AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Visa Crackdown on MSMEs: Malaysia’s PM Anwar Ibrahim warned that some foreigners misuse visitor and student visas to run businesses, including MSMEs, sometimes using local names for licences or sourcing goods and labour from their home countries—prompting calls for tougher enforcement to protect Malaysian jobs. Credit Guarantee Bottleneck (J&K): India’s CGTMSE credit guarantee scheme is growing in Jammu and Kashmir, but benefits are still concentrated in a few banks, with J&K Bank dominating coverage—highlighting a participation gap for wider lending. Speed Economy in Thailand: Thailand’s e-commerce boom is pushing a “speed economy,” with faster buying decisions and shorter delivery expectations reshaping how merchants and card providers market and price purchases. AI Infrastructure Push (Korea): SK Telecom and NAVER plan gigawatt-scale AI Clouds using NVIDIA’s DSX platform, aiming to scale sovereign, enterprise-ready AI factories starting from major sites. Embedded Finance for SMEs (MENA): Yango Ventures’ first MENA bet backs Dubai’s Comfi AI, targeting SME working-capital stress with embedded finance that moves from invoice cycles of months to near real-time. SME Growth & Policy (India): India’s governance and digital reforms are credited with improving the business ecosystem and investor confidence, alongside a surge in startups and jobs. Food Safety for Small Vendors (India): FSSAI reiterated warnings against using newspapers to wrap or serve fried street food, citing ink chemicals and heavy metals risks for consumers.
