AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Cross-border Trade Costs: The UK is set to remove the £135 de minimis customs threshold, meaning more small-parcel imports will face tariffs and tighter data rules—an immediate hit to direct-from-overseas shipping economics for small businesses. Energy Skills for SMEs: Pacific communities are accelerating solar adoption as fuel costs bite; Fiji’s Solar Scholars training is building local know-how to design, install and maintain systems for households, schools and small firms. SME Banking Push: Maybank unveiled Maybank2E, a next-gen regional business banking platform with faster onboarding and one-login cash management, trade finance and FX—aimed at helping SMEs manage cross-border payments around the clock. Local Jobs vs Scams: Kenya reports rising overseas job scam and trafficking cases, with 170+ repatriations in 2025—highlighting weak recruitment protections that trap vulnerable job seekers. Tech & Industry Partnerships: Japan’s SCAE teamed with Secondmind to bring engineering AI tools to OEM and Tier 1 developers, targeting faster design work for CASE vehicle programs. Policy & Talent Mobility: South Korea eased parts of immigration rules for work visas and expanded pathways for foreign students and researchers, aiming to match talent with local labor needs.
