AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

AI for SMEs: Emirates NBD is shifting its UAE incubator toward hands-on AI support for established Emirati businesses, with partners including Visa and AWS helping firms test practical uses. Small-business lending: SBI’s loans to small and medium enterprises grew 22% year on year in the second quarter, as its overall loan book expanded. India’s Vartis Platforms has also launched UdhaarSaathi, offering collateral-free loans of ₹15,000 to ₹2.5 lakh to small retailers through NBFC partners. Easier selling online: New Indian GST rules simplify registration and speed refunds for small e-commerce sellers. Digital trade: ASEAN’s digital economy push still faces fragmented rules and systems, a hurdle for small firms seeking customers across borders.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result. Feedback is welcome. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about the AGP Executive Report.
