AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Banking Reform Push (Bangladesh): Bangladesh’s banking sector needs a dedicated reform commission, with officials and industry leaders citing politically backed takeovers, weak oversight and eroded public confidence. Credit Growth (Philippines): BSP data shows universal and commercial bank lending rose 11.4% year-on-year in April to P14.75tn, the fastest in nine months, led by stronger business borrowing. Budget Pressure (Bangladesh): Ahead of the FY27 budget, analysts warn a revenue shortfall is forcing heavier reliance on bank borrowing, raising debt-trap concerns. FX Intervention (Israel): The Bank of Israel bought $801m in May to slow a sharp shekel gain, after exporters complained about damage to growth. Digital Banking (Bangladesh): Southeast Bank reopened its Motijheel Islamic branch after relocation, while Mutual Trust Bank launched MTB Trade X to digitise trade requests end-to-end. Compliance & Fraud (Bangladesh/UK): Prime Bank ran AML/CFT training; UK police warned Midlands residents about counterfeit £20 notes used in home purchases. Cross-border Islamic Banking (Middle East): Al Baraka Islamic launched a service letting customers open and manage accounts in Egypt. Airline Stress (Global): IATA warned higher jet fuel costs from the Middle East conflict could drive more airline bankruptcies and consolidation. Sanctions Watch (Israel/West Bank): UK and allies plan sanctions aimed at deterring companies from backing a proposed West Bank settlement plan.
