AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Energy & Trade Security: US-Iran talks are set to resume in Doha Tuesday after a weekend of strikes, but Iran warns it may halt negotiations and says any attempt to bypass its preferred Strait of Hormuz route would “increase tensions,” keeping shipping disrupted and oil-price nerves alive. Bahrain Foreign Policy: Iran’s senior adviser Ali Akbar Velayati issued a direct warning to Bahrain amid claims of attacks on US bases in the kingdom, while Bahrain denies violations of its sovereignty. Local Regulation: Bahrain’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce is pushing compliance ahead of a ban on single-use plastic bags thinner than 57 microns from August 20, urging businesses to clear stock and switch to approved alternatives. Digital & Governance: A Shura Council member says Bahrain is using AI and digital tools to boost legislative efficiency, citing the Digital Maturity Index ranking. Banking & Business: HBL marked five years of its Beijing branch, highlighting RMB intermediation links for clients across the region. Markets: Gold slipped as oil rose on renewed Gulf risk, while UK and regional equities traded cautiously on Middle East uncertainty. Clean Energy Pipeline: Bids for EWA’s 100MW Bilaj Al Jazayer solar IPP were submitted by Yellow Door Energy and ACWA Power, supporting Bahrain’s renewables target.
