AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoPower Crisis & Relief: PM Philip Davis asked BPL to examine further financial relief after Wednesday’s island-wide blackout, as residents continue to report repeated outages and load-shedding confusion. Energy Sector Accountability: Central Bank Governor John Rolle said there’s no measurable economic impact from the outages so far, while tourism leaders warn costs are rising—especially for smaller operators without standby power.

Healthcare Expansion: Doctors Hospital Harbourside was handed to the Public Hospitals Authority in a $29m deal, and a separate NeuroGen partnership is set to launch a specialist autism-focused hospital creating 75 jobs. Business & Compliance: Beneficial ownership non-compliance fell from 28% in COVID-era years to about 2% last year, reducing financial crime risk. Sports & Community: Olympian Tonique Williams joins CIBC Caribbean Unsung Heroes judging as nominations near close; and Devynne Charlton won Commonwealth Games gold in the women’s 100m hurdles.
