AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Strait of Hormuz Tensions: Bahrain condemned an Iranian attack on an ADNOC-linked vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a breach of international law and urging UN action to deter further attacks and reopen the waterway for global energy security. US Policy Shock: Donald Trump said the US will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory, while Iran dismissed the claims, keeping shipping and energy risk front and centre for the region. Regional Security Realignment: A US allies report highlights Gulf frustration over the Iran war’s drag on security guarantees, as Bahrain and others look to diversify partnerships beyond Washington. Cyber & Finance Safety: Bahrain’s Interior Ministry urged residents to freeze bank accounts and report immediately if a phone is hacked, including factory resetting devices and changing passwords. Infrastructure Update: Work has started on the Budaiya Highway widening project, with 6.7km of upgrades funded via the Kuwait Fund and aimed at easing traffic to Salman City. Banking Inclusion: National Bank of Bahrain appointed an Equal Opportunities Committee to strengthen governance on inclusivity, women’s empowerment, youth development and workplace wellbeing. Travel & Business: Gulf Air launched promotional fares to Kuala Lumpur ahead of the Malaysia F1 race, with tickets from BHD 65 and direct flights from Sept 29. Food Labelling Push: A Bahraini MP backed a study into restaurant calorie labelling to improve nutritional transparency for consumers. Sports Spotlight: Seef kept its Singapore Challenger hopes alive by advancing to the quarter-finals, while Bahrain’s youth volleyball and basketball teams posted key results in regional competitions.
