AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

UAE SME Tax Relief: The UAE Ministry of Finance extended corporate tax relief for small businesses (up to Dh3m revenue) until Dec 31, 2029, easing compliance and freeing cash for hiring, marketing, and early-stage growth. UAE Fintech Push: Emirates NBD partnered with Dubai Future District Fund to accelerate fintech and AI progress, aiming to boost innovation and adoption. Oman Tourism & Micro-Enterprise Support: Khareef Dhofar Season 2026 runs through Sept 21 with 136 free stalls for home-based businesses and artisans, plus a large agri-tourism destination to drive local demand. Syria Return Risks: Ras al-Ain’s first coordinated return convoy in over seven years faced assaults and gunfire, underlining ongoing security and property concerns for displaced families. Trade & SME Financing: BRICS trade ministers backed stronger trade links and agreed to study invoice discounting mechanisms to close the global trade finance gap for MSMEs. Energy Pressure on Businesses: Talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remain stalled, with Iran’s conditions seen as non-starters, pushing oil and gas prices higher and adding cost pressure across supply chains.
