AGP Executive Report

Last update: 20 hours ago

Loyalty Apps in Qatar: Customers across Doha are increasingly earning points, cashback and personalised offers via mobile loyalty apps spanning aviation, telecoms, retail and hospitality, with analysts projecting the wider Middle East loyalty market to reach $5.49bn by 2029 as digital payments and smartphone use accelerate. UAE Growth Snapshot: The UAE economy grew 6.2% in 2025 to Dh1.9tn, driven by a 6.8% jump in non-oil activity; trade, finance, construction and manufacturing led, supporting the country’s push toward a more digital, diversified model. UAE Trade Push: The UAE is deepening ties with the Eurasian Economic Union, with non-oil trade topping $33.3bn in 2025 and Kazakhstan emerging as a key partner. Energy Costs for SMEs: LPG and household natural gas prices in Taiwan will stay unchanged in June as the state absorbs losses to cushion consumers and small businesses, while industrial gas prices rise to reflect higher costs. Sanctions Hit Supply Chains: The US Treasury added an Iran-based procurement network to its sanctions list, alleging it impersonated US small businesses to buy restricted goods for Iran’s defense-linked entities—raising compliance and risk concerns for exporters and vendors. AI Market Hype vs Payoff: New Ruvi AI updates and related coverage keep spotlighting “one token” AI models that aim to route value back to contributors, as investors look for more measurable ROI in AI tooling.
