AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

MSME Financing: Malaysia’s 2027 budget sets a record RM57 billion in financing facilities for small businesses, up from RM50 billion, and exempts MSMEs from the latest minimum-wage increase to ease cost pressures. Recovery and Resilience: Jamaica is offering $500 million in grants—not loans—to help small operators rebuild after Hurricane Melissa. Philippine business leaders are also urging government support for cybersecurity, as 78% of Asia-Pacific MSMEs surveyed reported a cyber incident in the past year. Backing Entrepreneurs: RBC is committing more than $70 million to help young and Indigenous Canadians launch or grow businesses, while a new Nigerian fund aims to provide $200 million in SME credit. Access to Capital: India’s SEBI proposed changes to SME IPO rules, including lowering the minimum application amount to ₹1 lakh and raising the operating-profit threshold for issuers.
