AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Electricity Relief Update: BVIEC says 95% of customers use 1,500 kWh or less monthly, so the Sept. 1 fuel subsidy adjustment won’t change bills for them; only consumption above 1,500 kWh will be billed without the subsidy. Public Health Recall: Clorox is recalling about 6.3 million bottles of scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners and Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to possible bacteria (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa), with extra risk for people with weakened immune systems or medical devices. Disaster Response Tech: First responders in the Virgin Islands joined Royal Navy HMS Trent to test a heavy-lift drone (Malloy T-150B) capable of carrying up to 150 pounds to help deliver supplies if storms damage local transport. Climate Funding Opens: The Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund launched its first grant call, with two pathways—community resilience and capacity-building—for local groups seeking adaptation or mitigation support. Financial Services Skills: The BVI Financial Services Commission launched the FSC Robert A. Mathavious Scholarship Grant, offering up to US$5,000 for three applicants annually for approved programmes at HLSCC’s Robert Mathavious Institute for Financial Services. Maritime Safety Push: The Coast Guard warned the public about illegal passenger-for-hire charter operations and urged riders to verify credentials and inspection certificates before boarding. Digital Asset Regulation: DWF Labs received BVI FSC approval as a Virtual Asset Service Provider, expanding regulated OTC trading and market-making access via a BVI entity. Cybersecurity: Thomson Reuters disclosed an unauthorized breach of its court case management platform (C-Track) affecting courts in 11 U.S. states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Ontario, with some sealed or confidential records potentially exposed.
