AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Electricity Costs & Usage: BVIEC says 95% of customers use 1,500 kWh or less monthly, so the Sept. 1 fuel-subsidy adjustment won’t change bills for most households and businesses—only the portion above 1,500 kWh is billed without the subsidy. Public Health Recall: Clorox is recalling 6.3 million bottles of Mistolin and Lestoil cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to possible Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination, with heightened risk for people with weakened immune systems or medical devices. Major Drug Bust Link to BVI: Trinidad and Tobago police seized about 416.5 kg of cocaine worth TT$193.5m hidden inside four backhoe tyres, arresting a 42-year-old businessman from the British Virgin Islands plus two Saint Lucians. Cybersecurity in Courts: Thomson Reuters disclosed a C-Track case-management breach affecting court records in 11 U.S. states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada; the company says there’s no confirmed misuse yet, but some records may include personal information. Financial Services & Training: 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 H. Lavity Stoutt Community College’s Robert Mathavious Institute. Trade & Partnerships: Ghana Enterprises Agency CEO Margaret Ansei signed an MoU with the U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority to deepen trade and investment cooperation. Community Giving: Carey Olsen (BVI) L.P. says it supported five local charities via its Festival Giving Initiative, plus a separate contribution to BVI Optimum Skydancers for Emancipation Festival.
