AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

City Finance Overhaul: Reykjavík’s new coalition has launched a major City Hall restructuring, cutting 18 positions, abolishing two offices and tightening spending controls, aiming to save ISK 280–330 million annually. Public Transport Policy: The city has also ended free Strætó bus travel for primary school children after about 50 days, saying the scheme wasn’t properly funded. Foreign Affairs & Tourism: Iceland’s Foreign Ministry confirmed a private week-long visit by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, with routine security and logistics support arranged via the US Embassy. Trade & Agriculture: India held its first-ever mango promotion events in Reykjavík and Akureyri to boost exports, highlighting varieties and pointing to the India-EFTA trade deal. Business & Industry: Icelandair’s viral “really bad photographer” hiring campaign has concluded with Blanche Montemard selected after massive applicant interest. Geothermal & Energy: A new 100 MW geothermal project in Iceland cleared a key hurdle, underscoring continued momentum in the sector. Health Approvals: EU regulators backed Acadia’s DAYBU (trofinetide) for Rett syndrome neurobehavioral symptoms, a step toward EU marketing authorization.
