AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Education Relief: NUS has removed the $122 enrolment fee for continuing students for Semester Two, easing pressure on students while new students still pay the standard fee. Land & Exports: About 10,000 acres of STEC land at Faleolo have been handed to the Ministry of Lands and Survey, with another 3,000 acres reallocated for agricultural business development via the Samoa Export Authority—aimed at boosting exports and jobs. Rugby League Investment: Samoa is set to benefit from a AU$250m Pacific Rugby League Partnership that funds grassroots competitions, school programs, and youth/violence prevention, with a promise to explore NRL and NRLW matches in the Pacific. Regional Security Tensions: Tuvalu has condemned China’s nuclear-capable missile test that splashed down near Samoa’s region, and Pacific leaders are weighing a “very strong” joint statement. Banking & Sport Sponsorship: BSP has been confirmed as a major sponsor of the 2026 Rugby League World Cup, backing regional pride and community engagement. Business/Markets: Phemex launched BTC Onchain Earn with Solv, offering on-chain Bitcoin yield strategies through its platform. Corporate Moves: J-Star Holding announced a 1-for-5 share consolidation to regain Nasdaq compliance.
