AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

AI Workforce & Governance: Singapore Computer Society and IMDA unveiled a new cross-industry AI skills pathway, plus AI assurance and legal-sector “AI fluency” programmes, aiming to grow trusted AI adoption and tech jobs. Regional Security: The US and South Korea cut Ulchi Freedom Shield drills to five days after Trump ordered a “substantial” reduction, while North Korea says the move won’t change its view of allied hostility. US–North Korea Diplomacy: Trump reiterated he expects to meet Kim Jong Un later this year and again cited a 57-weapon nuclear figure, framing the relationship as making allies safer. Finance & Markets: US Treasury bond buybacks steadied global bonds and eased yield pressure after a sharp sell-off, with gold holding near $4,500 as investors weigh oil-linked inflation risks. Local Business & Economy: Analysts said Singapore’s telco price war is squeezing StarHub and Singtel earnings, strengthening the case for industry consolidation. Singapore Tech in Practice: Singapore Polytechnic’s CASTLE will let students run real penetration tests on SMBs, supported by a CSRO licence for live security operations. Cross-border Tech Finance: Ant International launched FalconTST Model 2.0 and signed up major banks to use its AI for FX liquidity risk management. Sports & Community: Oxford Orthopaedics became title sponsor of the Oxford Gender League 2026 with the Singapore Flying Disc Association, backing structured community sport pathways.
