AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Malaysia Budget: The 2027 package directs tax relief toward SMEs and middle-income earners, while aiming to balance support with fiscal discipline. SBA Lending: U.S. 7(a) approvals fell to 56,130 loans worth $32.4 billion in fiscal 2026, with both measures down by double digits; tighter underwriting now applies as the new year begins. AI Scams: The BBB warns that one in four surveyed small-business owners has faced an AI-driven scam, urging firms to set clear rules for AI tools and verify payment requests. SME Outlook: Sentiment eased in September, but the outlook remained stable amid economic growth. Growth Funding: India approved a ₹10,000-crore fund for direct equity investment in SMEs, aimed at helping firms scale and compete globally. Hiring: A new report points to a rebound in small-business hiring.
