AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

HUD Funding Freeze Hits USVI Housing Recovery: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has suspended federal disaster-recovery funding to the U.S. Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority, citing widespread financial mismanagement, weak fraud controls, false certifications, and improper payments tied to the $1.9B recovery pot after Hurricanes Irma and Maria—HUD says less than a third was spent and that the suspension will remain in place while the Inspector General investigates. Women’s Business Support Gets a Boost: The SBA announced a $6 million competition under its Women’s Business Center Modernization Initiative, with eligible applicants including the U.S. Virgin Islands; proposals are due Aug. 10, 2026. Local Business & Finance Watch: ZTB Capital cut the minimum investment for its ZTB Quantum Fund to $2,000, aiming to broaden access for professional investors. BVI Governance & Money Questions: In the British Virgin Islands, lawmakers are set to question the Premier over a controversial US$5 million deposit into the failed Bank of Asia, including whether it was authorized under public finance rules. Tech for Business Calling: First Orion launched Mobile Originated Branded Calling with T-Mobile, letting business customers place authenticated branded calls from mobile devices. Crypto Market Signals: A BVI-licensed crypto exchange operator warns that EU MiCA compliance costs may push some licensed firms to exit the market.
