AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Inflation Watch: Consumer prices rose 4.2% in May, the highest in three years, with energy costs tied to the Iran war pushing fuel and transportation higher—raising pressure on interest-rate cuts. Local Cost Relief: Gov. Josh Green is considering pausing Hawaii’s gas tax (state and county) for part of the summer to blunt soaring pump prices. Climate & Travel Risk: NOAA confirmed El Niño has begun, with a 63% chance it becomes “very strong” and could intensify extreme weather—an issue for Hawaii’s tourism and disaster planning. Hawaii Health Access: Tropic Care returns to Hawaiʻi Island June 19–28 with no-cost medical, dental and optometry services via military teams. Volcano Update: Kīlauea’s summit eruption pause continues, but USGS expects another high-lava-fountaining episode between June 13 and June 15. Business & Talent: Bank of Hawaiʻi, First Hawaiian Bank and partners are backing a $5M NIL commitment to boost UH Mānoa athletics. Community & Housing: A permanent housing model for formerly houseless residents is expanding from Kalihi to Waimanalo. Tech/Policy: SBA proposed changes to the 8(a) program to end race-based admissions in federal contracting, shifting eligibility to applicants proving “social disadvantage.”
