AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Public Health: Iceland’s Directorate of Health says it’s “losing the battle” over online alcohol sales, after tests found weak age checks: e-ID at purchase in 36% of cases and only 7% checked on delivery, with parents calling daily and officials warning of rising teen access. Regulation: A draft bill would introduce plain packaging for tobacco and tighten nicotine rules, including limits on nicotine content and restrictions on flavoured products plus tighter controls on remote and home delivery sales. Business & Pharma: Alvotech says the US FDA has closed its May 2026 inspection of its Reykjavik manufacturing site, classed as Voluntary Action Indicated, as it pushes biosimilar applications forward. Local Safety: Reykjavík police report a sharp drop in central break-ins after three repeat offenders were placed in preventive detention, with the city planning more CCTV and a neighbourhood watch push. Geology: A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck near Bárðarbunga, with experts saying it fits ongoing patterns and there are no signs of volcanic unrest. Mining & Markets: Amaroq published an updated mineral resource estimate for its Nalunaq gold mine in Greenland and released a prospectus ahead of a London listing move.
