AGP Executive Report
Last update: 28 minutes agoEU Association Momentum: San Marino’s Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos met Luca Beccari and said there’s progress toward a possible EU association agreement, highlighting new cooperation opportunities; negotiations were approved by the European Commission in 2024 but remain unimplemented due to a dispute involving €15m frozen from Starcom Holding tied to the Banca di San Marino case. Retail & Exports: Interjeans, the San Marino-based distributor, says Lyle & Scott is now driving one-third of its wholesale revenue, with Interjeans reporting 2025 turnover of €39m and targeting 5%–7% growth for the current year as the brand leans on major retailers rather than new flagship stores in Italy. Travel & Border Rules: The EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is causing delays across Europe, but San Marino nationals are listed among those exempt, which could help travelers avoid queues during the summer rush. Business Travel Demand: India’s Journeys N Tales is reporting strong growth in bespoke luxury travel, betting on personalised itineraries over standard package holidays. Local Safety Spotlight: A solo-travel risk ranking puts San Marino at the top globally for 2026, with nearly 90% of residents saying they feel safe walking alone at night.
