Representative image Building up behind the scenes for decades, the climate crisis is now clearly upon us. Emission of greenhouse gases continues to increase. As per the State of Global Climate Report (2021) , the last seven years have been the warmest on record. Extreme events such as excessive heatwaves, floods, cyclones, severe storms are increasing, leading to humanitarian crises propelled by population displacement and food insecurity. Several regions around the globe, especially in food-deficient countries in Africa and West Asia, are feeling the brunt of high food prices. The poor in these regions will be highly-vulnerable to food inflation. As if COVID-19 pandemic and lower production of food due to climatic events was not enough, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has taken away almost 28 percent of global supply of wheat, 70 percent of sunflower oil, and 40 percent of potash.

To this end, the government is considering extending the foreign exchange market operating hours and permitting foreign financial institutions to directly take part in the interbank currency market. It is also mulling easing regulations on offshore transactions of the Korean won. “The government will take into account ways to enhance foreign investors’ market access and stabilize the foreign exchange market,” Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki said at a meeting on external economic policy. MSCI has categorized the  Korean stock market for years as an emerging market, saying the absence of an offshore currency market for the Korean won is one of the main reasons for its decision. In November last year, the government said it will push again to win the MSCI developed market status, with the aim of getting its stock market first placed on the watch list during the agency’s upcoming June review. The government conducted a survey on global investment banks and foreign financial … [Read more...] about Currency liberalizations planned as MSCI inclusion targeted

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Elon Musk appears to have gotten cold feet about buying Twitter TWTR , and is now serving up the excuse that they are putting forth false statistics on user numbers, while offering up that 20% of their accounts are fake or spam versus the company’s claim they are under 5% despite Musk having no proof of the 20% number. In fact, this is likely a guess and comes out of left field as he fires off tweets like “My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate,” sending a turd emoji to Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and suggesting the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) conduct an investigation into Twitter. This could backfire, as the SEC filed charges in 2019 against Mus k for falsely tweeting, “considering taking Tesla TSLA private at $420/share. Funding secured. Mr. Musk settled with the SEC, paying $20 million personally and $20 million from Tesla and agreeing to run certain Twitter posts by … [Read more...] about Is Twitter Really Worth $46.5 Billion Dollars?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin With Willson Contreras, the big question is where will he be in August? But Contreras’ plight in his sixth season with the Cubs is even more confusing. Memorial Day approaches and Contreras doesn’t even know what he will be paid in 2022. As a result of Major League Baseball’s lockout, Contreras’ arbitration case hasn’t yet been heard. He’s asking for $10.25 million, the Cubs have offered $9 million and the hearing is set for June. This is the third year in a row that Contreras has filed for arbitration. The sides were able to reach an agreement the previous two years — the two-time All-Star catcher was paid $4.5 million in 2020 and $6.65 million last season — all bets seem off between the Cubs and their players as the team de-constructs the team that went to the postseason five years in a run of six seasons. Contreras, Jason Heyward and Kyle Hendricks are the last holdover players from the team that beat … [Read more...] about Chicago Cubs’ Contreras Faces Lots Of Questions, Including 2022 Salary

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the THAIFEX-Anuga Asia 2022 exhibition, the 66 year old government minister was bullish about the kingdom’s import-export future and says the nation can take advantage of the recent uncertainty and promote Thailand as a global hub of quality agricultural products and food, which will help to increase food-related shipments. The Malaysia government this week revealed it is banning the export of all poultry from the country. Indonesia recently banned palm oil exports, India restricted wheat and sugar exports to prevent a surge in domestic … [Read more...] about Thailand will not starve, says Commerce Minister

But the meeting took place against the backdrop of ongoing drama over Musk's attempts to pause the deal, and his publicly pushing back at the company's executives on issues including the prevalence of spam accounts and content moderation decisions.
