The deputy managing director of the IMF was speaking from Davos, the Swiss town she is visiting to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. In a video shared from Davos, Gita Gopinath said rising inflation and fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war, combined with the lingering effects of the pandemic, would make 2023 a tough year. However, a strong labour market in several countries and consumption holding up in several parts of the world indicated resilience. “We are in Davos and if I were to describe IMF’s outlook for 2023 in one line, it would be that we have a tough year ahead but there are signs of resilience. “A tough year, because we have high levels of inflation around the world, even though it’s been coming down the last few months,” she … [Read more...] about Gita Gopinath shares a video message from Davos: ‘Tough year ahead’

Tammy Murphy, Alyse LaHue Share What Success Looks Like For Sky Blue FC In 2020
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It is hard to overstate how much the conversation has changed around Sky Blue FC in less than a year, with Tammy Murphy taking on a lead role on behalf of ownership, and Alyse LaHue serving as first interim GM, now full-time GM of the club. A year ago, the team couldn’t convince first-round draft picks to even sign with the club. A year ago, questions about the team’s facilities, living conditions, let alone larger questions of identity and geographical footprint remained entirely undecided at best. Now, on the cusp of a draft that will see Sky Blue pick two of the top three and five of the first 17 players in Baltimore, a core of young talent around the legendary Carli Lloyd is set to begin full-time play at Red Bull Arena, altering the home field from one of the least impressive in the NWSL to perhaps the very best.
