ReutersFebruary 21, 20240

ReutersNovember 16, 20230

By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) – Global investors expect a large amount of financial pain out of Argentina no matter who voters pick on Sunday as their next president, with social unrest as top of mind as a much-needed fiscal adjustment will likely trigger even more inflation.

ReutersAugust 7, 20230

By Kanishka Singh and Humeyra Pamuk WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The arrest of Imran Khan is Pakistan’s “internal matter”, a U.S. State Department spokesman said on Monday, declining to take a position on the legal troubles of the former prime minister and frequent U.S. critic. Police arrested Khan in Lahore on Saturday after a court sentenced him to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts. The guilty verdict could stop the opposition leader from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party from contesting a national election later this year. Khan denies wrongdoing and maintains the government and the powerful military – which

Marketmind: Fitch puts US on watch; will it matter in Washington?

ReutersMay 25, 20230

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Sonali Desai. The U.S. debt ceiling saga continues to hang over global markets, with the White House and Republicans both citing progress in the latest round of talks but no breakthrough yet. Ratings agency Fitch opted not to wait, placing the country’s “AAA” rating on watch for a possible downgrade – the first major agency to do so.

ReutersMay 10, 20230

By Orhan Coskun ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey’s economy is bracing for a “lost year” no matter who wins landmark elections on Sunday, political insiders say, even if the opposition pledges to tear down President Tayyip Erdogan’s unorthodox policies. The main opposition alliance, which is leading in some opinion polls, promises to free up the economy and financial markets from state controls and return independence to a central bank that would then aggressively raise interest rates to cool inflation. Erdogan’s ruling party said it would press on with its low-rates and high-growth programme despite inflation at 44% and depleted FX reserves
