EconomicCrisis🇮🇷Iran 🇨🇳China 🇵🇰Pakistan+226d ago

Iran's actions have disrupted Hormuz shipping lanes, destabilizing Gulf trade and energy markets. China's pre-built corridor infrastructure and strong industrial capacity position it to gain relative advantage, while Pakistan has begun routing transit through Iran via Chinese-built corridors—a shift that redirects regional trade away from traditional UAE ports and consolidates Beijing's influence over critical supply chains.

EconomicCrisis🇺🇸United States 🇦🇪United Arab Emirates 🇧🇲BM+37d ago

# Translation For more than a decade, governments of the world's major economies have attempted to crack down on tax havens. Since the approval of the Fatca law in the United States in 2010, through the revelations of the "Panama Papers" in 2016, to the creation of beneficial ownership registries and new information-sharing mechanisms, the narrative seemed clear: the offshore business was destined to lose relevance. However, the opposite occurred.

War in the Middle East 'reshaping' energy investment strategies globally: IEA The conflict in the Middle East is pushing governments to find new supply routes and turn to domestic resources to brave the world's biggest energy crisis, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said Thursday. "We are in the midst of the largest energy security crisis the world has ever faced... and I believe this will reshape investment strategies globally, with parallels to the major changes the energy world witnessed after the oil shocks of the 1970s," said IEA executive director Fatih Birol.

EconomicCrisis🇨🇴Colombia 🇦🇪United Arab Emirates15d ago

Colombia's currency weakened sharply Tuesday as the US dollar climbed to $3,819.99, its highest point in 2026, after Standard & Poor's downgraded the country's sovereign rating from BB to BB-. The peso's deterioration reflects mounting concerns over public finance deterioration, proximity of presidential elections, and global risk aversion stemming from Middle East tensions, though carry-trade strategies tied to high local interest rates have provided some temporary support.
