Quick Glance: Yellen warns of further sanctions in response to Iran's increasing activities
- Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of potential global economic damage from rising tensions in the Middle East and pledged that the U.S. and its allies won't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the region.
- The fast-rising tensions between Iran and Israel and the potential implications of escalation on the global economy are at the forefront of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
- Yellen announced additional sanctions actions against Iran in the coming days and expressed support for liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's reconstruction.
- Another major focus of this year's meetings will be Chinese industrial policy, which Yellen believes poses a threat to U.S. jobs and the global economy. She plans to meet with Chinese counterparts to identify potential areas of cooperation and address concerns.

asiatimes.com/2024/04/yen-hits-34-year-low-defying-end-of-negative-rates/
Quick Glance: Japan's Economic Policy and the Impact on the Yen
- On March 19, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised interest rates for the first time in 17 years, signaling the end of an era of negative interest rates.
- Despite this adjustment, Japan continues to have the lowest interest rates globally. The notion that lower interest rates lead to higher growth was the basis for adopting negative rates.
- However, negative rates did not serve as an economic stimulus but rather burdened commercial banks' reserves at the central bank.
- The BoJ's policy of low and negative interest rates has hindered bank credit growth in Japan for years, impacting the economy negatively.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
- The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.
- The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.
- The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.
- The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.
