Quick Glance: Europe's Economy Falling Behind: Enrico Letta Urges Action

Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.

Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.

European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.

Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.

apnews.com/article/britain-smoking-ban-0780fd4fc9afcdc002a0544252ef907a

Quick 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.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Tusk praised Frederiksen's positive response to Poland's proposal to join the project.

German Chancellor Scholz previously suggested a pan-European air defense system in 2022, estimating a five-year timeline.

The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow mobility for millions of 18- to 30-year-olds before Brexit.

Under the planned agreement, EU and UK citizens aged between 18 and 30 could have the opportunity to stay in the destination country for an extended period.

The decision by the commission, which was previously strongly against concessions to the UK, is seen as a breakthrough in UK-EU relations.

If approved, millions of young people could come to the UK to fill the gap left by Brexit in the hospitality sector and at universities.

Truss assumed office on September 6, 2022, succeeding Boris Johnson, but faced early challenges and personal struggles.

Despite implementing economic measures and facing political turbulence, Truss resigned after a mini-budget led to a pensions crisis.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

The United States imposed new sanctions Thursday on sixteen people and two entities associated with Iran’s drone program to punish Tehran for the weekend's attack on Israel.

The sanctions target executives of an engine manufacturer supplying Iran’s Shahad-131 drones, companies servicing the engines, and individuals providing the drones to Iranian proxy forces in the Middle East.

Coordinated with European allies, the new sanctions aim to disrupt Iran's missile and drone program and isolate the country globally.

President Joe Biden emphasized the US commitment to holding Iran accountable, utilizing economic tools to counter Iran's activities, as stated by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Quick Glance: UK on Track to Exit Recession with Rising GDP

Britain's GDP rose by 0.1% in February despite heavy rainfall affecting the construction sector and retail.

Sectors like manufacturing and services experienced growth, while construction saw declines due to bad weather.

Recent months of economic growth suggest the recession may soon come to an end, although pressure from the cost of living crisis and higher prices persists for households and businesses.

Despite the positive growth in 2024, GDP remains below 2023 levels and has been stagnant since early 2022, with real wages continuing to decrease and many facing financial difficulties.

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.
