How would a 'youth mobility scheme' between the UK and EU really work?
Quick Glance: EU Proposes Mobility Expansion for UK and EU Youth
  • 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.

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.
