bbc.com/news/business-68823399
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.

- Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.
UK freezes London property linked to Putin ally after ICIJ report - ICIJ: Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the U.K. government has faced criticism for ...
icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/uk-freezes-london-property-linked-to-putin-ally-after-icij-report/
Quick Glance: Freezing of London Property Following ICIJ Report
- Roughly a week after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists revealed that the London townhouse remained untouched by sanctions against the high-ranking Kremlin official, U.K. authorities froze Igor Komarov's property.
- In February, the ongoing connection between Komarov and the townhouse in Herbert Crescent - a prime location in Central London - was highlighted. The property was acquired in 2007 for over $16.5 million through a British Virgin Islands-based shell company under his control.
- Instead of directly listing Komarov, a trust was indicated as the beneficial owner of the BVI company, Wastom Holdings Ltd., in the submissions under the U.K.'s Register of Overseas Entities.
- It is suggested that the British Government should now disclose details about trusts overseeing properties directly or through companies. This transparency measure would aid in uncovering assets owned by Putin's associates and corrupt individuals, leaving them no refuge.
