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.

Quick Glance: What Lies Ahead for TikTok in the US?

The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

President Joe Biden has confirmed his intention to sign the legislation on Wednesday.

ByteDance acquired the well-known karaoke app Musical.ly and rebranded it as TikTok back in 2017. It has become one of the fastest-growing applications in the United States, boasting 150 million monthly subscribers.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have considered California home, and now his official residency in the U.S. has been documented in a corporate filing.

The document was filed at Britain’s corporate registrar, Companies House, to update the official residency of the British royal for business records of Travalyst Limited.

There had been little official confirmation of Harry’s residency status until this week, with an entry indicating a change of residency to June 29, 2023, the day the couple left Frogmore Cottage, their British home.

It is unclear what type of U.S. visa or residency permit Harry holds, despite efforts by conservative activists in the U.S. to ascertain them, including an ongoing lawsuit.

Quick Glance: IMF Warns of Fiscal Deficits in US and China

The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.

Concerns were also raised about Chinese government debt, with the country projected to have a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025, more than double the average for other emerging markets.

In addition to the US and China, the fund named two more countries that “critically need to take policy action to address fundamental imbalances between spending and revenues”.

The IMF noted that “large and sudden increases” in US borrowing costs typically lead to surges in government bond yields globally and exchange rate turbulence in emerging markets and developing economies.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

Quick Glance: Farewell to Frank Field: A Life Dedicated to Social Justice

The former Labour minister and advocate for poverty alleviation, Frank Field, has passed away at the age of 81.

Throughout his career in Westminster, Lord Field championed social causes such as child poverty and modern slavery for over four decades.

Field succumbed to a long battle with cancer in a care home in London. He advocated for a 2021 bill on assisted dying in England and Wales.

His family emphasized that Field will be mourned by admirers in the political realm, but most of all missed by those fortunate enough to have experienced his laughter and friendship.

Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure

A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.
