China has promised to help Zimbabwe resolve its financial issue and has forgiven unspecified amounts of the countrys interestfree loans. Ambassador Zhou Ding underlined Chinas determination to resolve Zimbabwes debt problems, given that the nation is struggling with an astounding $17.7 billion in publicly guaranteed debt, most of which is owing to foreign parties, most notably China. Critics warn that Beijing is gaining political power while the US is losing ground in Africa due to Chinas efforts, which might prolong the debt trap. Reintroducing its currency for the third time in ten years, Zimbabwe, beset by severe drought and mounting debt, hopes to ease the financial load on its people as sufferings mount. Read More..

Macquarie Bank Fined A$10 Million for Allowing Unauthorized Fee Transactions

The Federal Court of Australia fined Macquarie Bank A$10 million $6.4 million for failing to stop third parties from making unauthorized fee transacti

The Federal Court of Australia fined Macquarie Bank A$10 million $6.4 million for failing to stop third parties from making unauthorized fee transactions on its customers accounts. Macquarie granted different authorization levels to other parties, such as financial advisors. From May 2016 to January 2020, the bank did not check if transactions were for fees, even though it offered a platform for bulk transacting. Due to this oversight, financial advisor Ross Hopkins could stealthily take around A$2.9 million from his customers accounts without being caught. The banks parent business, Macquarie Group, committed to paying the penalties and compensating the impacted clients. ASIC Chair Joe Longo emphasized that the fraudulent actions resulted from Macquaries violation of statutory responsibilities. Read More..

South Africas annual inflation rate dropped to 5.3% in March, a sign that the nations economy is making headway in containing prices. The headline consumer inflation rate in February was 5.6%, down from 5.3% in January. This decline came after that. Despite this encouraging outcome, the South African central bank aims to control inflation between 3% and 6% and is unlikely to declare interest rate reductions anytime soon. Instead, it will likely keep its primary interest rate at 8.25% for a few months. South Africas growth projection for 2024 was recently decreased by the International Monetary Fund IMF to 0.9%, citing continued economic concerns made worse by the epidemic, including power outages, infrastructural problems, and high unemployment.

Surpassing market estimates, Alaska Air Group expects better profitability for the current quarter, driven by a rebound in business travel demand. Although the grounding of its 737 MAX 9 aircraft caused a setback, Alaska had a lower loss for the first quarter. Shane Tackett, chief financial officer, emphasised the surprisingly positive trend in corporate travel expenditures, indicating a more solid forecast for the coming year. The airline raised its previous projection of $3 to $5 a share to $3.25 to $5.25 for fullyear earnings. Still, worries about rising gasoline prices persist, which has led to a review of the hedging programme. Alaska is hopeful despite obstacles, projecting secondquarter earnings that will be above analyst projections. Read More..
