Australias export earnings in the resources and energy sector are anticipated to decline over the next two years due to reduced global demand, primarily from China, its major trading partner. It is projected that commodity export earnings will decrease from the record A$467 billion in the previous year to A$400 billion in 2023/24 and further to A$352 billion by 2024/25. Factors contributing to this decline include the global economic slowdown, especially in China, as it recovers slowly from COVID19related lockdowns, as well as more favorable supply conditions leading to lower commodity prices. Despite this, these exports remain crucial to Australias economy. Read More..

Carlsberg cuts ties with Russian subsidiary amidst ownership dispute

Danish brewery giant Carlsberg has terminated licensing deals with its Russian subsidiary, which Russian authorities seized in July due to plans to sell the company following Moscows invasion of Ukraine. Many Western companies have ceased operations in Russia due to the conflict, resulting in significant sanctions against Moscow by the U.S. and Europe. Carlsberg had previously announced a buyer for Baltika, its subsidiary since 2000, and its 8,400 employees in June. However, a subsequent decree signed by President Vladimir Putin in July placed the business under state control. Baltika will still be permitted to sell its existing inventory until April 2024. Exiting the Russian market, which accounted for 9% of Carlsbergs profits in 2021, led to the company posting a net loss for 2022. Read More..

RBA Keeps Interest Rate at 4.1% Amid Economic Concerns

Under its new governor, Michele Bullock, the Reserve Bank of Australia RBA has maintained its interest rate at 4.1% for four months. Bullock foreshadowed potential rate increases by warning about persistent inflation threats. The RBA continues to pay close attention to changes in the labour market, household spending habits, inflation trends, and global economic trends. Core inflation continued to decrease despite slight monthly inflation increases. Concerns about probable rate increases at years end are increased by general elevated inflation. According to RBA papers, financial hardship is indicated by delayed arrears data and a rise in calls to the national debt helpline. For insights into how arrears and nonperforming loans are changing, the RBA seeks to investigate a greater spectrum of cuttingedge data. Read More..

Novo Nordisk Wins Patent Battle with Mylan

Mylan Pharmaceuticals, a Viatris company, attempted to challenge essential patents held by Novo Nordisk for its diabetes and weightloss medications

Mylan Pharmaceuticals, a Viatris company, attempted to challenge essential patents held by Novo Nordisk for its diabetes and weightloss medications, Wegovy and Ozempic. Still, such attempts were dismissed by the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Mylan had attempted to have these patents invalidated because the antidiabetes drug liraglutide made them conspicuous. Novo Nordisk has a strong defence strategy for its intellectual property. According to analysts, Wegovy, a very successful weightloss medication, is expected to generate more than $100 billion in sales by the end of the decade. Profits from Wegovy and Ozempic have made Novo Nordisk the most valuable firm in Europe. Read More..

Russian Rouble Dips Below $100 Mark Amid Currency Outflows

Due to currency outflows and a declining current account surplus, the Russian rouble momentarily fell below the 100tothedollar mark. It was reminiscent of a similar decline in August, which prompted the Russian central bank to impose a 350basispoint emergency increase in interest rates to 12%. At the beginning of every month, the rouble is generally under pressure as exporters stop converting their foreign exchange profits to pay for domestic commitments. Russias account surplus decreased by 86% yearly to $25.6 billion from January through August due to decreased exports, Western sanctions, and shifting trading patterns. Despite prior rate increases, economists predict that the central bank will continue to tighten the money supply to fight inflation at its forthcoming meeting on October 27. Read More..
