  • Europe's push to cut Russian gas faces a race against winter

    While Europeans bask in the warmth of spring, governments are in a race against winter. Europe is trying to cut use of Russian natural gas because of the war in Ukraine, but still find enough fuel to keep the lights on and homes warm before it gets cold again. That has sent officials and utilities racing to fill underground storage with scarce supplies of natural gas from other producers — competition that further raises already high prices as utility bills and business costs soar. Italy has ann

    McDonald's is closing its doors in Russia, ending an era of optimism and increasing the country's isolation over its war in Ukraine. The Chicago burger giant confirmed Monday that it is selling its 850 restaurants in Russia. McDonald's said it will seek a buyer who will employ its 62,000 workers in Russia, and will continue to pay those workers until the deal closes. “Some might argue that providing access to food and continuing to employ tens of thousands of ordinary citizens, is surely the rig

  • Climate change is hurting insurers - report

    Climate change is hurting the insurance industry and only 8% of insurers are preparing adequately for its impact, consultants Capgemini and financial industry body Efma said in a report on Tuesday. Insured losses from natural catastrophes have increased 250% in the last 30 years, with perils such as wildfires and storms, seen as particularly impacted by climate change, causing an even faster rise in insured losses, the report said. Insurers' main catastrophe risk in the past was typically from hurricanes in U.S. states such as Florida and Texas, Seth Rachlin, global insurance industry leader at Capgemini, told Reuters.

    OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the new national child-care deals are saving Canadians thousands of dollars and helping offset the hits that keep coming to grocery and gas bills. But the prime minister appears to be rejecting a call from the NDP to hike the GST rebate and Canada Child Benefit cheques this year, noting both are already indexed to inflation. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh wants the government to double the GST rebate and hike the child benefit by $500 per kid to help Canadia

    Companies including Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com Inc and Tesla have rushed to the aid of their U.S. employees as several states tighten abortion restrictions. The country's top court is also set to overturn a 1973 ruling which legalized abortion nationwide, according to a leaked initial draft majority opinion by the U.S. Supreme Court.

  • Experts see parallels between 1970s inflation crisis and today

    Experts say there are similarities between today's hot inflation and that of the 1970s. Baby boomers will recall the difficulty of trying to pay a mortgage in Canada in 1981, when interest rates peaked at a whopping 21 per cent and ultimately triggered a recession. Double-digit interest rates in the early 1980s were the result of the Bank of Canada's efforts to rein in the out-of-control inflation of the 1970s. Economists say the inflation of the 1970s was caused in part by rising energy costs a

    COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's governing party on Tuesday defeated a move in Parliament to urgently debate a motion that would censure President Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the nation's worst economic crisis, which the prime minister said has left only enough gasoline for one day. It was unclear when the motion will be taken up again.

    Japanese conglomerate Sony Group Corp said it is well-positioned to play a leading role in the metaverse, or immersive virtual worlds, which commentators speculate will massively disrupt industries and establish new powerhouses. The metaverse is a vague term encapsulating the idea that consumers will spend more time in online simulated environments. "The metaverse is at the same time a social space and live network space where games, music, movies and anime intersect," Chief Executive Kenichiro Yoshida said at a strategy briefing on Wednesday, pointing to the use of free-to-play battle royale title Fortnite from Epic Games as an online social space.
