The government is in negotiations with the IMF for changes to the program, as Q1 23 targets were not met. As we have been arguing, the large negative effect of the drought on agricultural production has increased uncertainty about the government’s ability to muddle through
without as harper exchange rate devaluation this year, in the context of depressed net reserves levels. The deepening economic crisis might improve the opposition’s seemingly higher chances of winning the next presidential election, judging by the government’s record (sigue)
Forcing Someone to a Vulnerable Position to Get What You want is Poor Leadership Skill!

The #Barclays7 were neither imprisoned nor fined, but had to pay court costs of £500 each. They were each given suspended sentences for 2 years today in court. We have this message for the board of @Barclays

We express our bewilderment & dismay that Barclays chose to support the prosecution of these brave women rather than take heed of their warning. 2/15

#Barclays is the UK’s and Europe’s largest financier of fossil fuels. Since 2021, when the International Energy Agency concluded there could be #NoNewOil, gas or coal development if the world was to reach net zero by 2050, Barclays has invested $19.583B in fossil fuels.
Extinction Rebellion, along with other groups, are calling for Barclays to end all investment in fossil fuel expansion. In March 2020 #Greenpeace activists shut down nearly 100 Barclays branches in protest against #Barclays support for fossil fuels.

"The most important number in #finance", the London Interbank Offered Rate (#LIBOR), died a shameful death at the age of 52.
The interest rate benchmark underpinned more than $300 trillion in financial contracts before being marred in a scandal that lasted ~ a decade.

2/ The scandal came into the limelight in 2008 but there is evidence that collusion between banks was going on since 2003.

#Barclays avoided nearly £2BILLION in tax via an arrangement in tax haven Luxembourg: it paid less than 1% on profits since 2009, when it booked profits from the $15bn sale of a fund management business there rather than the UK.

Barclays employs only 54 staff in Luxembourg, but it is currently the bank’s third most profitable jurisdiction behind the US & UK, with turnover of £1.1bn last year. Low staff costs mean Barclays can turn nearly all of that income from corporate & investment banking into profit.
The bank has 46,000 staff in the UK & nearly 10,000 in the US. Cumulatively, Barclays’ Luxembourg operations have made £6.6bn in profits since 2013, according to annual tax documents.
Thanks to the generous tax arrangement, it has paid just £46m on those earnings, or about 1%.

Ihr denkt, die #Grunen sind die Anti-Lobbyismus-Partei in #Deutschland? Leider falsch gedacht. Die Partei, die sich sonst gerne kritisch gegenüber #Lobbyismus zeigt, war und ist selbst auf vielen Ebenen mit ihm verstrickt, wie die folgenden Beispiele zeigen. /PN
Eveline #Lemke war Umweltministerin in #RLP. Nach nur einem Jahr wechselte sie in den #Aufsichtsrat einer Windkraftfirma. Als Ministerin förderte sie massiv den Bau von Windkraftanlagen. Hat der spätere Beruf die politischen Entscheidungen beeinflusst? /PN de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eveline_L…

Brooklyn gathers for justice. Bus drivers honking, passersby cheering, neighbors w/ children who are leading these calls for #JusticeForGeorge & no more #NYPD abuses.
Brooklyn taking a knee for all black lives lost to racist violence. #BlackLivesMatter
This is my neighborhood & many of us showed up tonight at #Barclays for the life & dignity of #GeorgeFloyd & solidarity w/ #BlackLiveMatter. Massive #NYPD presence & vastly peaceful crowd. 1/
We came home puzzled at what happened & I'm hearing ppl outside on the street making sense of it. #NYPD deployed mace & the air smelled of it. Someone burned a sign. Someone else set off a fireworks popper. But this was not character of the crowd gathered. 2/
The crowd I witnessed outside #Barclays looked like my neighborhood. Diverse, calm, helping each other, holding signs expressing anger at black lives needlessly taken. People handing out food. 3/
