Cabo Verde: Loans covered by moratorium fall 60 pct in H1
The credit covered by the moratorium regime in Cabo Verde, to mitigate the consequences of the economic crisis caused by Covid-19, fell nearly 60% in the first half, to €98.5 million, according to the central bank. According to data from a recent report by the Bank of Cabo Verde (BCV) with economic and financial indicators Lusa saw on Tuesday, the volume of credit covered by this scheme fell by almost 15.98 billion escudos (€144.1 million) in six months, to around 10.92 billion escudos (€98.5 million) on 30 June. The volume still covered by the moratorium regime – which has been limited to only some economic sectors and under more restricted conditions since the end of March – represents, according to the central bank, “around 8% of the aggregate credit to the economy and local governments,” and was reduced by 59.4% in the first six months of this year. The government approved an extension of the moratorium on bank credit for a further six months, until 30 September of this year, but which only applies to the repayment of capital and essentially to companies linked to the tourism sector.
Almost 20% of credit granted by banks in Cabo Verde was covered at the end of 2021 by the moratorium regime, according to previous data from the central bank. A total of 1,760 entities benefited then, compared to 2,100 at the end of 2020, while the number of covered contracts fell from 2,717 to 2,306 in that same period. The volume of credit under the moratorium regime in Cabo Verde stood at almost 25.68 billion escudos (€233 million) at the end of 2021, representing 19.4% of the credit to the economy and local governments, when on 31 December 2020 it was 21.6%. Meanwhile, the BCV has also extended the prudential measures for the banking sector, launched in 2020 to mitigate the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, until September 2022, the institution announced earlier. “In line with the measure to extend public moratoria, exclusively on capital, the Bank of Cabo Verde has decided to maintain the prudential measures currently in place until September 2022”, said a statement dated 5 April, signed by BCV governor Óscar Santos. Regarding banks’ capital requirements, “maintaining the total capital adequacy ratio at a minimum level of 10%,” the statement added at the time. “It should be noted that maintaining this measure represents a greater margin for banks to continue financing viable projects and contribute to the recovery of the national economy,” it said.
The Cabo Verdean banking system currently has eight commercial banks. “This new supplementary extension package and which is in force for six months, only concerns the suspension of capital repayments,” the deputy prime minister and minister of finance, Olavo Correia, announced on 1 April on the approval of the measure in the cabinet the previous day, just as the previous extension period of the moratorium ended, as a measure to mitigate the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The government continues to go to the limit of the possibilities of the state of Cabo Verde to protect the national business fabric, despite the complexity of the current scenario,” he added.
According to Olavo Correia, this extension of the moratorium on bank loans – first approved in March 2020 due to the pandemic and successively extended – will cover companies whose main activity is in the area of “air transport, storage and auxiliary activities of air transport, accommodation, catering, drinking establishments, real estate, travel agency, tour operators and other reservation activities.”
Companies whose main activity “is in other areas unequivocally related to tourism” and which can prove a reduction in turnover of at least 25%, in December 2021, compared to December 2019, are also eligible for this new moratorium period for the repayment of capital. It also covers companies in the area of collection, treatment and distribution of water and energy, in this case, “applicable only to the islands of Sal and Boavista. Cabo Verde has been facing a deep economic and financial crisis stemming from the sharp drop in tourism demand – a sector that guaranteed 25% of the archipelago’s GDP – since March 2020 due to restrictions imposed to control the Covid-19 pandemic. The country recorded a historic economic recession in 2020, equivalent to 14.8% of GDP, and economic growth of 7% in 2021, driven by the recovery of tourism demand in the fourth quarter.

Japan PM Kishida tests positive for COVID, cancels Tunisia trip
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to cancel a planned trip to Tunisia to attend a key conference on African development, a person close to him said on Sunday.
Kishida, who has just returned from a week-long vacation, will work from his residence from Monday and will join the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) online, the source said, asking not to be identified because he is not authorized to talk to the media. The prime minister developed a cough and fever on Saturday and took a PCR test on Sunday morning, which confirmed the positive result in the afternoon, a Cabinet Office spokesperson said separately.
The eighth TICAD and the first since 2019 is being co-hosted with the United Nations, the World Bank, and the African Union Commission. Among discussion on measures to bolster development, the gathering will look at ways to help the continent tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Kishida's infection comes as Japan experiences a record resurgence in coronavirus cases through July and August, hitting businesses in the world's third-biggest economy, although deaths remain relatively low and the disruptions have been milder than in some other advanced economies. Japan's economy grew an annualized 2.2% in the second quarter, a slower-than-expected rebound from a COVID-induced slump as uncertainty remains over whether consumption can bolster a fragile recovery.

Germany’s Olaf Scholz coming to Canada to sign energy deal
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s visit to Canada comes during a crucial moment for Germany’s energy future amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, allowing Canada an opportunity to help while boosting its own economy. The centerpiece of the visit — the signing of a months-in-the-making green energy agreement in Newfoundland with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday — will make Germany the first customer of a planned hydrogen production and export facility, the first of its kind in Canada. While that first shipment is likely years away, the deal will mark a new phase in the relationship between the longtime allies.

On heels of Biden visit, China's Xi expected to visit Saudi Arabia soon
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The controversial photo of the awkward fist bump between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and President Biden last month stirred a wide range of reaction across the globe.
Only a few weeks before Biden's visit, it was announced Chinese President Xi Jinping was also looking to visit the kingdom.
According to regional analysts, this points to a clear message: The world order has changed, and Beijing is watching closely and has slowly been moving in on regional U.S. ally Saudi Arabia.
"America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is critical to maintaining stability in the Middle East," Gordon Chang, an expert on China and a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, told Fox News Digital. "The Biden administration, however, has adopted policies that seem designed to alienate the kingdom, thereby driving Riyadh into the hands of Beijing."
The Chinese leader is expected to arrive in the coming months, according to Chinese sources. His visit will come at a time of strengthening relationships with Saudi Arabia on multiple fronts, including oil and energy products and growing military sales.
"Saudi Arabia views China as a future strategic partner, weaving strong relations with the kingdom in the most important sectors, such as the energy sector, military aspects and economic investments in both the medium and long run," Salem Al-Yami told Fox News Digital. Al-Yami is a former advisor to the Saudi foreign ministry.
The China-Saudi military alliance is a growing one. Between 2016 and 2020, Chinese arms transfers to Saudi Arabia increased 386%, according to a report by the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. Despite the growing interest in military cooperation, it's expected energy will be on top of Xi's agenda with China being Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil importer. This also coincides with what some observers say was a failed attempt by Biden to secure an oil deal with the Kingdom in order to lower inflation and gas prices in the U.S.
Xi's expected visit to the world's top oil exporter comes amid turmoil in global energy markets as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Russia facing international sanctions on its energy trade. Beijing and Riyadh already have significant trading connections, and the two nations are even reportedly exploring the negotiation of oil sales in China's currency, the Yuan, rather than dollars.
Reuters reported that Russia overtook Saudi Arabia last month for the second month in a row as China's top oil supplier, yet China continues to be its best customer for the product.Earlier this month, Saudi oil giant Aramco and China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate within Saudi Arabia. They agreed to collaborate on issues relating to the oil industry as well as carbon capture and the development of hydrogen as an energy source. They will also talk about establishing a manufacturing hub in the King Salman Energy Park in eastern Saudi Arabia, according to Aramco. According to Saudi customs data, Saudi Arabia maintained its top ranking in Chinese oil supplies in 2021, with supplies up 3.1% over 2020, and it expanded its share to 17% of overall Chinese imports.
Additionally, figures from the Saudi General Administration of Customs showed that China imported 87.58 million tonnes of crude oil from the kingdom, or 1.75 million barrels per day.
Saudi-Chinese relations have been on the upswing for several years with Saudi Arabia being China's top commercial partner in the region in 2020 and imports and exports totaling more than $67 billion. The two nations are collaborating on renewable energy, finance and infrastructure initiatives, as well as armaments manufacture.

Yen Weakness Returns Ahead of Jackson Hole With 140 Back in Play
The resurgent dollar is threatening to snuff out the nascent rally in the yen, just as speculators had given up on betting against the Japanese currency.
The greenback jumped almost 3% against the yen last week, helped by a spike in Treasury yields as traders readied for hawkish Federal Reserve commentary at their upcoming Jackson Hole symposium. The strength was broad based as the US currency surged against all Group-of-10 peers, but it has put dollar-yen back on track for a push toward the closely-watched 140 level.
Renewed strength in the greenback comes just as currency traders were leaning toward the view that the worst of this year’s losses for the yen were behind it. The currency had been pummeled by a widening US-Japan interest-rate gap, soaring oil prices and a weakening of its haven status but mounted a recovery from mid-July as hedge funds covered short positions. Leveraged investors have slashed their net-bearish yen wagers to the least since March 2021, according to the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
While further strength in the greenback could reignite what had been one of the hottest macro trades of the year, for now yen watchers see any retreat as temporary. But a push past 140 per dollar would renew pressure on the Bank of Japan over its super-easy monetary policy and on the government to intervene. “The dollar-yen may approach the year-high 139.39 as markets price in a hawkish Powell speech,” wrote Masafumi Yamamoto, chief currency strategist at Mizuho Securities in Tokyo in a note Monday. “But given that the dollar appears to be rising faster in light of US yields, the pair may also be prone to fall after his speech as markets have factored in the hawkishness.”
Dollar-yen traded around the 137.30 level Monday, up 0.2%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to reiterate the central bank’s resolve to keep raising rates to contain inflation in his speech Friday, snuffing out speculation for a rate cut next year. (liar,liar pants on fiyah) “The dollar may be supported leading up to Jackson Hole on expectations for a hawkish Fed with the range for dollar-yen seen between 134 and 139,” said Shinsuke Kajita, chief strategist at Resona Holdings in Tokyo. “But the pair may become top-heavy as the dollar’s appreciation also has a risk-aversion element which could be reflected in yen strength.”

looked at it..solid answers for people looking for that..don't sell yourself short, you noes what going on and really always have the terms have changed a bit but once you know..you know.
>after faint yesterday cautious
good luck on that hopefully they don't decide to go walkabout when you not looking.
kek
naww just observations
ain't sayin' what to buy or sell (and never have) like a certain 'emergency broadcast' poster we noes do
Hate seeing peeps gettin' fleeced through no fault of there own-when it's habbened to you and it has a few times and learned from it-one of the reasons I don't do it any more as it got stoopid you get tired of participating in a rigged casino-at least I could get drinks and cigarettes at the casino (when they used to give those out) pretty sure they stopped giving out the ciggies a while ago but I do member them doing it.
Here we go again...Europe's problems brought to us (price-wise) so be prepared for this to stay that way until the system stops shipping it off at these record high prices-it got curtailed a bit when the Freeport Terminal got taken off-line but started right back up again...and they took out another one in Oklahoma not soon after the Freeport one had a restart estimation
US NatGas Hits 14-Year-High, EU Benchmarks Explode Higher
US natural gas futures surged to a new 14-year high this morning as European prices spiked on Russia’s move to shut a major pipeline (for "planned maintenance"), sparking increased fears that demand for American exports of the heating and power-plant fuel will soar when Freeport's LNG Terminal comes back online in October. Additionally, the next few months of the US NatGas curve are in contango with November 2022, December 2022, and January 2023 all traded above $10 this morning..(contango= futures prices are higher than spot prices as they expect it all to continue..habbens in Oil all the time and is the most susceptible to this habbening due to it's size-see cap#3) In Europe, benchmark gas futures rose as much as 20% to new record highs driving electricity prices to fresh records, topping EUR700/mWh for the first time ever. As Bloomberg reports, the key Nord Stream pipeline will stop for three days of maintenance on Aug. 31, again raising concerns that the conduit won’t restart as planned after the work.
“Whether the reasoning is true or not, the outcome drives a European gas market that tightens further, and one that is left reliant on demand curtailments to find itself in balance,” said Biraj Borkhataria, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets. “The market may disregard Gazprom’s comments and start to consider whether the pipeline may not return to service, or at the very least may be delayed for any given reason.” (they planned the service-what part of this is so difficult to understand?? but they use it to spike prices and say "oh it may NOT come back")
(and you've got German PM Olaf Scholz and the Siemans Executives in Montreal -where those turbines are serviced-setting up moar games with them in the future for sure >>146627 but hey let's sign an agreement for shit that doesn't exist so we can phot-op the shit outta it)
European authorities have repeatedly warned of the possibility of a total shutdown of Russia supplies as Moscow retaliates for sanctions imposed because of its invasion of Ukraine. “The catastrophe is already there,” Thierry Bros, a professor in international energy at Sciences Po in Paris, said. “I think the major question is when EU leaders are going to wake up.” (can only use the 'muh Ukraine thang for so long here..complete ignorance of the real issues is really staring them in the face and the public is becoming moar aware of those failures as you can only 'hide' these failures for so long--especially when it really starts to get cold) Both of which would suggest a very significant pressure for producers to transition from gas to crude as source. For now, oil prices are down on more Iran 'deal' headlines.

They also getting wholesale gasoline down again..was down a little over 3% on friday..to recap...Oil is NOT counted in the CPI #s but Gasoline is
Finally, some context for what all this means. EU NatGas is trading at an oil equivalent price of $500 per barrel and while EU NatGas is at 14 year highs (around $167 per barrel equiv), Europe's cost is triple that!!
yeah that was always muh attitude-have an amount-if you win great..if you lose that stop there but if you ate and had a good time you are way ahead-even if you had to pay for it.
The last really good one I had was a black jack experience with aces on the deal (shoe) got another one so split that-end result was I had 5 hands going on one initial deal (the aces kept coming- and won all but one-two of them doubled down -so that was like the "moment" and they got pissed when I wanted to take a picture of it as I knew no one would believe it.
Got the pic and it is on muh old phone (flip) somewhere
Haven't played much since that-those visits then turned into the Spa thing which was much moar relaxing-was never stressed with the cards cause once that 'entertainment' money was gone I stopped..no trips to the atm fer this one.
kinda like saying you were gonna send a sub into a cave that was like 3 feet wide or something like that when those kids were 'trapped' that was another reconciliation thing how that was all presented at the time..."they just got 'lost' on the way to soccer practice" or something like that-sure they did..they weren't being taken over the border to Laos or anything like that
kek!
That second set of politicians that went to Taipei also went to the human smuggling dens of Phnom Penh and Manila...like wtf you need to go there for..oh and we paid for it too.
some of them for sure like 10's or even 100's of thousands of years ago imo
I'd guess the ones in the southwest fer sure and they just added on to them
chek't
> they finding em in some drug busts too
cooking up the 'mixes' quicker
they, not necessarily that exact one/brand-make great weed killers/removers.
n'bor had a home made one werked great for that dunno what else you'd really need it for on a personal level-start a bbq/campfire quicker?
always thought when they released that it would be nuffin but trouble allowing that as a mass-marketed product with his money behind it..since everyone NEEDS one of those but it sold and he made a bunch of money and moar importantly PR
I guess that recent currency swap with the ECB din't werk so well..the one they did last week expires on Thursday >>146403 pb and of course ALL of it sperging out just in front of the Jackson Hole meeting so they can "tame it" with moar rhetoric-that comes Friday-rate expectations are cap #3 and now skewed to 50-75bp-just as predicted
Euro Drops Below 2022 Low to Mark Last Seen Two Decades Ago
Europe’s common currency fell to a new two-decade low as concern about the economic prospects for the region continue to mount.
The euro fell as much as 0.9% to 0.9951, below the prior low for 2022 of 0.9952. '''(make that
0.9934-0.0106 -1.06%)''' Following the slide, it is once again trading at levels last seen in 2002, just a few years after the currency came into existence. Europe’s economy is facing a swath of major issues right now, with the fallout from the war in Ukraine driving up energy and food costs and a severe drought adding to challenges.

yep...
a fren told me they'd stuff one down the hole WW2/Korea vet and used in Vietnam and then send the dobies down after what was left...why the ears still cut on them then so the remaining enemys left over and not burned to a crisp couldn't grab the dog and manipulate them that way.
A fren showed me this cap as never knew it existed-it's on Guam
Had some of these dogs--best in the werld imo-gentle giants when not trained to be aggro...big babies really

muh insurance is same way
"need this report..oh wait not THAT one THIS one and that is in cuneiform tablet so we'll take 30 days to convert it" not really but it's about that stoopid at this point.
lipstick on the pig here-he not wrong but..when it was already low because of all the stuff still lingering from 2008..just think if Fannie/Freddie din't buy up all those properties in the last housing crash and Blackrock/Stone din't either over last several years and everyone rushing to pull them off MLS since prices have dropped-quite a bit in muh local area too.'''
Housing Inventory August 22th Update: Growth has Slowed
Inventory is still increasing, but the inventory build has slowed over the last month. Still, inventory is increasing faster than in 2019 at this time of year. Here are the same week inventory changes for the last four years:
2022: +1.3K
2021: +9.4K
2020: -8.2K
2019: -5.6K
Inventory bottomed seasonally at the beginning of March 2022 and is now up 129% since then. More than double! Altos reports inventory is up 27.8% year-over-year and is now 26.1% above the peak last year. As of August 19th, inventory was at 551 thousand (7-day average), compared to 550 thousand the prior week. Inventory was up 0.2% from the previous week.
Inventory is still historically low. Compared to the same week in 2021, inventory is up 27.8% from 432 thousand, however compared to the same week in 2020 inventory is down 7.1% from 594 thousand. Compared to 3 years ago, inventory is down 42.6% from 960 thousand. Inventory change vs 2021, 2020 (milestone 3 above) and 2019 (milestone 4). The blue line is the year-over-year data, the red line is compared to two years ago, and dashed purple is compared to 2019.
Two years ago (in 2020) inventory was declining all year, so the two-year comparison will get easier all year. Based on the recent increases in inventory, my current estimate is inventory will be up compared to 2020 in September of this year, and it is possible inventory will be back to 2019 levels in the first half of 2023. However, if inventory growth stalls, then it might take much longer to reach normal inventory levels.
