Iceland to pass chair of Arctic Council to Russia

Iceland spent its two years as chair of the Arctic Council with a focus on sustainability in marine life, climate and green energy, and a stronger council for Arctic communities. This week, their term as chair comes to an end and will be passed to the Russian following their bi-annual meeting, the 12th Arctic Council Ministerial Meetings kick off in Reykjavik, Iceland, this week. There will be briefings on the effects of climate change on the Arctic, the future of shipping in the Arctic, human health and what we can learn from Arctic and Indigenous peoples when looking to the future. Delegates and representatives from all eight Arctic states and six Indigenous groups will sum up all the work Iceland has completed between 2019 and 2021. This is also the 25th anniversary of the Arctic Council and ministers are expected to sign the council's first ever strategic plan.

Deutsche Bank Picks U.S. General Counsel to Head Anti-Financial Crime Unit

 

Deutsche Bank AG has appointed its U.S. general counsel to head its global anti-financial crime unit, according to a memo to employees released Tuesday.

 

Joe Salama will split his time between the bankโ€™s headquarters in Frankfurt and the U.S., part of the bankโ€™s efforts to keep a close relationship with U.S. authorities following a series of investigations and fines.

 

Mr. Salama has been responsible for negotiating recent settlements between the bank and U.S. authorities, including over failings to properly monitor its dealings with late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He has also been a key contact for outside monitors checking implementation of money-laundering controls and for regulators around the world, according to the memo.

 

He joined Deutsche Bank in 2010 as a senior U.S. counsel. He is replacing Stephan Wilken, who took over the job in 2018. Mr. Wilken will remain at the bank.

China extends South Pacific reach by funding runway project

 

China will provide financial assistance to upgrade an airstrip in the South Pacific island nation of Kiribati, Nikkei has learned, at a site once used during wartime by the U.S.

 

The runway renovation on Kanton, a remote island near the equator, is part of a plan by Kiribati to develop the isle into a high-end resort, according to a statement provided by a Kiribati press officer. The airstrip will be used solely for civilian purposes, and the project carries no military aspects, the statement said. Beijing initially will provide money for a feasibility study of the renovation. The amount of aid has not been disclosed.

 

Kiribati, located 3,000 km southwest of Hawaii, is home to just 120,000 people. Yet the country oversees one of the world's most expansive exclusive economic zones, covering roughly 3.6 million sq. kilometers. The nation occupies a strategic position in the sea lanes connecting the U.S. and Australia. The Marshall Islands, to Kiribati's immediate north, hosts a U.S. military site for missile tests on Kwajalein Atoll. In September 2019, Kiribati ended diplomatic ties with Taiwan dating to 2003 and formally switched to mainland China. President Taneti Maamau visited Beijing in January 2020 and signed a document on cooperation involving China's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative. The airstrip renovation appears to be connected to the agreement.

 

Kanton was used as a launch point for bombing raids by American planes during World War II, according to Reuters. "Several U.S. territories such as Jarvis and other islands" are near Kanton, said Hideyuki Shiozawa, a senior program officer at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation who is an expert on the region. China "is conscious of the U.S." in offering the assistance, Shiozawa said. Kiribati had held diplomatic ties with Beijing before establishing formal relations with Taiwan. In the late 1990s, China built a space tracking station in the Kiribati capital of Tarawa that was used until 2003. Though the station reportedly was used for civilian purposes, some suspected the site also provided monitoring of the Kwajalein base. When Lu Kang, a senior Chinese diplomat, was asked in January 2020 whether the facility would be reopened, he did not deny that prospect. "A lot of ideas, a lot of initiatives for joint ventures are still on the way," said Lu, according to Reuters.

 

South Pacific island nations have strong restrictions against entry by foreigners due to the coronavirus, but many think Chinese activity in the region will grow once the pandemic passes. China is expanding its influence in the South Pacific through development assistance. In 2019, the Solomon Islands also cut formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan and pivoted toward Beijing. A Chinese enterprise reportedly plans to build an industrial fisheries park in Papua New Guinea, an island nation 200 km from Australia.

 

If a South Pacific island develops an installation that could be used by China for military purposes, Beijing could be in better position to scrutinize movements by the U.S. and Australian militaries. Washington and Canberra are increasingly vigilant. Australia said in April that it will upgrade bases in the Northern Territory used for joint military exercises with the U.S.

Dollar slides to 2-1/2 month low as Fed rate hike fears subside

 

The dollar dipped on Tuesday for the fourth straight session, reaching its lowest level against a basket of currencies since late February on waning fears that inflation spikes could prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates sooner than anticipated. U.S. Treasury yields stalled as investors grew more confident that the Fed will hold off on tightening its accommodative monetary policy, despite worrisome indicators that booming demand and scarce supply are sending prices soaring.

 

Those price increases have stoked fears of longer-term inflation, despite the central bankโ€™s assurances that the spikes will be transitory. Several Fed policymakers are expected to speak this week and the U.S. central bank is due to release the minutes from its April policy meeting on Wednesday, all of which will be parsed for any signs of a shift in its economic outlook.
