Potato will visit NRE, make a few comments..then back to hiding in DC
Joe Biden will land in Denver on Tuesday to meet with officials to discuss the climate provisions in his plans that include tax incentives for clean energy and electric vehicles, investments to transition the economy away from fossil fuels and toward renewable sources such as wind and solar power, and creation of a civilian climate corps. The president is expected to continue to plug his economic agenda in his visit to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The topic of discussion will focus on how his bipartisan infrastructure deal and Build Back Better Agenda will help the climate crisis, modernize infrastructure, and strengthen the country’s resilience while improving environmental justice.

Ukraine expects next IMF tranche of $750 mln in December, PM says
Ukraine expects to receive the next tranche of assistance worth $750 million from the International Monetary Fund in December, and 600 million euros from the European Union in November, Prime Minister Denys Shmygal told a news conference on Tuesday.
Shmygal said Ukraine had fulfilled all the IMF's conditions under the current assistance programme, adding that an IMF mission is expected in Ukraine from Saturday for talks. Ukraine signed a $5 billion IMF programme last year but the loans were effectively frozen over concerns about reforms. "This mission will actually be the final one in preparation for the issuance of the next tranche - we have fulfilled all the conditions, all the benchmarks that were spelled out in the memorandum with the IMF," Shmygal said. "Therefore, we expect a positive completion of this mission and expect that approximately in December, late November - early December - this is the date when the IMF tranche is possible," he added. The IMF said it would restart its review mission in September, but declined to confirm any specific date. "As the Managing Director said earlier this summer, the mission will be working with the Ukrainian authorities on the remaining issues where agreement is needed to complete the review," a spokesperson said.
One of Europe's poorest countries, Ukraine tumbled into recession due to the pandemic last year. Under the IMF programme, Ukraine received $2.1 billion last year but failed to secure more assistance, and repeatedly revised its own estimates of when another tranche would be disbursed. Shmygal also said the government had a normal working relationship with the central bank and that the central bank's decisions were "well-grounded."
The central bank last week raised interest rates for the fourth time this year to tackle double digit inflation. The previous central bank governor had resigned last year complaining of political meddling.

Mexican government buys $7 bln from central bank reserves
Mexico’s government has bought $7 billion from the country’s central bank reserves of U.S. dollars, according to a statement from the Bank of Mexico on Tuesday. The dollar purchase from the bank, known locally as Banxico, was part of its weekly account report dated Sept. 10.
Banxico attributed a recent dip in its reserves, down from a recent record of some $205 billion, to the government’s $7 billion purchase. The finance ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how it expects to use the new dollar infusion. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador previously proposed that the reserves be used for early retirement of debt, much of it denominated in the U.S. currency. The president has also hinted he might try to use funds from the recent allocation to Mexico of over $12 billion in so-called special drawing rights from the International Monetary Fund to pay down debt.
The federal government’s total external debt as of July stood at about $116 billion, according to official data.
