โ€œWe do think itโ€™s more important to get it right than to be first and getting it right means that we not only look at the potential benefits of a CBDC, but also the potential risks, and also recognize the important trade-offs that have to be thought through carefully,โ€ Powell said in a panel discussion on digital payments hosted by the International Monetary Fund.

The economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic is expected to bring about the largest contraction in the past 20 years for most countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the International Monetary Fund said on Monday, with some fragile states in the region at higher risk of mounting social unrest due to COVID-19 disruptions.

 

In the October update to its Regional Outlook covering the Middle East and Central Asia, the IMF revised its economic forecasts for the MENA countries slightly upward, with an expected contraction of 5 percent overall this year โ€“ slightly better than the 5.7 percent hit the Fund had forecast in July.

Lebanon announced on Monday the names of its delegation that will hold indirect talks later this week with Israel over the disputed maritime border between the two countries

 

The announcement by President Michel Aounโ€™s office comes two weeks after Lebanon and Israel reached an agreement on a framework for the U.S.-mediated talks. The talks are scheduled to begin Wednesday at the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in the southern Lebanese border town of Naqoura.

 

Israel and Lebanon have no diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war. They each claim about 860 square kilometers (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea as within their own exclusive economic zones.
