Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve has made "quite a bit of progress" in its fight against rising prices and could hit its inflation target as soon as next year, Fed chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday. The US central bank has hiked interest rates to a 23-year high as it looks to restrict monetary policy enough to bring inflation back down to its long-term two percent target without doing too much damage to either the labor market or the broader economy. Since it started hiking rates in 2022, the Fed has brought inflation back down from a multi-decade high to an annual rate of 2.6 percent...

He made the comments in an interview with CNBC. The fintech giant's journey to secure a UK banking licence began in January 2021 but, since then, it has faced a series of obstacles and delays.

El objetivo, según han detallado desde Bruselas, no es otro que garantizar que el sistema monetario siga siendo seguro al crear una moneda pública independiente de los bancos privados en un contexto en el que el efectivo ha perdido fuerza. Así, según se desprende del info...

The EU's Commissioner for financial services today (25 June) berated member states for rowing back on plans to stop taxpayer bailouts for crisis-hit banks. A redraft of financial services laws unveiled last week by the EU’s Council, which represents member governments, adds needless complexity, Mairead McGuinness told an event hosted by the Bruegel think tank. “The Council amendments would not increase financial stability, would not level the playing field, would not improve depositor protection, and would not reduce the use of taxpayers’ money,” McGuinness said, of a legislative redraft produ...

The U.S. State and Treasury departments issued what they called a "sweeping" set of sanctions against Russia and its financial backers on June 12, in the latest move to try and degrade Moscow's wartime economy. Western countries have imposed extensive economic restrictions against Moscow over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, seeking to curb its state revenue and prevent it from obtaining key technologies needed for the war effort. More than two years into its war, it is unclear if the measures have had their desired effect. Russia has increasingly mobilized its economy to support its war, a...
