Brazil intends to sell yuan bonds in China every year rather than once, a senior Brazilian treasury official said on Wednesday, in a plan that would make the Chinese currency a permanent fixture of its external debt. The debut is expected before the end of the year and is small enough that the government is not relying on the proceeds, with external debt at four per cent of the federal stock. Francisco Segundo, deputy secretary for public debt at the National Treasury, told a webinar hosted by...

In recent years, Brazil has seen changes in the export routes used for gold extracted illegally from its territory. Until 2022, the metal was shipped clandestinely from ports in the states of Pará and São Paulo directly to markets such as the United States and Europe. As enforcement intensified, criminal networks increasingly began using neighboring South American countries as transit hubs to launder the gold by concealing its illegal origin before re-exporting it to other continents.

Don’t believe the Kremlin. It claims that from 2020 to 2024, the Russian economy grew by 13%. Instead, believe the lights Russians leave on at night. They reveal the country’s GDP actually shrank by 8% over that period. So says Sweden’s foreign minister Maria Malmer Stenergard in a New York Times op-ed . Stenergard wasn’t entirely guessing. Sweden’s intelligence services arrived at that figure by measuring nighttime luminosity, an increasingly mature and rigorous branch of economic geography. Because unlike the Kremlin, night lights don’t lie. Artificial light at night ( ALAN ) provides…

Durante años, Silicon Valley nos acostumbró a una imagen muy concreta: una pequeña startup, un equipo brillante, una ronda de inversión y la promesa de cambiar el mundo desde una oficina improvisada.

Pero la carrera de la inteligencia artificial está dejando una escena bastante menos romántica. El dinero sigue ahí, y en cantidades enormes, solo que cada vez parece moverse menos hacia el garaje y más hacia compañías con escala, reputación y una capacidad…
