Over the past few years, the world has experienced an escalating series of trade disruptions: the US-China trade war, the Covid-19 pandemic and its supply chain disruptions, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions and export controls that followed. Their cumulative impact has called into question the vision of a globalized economy. In response, some US officials are pushing “friend-shoring” — a happy-sounding name for a policy that would lead to a world divided between free-market democra

By financing ballooning spending with short-term debt, the government failed to lock in record-low interest rates while it could. Now the piper has come to call.

Sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and its allies failed to starve President Vladimir Putin of funding for his war in Ukraine because there were still plenty of ready buyers of Russian oil. So Putin’s adversaries spent months devising a Plan B: force Moscow to sell the oil so cheaply that its profits collapse. What isn’t clear is whether the price cap eventually agreed to in early December is low enough to really hurt Putin and whether his biggest customers, including China and India, will pl

Polio has been a cause of life-threatening paralysis for thousands of years. At the height of the biggest-ever outbreak, in 1952, almost 60,000 cases with more than 3,000 deaths were reported in the US alone. A decades-long push to increase immunizations and access to clean water has meant that mass outbreaks, with hospital wards filled with children kept alive in iron lungs, are a distant memory. But while polio was brought to the brink of global eradication, it’s been bouncing back, radiating

Competition is heating up between China and the US in the southern Pacific, with each seeking to build influence among island nations that haven’t received much superpower attention since World War II.

That prompted a flurry of diplomacy and pledges of aid and coope

The world is changing its entire system for producing and using energy, and it’s a bumpy ride. The “energy transition” now underway will replace the very base of the global economy — fossil fuels — with clean power sources that don’t warm the climate, such as solar and wind.

And while the transition has created investment and jobs worldwide, it has delivered shocks as well. European electricity pr

An unparalleled era of easy money came to a screeching halt in 2022, as central banks shifted gears to fight inflation. The US Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate from near zero to 4% in a mere six months. Companies, countries and consumers that had borrowed heavily when doing so was cheap now faced new strains, just as banks rediscovered caution in lending. This sudden tightening of credit conditions not only increased the risks of recession and defaults but raised worries about financial

Pegged to the US dollar since 1983, the Hong Kong dollar is usually a dull currency. Except when it isn’t, like this year. When the US Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in March to combat historically high inflation, fund outflows from the Hong Kong dollar market intensified as investors chased higher yields. Consequently, interbank liquidity -- the pool of Hong Kong dollars in the system -- shrank rapidly as the city fought to maintain the peg, drawing market attention and concern ab

Elon Musk’s plans to turn Twitter Inc. into a free speech haven could run into its biggest political obstacles in the European Union, where he has to contend with its new Digital Services Act, which forces companies to take down illegal content.
