    “The Amur region is the territory of the largest infrastructure projects. To attract investments, the Amur Region is one of the leading regions. Among the largest investment projects of the region are the construction of a logistics complex, a gas -chemical cluster, an international bridge across the Amur, a cross -border cable car and modern infrastructure facilities.

    The main color accent in the design of the Amur pavilion is red, since this color is present in the national flags of both countries – the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. The facade of the building is made of red perforated panels, on which you can read individual words and phrases about the achievements of the Amur Region.

    “The Eastern Economic Forum is the key event of the year for us. This unique venue allows us to conclude dozens of profitable agreements, agree on the implementation of promising investment projects in the region, and outline new directions for the region’s development. And the regional pavilion on Far East Street plays a huge role in attracting new investors, partners, and tourists. It should present all the region’s achievements, its prospects, and key projects in various fields in the most visual way possible. When developing the expositions, we try to introduce new details every year, using the most modern means, infographics, and multimedia,” said Vasily Orlov, Governor of the Amur Region.

    The first floor of the Amur Region pavilion is dedicated to Russian-Chinese cooperation. The stand will present existing and prospective joint projects. Among them are the Golden Mile, an international automobile bridge and a cross-border cable car. Guests of the pavilion will be able to learn about key Russian-Chinese cultural, sports and economic events that have taken place over the past ten years. The work of the competence center created under the President’s instructions will also be shown.

    The second floor of the region’s exposition is designed as a chemical laboratory, with an emphasis on polymer processing and products obtained from them. The walls will display information about the anchor projects of the region’s gas chemical industry – the Amur Gas Chemical Plant and the Amur Gas Chemical Complex. The third floor will traditionally become a meeting place for representatives of the region with partners and potential investors, a negotiation area and signing of agreements.

    In addition, in a separate pavilion “Made in Amur Region”, visitors to the exhibition will be able to purchase kvass, honey, dried fruits, snacks, sausages and confectionery, green tea, as well as souvenirs from Amur craftsmen. The adjacent territory will house a tourist zone with a geodome “Tourism in Amur Region”. At the site, representatives of the Hospitality Agency of Amur Region will talk about the tourism potential of the region in an interactive space.

    In honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a thematic interactive stand will be installed near the regional pavilion. The exhibition will include unique historical materials, photographs, veterans’ memories and interactive elements allowing visitors to delve deeper into the events of those years. Also this year, a concert stage will return to the territory of the Amur Region pavilion.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Financial news: The Bank of Russia is improving approaches to calculating standards.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Central Bank of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    From August 18, 2025, banks will begin calculating capital adequacy standards according to new instructions from the Bank of Russia No. 220-I And No. 221-I.

    The new rules imply the transition of all banks with a universal license to a finalized (more risk-sensitive) approach to calculating capital adequacy standards. The standard approach will be retained for banks with a basic license and non-bank credit institutions.

    Other important changes include:

    — the criteria for classifying borrowers as investment grade have been improved (in particular, a condition has been added for having a credit rating of at least “A”), to which a reduced risk weight is applied;

    — differentiated risk weights have been introduced for loans to subjects and municipalities of Russia depending on the level of credit rating from Russian rating agencies, and in its absence, on the level of debt sustainability as assessed by the Ministry of Finance of Russia (in the future, it is planned to completely switch to credit ratings);

    — risk weights for mortgage loans at the construction stage are equal to those used for mortgages on completed housing, and those, in turn, are calibrated based on default statistics;

    — when calculating macroprudential premiums, a single multiplicative approach will be applied both for banks using approaches to risk assessment based on internal ratings and for other banks;

    — further important steps have been taken to address the problem of credit concentration: firstly, under repo transactions the risk will be considered to be on the issuer of securities accepted as collateral if the borrower’s rating is below “AA”; secondly, banks will be able to transfer the concentration risk from the borrower to a reliable guarantor/surety/issuer of securities accepted as collateral.

    The changes will help to more accurately assess risks, will help to level the playing field for competition, and will also support balanced growth in lending to the economy.

    To make it easier for banks to adapt to the new regulations, some of the innovations will only apply to new loans, that is, those issued after August 18, 2025.

  • MIL-OSI: Hyperscale Data Announces Preliminary Q2 2025 Revenue of $25.8 Million, Up 45% Year-over-Year

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced preliminary revenue of $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, a 45% increase compared to $17.8 million in the prior-year period. Preliminary revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $50.8 million. The Company reaffirms the revenue guidance for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 of $125 to $135 million.

    Strategic Business Highlights and Growth Drivers:

    • Accelerating Revenue Momentum – Growth in the second quarter was led by commercial lending and trading activity through Ault Lending, LLC, greater demand for TurnOnGreen, Inc.’s electronic power solutions and improved performance by the hotel assets held by Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc.
    • Strengthened Balance Sheet – The Company has reduced debt by over $20 million year-to-date, enhancing liquidity as Hyperscale Data prepares to advance the development of its 617,000 square-foot facility in Michigan that the Company believes will become a premier artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center.
    • High-Margin Software Expansion – Ongoing development of blockchain infrastructure, tokenization platforms and decentralized applications is anticipated to generate recurring, high-margin revenue beginning in late 2025.
    • Scaling Digital Asset Mining Infrastructure – Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) recently entered a hosting agreement with a Montana-based service provider to expand mining operations and infrastructure access.
    • Fintech Recovery Underway – Fintech platforms rebounded in the second quarter of 2025 after a challenging 2024, with new AI-powered features under development for future lending and trading applications.
    • Reconsolidation of Gresham Worldwide – Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“Gresham Worldwide”) is expected to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings as a subsidiary of the Company by October 1, 2025, at which point Hyperscale Data anticipates reconsolidating its financial results. Gresham Worldwide is projected to contribute approximately $10 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025. If the reconsolidation of Gresham Worldwide had occurred on January 1, 2025, on a pro forma basis, a non-GAAP financial measure, this reconsolidation would have been expected to increase the Company’s annualized revenue for 2025 by approximately $40 million.

    Assuming that the anticipated reconsolidation occurs on or before October 1, 2025, Hyperscale Data expects its full-year 2025 GAAP basis revenue guidance to be within the range of $125 million to $135 million. The table below presents a non-GAAP pro forma view of Hyperscale Data’s potential 2025 revenue, assuming Gresham had been consolidated as of January 1, 2025:

    Revenue Guidance Low End High End
    Revenue guidance $ 115,000,000 $ 125,000,000
    Pro forma annualized contribution from Gresham Worldwide   40,000,000   40,000,000
    Pro forma total revenue $ 155,000,000 $ 165,000,000
             

    “This quarter reflects the importance of strategic focus,” said William B. Horne, CEO of Hyperscale Data. “We are growing revenue, reducing debt and building a foundation for scalable, high-margin software to become a core pillar of our business. Gresham Worldwide’s return is expected to significantly enhance our revenue profile going forward.”

    The revenue figures reported are preliminary and unaudited. Final results will be included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 20, 2025, which is expected to be filed with the SEC on or before the required deadline.

The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    IRVINE, Calif., July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global leader in compute and connectivity IoT solutions enabling Edge AI Intelligence, today launched its new NTC-500 Series rugged industrial-grade 5G router, designed to transform the economics of enterprise mobility and connectivity. This NTC-500 Series product launch is a direct result of Lantronix’s acquisition of NetComm Wireless, validating Lantronix’s strategic investment as well as underscoring its global position as a provider of cutting-edge connectivity solutions for enterprise and industrial IoT markets.

    The NTC-500 Series positions Lantronix to capitalize on the accelerating global shift toward wireless industrial infrastructure. With carrier certification, global approvals and a disruptive price point, the NTC-500 Series empowers enterprises to eliminate costly Ethernet infrastructure — potentially thousands of dollars per drop — while retaining the high-speed, low-latency performance traditionally associated with wired networks.

    By addressing key pain points, such as high deployment costs, long installation timelines, limited mobility and the need to support a high density of connected end points, the NTC-500 solution opens new revenue streams across private 5G, edge computing and industrial automation markets. Its flexible, future-ready design supports a wide range of use cases, enabling customers to scale efficiently while reducing total cost of ownership.

    “Lantronix has redefined the economics of industrial 5G mobility and critical connectivity,” said Daniel Quant, head of Industrial IoT Products and Business Line at Lantronix. “The NTC-500 Series delivers a rugged, globally approved and carrier-certified 5G solution at a breakthrough price point, enabling customers to scale digital transformation faster, future-proof their infrastructure investments and significantly reduce operational costs.”

    Private-5G ready, the NTC-500 Series supports the n48-CBRS band, n77 & n78 and more, enabling the rapid digitization of previously stranded or mobile assets. This unlocks new levels of automation, operational agility and productivity across enterprise and industrial segments.

    According to ABI Research’s 1Q 2025 Private Cellular Network Forecasts, the 5G market will grow from $2.7 billion in 2025 to $29 billion by 2030. Private 5G deployments in sectors such as manufacturing and healthcare are accelerating, driven by demand for advanced cellular capabilities in mission- and safety-critical applications.

    Award-Winning 5G Wireless Router

    Lantronix’s NTC-500 5G Series has not only resonated with customers and partners, but it has also earned industry-wide recognition.

  • MIL-OSI: Morien Receives Notice from Kameron to Explore Sale of Donkin Mine Interest

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Morien Resources Corp. (“Morien” or the “Company“) (TSX-V:MOX) reports that it has received notice from Kameron Collieries ULC (“Kameron”), owner and operator of the Donkin Coal Mine (the “Donkin Mine”) in Nova Scotia, of Kameron’s intent to explore a sale of its 100% ownership in the Donkin Mine.

    Under the terms of the Royalty Agreement between Morien and Kameron, Morien holds a 2-4% production royalty on coal sales from the Donkin Mine. This royalty is binding upon Kameron and successor owners of the Donkin Mine and will continue if there is a change in ownership.

    The Company understands that Kameron is in the early stages of initiating the sale process and has not yet entered into any binding sale agreement with a third party. Kameron’s parent company, The Cline Group (“Cline”), has engaged U.S.-based Perella Weinberg Partners to lead the sales process.

    Morien will publish further information on the sale process when it becomes available and as the process advances. There is no assurance that the sale process will result in a completed transaction, nor can Morien provide guidance on timing, transaction terms, or expected outcomes at this stage, or the impact of the sale process or any completed sale on the prospects for the Donkin Mine to restart operations.  

    About Morien

    Morien is a Nova Scotia based, mining development company created in 2012 to be a vehicle of direct prosperity for Nova Scotians, its largest shareholder group. Led by Nova Scotians, Morien’s primary assets are a royalty on the sale of coal from Donkin in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and a royalty on the sale of aggregate from the permitted Black Point Project, in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. Morien’s management team exercises ruthless discipline in managing both the assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company’s management and its Board of Directors consider shareholder returns to be paramount over corporate size, number or scale of assets and industry recognition. The Company has 51,292,000 issued and outstanding common shares and a fully diluted position of 53,992,000. Further information is available at www.MorienRes.com.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Some of the statements in this news release may constitute “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable securities laws. These statements reflect Morien’s current expectations of future revenues and business prospects and opportunities and are based on information currently available to Morien. Morien cautions that actual performance will be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control, and that future events and results may vary substantially from what Morien currently foresees. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties described in documents filed by Morien with the Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com) from time to time. Morien cautions that its royalty revenue will be based on production by third party property owners and operators who will be responsible for determining the manner and timing for the properties forming part of Morien’s royalty portfolio. These third party owners and operators are also subject to risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted herein including: volatility in financial markets or general economic conditions; capital requirements and the need for additional financing; fluctuations in the rates of exchange for the currencies of Canada and the United States; prices for commodities including coal and aggregate; unanticipated changes in production, mineral reserves and mineral resources, metallurgical recoveries and/or exploration results; changes in regulations and unpredictable political or economic developments; loss of key personnel; labour disputes; and ineffective title to mineral claims or property. There are other business risks and hazards associated with mineral exploration, development and mining. Although Morien believes that the forward-looking information contained herein is based on reasonable assumptions (including assumptions relating to economic, market and political conditions, the Company’s working capital requirements and the accuracy of information supplied by the operators of the properties in which the Company has a royalty interest), readers cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with such statements. Morien expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information in this news release, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. All dollar values discussed herein are in Canadian dollars. Any financial outlook or future-oriented financial information in this news release, as defined by applicable securities laws, has been approved by management of Morien as of the date of this news release. Such financial outlook or future-oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such outlook or information should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed in this news release.

    Source: European Parliament

    Question for written answer  E-002834/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Galato Alexandraki (ECR)

    This tourist season, alarming rates of legionella have been detected in the tap water of a number of tourist facilities, mainly in Crete. Legionellosis poses a serious threat to public health, especially in areas with high numbers of visitors and high temperatures, such as southern Europe. The national authorities carry out periodic checks, but questions arise as to the effectiveness of the implementation of Directive (EU) 2020/2184 on the quality of water.

    In view of the above, can the Commission say:

    • 1.Is the Commission aware of the presence of legionella in tourist facilities in Crete and of its rates of detection in water?
    • 2.Will it strengthen prevention by means of stricter checks and additional financial support to Member States for monitoring and prevention systems?
    • 3.How does it assess the adequacy of the implementation of Directive (EU) 2020/2184, and is there a single European system for recording and monitoring legionellosis in tourist areas?

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Samsung in Partnership with Ocule IT Utilise Enterprise Development Bootcamp to Drive Economic Growth & Job Creation

    Source: Samsung

    Samsung is delivering the second phase of the Enterprise Development Bootcamp, while its partner Ocule IT is participating for the first time – providing support and expertise as part of this initiative. This transformative programme designed to prepare small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) participants for investment funding, with the ultimate aim of driving economic growth and job creation.
     
    This Bootcamp which was piloted last year is a critical component of Samsung’s R280-million worth Equity Equivalent Investment Programme (EEIP) and aims to equip entrepreneurs with the essential skills and knowledge needed to meet investor requirements and effectively approach the market. It is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs with experience in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field with innovative ideas and, this also includes start-ups and established enterprises aiming to scale or overcome challenges.
     
    This bootcamp is an intensive training programme and focuses on areas that include business management, financial planning and pitching to investors; designed to empower young entrepreneurs, particularly those from underserved communities, with skills and knowledge to launch and grow their businesses. Sponsored by Samsung, this EEIP transformative initiative is prioritising alumni’s from the Ocule IT Electronics Technician/Artisan programme.
     
    This programme is part of Samsung’s broader commitment to foster SME development and digital skills development in South Africa – leveraging local talent and expertise. Importantly, it is closely aligned with the National Development Plan (NDP) and black economic empowerment goals that are designed to transform the country’s economy by empowering Black South Africans – fostering a more equitable and inclusive society.
     
    Sanele Gcumisa, Managing Member of Ocule IT explained: “The launch of this Ocule IT and Samsung Enterprise Development initiative aims to empower entrepreneurs for investment readiness. This structured support seeks to ensure that participants are fully prepared to secure the needed funding to grow their businesses. This initiative underscores Ocule IT and Samsung’s commitment to foster entrepreneurship and drive economic growth by empowering businesses with business tools to become investor-ready.”
     
    This bootcamp focuses on fostering a dynamic and collaborative environment – empowering a diverse range of participants who already have a foundation in the electronics sector, while also enhancing the programme’s relevance and effectiveness. The programme provides training in areas that are relevant to starting and scaling a business, such as business planning, marketing and financial management.
     
    In particular, the structure of the Bootcamp involves a week-long intensive training session with masterclasses and opportunities to pitch business ideas for seed funding. The programme features a comprehensive five-day boot camp which took place the week of 07 – 11 July 2025 and will now be followed by a four-month incubation process that involves intensive mentoring.
     

     
    During this period, participants will work on creating a professional data room – a critical tool that potential funders and investors use to evaluate businesses. Also, this programme will provide a direct financial contribution of R500,000 to support participants in their entrepreneurial journey and take their businesses to the next level.
     
    A highlight of the initiative is the Pitch and Polish session, scheduled for the end of October 2025, where nine out of fifteen participants will have the opportunity to win cash prizes. These top performers are then divided into three categories, each comprising an average of five participants. The top three winners in the various tiers will be selected from each category, resulting in a total of nine winners. Following the Pitch and Polish session, the nine winners will undergo three months of monitoring as they submit their business plans and financials to potential funders and investors.
     
    Nicky Beukes, Samsung South Africa EEIP Project Manager said: “For us at Samsung, this programme’s impact goes beyond mere investment – it is there to offer financial support to Electronics Technician Programme alumni as well as innovative ideas to start a business and those who already have established enterprises but require additional assistance. The Bootcamp offers a comprehensive programme designed to nurture the entrepreneurial spirit of alumni and this, allows participants to gain access to seed funding, mentorship and business development workshops.”
     
    This holistic approach ensures that participants are equipped not only with financial resources but also with the strategic insights and practical skills necessary to succeed in the competitive electronics industry. With this programme, Samsung is able to provide successful entrepreneurs with access to its supply chain, potentially creating further business opportunities.
     
    Gcumisa added: “Because effective public, private partnerships (PPPs) are crucial to both our company and Samsung, we are also in the process of engaging with the KwaZulu-Natal Growth fund and Sefda including other business partners. Also, the plan is to have additional partners presenting in October closer to the Pitch and Polish stage to give final advice. All such activities will occur in the last quarter; however, the final details will be shared in due course. For now, the focus is to ensure that learners are presented with material that they can use to prepare for the Pitch and Polish.”
     
    This valuable initiative aligns with Samsung’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, skills development and positive social impact in the country. In essence, the Samsung EEIP ED Bootcamp provides a platform for ICT entrepreneurs to gain the skills, knowledge and support they need to thrive and contribute to the South African economy.
     
    Beukes concluded: “Our commitment to sustainable development in collaboration with Ocule IT ensures that the initiative contributes to long-term positive impacts on the local community. By empowering young entrepreneurs, the programme contributes to local economic participation and creates a more inclusive and innovative society.”

The programme provides training in areas that are relevant to starting and scaling a business, such as business planning, marketing and financial management.
     
    In particular, the structure of the Bootcamp involves a week-long intensive training session with masterclasses and opportunities to pitch business ideas for seed funding. The programme features a comprehensive five-day boot camp which took place the week of 07 – 11 July 2025 and will now be followed by a four-month incubation process that involves intensive mentoring.
     

     
    During this period, participants will work on creating a professional data room – a critical tool that potential funders and investors use to evaluate businesses. Also, this programme will provide a direct financial contribution of R500,000 to support participants in their entrepreneurial journey and take their businesses to the next level.
     
    A highlight of the initiative is the Pitch and Polish session, scheduled for the end of October 2025, where nine out of fifteen participants will have the opportunity to win cash prizes. These top performers are then divided into three categories, each comprising an average of five participants. The top three winners in the various tiers will be selected from each category, resulting in a total of nine winners. Following the Pitch and Polish session, the nine winners will undergo three months of monitoring as they submit their business plans and financials to potential funders and investors.
     
    Nicky Beukes, Samsung South Africa EEIP Project Manager said: “For us at Samsung, this programme’s impact goes beyond mere investment – it is there to offer financial support to Electronics Technician Programme alumni as well as innovative ideas to start a business and those who already have established enterprises but require additional assistance. The Bootcamp offers a comprehensive programme designed to nurture the entrepreneurial spirit of alumni and this, allows participants to gain access to seed funding, mentorship and business development workshops.”
     
    This holistic approach ensures that participants are equipped not only with financial resources but also with the strategic insights and practical skills necessary to succeed in the competitive electronics industry. With this programme, Samsung is able to provide successful entrepreneurs with access to its supply chain, potentially creating further business opportunities.
     
    Gcumisa added: “Because effective public, private partnerships (PPPs) are crucial to both our company and Samsung, we are also in the process of engaging with the KwaZulu-Natal Growth fund and Sefda including other business partners. Also, the plan is to have additional partners presenting in October closer to the Pitch and Polish stage to give final advice. All such activities will occur in the last quarter; however, the final details will be shared in due course. For now, the focus is to ensure that learners are presented with material that they can use to prepare for the Pitch and Polish.”
     
    This valuable initiative aligns with Samsung’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, skills development and positive social impact in the country. In essence, the Samsung EEIP ED Bootcamp provides a platform for ICT entrepreneurs to gain the skills, knowledge and support they need to thrive and contribute to the South African economy.
     
    Beukes concluded: “Our commitment to sustainable development in collaboration with Ocule IT ensures that the initiative contributes to long-term positive impacts on the local community. By empowering young entrepreneurs, the programme contributes to local economic participation and creates a more inclusive and innovative society.”

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Pasifika secondary students explore leadership and future pathways at EIT

    Source: Eastern Institute of Technology

    6 hours ago

    Pasifika secondary students from across Hawke’s Bay came together at EIT’s Hawke’s Bay campus in Taradale for a new leadership event focused on identity, connection and pathways to tertiary education.

    The HB Pasifika Secondary School Leadership Mini Conference brought together more than 100 students from 26 schools for a day of interactive workshops, cultural affirmation and future-focused kōrero.

    Hosted by EIT’s Cultural and Learner Support, Liaison and MPTT teams in collaboration with the Pasifika Teachers Committee, the event aimed to inspire young Pasifika leaders and strengthen ties between schools and tertiary education.

    Special guest speaker Danny Toala, a professional rugby player and old boy of Hastings Boys’ High School, shared his personal journey and reflections with students. Toala has played for the Hawke’s Bay Magpies and Moana Pasifika and now plays for French Pro D2 club Oyonnax.

    Sharon Malaitai, EIT Pasifika Student Support Advisor, said the day was about giving students a sense of what learning in a tertiary environment feels like. It also helped them see themselves in that space.

    “It’s been really engaging. The day was about helping our Pasifika learners see themselves in tertiary education, having the same confidence as their ancestors to navigate through any challenges.”

    “Also allowing the students the experience of learning in a tertiary space, and that feeling of belonging and being here at EIT,” she said.

    Workshops throughout the day focused on identity and leadership, understanding how the brain works, learning about student support services and exploring available courses.

    “One workshop looked at understanding your identity, recognising the strengths and challenges that come with that and how they can help you through your educational journey,” said Sharon.

    “Another was about understanding the brain, and how to overcome some of the challenges students might be dealing with. Others focused on practical support like scholarships and financial help, and understanding what courses are available.”

    Sharon said the strength of the day lay in the connections. These included those among the students and those between the community and the institution.

    “This all started with a community connection. It’s something the Pasifika Teachers Hawke’s Bay Committee was navigating and then reached out to me for support. It shows the strength and importance of relationships and just having the students here is powerful. It’s a way of re-acknowledging what our community values are.”

    Pasifika Teachers Hawke’s Bay Committee board member Blossom Sale said the event was part of a wider effort to provide termly leadership and connection opportunities for Pasifika students across the region.

    “The whole purpose is to connect young Pasifika leaders, not only within their schools but with other schools as well,” she said. “It’s about building relationships, giving them tools and resources, and promoting education within our Pasifika communities.”

    She credited Sharon and the team at EIT for creating an experience that was not only informative but uplifting.

    “It’s been awesome seeing the students engage and also hearing that there is real support here at EIT.”

    Blossom said many Pasifika students face a difficult transition from high school to study or work.

    “We’re just trying to stand in that gap. This is about helping them see their options, whether that’s study, trades or work. And journeying with them through that process.”

    The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stood at 3.5% in the April to June period, the same as that in March to May, the Census & Statistics Department announced today.

     

    The underemployment rate remained at 1.4%.

     

    Total employment was 3,657,300, down 7,400 from March to May, while the labour force also dropped 7,000 to 3,793,500.

     

    The number of unemployed people in April to June was 136,200, about the same as that in March to May. Meanwhile, the number of underemployed people decreased 1,000 to 52,600.

     

    Secretary for Labour & Welfare Chris Sun said various industries in Hong Kong are undergoing transition and their respective unemployment rates have different trends.

     

    Looking ahead, Mr Sun explained that the trend of unemployment rate will hinge on the overall economic performance, and he elucidated that the entry of fresh graduates and school leavers during the summer may impact the overall employment situation.

     

    “Nevertheless, the continued expansion of the Hong Kong economy should provide support to the labour market,” he added.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2025

    For the second quarter of 2025, net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to $42.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

    Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.0 million, compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The $15.0 million provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from an increase in total loans held for investment (“LHI”) and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decrease in criticized loans.

    Net interest income was $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $236.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in average earning assets and earning asset yields, a decrease in average short-term borrowings and the impact of one additional day in the second quarter. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 3.35%, an increase of 16 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 4 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and LHI, mortgage finance, yields increased 49 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. Total cost of deposits was 2.65% for the second quarter of 2025, an 11 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $9.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to increases in investment banking and advisory fees and trading income, partially offset by a $1.9 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities recognized during the second quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $12.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits, related to the effect of seasonal payroll expenses that peak in the first quarter, and legal and professional expense, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2024

    Net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

    The second quarter of 2025 included a $15.0 million provision for credit losses, reflecting an increase in total LHI and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decline in criticized loans, compared to a $20.0 million provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024.

    Net interest income increased to $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $216.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in average earning assets and a decrease in funding costs, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin increased 34 basis points to 3.35% for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 44 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024 and LHI, mortgage finance yields increased 48 basis points from the second quarter of 2024. Total cost of deposits decreased 34 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $3.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trading income and other non-interest income, partially offset by the loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities mentioned above.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 increased $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and communications and technology expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    Net charge-offs of $13.0 million were recorded during the second quarter of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $9.8 million and $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively. Criticized loans totaled $637.5 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $762.9 million at March 31, 2025 and $859.7 million at June 30, 2024.

The ratio of non-accrual LHI to total LHI for the second quarter of 2025 was 0.47%, compared to 0.42% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.39% for the second quarter of 2024. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to total LHI was 1.40% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.48% and 1.44% at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

    REGULATORY RATIOS AND CAPITAL

    All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of “well capitalized” requirements as of June 30, 2025.

    GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

    The following items are non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted non-interest income, adjusted non-interest expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), adjusted diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted non-interest income to average earning assets and adjusted non-interest expense to average earning assets. These are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The table below provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

    These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for certain items, listed below, that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of its actual operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. to assist management and investors in evaluating operating results, financial strength, business performance and capital position. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. As such, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2025

    For the second quarter of 2025, net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to $42.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

    Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.0 million, compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The $15.0 million provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from an increase in total loans held for investment (“LHI”) and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decrease in criticized loans.

    Net interest income was $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $236.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in average earning assets and earning asset yields, a decrease in average short-term borrowings and the impact of one additional day in the second quarter. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 3.35%, an increase of 16 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 4 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and LHI, mortgage finance, yields increased 49 basis points from the first quarter of 2025. Total cost of deposits was 2.65% for the second quarter of 2025, an 11 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $9.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to increases in investment banking and advisory fees and trading income, partially offset by a $1.9 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities recognized during the second quarter of 2025.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $12.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits, related to the effect of seasonal payroll expenses that peak in the first quarter, and legal and professional expense, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense.

    SECOND QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2024

    Net income available to common stockholders was $73.0 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

    The second quarter of 2025 included a $15.0 million provision for credit losses, reflecting an increase in total LHI and $13.0 million in net charge-offs, partially offset by a decline in criticized loans, compared to a $20.0 million provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024.

    Net interest income increased to $253.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $216.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in average earning assets and a decrease in funding costs, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin increased 34 basis points to 3.35% for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields decreased 44 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024 and LHI, mortgage finance yields increased 48 basis points from the second quarter of 2024. Total cost of deposits decreased 34 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024.

    Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $3.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trading income and other non-interest income, partially offset by the loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities mentioned above.

    Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 increased $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and communications and technology expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    Net charge-offs of $13.0 million were recorded during the second quarter of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $9.8 million and $12.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively. Criticized loans totaled $637.5 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $762.9 million at March 31, 2025 and $859.7 million at June 30, 2024.

The ratio of non-accrual LHI to total LHI for the second quarter of 2025 was 0.47%, compared to 0.42% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.39% for the second quarter of 2024. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to total LHI was 1.40% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.48% and 1.44% at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

    REGULATORY RATIOS AND CAPITAL

    All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of “well capitalized” requirements as of June 30, 2025. CET1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios were 11.4%, 12.9%, 15.3% and 11.8%, respectively, at June 30, 2025, compared to 11.6%, 13.1%, 15.6% and 11.8%, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and 11.6%, 13.1%, 15.7% and 12.2%, respectively, at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, our ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets was 10.1%, compared to 10.0% at March 31, 2025 and 9.6% at June 30, 2024.

    GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

    The following items are non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted non-interest income, adjusted non-interest expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), adjusted diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted non-interest income to average earning assets and adjusted non-interest expense to average earning assets. These are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The table below provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

    These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for certain items, listed below, that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of its actual operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. to assist management and investors in evaluating operating results, financial strength, business performance and capital position. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. As such, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP.

  • MIL-OSI: More than 1 in 4 Canadians (27%) Say They Can’t Pay All Their Bills at a Time When Millions Face Mortgage Rate Increases – TransUnion Study  

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • 44% of Canadians surveyed say they plan to cut discretionary spending.
    • Among Canadians who said they don’t anticipate being able to pay all their bills and loans in full, 68% said it’s their credit card payments they won’t be able to make.
    • While 46% of Canadians said they were targeted by fraud in the last three months, 37% reported taking no action in response to cybersecurity concerns.
    • Over half (53%) of Gen X Canadians feel their financial situation is worse than planned, compared to only 30% of Gen Z.

    TORONTO, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Canadians continue to navigate economic uncertainty, many are adjusting their financial behaviours in response to affordability pressures and rising costs. According to TransUnion’s (NYSE: TRU) Q2 2025 Canada Consumer Pulse Study1, 51% of Canadians surveyed had a recession in their top three household financial concerns over the next six months, and nearly half of all surveyed (44%) plan to reduce discretionary spending in the next three months. Canadians are also shifting to thriftier shopping options – 63% said they look for sales and discounts more frequently, 40% shop more frequently at more affordable retailers, and 31% use more coupons. These changes come at a time when over a quarter (27%) of Canadians say they won’t be able to pay all their current bills and loans in full and millions of Canadians’ mortgage payments face potential repayment increases.

    Among Canadians who said they won’t be able to pay of their bills, 68% reported they won’t be able to pay off their total credit card payments. This could be due to these consumers prioritizing other credit payments, like mortgages. Despite the overall inflation rate returning to the Bank of Canada’s target, 96% of Canadians remain concerned about the current rate of inflation and the vast majority (83%) of all surveyed Canadian consumers had inflation in their top three household financial concerns over the next six months.

    “Canadians are navigating a challenging financial landscape, with many adjusting their spending and prioritizing bill payments in response to rising costs and economic uncertainty,” said Matt Fabian, director of financial services research and consulting at TransUnion Canada. “Our latest Consumer Pulse data shows that affordability concerns are top of mind, and many are taking proactive steps to stay financially resilient.”

    Mortgage Renewal Stress Drives Payment Shock and Shifts in Financial Priorities
    Additional research from TransUnion Canada shows that mortgage renewal stress is a key factor contributing to financial strain. As Canadians who purchased homes during the COVID-19 pandemic – when interest rates were at historic lows – begin renewing their mortgages, many are facing significantly higher payments, resulting in payment shock. This financial pressure is particularly evident among Gen X Canadians, with over half (53%) saying in the latest Consumer Pulse Study that their financial situation is worse than planned, the highest by far than any other generation surveyed.

    According to The Bank of Canada’s Financial Stability Report – 2025, around 60% of Canadians’ mortgages are up for renewal in 2025 or 2026. TransUnion’s analysis shows that many of those who purchased homes during the COVID-19 pandemic – when interest rates were at historic lows – are now facing higher interest rates as they begin renewing their mortgages. The Consumer Pulse data suggests that this is leading to payment shock, a significant and often expected increase in debt payments.

    TransUnion analysis shows that since March 2022, over two million consumers have experienced an increase in monthly mortgage payments, with the average monthly mortgage payment for these consumers increasing by 25% in the last three years from $1,527 in March 2022 to $1,908 in March 2025.

    Consumers whose monthly mortgage payments have increased by 25% or more are also accumulating greater credit card debt – more than double the rate of those who did not have an increase in their mortgage payment. Overall, Canadians are prioritizing making mortgage payments over other credit obligations, which is leading to higher delinquencies.

    Uncertainty and continued high interest rates have most likely negatively impacted mortgage demand. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of Canadians indicated in the latest Consumer Pulse Study that they are not considering purchasing a home in the next year. This may point to many consumers may be continuing to hold out for interest rate relief from the Bank of Canada.

    “We’re at a critical moment where many Canadians who took on mortgages during the pandemic—when interest rates were at historic lows—are now facing rising payments and affordability pressures,” said Fabian. “With nearly CA$1.8 trillion in outstanding mortgage balances and 60% of mortgage holders up for renewal by 2026, millions could experience payment shock. Yet, despite these challenges, Canadians continue to demonstrate financial resilience—adapting their spending habits, prioritizing bill payments, and taking steps to help recession-proof their finances.”

    Consumers Wary of Carrying Debt and Shift Shopping Habits as Economic Volatility Persists
    Economic volatility has remained top of mind for many Canadians as over half (51%) in the Q2 2025 Consumer Pulse Study cite a recession as one of their top three financial concerns in the next six months. This uncertainty has continued to limit credit participation among Canadians of all generations, with nearly a third (30%) of all surveyed saying they are uncomfortable with owning credit products.

    In effort to balance their household budgets and remain financially resilient, 74% of Canadians who said we’re currently in a recession or will be in one by the end of Q2 reported they plan on reducing their spending in order to prepare for one. Among all Canadians surveyed, many said they adjusted their shopping habits in the last three months, including:

    • Looking more frequently for sales and discounts (63%)
    • Buying more generic or store brands (41%)
    • Shopping more frequently at affordable retailers (40%)
    • Shopping at retailers with loyalty programs more often (33%)
    • Using more coupons (31%)
    • Taking advantage of credit card offers for special discounts more often (16%)

    To curb spending, Canadians are making various cutbacks, such as digital subscriptions, with 25% reporting they cancelled a subscription or membership in the past three months.

    Fraud Awareness Remains High, but Nearly 4 in 10 Canadians are Taking No Action
    Canadians remain aware of fraud risks and nearly half (46%) of those TransUnion surveyed reported being targeted by email, online, phone call or text message fraud attempts in the past three months. Despite these risks, the Consumer Pulse data indicates that over a third (37%) of Canadians said they took no action in the last 60 days in response to cybersecurity concerns. Of these individuals, 44% said they did nothing because they were unsure of what actions to take.

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — The 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) opened in Beijing on Wednesday, with global business leaders and officials unanimously calling for stronger supply chains through open markets, innovation and multilateral cooperation.

    “This event is not just a trade show. It is a forest of connections between economies, industries and people,” said John Denton, secretary general of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), in his speech. “We are here to promote our shared prosperity.”

    His words reflected a broad consensus among participants: building trust and deepening integration – from AI innovation to global manufacturing cooperation – are essential to effectively address growing global uncertainties.

    CISCE 2025, held from July 16 to 20, brought together more than 650 companies and institutions from 75 countries, regions and international organizations, as well as over 500 of their upstream and downstream partners.

    Foreign exhibitors accounted for 35 percent of the total number of participants, indicating sustainable business interest despite the strengthening geopolitical and economic headwinds.

    Organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), the event is the world’s first national-level exhibition dedicated exclusively to supply chains.

    Ahead of the event, Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University of China, said the active participation of multinational companies reflects “the continuing momentum and irreversibility of globalization.”

    He noted that China, with the world’s most complete and largest industrial system, is playing an increasingly important role in driving global development through digital and green transformation and is increasingly seen as a laboratory for innovation.

    China’s expanding role in global innovation ecosystems, especially in AI, was highlighted by US tech giant Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who spoke at CISCE for the first time.

    Calling China’s supply chain a “phenomenon,” he highlighted the country’s rapidly advancing AI technologies and their global reach. “China’s open-source AI is a catalyst for global progress,” he said, as it enables greater access to innovation and supports international cooperation on standards and safeguards.

    In an interview on the sidelines of the show, Jensen Huang reiterated Nvidia’s long-term commitment to the Chinese market. “If you want to stay in the game, you have to invest,” he said. “The market is moving so fast and the competition is so intense – we have to keep growing.”

    He added that China’s tech market is growing rapidly and remains a key focus for the company, calling it “a very important market with dynamic, innovative customers.”

    The exhibition comes as China has announced economic growth of 5.3 percent in the first half of 2025, despite growing challenges and external uncertainties.

    “China is entering a new cycle of market opportunities,” Lin Chunmei, general manager of Corning Greater China, told Xinhua. “With the rise of AI and cloud computing technologies, the AI infrastructure market is growing faster than ever.”

    She noted that China’s stable and resilient economy, along with a stable and open business environment, continues to support enterprise growth. “We have seen consistent improvements in China’s business environment over the past decades,” she added.

    At the opening ceremony, CCPIT and global business representatives launched a joint initiative calling for supply chain stability and security, digital and green transformation, and stronger international cooperation.

    CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin said the expo has become a platform for China’s high-level opening-up, calling for joint efforts to safeguard multilateralism and build a more connected future. -0-

  • President urges citizens to adopt zero-waste practices, lauds school-level cleanliness drive

    Source: Government of India (4)

    President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday presented the Swachh Survekshan Awards at a ceremony organised by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in the national capital. The awards, which recognise the cleanliness efforts of cities across the country, mark the culmination of the world’s largest cleanliness survey for the year 2024, with participation from state governments, urban local bodies and over 14 crore citizens.

    In her address, the President underscored the cultural and spiritual significance of cleanliness in Indian society. “Cleanliness has been a part of our way of life since ancient times. From our homes to places of worship, maintaining hygiene has always been seen as a virtue,” she said, adding that Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals of cleanliness continue to inspire the Swachh Bharat Mission.

    Recalling her own beginnings in public life, President Murmu said her work on sanitation as Vice President of a Notified Area Council laid the foundation for her political journey. “I used to visit municipal wards daily and oversee the cleaning work. That experience taught me the value of cleanliness in public life,” she said.

    She drew attention to the enduring relevance of traditional practices in addressing modern challenges of waste management. “The principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle – now recognised globally as pillars of a circular economy – are deeply embedded in our traditional lifestyles,” she noted.

    “The modern systems of circularity could be strengthened by adopting such behaviours and traditions,” she said, adding that minimising waste and repurposing resources had long been integral to Indian living.

    Underscoring the need for proper waste segregation, President Murmu emphasised that source segregation remains the first and most crucial step in the waste management value chain. Zero-waste colonies, she said, are setting commendable examples of responsible urban living.

    The President also lauded the School Level Assessment initiative, which aims to instil cleanliness as a core value among students. Such early interventions, she said, could have long-term benefits in shaping responsible citizens.

    Plastic and electronic waste, however, continue to pose a serious challenge, the President said. While the Central government banned certain single-use plastic items in 2022 and introduced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) guidelines for plastic packaging the same year, effective implementation remains critical. “It is the responsibility of all stakeholders-producers, brand owners, and importers-to ensure that these guidelines are followed in letter and spirit,” she stated.

    President Murmu added that cleanliness is not just a matter of hygiene, but also has cultural, economic, and geographical implications. She expressed confidence that citizens across the country would continue to contribute to the Swachh Bharat Mission with dedication and commitment. With collective effort and strong resolve, she said, India can emerge as one of the cleanest nations by 2047, when the country marks 100 years of independence.

    Press release

    16 year olds to be given right to vote through seismic government election reforms

    Sixteen year olds will be given the right to vote in all UK elections as part of seismic changes to modernise UK democracy

    • Modernisation of UK democracy will see 16 and 17 year olds able to vote in next general election
    • Voter ID to be extended to include bank cards to help more people exercise their democratic right
    • Tougher new rules to guard against foreign political interference and abuse of campaigners

    Sixteen year olds will be given the right to vote in all UK elections as part of seismic changes to modernise UK democracy, delivering a key manifesto commitment and helping to restore trust in politics through our Plan for Change.         

    This will mean young people, who already contribute to society by working, paying taxes and serving in the military, will be given the right to vote on the issues that affect them. This will bring UK-wide elections in line with Scotland and Wales and is a major step towards meeting a manifesto commitment, ushering in the biggest change to UK democracy in a generation. 

    The plans, published today [17 July] in a new strategy paper, will boost democratic engagement in a changing world, and help to restore trust in UK democracy.     

    As part of the plans, the government is going further to make sure eligible voters are not deterred from voting, by expanding voter ID to permit the use of UK-issued bank cards as an accepted form of ID at the polling station. This is alongside harnessing more digital options to support voters and polling station staff, including allowing accepted IDs such as the Veteran Card and UK driving licence to be used at polling stations when they become available in digital format.  

    A new digital Voter Authority Certificate will also be created to ensure Electoral Registration Officers can meet the digital needs of voters, reduce printing costs and ensure faster delivery.  

    An increasingly automated voter registration system will also make it easier for people to register to vote and reduce the need to fill out their details across different government services on multiple occasions.      

    Major new changes will boost transparency and accountability in politics by closing loopholes that would allow foreign donors via ‘shell companies’ to influence UK political parties. Meanwhile, new requirements on unincorporated associations will mandate checks on donations over £500 to tackle foreign interference and protect UK democracy from those who attempt to undermine it.   

    Alongside this, the reforms will allow the Electoral Commission to take action and enforce heavier fines of up to £500,000 on those who breach political finance rules, and enable tougher sentences for those who abuse election campaigners – stabilising the foundations of UK democracy.     

    Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner said:       

    “For too long public trust in our democracy has been damaged and faith in our institutions has been allowed to decline.       

    “We are taking action to break down barriers to participation that will ensure more people have the opportunity to engage in UK democracy, supporting our Plan for Change, and delivering on our manifesto commitment to give sixteen year olds the right to vote.   

    “We cannot take our democracy for granted, and by protecting our elections from abuse and boosting participation we will strengthen the foundations of our society for the future.”       

    Minister for Democracy, Rushanara Ali, said:    

    “We are modernising our democracy, so that it is fit for the 21st century. By delivering our manifesto commitment to extend the vote to 16 and 17 year olds, we are taking a generational step forward in restoring public trust and boosting engagement in UK democracy, supporting our Plan for Change.    

    “By reinforcing safeguards against foreign interference, we will strengthen our democratic institutions and protect them for future generations.”   

    Alongside expanding the right to vote, we are going further to restore and maintain public trust by ensuring elections are as accessible as possible for legitimate voters.      

    That’s why the government is making common sense changes to move towards an automated electoral registration system, stripping complexities and barriers for voters to make their lives easier. Learning from countries such as Australia and Canada, which have high rates of legitimate voter registration via automated systems, the government will bring the UK’s democracy into the 21st century.    

    At the same time, far too many people are being deterred from voting because of voter ID rules, with the Electoral Commission finding that 4% of non-voters at the 2024 General Election saying that a lack of voter ID was a key reason they didn’t vote, equating to around three quarters of a million people across Great Britain.   

    Boosting participation is crucial to restoring faith in democracy, and adding the Veteran ID card last year to the accepted forms of Voter ID was just the start of this. Through the new plans, the government is going further to allow UK-issued bank cards to be used as ID when voting, making it far easier for more voters to meet the requirements.     

    This change will allow us to continue to protect the integrity of the UK electoral system, while allowing greater accessibility. Bank cards, which are issued after the applicant has passed necessary security checks for a bank account, will add a widely and commonly carried item to the range of documents already accepted. Research on the ownership of bank cards shows that over 96% of the UK population has a bank account, with the majority expected to also have a bank card.   

    These measures will strike the right balance by continuing to protect voters from the risk of impersonation, while also removing barriers to ensure legitimate voters are not prevented or discouraged from exercising their right to vote.      

    Another key aspect of the reforms is ensuring UK democracy is protected and all voters, candidates, campaigners and electoral staff are safe from intimidation, harassment and abuse.    

    This behaviour is on the rise, particularly against women and ethnic minorities – with recent Electoral Commission research showing 55% of candidates at the 2024 General Election experienced abuse. The reforms will crack down on these unacceptable practices, delivering tougher sentences for those who intimidate campaigners and stronger protections for candidates in public life by removing the requirement for their home address to be published and openly available.    

    This supports ongoing work including through the Defending Democracy Taskforce, which was given a new mandate by the Prime Minister to coordinate and drive forward government’s response to the full range of threats to UK democracy.    

    That includes working across government with the police, parliamentary authorities, and the Electoral Commission to actively review our levers to tackle the harassment and intimidation of elected representatives, candidates, and electoral staff.  

    In relation to political finance, the changes being brought by the government will effectively meet an evolving and sophisticated threat of illicit money being funnelled from abroad to political parties. Tough new rules will ensure that in the future, ‘shell companies’ will not be permitted to make political donations to UK political parties.  

    This will end the status quo, where a new company registered today, owned by anyone, funded from anywhere, without even a single day of trade, can donate and have influence in UK politics.     

    The introduction of ‘Know your Donor’ checks will increase scrutiny of donations, requiring recipients to conduct enhanced checks to decrease the risk of illegitimate donations entering our system, guarding against foreign interference. This will close loopholes, reinforce our democracy and protect our citizens from those who seek to undermine and harm our society.    

    Further information:      

    • To deliver these changes, we will bring forward an elections bill. The bill will deliver the Government’s manifesto commitments and wider ambitions set out in this Strategy by putting in place the legislation required for these important reforms.
    • A subsequent programme of secondary legislation will set out the detail for implementation and we will provide more detail on implementation timings in due course.

    Source: Mayor of London

    • Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announces City Hall’s first-ever London-Africa business summit to be held next year
    • Sadiq is in Africa this week – he is the first ever London Mayor to lead a trade delegation to the continent to drive trade and investment and strengthen cultural links
    • Summit in London next year will bring together entrepreneurs and investors, state officials, mayors, trade groups and stock exchanges from across the African continent, to attract foreign investment to the capital and boost trade links
    • Sadiq declares that expanding ties with Africa will be key to delivering his international trade ambitions for London
    • New figures reveal that UK bilateral trade with Africa is currently worth almost £50 billion [1] and projected to be worth £62 billion by 2030

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has today announced that City Hall will host its first-ever London-Africa business summit next year as he revealed that the UK’s bilateral trade with the African continent is likely to reach £62 billion ($79 billion) by 2030. [2]

    The Summit will bring together entrepreneurs and investors, state officials, mayors, trade groups and stock exchanges from across the continent, with the aim of promoting London as the best global city for African businesses to expand and invest in.

    It will focus on strengthening trade and investment links both ways, and the opportunities that can be unlocked for both London and Africa via key growth sectors, including fintech, creative industries, education and sustainability.

    The announcement comes as Sadiq this week leads a trade mission to Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa to bang the drum for London as a place to invest and do business, making him the first London Mayor to do so.

    The Mayor is determined to meet the goals of his Growth Plan and has doubled down on his commitment to attract foreign direct investment to help grow London’s economy by £107 billion by 2035 and create 150,000 good jobs by 2028.

    Africa’s economic growth is expected to accelerate, with several African countries projected to rank among the top 10 fastest-growing economies globally in 2025. [3]

    The bilateral trade relationship between Africa and the UK has shown consistent growth over recent years, despite global challenges. More businesses from London expand into Africa than from any other city globally and the UK stands as one of Africa’s significant trading partners, with trade between the UK and Africa worth nearly £50 billion ($63 billion) in 2024 and UK exports up seven per cent year on year [4].

    Since 2013, London has been the leading destination city for African FDI in Europe and the US with 72 projects, and ranks as the second most popular destination globally outside Africa — behind only Dubai (202 projects) and ahead of Paris (63 projects). [5] Over the past decade, there have been a total of 71 projects recorded from Africa to London, accounting for an estimated £578 million in Capital Expenditure and creating 2,145 jobs. [6]

    Sadiq is visiting Lagos in Nigeria, Accra in Ghana, and Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa this week to build on extensive connections between the region and the capital’s growing African diaspora, and boost trade links with London. Alongside the visit, the Mayor’s growth agency London & Partners is hosting a trade delegation of 36 London-based companies that are looking to grow their business and access opportunities in Africa.   

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “Trade between the UK and Africa is projected to be worth £62 billion by 2030. Whether its their tech start ups or business and financial services, London is perfectly placed to benefit from Africa’s growth.

    “Today I am announcing that City Hall will host the first-ever mayoral London-Africa business summit to tap into the huge economic opportunities that a strong, mutual relationship with the continent can bring.

    “Expanding ties with Africa will be key to delivering our international trade ambitions, creating thousands of good jobs in the next five years and beyond.

    “London has a rich history with the continent through our diaspora communities. I’m proud to be the first Mayor of London to visit Africa to drive trade and investment and strengthen our cultural links as we work to build a better, more prosperous city for everyone.”

    With nearly eight per cent of Londoners being of African heritage [7] and African students studying in London accounting for four per cent of all international students, half of whom are studying at post-graduate level, [8] the Summit will be a landmark opportunity for London to build on its strong cultural links and history with the African continent.

    The Mayor is keen to tap into Africa’s successes as a growing tech hub and has already begun to establish relationships with cities leading in this space, including Lagos in Nigeria which has generated five tech ‘unicorns’ [9] – startup companies valued at over US$1 billion – and is ranked as the world’s fastest-growing tech hub by global data analysts Dealroom [10].

    Accra, the capital of Ghana has also been highlighted by Dealroom [11] as an up-and-coming business sector with a tech hub that punches above its weight in innovation startup activity, research output, and university-industry collaboration.

    Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: “London is a global city, where the world comes to do business.

    “The UK is committed to a new approach with African countries – rooted in partnership, not paternalism and built on mutual respect. By bringing together investors, innovators and decisions-makers the London-Africa Business Summit will strengthen those ties and unlock growth and prosperity.

    Laura Citron, CEO of London & Partners said: “We’re proud to be joining the Mayor on this historic visit to Africa. It’s an exciting opportunity to explore the continent’s dynamic growth sectors, as well as discovering how their innovation and ambition can inspire new approaches back home in London. With next year’s first Africa–London Summit, this trip is a pivotal moment to build lasting partnerships, unlock new opportunities, and strengthen business ties between our regions.”

    Adjoba Kyiamah, Executive Director of the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce, said: “We welcome the Mayor’s first-ever London-Africa business summit next year, to forge deeper, mutually prosperous ties between London and Ghana.

    “As Accra continues to emerge as a vibrant tech hub, this summit will be a crucial platform to unlock new opportunities, benefiting businesses and ensuring economic prosperity in both London and Accra.

    “As the leading private sector voice of the UK-Ghana business community in Ghana, we are committed to promoting bilateral trade and investment between Ghana and the UK. We are thus encouraged by the summit’s focus on key growth sectors such as fintech, creative industries, education, and sustainability, which hold immense potential for mutual prosperity.”

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    21Shares reflects on a transformative first half – where bold forecasts became reality

    Zurich, 17 July 2025 – 21Shares, one of the world’s leading providers of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), today published its mid-year 2025 edition of the State of Crypto, offering a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of market performance and trends across the digital asset ecosystem.

    The report revisits 21Shares’ bold predictions for 2025, first laid out in December 2024, and evaluates how each thesis has unfolded across key narratives – from nation-state adoption of Bitcoin to stablecoins leading crypto’s real-world adoption. Many of the forward-looking theses put forward at the end of 2024 have already materialised, and the report highlights how early conviction in structural shifts around crypto has proven prescient.

    Among the standout findings:

    • Nation-states are adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset: Our prediction that another nation would adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset in 2025 has largely come to fruition. By launching its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the U.S. became the largest public Bitcoin holder with over 200,000 BTC. Countries like Bhutan and El Salvador continue to maintain sizable Bitcoin holdings, Japan and the Czech Republic are now actively exploring Bitcoin reserve strategies, and Pakistan recently announced the creation of its own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
    • Crypto ETPs will drive further institutional adoption, and will reach $250 billion in AUM globally: Total AUM in global crypto ETPs has already reached $180 billion, and, if macro conditions improve, a 38% rise in valuations alone would push global AUM past our prediction of $250 billion. Another key sub-prediction has also come to pass – one Bitcoin ETF has officially entered the world’s top 25 ETFs by AUM.
    • Solana will continue to eat Ethereum’s market share and will reach an all-time high in total value locked: Our prediction that Solana would cement its position as Ethereum’s top challenger has been decisively confirmed. Real economic value, a measure of actual blockchain usage via user-paid fees shows a shifting landscape. Solana has narrowed the gap with Ethereum from $73M vs. $142M in October 2024 to $30.5M vs. $39M in June 2025. Despite softer market activity, the reality is that Solana is gaining momentum and biting into Ethereum’s market share.
    • Many jurisdictions are reconsidering retail crypto bans: We predicted that 2025 would mark a turning point in global retail access to crypto, and that shift is now visibly underway. In the UK, regulators are moving to lift the retail ban on crypto ETNs, exactly as forecasted. Japan has proposed legalizing Bitcoin ETFs, while South Korea lifted its corporate crypto trading ban and is preparing to open the door to crypto ETFs. 
    • Stablecoins lead crypto’s real-world adoption: Stablecoin AUM stands at an all-time high of $252 billion, with 35.7 million active addresses. Our prediction that nation-states, financial institutions, and Web2 companies would deepen their stablecoin adoption is playing out. In the US, stablecoin legislation through the GENIUS Act is gaining momentum. Internationally, Hong Kong has launched a stablecoin sandbox alongside a licensing regime, and Thailand is piloting a retail baht-backed stablecoin. In traditional finance, global banks are beginning to step in. 

    “This report reflects just how much the industry has matured,” said Adrian Fritz, Head of Research at 21Shares. “We’re seeing Bitcoin redefined as a macro asset, Solana leading real-world adoption, and stablecoins transforming global finance – all while institutional and regulatory frameworks finally catch up.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Financing Africa’s Minerals: Momentum Builds Ahead of African Mining Week (AMW) 2025

    Source: APO – Report:

    .

    International finance institutions are playing an increasingly pivotal role in Africa’s mining sector, providing essential capital and technical support to unlock the continent’s vast mineral potential. Last month, Angola became a sovereign shareholder in the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) through a $184.8 million equity investment. This milestone builds on over $1 billion in AFC financing that Angola has already received, including for the Lobito Corridor – an integrated logistics project connecting Angola, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    Institutions such as the International Finance Corporation (IFC), African Development Bank (AfDB) and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (ERBD) are actively funding mining projects throughout the continent. As such, the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) – Africa’s premier gathering for mining stakeholders, scheduled for October 1-3, 2025, in Cape Town – will showcase strategic moves by African mineral-rich countries to enhance cooperation with global financiers. A dedicated panel titled The Investor Perspective – Financing Africa’s Mineral Industrialization will discuss the investment landscape for African mineral industrialization.

    Algeria officially joined the New Development Bank – a multilateral institution founded by BRICS countries – in May this year, enhancing the country’s access to capital and technical support for its oil, gas and mineral industries. That same month, Benin, Ivory Coast – one of Africa’s largest gold producers – and Nigeria were designated as recipient countries by the EBRD, broadening their access to energy and mining project funding.

    Meanwhile, Ghana – Africa’s largest gold producer – recently joined Nigeria and Angola in completing their capital contributions to the forthcoming Africa Energy Bank. Spearheaded by the African Petroleum Producers Organization and African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), the bank will serve as a dedicated financing institution for African extractive sector projects.

    In March 2025, Somalia also became the 53rd member of Afreximbank, a move expected to unlock new financing channels for the country’s gold mining and trade-related developments. In 2024, the Ivory Coast and Botswana – the world’s largest diamond producer – joined the AFC as sovereign shareholders, while Libya became the 53rd member of Afreximbank.

    In line with growing efforts to align financial innovation with mineral sector development, the AfDB approved a $150 million senior loan to Mauritania’s state-owned mining firm, Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière (SNIM). The funding supports a $467 million logistics expansion program aimed at doubling SNIM’s iron ore railway transport capacity by 2030 and scaling up production of higher value-added products like iron ore pellets. The project integrates renewable energy through the construction of a 12 MW solar plant and includes climate resilience measures backed by the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program.

    Amidst these developments, AMW connects African policymakers with global investors to strengthen existing and forge new investment partnerships aimed at unlocking the continents full potential of its extractive sector.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Former CPPCC National Committee Bureau Member Sentenced to Death with Suspension for Bribery

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — Wu Yingjie, a former member of the Bureau of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on Wednesday for accepting bribes.

    According to the verdict handed down by the Third Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing, Wu Yingjie, who also previously served as chairman of the CPPCC National Committee’s Culture, Historical Information and Education Committee, was deprived of his political rights for life. All of his personal property and illegal income were confiscated and retained by the state.

    The court found that between June 2006 and February 2021, the defendant, while holding various positions in the Xizang Autonomous Region in southwest China, abused his official position to provide assistance to relevant organizations and third parties in matters such as concluding contracts for projects and conducting business activities, in exchange for which he received financial or material benefits from them worth more than 343 million yuan (about 48 million US dollars).

    The court found that the amount of bribes Wu Yingjie received was particularly large, the circumstances of his case were particularly aggravated, and the social consequences were extremely negative, which led to significant damage to the interests of the country and the people.

    However, the court gave Wu Yingjie a more lenient sentence given mitigating circumstances, including his reports of other people’s alleged illegal and criminal activities that were verified following the investigation, Wu Yingjie’s admission of guilt and remorse for his actions, and his active return of the property he had illegally appropriated. -0-
