MIL-OSI Russia: Exclusive: China-Central Asia Summit Demonstrates High Level and Quality of Current Regional Cooperation – Uzbek Expert

Tashkent, June 25 /Xinhua/ — The meeting of the leaders of Uzbekistan and China, as well as the successful holding of the China-Central Asia summit, clearly demonstrated the high level and quality of current regional cooperation, Professor of the Nordic International University in Uzbekistan, Doctor of Economics Akram Khashimov said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua about relations between China and Central Asian countries.

According to him, based on the statements of the heads of state, it can be concluded that the countries of Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, highly appreciate the responsibility and constructive position of China in promoting regional cooperation. As the expert emphasized, the meeting was not only an important milestone in the political dialogue, but also another confirmation of strategic trust between the parties.

A. Khashimov noted that following the talks, the leaders of Uzbekistan and China reached a number of key agreements covering a wide range of areas – from economics and trade to transport, green energy, education and humanitarian exchanges. “For Uzbekistan, China is not only an important trade and economic partner, but also a key ally on the path to modernization of the country,” the expert emphasized, adding that the meeting gave additional confidence and outlined clear guidelines for further cooperation.

At the regional level, according to the Uzbek analyst, the China-Central Asia summit clearly demonstrated to the world that cooperation between the countries of the region and China is based on the principles of equality, mutual trust and mutual benefit. The very creation of a mechanism of this format, according to the expert, testifies to the growing commitment of the Central Asian countries to the principles of sovereignty and strategic autonomy, as well as their readiness to jointly respond to challenges and share development opportunities on a fair basis.

Particular attention was paid to the concept of a community with a common destiny put forward by China. A. Khashimov noted that this initiative is fully consistent with Uzbekistan’s foreign policy priorities: good neighborliness, pragmatic partnership and mutual benefit. In the context of an increasingly complex international situation, in his opinion, cooperation mechanisms between Uzbekistan, China and the Central Asian countries are becoming the most important source of peace, development and stability, representing a sustainable and future-oriented model of regional governance.

The expert expressed confidence that in the future, the China-Central Asia summit mechanism will become a central platform for coordinating regional cooperation. Uzbekistan, he stressed, is ready to continue to act as an active participant, consistently implementing the agreements reached at the highest level, deepening practical cooperation and contributing to the formation of a closer community with a common future between China and Central Asia for the sake of sustainable peace and common prosperity. –0–

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Anchor fails to meet RSH’s governance standards 

Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

Press release

Anchor fails to meet RSH’s governance standards 

The Regulator of Social Housing has downgraded Anchor’s governance grading to G3 in a regulatory judgement published today (Wednesday 25 June), after an investigation found issues of serious regulatory concern.  

RSH found insufficient evidence that Anchor has an appropriate, robust and prudent risk and control framework and that it has adequately managed and addressed key risks relating to landlord health and safety.  

There is also insufficient assurance that Anchor’s data is robust and that systems and processes are adequate to ensure key information is monitored and accurately reported.  

Anchor has identified that there have been errors in its landlord health and safety compliance performance reporting and is undertaking a review of its data, which is ongoing.  

Anchor received a C3 consumer grading in February after RSH found serious failings in its delivery of the consumer standards. Anchor was then placed on the gradings –under review list while RSH investigated further issues relating to governance. 

RSH also published a range of other regulatory judgements today, including a C3 grading for Slough Borough Council.

Following an inspection, RSH found that Slough Borough Council:

Lacked meaningful tenant engagement and provided limited performance information for tenants
Could not demonstrate how homes were allocated in a fair and transparent way

First Garden Cities Homes and Southway Housing Trust were both downgraded to a G2 governance grading and were regraded to V2 for viability. Both received C2 gradings.

Pickering and Ferens Homes received C1/G1/V1 gradings and Tuntum Housing Association Limited received C2/G1/V2 gradings.

Kate Dodsworth, Chief of Regulatory Engagement at RSH, said:

Good governance is critical for delivering good services and keeping tenants safe in their homes. All landlords need to make sure they have strong governance and controls in place in order to have a better grasp of strategic risks.

Equally, delivering the outcomes of the new consumer standards is vital for tenants’ health and safety and making sure their voices are heard. Our programme of proactive inspections is helping bring issues to light so they can be put right as soon as possible.

Notes to Editors

RSH regulates housing associations and other private registered providers against its full set of standards. Councils are regulated against the consumer and rent standards only.
More information about RSH’s responsive engagement, programmed inspections and consumer gradings is also available on its website.  
RSH promotes a viable, efficient and well-governed social housing sector able to deliver more and better social homes. It does this by setting standards and carrying out robust regulation focusing on driving improvement in social landlords, including local authorities, and ensuring that housing associations are well-governed, financially viable and offer value for money. It takes appropriate action if the outcomes of the standards are not being delivered.

Provider	Consumer grade	Governance grade	Viability grade	Process
Anchor Hanover Group	C3 (based on previous assessment)	G3 (downgrade)	V1 (based on previous assessment)	Responsive Engagement

President Wavel Ramkalawan presided over a landmark economic forum on Tuesday afternoon, bringing together high-level government officials and private sector representatives in an unprecedented collaborative dialogue aimed at strengthening Seychelles’ economic foundation and fostering sustainable growth.

The historic gathering held at State House, marked the commencement of a structured partnership between the government and business community. President Ramkalawan articulated his vision for enhanced economic cooperation, expressing profound enthusiasm for the collaborative framework being established to streamline business operations and accelerate the nation’s economic trajectory. He emphasized the administration’s dedication to creating an environment where private sector innovation and investment can flourish, recognizing that such an environment is essential for achieving long-term economic prosperity. The collaborative approach established through this inaugural forum represents a significant step toward more inclusive economic governance and strategic partnership between public and private sectors.

The forum commenced with comprehensive discussions on strategic land development and reclamation initiatives. The Minister of Investment, entrepreneurship and Industry Mrs. Devika Vidot provided an insightful overview of land utilization policies, establishing the foundation for CEO Jitesh Shah’s detailed presentation on reclamation projects. These discussions illuminated significant opportunities for strategic land development that would support industrial expansion while addressing the growing demand for commercial spaces.

Financial sector modernization emerged as a central theme throughout the deliberations. The Chairman of the Seychelles Chamber of Commerce and Industry delivered comprehensive presentations addressing the acceleration of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer(KYC) reforms, initiatives designed to enhance business growth prospects while ensuring robust financial inclusion. These reforms represent crucial steps toward maintaining Seychelles’ competitive position in the international financial sector and addressing compliance requirements that have become increasingly stringent in the global marketplace.

The forum also extensively examined payment system modernization, with particular emphasis on the systematic phase-out of traditional cheque systems and the implementation of contemporary digital payment infrastructure and its associated disadvantages.

The forum concluded with a commitment to establishing regular dialogue mechanisms that will ensure ongoing communication between government and private sector stakeholders on a monthly basis. This framework is designed to create responsive policy development processes that can adapt to changing market conditions and emerging business needs.

The successful convening of this forum demonstrates the government’s commitment to transparent dialogue and collaborative problem-solving, establishing a foundation for continued engagement that will support Seychelles’ economic development objectives while addressing the practical challenges faced by businesses operating in the modern economy.

MIL-OSI Russia: Gorky Park, the GES-2 Culture Center, and VDNKh: the Get to Know Moscow portal has a selection of favorite places for Moscow youth

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

On the eve of Youth Day in Russia, the portal “Learn Moscow” and the project participants “Youth of Moscow” compiled a selection of favorite places of the capital’s youth. It included Gorky Park, VDNKh, the GES-2 Culture House, the multi-format space “Youth of Moscow” and other sites. You can view the selection and read interesting facts about each place at website.

“This rating is based on the real preferences of young Muscovites – aged 18 to 35. Together with the “Youth of Moscow” project, we found out where people most often go for the atmosphere, communication and new impressions. Initially, the list included about 50 places – from parks and cultural centers to historical corners of the city. After analysis, we selected 10 most popular locations. The result is a selection of places that are especially loved by young people. Both Muscovites and those who are just getting to know the capital will be able to find something interesting for themselves,” the press service of the city said.

Department of Information Technology.

More than 200 people took part in the survey — students, active participants of the project “Youth of Moscow”. Each of them was asked to tell about the places where they especially like to walk in company, where they most often go for solitude, about what spaces are associated with study, what is important when choosing a place to relax in Moscow and what kind of leisure is closer to them.

The selection of favorite venues of the capital’s youth opens with Gorky Park – one of the symbols of Moscow, a popular recreation area and a unique complex that unites the architecture of different eras on its territory. It opened in 1928 and became the world’s first park of a new type, which combined the functions of a space for leisure, sports and cultural events. Almost 30 years later, in 1957, it hosted participants of the VI World Festival of Youth and Students from 131 countries. Today, Gorky Park hosts large-scale city events, festivals, exhibitions and concerts, attracting millions of Muscovites and tourists. This place is often mentioned by lovers of walking and cycling.

The selection also includes VDNKh. This place is especially popular with those who prefer to relax in the fresh air. In 1935, the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition began to grow on the territory of the city suburbs, the main goal of which was to demonstrate not only the accomplished successes of various branches of the economy, but also to show the prospects of the bright future of all Soviet citizens planned by the government. Over the decades of its existence, the exhibition changed its appearance, name, and purpose. Now it is a complex with an area of 325 hectares with historical pavilions, arches, museums, ponds, parks, alleys, fountains, flower beds and sculptures.

In addition, the selection included the GES-2 Culture Center. Many respondents called it one of the most memorable places they had visited recently. The central electric station of the city tram (GES-2) is a unique example of industrial architecture of the early 20th century, transformed into a modern cultural space. The station was conceived as a real industrial giant of its time with a design capacity of at least 15 thousand kilowatts, designed to provide energy to city trams. Its architectural appearance combined industrial style and motifs of ancient Russian architecture, and the hallmark of the building was a tent-shaped tower with a clock. The station operated for 100 years until it was decommissioned in 2006 due to equipment wear and tear.

In 2015, restoration work began on the building. Specialists returned it to its original appearance and simultaneously improved the territory. This project has become the world’s largest example of transforming an industrial facility into a cultural space in recent years. The new space combines exhibition halls, a library, a cinema and a concert hall, workshops, studios and artist residences, shops, a restaurant and a café, a playground and auditoriums for public events.

Another popular place is the multi-format space “Youth of Moscow”. It was created as part of the city project of the same name. Here you can book a coworking space, a media studio, halls for events, training sessions and other areas for free. This is the place that most respondents associate with youth.

The “Youth of Moscow” project started five years ago, and during this time the team has organized more than five thousand events – from career forums and competitions to creative festivals and educational programs. Many of them help city residents find employment and start their own business. More than three thousand initiatives of young Muscovites in various fields received support from the project.

The selection of favorite places of young Muscovites also included Zaryadye Park, Kitay-gorod, Arbat, Vorobyovy Gory, Chistye Prudy and Khodynskoye Pole Park.

“Get to Know Moscow”— a joint project of departments information technology, cultures, cultural heritage, education and science. The interactive guide contains, for example, photographs and descriptions of over 3,500 buildings, monuments, historical sites, over 290 walking routes and information about over 320 historical figures. Users also have access to a mobile application “Get to Know Moscow”.

You can learn more about why microchips are being put on books in city libraries, how to walk around the capital with a personal tour guide, or plan a trip around the city and country in a couple of clicks from the final episode of the popular science film “Moscow in Digital”.

Moscow is a city of youth. The capital offers wide opportunities for its development, creative self-expression, comfortable life and interesting leisure. The corresponding infrastructure is being created here, thousands of events of different scale and focus are held.

In honor of the upcoming Youth Day, themed events will be held at more than 250 city venues. The flagship event will be the festival, which will take place on June 28 and 29 at Bolotnaya Square. You can find more detailed information and a map with all city events on the portal “Youth of Moscow”.

The creation, development and operation of the e-government infrastructure, including the provision of mass socially significant services, as well as other services in electronic form, correspond to the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State” and the regional project of the city of Moscow “Digital Public Administration”.

MIL-OSI Europe: 20% of Europeans exposed to harmful noise pollution levels

Source: European Union 2

Press releasePublished 24 Jun 2025

ImageErika Zolli, My City /EEA

Just over 110 million people, or more than 20% of Europeans, are exposed to high levels of transport noise that exceed thresholds set under EU reporting rules and which harm our health, the environment and the economy, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report on noise pollution published today. The report calls for stronger action at EU and national levels to address the problem.

Progress in decreasing exposure to harmful levels of noise has been slow according to the EEA report ‘Environmental noise in Europe 2025’, adding that the EU zero-pollution objective to reduce the number of people chronically disturbed by transport noise by 30% by 2030 is unlikely to be met without additional measures.

Long-term exposure to transport noise in Europe is linked to a wide range of negative impacts on our health including cardiovascular diseases, mental illness, diabetes and even premature death. The report says children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise. Based on new research, noise exposure in children contributes to reading impairment, behavioural problems and obesity.

The economic and social costs are also high, as associated illness and poor health have negative impacts on the economy. The report says noise pollution from transport sources results in annual economic costs of at least EUR 95.6 billion in Europe or 0.6% of the total gross domestic product (GDP) each year, applying established methods to estimate costs of environmental noise.

The EEA report is the most comprehensive analysis of environmental noise pollution in Europe, based on reporting by EEA Member States under the EU’s Environmental Noise Directive. It looks at both the impact on human health but also the impacts of noise on biodiversity and protected natural areas.

EEA Executive Director

Noise pollution is often overlooked, considered just an annoyance of everyday life. The long-term impacts of noise on our health and environment are widespread and significant contributing to premature deaths, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and mental health issues. Children are also particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise and it’s a problem all EU Member States need to urgently address if we are to make progress on our EU 2030 zero pollution target to reduce noise pollution,

Transport noise

Road traffic is identified as the dominant source of noise pollution, especially in densely populated urban areas, where the highest numbers of people are affected.

Based on thresholds set under the EU’s Environmental Noise Directive, road transport accounts for around 92 million people exposed to harmful day-evening-night noise levels. The EU noise thresholds under the Directive are set at 55 decibels (dB) for the day-evening-night period and 50dB for the night period.

In comparison, railway noise affects 18 million people during the day-evening-night period while aircraft noise impacts around 2.6 million (day-evening-night). While rail and aircraft noise affect fewer people overall, they remain significant sources of local noise pollution, particularly near major rail transport corridors and airports.

World Health Organization environmental noise guidelines recommend substantially stricter noise levels, meaning that many more individuals are exposed to transport-related noise. When considering these lower recommended levels, it is estimated that approximately 150 million people — more than 30% of the population — are exposed to long-term unhealthy noise levels from transport sources.

Health impacts

Noise pollution is not only an annoyance, it can cause extensive health impacts. It has typically been associated with impacts such as annoyance and sleep disturbance, but its effects are much broader. Exposure to noise affects health through interconnected pathways, primarily stress and sleep disturbance. These factors can contribute to a wide range of negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, mental health disorders, and even premature deaths.

Prolonged exposure to transport noise in Europe was linked to an estimated 66,000 premature deaths, 50,000 new cases of cardiovascular diseases and 22,000 new cases of type 2 diabetes. Additionally, according to new research, noise could also potentially contribute to thousands of cases of depression and dementia.

For children and adolescents, noise exposure contributed to over 560,000 cases of reading comprehension impairment, 63,000 behavioural problems and 272,000 cases of children being overweight according to latest data from 2021.

When compared to other environmental health threats in Europe, transport noise ranks among the top three — just behind air pollution and temperature-related (climatic) factors. Furthermore, it has a greater health impact than better-known risks such as second-hand smoke or lead exposure.

Noise harms nature

Noise pollution also impacts wildlife on land and in the sea. The report finds that at least 29% of Natura 2000 protected areas in Europe experience noise levels that could impact terrestrial wildlife behaviours.

Underwater noise pollution from shipping, offshore construction and marine exploration also disrupts marine life particularly in species in Europe’s waters that rely on sound for survival such as whales and dolphins. Areas with the highest underwater noise exposure in Europe include parts of the English Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar, parts of the Adriatic Sea, the Dardanelles Strait and some regions in the Baltic Sea.

Solutions towards a quieter Europe

Based on EEA estimates, the number of people highly annoyed by transport noise in the EU declined by only 3% between 2017 and 2022. This reduction falls short of the pace needed to meet the zero pollution action plan noise reduction objective. Based on current projections to 2030, it is unlikely the EU will meet the target without additional action.

The report identifies examples of effective solutions already available to help mitigate noise. They include improving access to quiet and green spaces in cities, actions like reduced speed limits for vehicles in urban areas, better maintenance of railway infrastructure, boosting use of low-noise tyres, and optimising aircraft landing/takeoff patterns at airports and promoting the use of quieter aircraft.

Further, long-term strategies for urban areas that prioritise preventative measures like creating buffer zones between transport corridors and residential areas or promoting sustainable mobility like public transport, walking and cycling can also help.

MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: President Lai leads industrial listening tours to New Taipei Industrial Park, embodying the spirit of Taiwan to achieve a new economic miracle.

Source: Republic of China Taiwan

President Lai Ching-Te led a delegation, including Presidential Secretary-General Pan Men-An, Presidential Office Spokesperson Kuo Ya-Hui, Executive Yuan Secretary-General Kung Ming-Hsin, Minister of Economic Affairs Ku Jyh-Huei, and the administrative team, on an “Industrial Listening Tour” at New Taipei Industrial Park on May 2. The delegation engaged in in-depth exchanges with important representatives from the region’s electronics, textile, medical equipment, HVAC, and defense industries.
On April 3, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a 32% reciprocal tariff on Taiwan. President Lai immediately convened industry representatives to his official residence on April 5 to listen to their concerns and officially announced the government’s response measures to the public on the afternoon of April 6, which specifically demonstrated the government’s determination to overcome difficulties with the industry. In the face of US tariff policy, the government has launched the first round of negotiations and continues to negotiate based on the three principles of ensuring national interests, maintaining Taiwan’s industrial development space, and protecting Taiwan’s industrial ecosystem.
To respond to industry concerns, President Lai and Premier Cho have conducted nearly 20 listening tours. The Executive Yuan has approved a special bill allocating NT$410 billion, including NT$93 billion to support impacted industries and NT$100 billion to subsidize Taiwan Power Company for stable electricity supply, easing operational burdens on business.
At the forum, New Taipei Mayor Hou Yu-Ih and Legislators Su Chiao-Hui, Wu Ping-Jui, Lin Shu-Fen, Lee Kuen-Cheng and Hung Mong-Kai attended to show their support for local industries. Industry representatives raised concerns such as ensuring a stable electricity supply, promoting the integration of SMEs into the semiconductor supply chain, shortening medical device review processes, and implementing ESCO energy-saving technologies for net-zero transformation. President Lai responded that deep energy-saving through ESCOs not only improves energy efficiency but also qualifies for tax credits of equipment investment. Minister Kuo noted that the ministry has budgeted for deep energy-saving projects that offer financial incentives based on actual savings, potentially reducing business power costs by 8-12%. Secretary-General Kung added that the government’s A+ Program encourages innovative R&D and allows companies to hire full-time professionals to support their projects.
President Lai pointed out that according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast, amid the turbulent international economic situation, the economic growth rate of most countries has declined, but Taiwan has increased its forecast from 2.7% to 2.9%, demonstrating the international community’s high recognition of Taiwan’s economic prospects and the high resilience of Taiwan’s industries. He highlighted that Taiwan has consistently grown stronger through adversity –this is the spirit of Taiwan and the hallmark of its industries.
In conclusion, the President reaffirmed that the government will adhere to the principle of “Speed and order in balance” to advance negotiations in the face of Trump’s tariff policy. It should not only focus on speed but also ensure the overall interests of the country and promote the three major industrial strategies for the future development of Taiwan’s industries, including:
1. Foresight and sustainability through smart innovation;
2. Competing in space and exploring the oceans;
3. Rooted in Taiwan, expanding globally, strengthening ties with the U.S., and promoting Taiwan to the world.
The government is committed to driving industrial AI adoption, advancing marine industry development, transitioning to diverse green energy sources reinforcing power system resilience, and pursuing regional economic integration through bilateral investment agreements with democratic partners. With the enduring spirit of Taiwan, we are fully capable of building a resilient economy and achieving a new economic miracle together.

MIL-OSI: Online Payday Loans Same day No Credit Check Guaranteed Approval : Radcred Launches Instant Payday Loans for Emergency Financial Needs
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Glendale, California, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radcred has launched a digital-first lending platform to meet the rising demand for online payday loans, offering same-day funding and soft credit checks for borrowers historically overlooked by traditional banks. The new system aims to simplify access to small-dollar financing by matching applicants with licensed lenders through a fully secure online process. This platform responds to growing consumer needs for fast, flexible, and transparent lending especially in emergencies involving $400–$500.

Rising Demand for Online Payday Loans in the U.S.

According to the Federal Reserve, more than 60% of Americans say they wouldn’t be able to cover a $400 emergency expense without borrowing, using credit, or selling assets. This gap in short-term financial security has driven millions to seek alternative financing, with online payday loans becoming a key solution.

Search volume for terms like “$500 loan”, “same day loan”, and “instant loan approval” has risen dramatically in 2024 and 2025, particularly among gig workers, hourly employees, and individuals with credit scores under 580. These users are looking for simple, fast funding without the long wait times or rigid requirements of traditional credit systems.

Digital platforms like Radcred’s are helping fill this gap by enabling qualified borrowers to apply for online payday loans without visiting a storefront lender or submitting extensive paperwork.

Radcred Launches Online Payday Loan Platform with Same Day Options

Radcred’s lending platform connects borrowers directly to a network of licensed, state-compliant payday lenders. With soft inquiry checks and same-day loan processing, the platform is built for speed and accessibility. Unlike traditional banks, Radcred offers options for those with poor or limited credit histories.

The platform supports applications from users across all 50 states, focusing on underserved groups such as part-time workers, gig economy professionals, and those recovering from financial setbacks. Through encrypted processing and smart-matching technology, Radcred ensures quick turnaround times often funding requests within hours.

Borrowers can secure a $255 payday loan, a $500 loan no credit check loans or another small-dollar amount based on the offers provided by Payday lenders.

How Radcred’s Online Payday Loan Process Works

Radcred’s loan process is built around simplicity and speed:
1. Submit Application: Applicants fill out a short form with basic personal and financial information. No paperwork or faxing required.
2. Get Matched: Radcred uses a proprietary algorithm to match users with licensed lenders based on state regulations, eligibility, and loan request.
3. Review and Accept: Once matched, applicants can compare offers, review the APRs, fees, and terms, and accept the best loan.
The process involves no hard credit pull, helping protect the borrower’s FICO score. All offers are presented upfront, with clear repayment timelines and fee disclosures. The platform works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices, ensuring broad accessibility for users in need of instant loans.

Who Can Apply for Online Payday Loans Through Radcred?

Radcred’s eligibility criteria are designed to be inclusive:
- U.S. citizens or permanent residents
- Age 18 or older
- Monthly income (employment or benefits)

There is no minimum credit score required. Applicants with poor or no credit history are still eligible to receive loan offers. Many users who turn to same-day payday loans through Radcred have been declined elsewhere due to credit score thresholds or outdated bank policies.

What Makes Online Payday Loans Different from Installment Loans?

While both are forms of short-term financing, payday loans are typically due in full on the borrower’s next payday, making them ideal for immediate, one-time expenses. Installment loans, on the other hand, are repaid over a set number of months with fixed payments.

Radcred’s platform focuses on instant payday loans for urgent needs typically between $255 and $500 offering borrowers a short-term fix without long-term obligations. This model provides more flexibility and quicker resolution for those facing financial stress.

Common Uses for Online Payday Loans

People apply for online payday loans for a wide range of urgent expenses:
- Emergency medical bills
- Rent shortfalls
- Utility disconnections
- Car breakdowns
- Unexpected travel
- Childcare or school-related costs
Radcred’s platform supports same day loan decisions, helping users address financial shortfalls without delay. The goal is to provide immediate help while maintaining lender transparency and data security.

MIL-OSI Russia: Improvement of the Vinogradovo estate in north-east Moscow has begun

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

Specialists from the city economy complex have begun landscaping the territory of the Vinogradovo estate in the north-east of the capital. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Landscaping Petr Biryukov.

“We are improving the territory of the Vinogradovo estate, which is a cultural heritage site and a work of landscape gardening art of regional significance. As part of the project, we will preserve the historical appearance and layout of the park as much as possible, while adapting the space for modern use,” noted Petr Biryukov.

Currently, foundations for eco-trails and an outdoor lighting system are being installed, and fences are being replaced. In addition, work is underway to create a sports cluster. The improvement zone has been fenced off, and special shields have been installed around the green spaces.

The main objective of the improvement is to make the territory accessible to residents, provide them with the opportunity for comfortable rest and ensure maximum preservation of the surviving fragments of the planning structure and garden and park elements. Therefore, most of the estate infrastructure will be located on eco-flooring, into which gazebos for rest, benches, a rotunda with hanging swings and an area for events will be integrated.

An amphitheater with a covered stage and a pavilion for artists will appear on the estate’s territory. A children’s playground will also be built there. In addition, the fountain bowl will be restored.

In the front area near the eastern and western wings, the access road surface will be renewed. During the work along the perimeter of the southern section, the outdated fence will be restored – it will be made according to historical analogues.

The roadway and sidewalks on Dolgoprudnaya Alley will be repaired, lanterns will be installed, including contrast lighting. The pylons of the entrance gates and the sections of the metal fence will be restored. And the lost gates have already been restored.

On the northern section in the utility zone, on the site of the parking lot, a sports cluster will be created with a skate park, a workout zone, a multi-purpose field for mini-football and volleyball, a stand for spectators and a pavilion with changing rooms.

On the western bank of the small Dolgy pond, which is currently used as a spontaneous recreation area, a comfortable recreational space will appear. An eco-trail with descents to the water will be organized there, several pergolas with hanging swings will be arranged on the deck along the coastline, and sun loungers will be installed for relaxation. From the eco-trail, you can go down to specially equipped picnic spots with gazebos and barbecues.

MIL-OSI China: China confident in, capable of maintaining rapid economic growth

Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

China is confident in and capable of maintaining rapid economic growth, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said Wednesday.

Li made the remarks when addressing the opening of the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos, in north China’s Tianjin Municipality.

“Over the years, no matter how the international environment has changed, China’s economy has consistently maintained a good momentum,” Li said.

He noted that China’s gross domestic product grew by 5.4 percent in the first quarter of 2025 despite facing significantly heightened external shocks this year. “Key economic indicators continued to improve in the second quarter, and I noticed that international institutions have recently raised their expectations for China’s economic growth,” he said.

“China’s economic development is not about short-term spurts, but sustained progress toward long-term goals,” Li added.

He also noted that China is moving toward becoming a high-income country as a whole, driven by strong demand for consumption upgrades in the world’s second-largest consumer and import market.

China is striving to develop itself into a super-sized consumption powerhouse on the solid foundation of a manufacturing powerhouse, the Chinese premier said.

Li noted that China’s sustained breakthroughs and advances in innovation will inject fresh vitality into global development, helping overcome sluggish economic growth worldwide.

During the ongoing Summer Davos, World Economic Forum President Borge Brende shared an optimistic outlook on China’s economic prospects.

“I’m relatively optimistic for the Chinese economy, both in the medium-term and long-term. China has diversified already, but also, China is pivoting from manufacturing of goods to more services and digital trade. We are also seeing a lot of new technologies being applied. China is doing very well on artificial intelligence, on robotics,” he said.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also highlighted China’s remarkable story of transformation in recent decades, calling on countries to understand and stay engaged with China, rather than isolate it.

As China continues to grow stronger in the coming decades, Blair emphasized the importance of deepening engagement, with a particular focus on people-to-people exchanges in addition to government and business cooperation.

Themed “Entrepreneurship for a New Era,” the event, held from June 24 to 26, has attracted over 1,700 leading figures from more than 90 countries and regions to explore how entrepreneurship and emerging technologies can unlock more dynamic and resilient economies.

MIL-OSI China: Forging win-win partnerships to invigorate global growth

Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

The global economy stands at a crossroads. The pressing question is whether it will slide further into the quagmire of protectionism and uncertainty, or whether all stakeholders can work together to reignite growth by forging win-win partnerships and practicing true multilateralism.

For decades, free trade has created jobs, delivered affordable consumer goods, improved global welfare, and advanced economic globalization. Yet this trend is encountering a notable rise in trade barriers and trade fragmentation.

At the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in north China’s Tianjin Municipality, global leaders from government, business, academia and other fields are expected to offer valuable insights into how to address mounting challenges that drag down global growth. It is hoped that such discussions may help shape a resilient and sustainable future for the world.

This year’s meeting, also known as the Summer Davos, focuses on five areas: outlook on China, investing in people and planet, new energy and materials, industries disrupted and deciphering the world economy.

The global economy, which has been struggling to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, is confronted with a worsening growth predicament — due to the escalation of geopolitical conflicts and policy uncertainty.

The World Bank’s latest Global Economic Prospects cut the 2025 global economic growth forecast to 2.3 percent, the slowest pace since 2008, apart from two years of outright global recession in 2009 and 2020, respectively.

Against the backdrop of various headwinds and economic prospects, it is vital to leverage the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in unlocking new growth drivers and forging strong partnerships.

The new round of sci-tech revolution, featuring intelligent, green and health technologies, has provided opportunities for cultivating new growth areas and new pathways for tackling challenges facing humanity. On Tuesday, the WEF unveiled top 10 emerging technologies of 2025, including collaborative sensing and generative watermarking, which are expected to achieve real-world impact within three to five years and address global challenges.

The Summer Davos has become an important platform for promoting exchanges between China and the world — and enhancing practical cooperation. The event not only enables participants to share insights, but also provides an opportunity for businesses and investors to secure partnerships.

This year’s meeting is seeing the highest number of registered participants in recent years, demonstrating the will of all parties in seeking to uphold economic globalization and free trade, as well as their positive attitude toward enhancing economic and trade exchanges and cooperation with China.

China is committed to multilateralism and free trade. The world’s second-largest economy will continue to provide numerous opportunities for win-win cooperation as it advances modernization. Its technological progress in fields such as new energy and artificial intelligence and commitment to high-standard opening up highlight the dynamism and resilience of the Chinese economy, which is shifting to a growth model driven by consumption and innovation.

Win-win cooperation and close collaboration are the right paths for exiting the global economic growth predicament and achieving shared development. Through the in-depth exchange of ideas, it is hoped that the 2025 Summer Davos will catalyze new partnerships, contribute innovative solutions to development challenges, and inject much needed stability and certainty into the world.

The Innovation & Technology Commission stated today that it has introduced an enhancement to the New Industrialisation Funding Scheme (NIFS) that includes streamlined procedures to speed up the process of approving applications.

In addition to noting that the enhancement applies to those seeking funding support of no more than $2.8 million, the commission emphasised that the relevant applications will be processed according to the newly established streamlined procedures.

It also pointed out that the aim of the enhancement is to further support enterprises in adopting smart manufacturing and seize market opportunities.

Secretary for Innovation, Technology & Industry Prof Sun Dong said that the Government actively promotes the development of new industrialisation through the New Industrialisation Acceleration Scheme (NIAS) and the NIFS, injecting new impetus into Hong Kong’s economy.

While indicating that enterprises are making use of the funding support from these two schemes to set up new smart production facilities in Hong Kong, Prof Sun highlighted that funded enterprises will bring to Hong Kong the relevant technologies and expertise of product manufacturing, driving the development of Hong Kong’s new industrialisation and diversified economy.

Moreover, the commission announced today that the New Industrialisation Vetting Committee has supported an application submitted by J Cube Semiconductor (Hong Kong) under the NIAS.

The project plans to set up third-generation semiconductor silicon carbide wafer production facilities, which fall under the advanced manufacturing technology sector.

FRANKFURT, Germany, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jitterbit, a global leader in accelerating business transformation for enterprise systems, today announced the global expansion of its partner program and new Jitterbit University partner curricula. Together, they provide solution providers, consulting firms and channel technology partners clear and profitable paths toward delivering end-to-end automation and agentic AI solutions to customers.

“With the unprecedented focus on AI, channel partners are looking at the value technology provides their customers in a whole new way,” said Jitterbit Chief Revenue Officer Luca Taglioretti. “The advent of agentic AI is their chance to deliver real business improvement to customers faster than ever before. And the new Jitterbit Partner Program was designed from the ground up with these forward-thinking partners in mind.”

In today’s world of complex, multi-vendor IT environments, it’s imperative that a modern partner ecosystem is designed to train, enable and empower reseller and referral partners to help their customers grow in the AI era.

“Every enterprise is looking to infuse AI into the parts of their business where it will make the most financial impact,” said Jitterbit President and CEO Bill Conner. “But with a scarcity of skilled coding resources and trusted AI technology, enterprises want solutions and resources that bring business transformation and AI together. Jitterbit’s new partner program offers technology partners real AI solutions, training and certification, and a clear path to accelerate their customers’ businesses today — not 18 or 24 months down the road.”

Partner Benefits Designed for Quick Growth in Agentic AI, Enterprise Automation

The new global Jitterbit Partner Program is designed from the ground up to accelerate Jitterbit partners as they provide automation, integration, low-code app development and agentic AI capabilities to a new wave of business technologists.

The boost to Jitterbit’s channel follows the release of Jitterbit’s new layered AI and low-code Harmony platform, which allows enterprises to democratize automation, design and build end-to-end systems, and even build their own AI agents.

“If technology partners and resellers are serious about automation and agentic AI, they need to align their strategies with vendors that are building secure, compliant and accountable AI agents the right way,” said Hermann Ramacher, CEO of ADN, a major Jitterbit distributor in Germany. “What’s attractive to ADN is that we can use Jitterbit’s platform to build agents ourselves, or outsource the work to their AI experts. It gives us the ease, speed and flexibility to deliver value for our customers and accelerate our business into the next phase of AI.”

The first phase of the new global Jitterbit Partner Program delivers resellers and referral partners foundational benefits to scale their automation capabilities:
- Financial Benefits & Deal Protection: Partners can benefit from competitive product discounts for new unique opportunities through deal registration and annual back-end rebates, ensuring competitive advantages and protected margins. Referral partners receive referral fees.
- Structured Onboarding & Co-Selling: Jitterbit provides a structured onboarding program to rapidly enable partners within 90 days, complemented by a collaborative co-selling model that encourages early engagement, team-based interactions, and shared opportunities.
- Go-to-Market Support & Growth: Reseller partners gain access to performance incentive programs, proposal-based MDF, and assigned sales executive leadership to drive joint market initiatives. Joint business plan development and rep-to-rep alignment further foster mutual growth.
- Complimentary Training & Resources: Free online training and certification curriculum is available for all partners. Initial online product technical training and complimentary sandbox access is available for resellers, ensuring partners are well-equipped to sell and support Jitterbit solutions. Partners also have access to a dedicated support portal and various resources.
Jitterbit University Delivers Accelerated Path toward Agentic Experience

Jitterbit’s new partner program includes partner-specific training and certifications within the world-class Jitterbit University. This online learning platform accelerates skills transfer in the fast-moving AI market by offering:
- Complimentary Training Library: Equip teams with essential skills through a full suite of complimentary training courses.
- Structured Learning Paths & Certification: Gain expertise and confidence on the Harmony platform with dedicated training paths and a recognized certification program.
- Collaborate with Jitterbit Experts: Connect and collaborate with the Jitterbit Community, a global network of Jitterbit users and experts.
Available globally, this expanded enablement resource means Jitterbit’s channel community can quickly answer customer questions across a vast array of topics and use time-proven shortcuts to speed up implementations.

Design, Source AI Agents within AI-Infused Harmony Platform

According to a recent Jitterbit survey, 69% of UK and US enterprises are not currently set up to deliver agentic AI — presenting a huge opportunity for those across the IT industry looking to offer these services.

Rather than relying on ‘off the shelf’ or ‘sameware’ tech offerings to meet this growing demand, enterprises are increasingly turning to Jitterbit Harmony to take full control of their own AI-infused future.

“The market we operate in is more dynamic and fast-paced than ever before,” said Taglioretti. “Businesses are increasingly relying on technology to drive their success, and the demand for innovative, scalable solutions has reached new heights. Agentic AI is not just a trend — it’s a massive wave of opportunity, and together, we are perfectly positioned to ride it.”

MIL-OSI Russia: Investments in the acquisition of finished commercial real estate in Moscow have grown by almost 80 percent

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

In January-March 2025, investments in the purchase of finished commercial real estate in Moscow amounted to 164 billion rubles. This is almost 80 percent more than the same period in 2024, reported Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

“The main investors are large corporations and banks, for which the purchase of real estate for offices and headquarters is a profitable long-term investment, especially in the context of rising rental rates and a limited supply of quality space. In January-March 2025, investments in completed commercial real estate in the capital amounted to 164 billion rubles. Moscow accounted for 89 percent of all transactions with completed commercial real estate in the country in the first quarter – nine percentage points more than in January-March 2024,” noted Maria Bagreeva.

Investments in commercial real estate construction also increased significantly in the first quarter of 2025. According to the Investment Projects digital platform, 371 projects worth 1.9 trillion rubles were in the active implementation stage at the beginning of April 2025. Compared to the first quarter of last year, the volume of investments increased by 26 percent.

Almost half of these funds were invested in the construction of multifunctional complexes that combine several types of real estate. Among them are offices, as well as retail and entertainment areas. Another quarter of the investment went to the construction of apartments, which began even before the introduction of restrictions on the launch of new projects in this area last fall. A fifth of the investment is aimed at the construction of logistics facilities, shopping centers and entertainment complexes. New commercial properties are being built mainly in the northwestern part of the capital.

According to Maria Bagreeva, active investments in commercial real estate make the urban environment more saturated, efficient and accessible. Multifunctional complexes attract city residents, as they represent modern spaces, next to which there is housing, work, recreation and familiar services. This helps to reduce pendulum mobility, increases the convenience of life and saves city residents’ time.

The development of commercial development is accompanied by the improvement of territories, modernization of transport infrastructure and the emergence of new public spaces. As a result, investments in real estate not only work for the economy, but also improve the quality of urban life – from the comfort of travel to a variety of services and convenience in everyday life.

In the first quarter of this year, the city sold more than 420 commercial premises

On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is paying special attention to the quality of construction of business infrastructure facilities.

“Currently, Mosgosstroynadzor supervises over 60 commercial infrastructure facilities with a total area of over 1.6 million square meters. Among the most iconic are the Sberbank headquarters on Kutuzovsky Prospekt and the new dominant building next to Moscow City – the iCITY business center, in which the construction of the second 61-story building is being completed. Innovative technologies and thoughtful functionality embodied in these buildings serve as a clear confirmation of the capital’s status as a world-class business center,” added the chairman of the capital’s Committee for State Construction Supervision (Mosgosstroynadzor). Anton Slobodchikov.

MIL-OSI China: Chinese journeyman reaches Club World Cup

Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

The silence in the Auckland City locker room stretched for 24 suffocating hours after its 10-0 defeat to European giant Bayern Munich in its Club World Cup opener.

For veteran Chinese winger Zhou Tong and his semiprofessional teammates, it was not just a loss, but a profound reckoning.

“Although challenging the mighty is an honor, a 10-0 scoreline is a disgrace for any footballer,” Zhou said, the weight of the result palpable, even days later. “Privately, we discussed how we could do better, how to give our all against these giants.”

Yet, for the 35-year-old, the only Chinese player among the 32 elite clubs in the United States, the burden carries an extra dimension.

Zhou Tong (front) spent five years with Dalian Aerbin from 2009-2014, during which Dalian was promoted to China’s top-tier league after winning the championship in second-tier league in 2010. (Xinhua/Zhang Chenlin)

“It’s a heavy burden, but first and foremost, it’s an honor,” Zhou said, reflecting on his unique status representing a nation of billions. “When people talk, it might not be ‘Zhou Tong’, but ‘that player from China’, so, every word, every action, every performance on the pitch needs to project positivity. I demand more of myself.”

This unexpected chapter, facing Bayern, Benfica and Boca Juniors on soccer’s grandest club stage, began not on a manicured pitch, but over coffee in Auckland.

In 2023, Zhou and his family moved to New Zealand, primarily for his wife’s studies. Soccer seemed an afterthought until a friend intervened. “He said: ‘It’s a pity you’re not playing.’ My form in 2022 was actually quite good,” Zhou recalled.

A connection was then made with Auckland City FC. Club president Ivan Vuksich reviewed his CV and requested a meeting. “His sincerity and approachability gave me a lot of motivation,” Zhou said. “Plus, Auckland City plays in the Club World Cup. I wanted to keep playing.” The deal was sealed in the time it takes to drink a coffee.

Zhou experienced China’s “Golden Yuan Soccer Era”, when he played for clubs like Dalian Aerbin and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger during a time of explosive, unsustainable spending that temporarily raised the Chinese Super League’s (CSL) global profile from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s, but left deep financial and structural problems. For him, New Zealand’s regional Northern League was a stark transition.

“The sense of disparity is real,” Zhou admitted, contrasting Auckland crowds of “five or six hundred “for crucial Oceania qualifiers with CSL attendances “exceeding 20,000 on average”.

Yet, his perspective transformed after he had experienced the extremes: FIFA charter jets for the Club World Cup juxtaposed with bumping along in a “500,000-kilometer-old minibus” on potholed roads to play in Vanuatu, a South Pacific nation where “the tallest building was three stories high, and there were no streetlights”.

“Having seen the splendor and the remotest corners of soccer, I realize its power transcends words or money,” Zhou reflected, his voice gaining intensity. “Soccer connects people, changes lives, opens eyes to the world. That’s its magic, like a universal language.”

His understanding fuels his dual role as both a player and community coach for Auckland City, where he’s now nurturing the next generation.

“Tong does a wonderful job,” Vuksich said. “His nature, his personality is just perfect for that. All the young kids he’s involved with, they love him absolutely.”

Club general manager Gordon Watson echoed the sentiment, describing Zhou as “charismatic, funny and hardworking”, highlighting his calming influence and very positive energy.

“Tong is approachable, friendly, very patient and very understanding. And he has empathy — a lot of empathy — for children,” Watson specifically noted Zhou’s impact at a coaching clinic at King’s College. “He’s able to communicate (soccer intelligence) in a way that children and youth players can safely understand.”

This focus on youth development aligns perfectly with the club’s ambitious plans for its Club World Cup windfall, a guaranteed $3.58 million according to FIFA, plus potential win bonuses. Watson detailed a partnership with Mount Roskill Intermediate School, serving a diverse community with many new immigrants.

“We bring soccer as a tool for holistic development, helping with integration,” Watson explained, adding that the prize money will fund an all-weather pitch with floodlights and an admin building.

“When it rains and the field is wet, we cannot train. Children do not come to school,” Watson said, outlining the project’s profound social goals to improve attendance, channel energy positively and, ultimately, foster better citizens.

“It’s got to be long term. Cultural integration happens. We recognize we can play a role,” Watson added.

For Zhou, coaching offers fresh perspective and pure joy. “The biggest takeaway for me is that I can view soccer from a different angle,” he explained. “The other big one is happiness. Being with kids, 11 or 12 years old, or even eight or nine, they are like blank paper. If they win a match, I’m happier than when I win myself.”

He sees soccer’s respect embodied even in Bayern’s ruthless efficiency. “At 85 minutes, Thomas Muller was shouting at their young players: ‘Speed up the tempo! Defensive positioning! Quicker passes! Faster transitions!’ They respect soccer, and that means respecting opponents and fans.”

Facing giants like Bayern laid bare the gulf between the sides, but Zhou found perspective in the fight itself. “The gap was obvious. We focused heavily on defensive training,” he said. “My personal adjustment was to cherish every touch, cherish every attack and defense, treat it like a major exam.”

While the 10-0 scoreline initially silenced the squad, Zhou stressed their resolve: “For us, we focus on doing our best in every single play.”

His journey, from the pressures of Chinese soccer to family life in Auckland, and now to this global stage, feels surreal.

“Life is truly wondrous and unpredictable,” Zhou mused. “Three years ago, I never imagined coming to New Zealand, let alone playing in the Club World Cup. The brave enjoy the world.”

Defining his career as unpredictable, hard work and the result of stubbornness, Zhou explained the latter: “If I believe something is right, I persist to the end. If I believe something shouldn’t be done, I absolutely won’t do it.”

This stubbornness also reflects his core: “Pure soccer, and love for it. Whether I become a coach, a club operator, or an event organizer, the essence remains — soccer.”

MIL-OSI China: Xi meets Singaporean PM, calling for boosting China-Singapore cooperation

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in Beijing on Tuesday.

Xi congratulated Wong on his second term in office. Noting that this year marks the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, Xi highlighted that the two sides have consistently upheld mutual understanding and respect, which has provided a solid foundation for the stable and healthy development of bilateral relations.

Cooperation between the two countries has aligned with China’s development priorities at various stages, yielding substantial outcomes such as the Suzhou Industrial Park, significantly contributing to each country’s modernization efforts, and also setting a benchmark for cooperation among regional nations, Xi noted.

He called on both sides to draw experience and wisdom from the development process of bilateral relations, inherit and carry forward fine traditions, and enable the tree of China-Singapore friendship to thrive and bear abundant fruits.

Xi emphasized that China and Singapore should firmly grasp the general direction of bilateral friendship, and continuously observe and develop China-Singapore relations from a strategic height and a long-term perspective.

He called for consolidating the political foundation of China-Singapore friendship, supporting each other’s core interests and major concerns, and enhancing political mutual trust to facilitate the development of bilateral relations.

China welcomes Singapore’s continued deep engagement in China’s development, Xi said, calling on both sides to promote Belt and Road cooperation, create landmark achievements in areas such as digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence, promote the improvement and upgrading of major projects, and continue to write a new chapter in high-quality cooperation.

Both sides should encourage frequent people-to-people exchanges to deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation and strengthen the popular support for China-Singapore friendship, Xi said.

China has always believed that peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit are the unstoppable trend of the times, Xi said, adding that the world must not revert to hegemonism or be dragged back to the law of the jungle.

China is willing to work with Singapore to stand on the right side of history and uphold fairness and justice, and jointly advocate for an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, Xi added.

Wong said that Singapore and China share a deep-rooted and enduring friendship, and the two sides have always respected and trusted each other, ensuring the stable development of bilateral relations and close cooperation.

Singapore will continue to adhere to the one-China policy and oppose “Taiwan independence,” Wong said.

Singapore stands ready to fully leverage the opportunities brought about by China’s prosperity and development, expand bilateral trade and investment, enhance cooperation in digital economy, artificial intelligence, new energy and other fields, strengthen people-to-people exchanges, and advance Singapore-China relations to new heights, Wong said.

In the face of a turbulent global landscape, Singapore is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with China on regional and multilateral platforms to jointly uphold multilateralism and the international order, Wong added.

MIL-Evening Report: Wild swings in the oil price make the Reserve Bank’s job harder

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By John Hawkins, Head, Canberra School of Government, University of Canberra

It looks, at least for now, as though tensions in the Middle East are easing somewhat. It appears much less likely Iran will try to close the
Strait of Hormuz, through which flows about a fifth of the world’s oil.

In response, oil prices have dropped to a two-week low below US$70 a barrel.

The economists at the Reserve Bank will be breathing a sigh of relief. A surge in oil prices would have injected more uncertainty into the global outlook. It would have made a decision on whether to cut interest rates in July harder.

Financial markets are betting on a rate cut at the July 7–8 meeting, but three of the four major bank economists are tipping August as more likely.

A tough global backdrop

The global economic environment is particularly challenging. Even before the recent increased tensions in the Middle East, the Trump tariff announcements (and withdrawals and re-impositions) were the major cause of the uncertainty around the domestic economy.

And there is a lot of “uncertainty”. Journalist Shane Wright noted the word “uncertain” appeared 134 times in the Reserve Bank’s latest Statement on Monetary Policy. Something similar has been noted in the United Kingdom.

There have been wild swings in the oil price in recent days. There was a surge on market fears Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz. The price slid when a ceasefire was announced. It rose again when the ceasefire was broken within hours. As the fragile truce appeared to hold, the price of oil has now gone back down.

Assumptions on the oil price

Forecasting where it will be in a day or week, let alone in a month or a year, is difficult. But economic forecasts underlying monetary policy decisions need to incorporate some view. The Reserve Bank generally assumes the oil price stays at its current level in the short term. It then uses the price in forward contracts as a basis for its forecasts beyond that.

A sustained jump in oil prices would have posed quite a dilemma for the Reserve Bank.

Generally a shock that adds to inflation would lead to the bank raising interest rates. In contrast, a shock that weakens economic activity would lead to the Bank lowering rates.

But a surge in oil prices would likely both increase inflation (by pushing up petrol prices) and weaken activity (by disrupting world trade and eroding consumers’ purchasing power).

If the oil price surge was expected to be short-lived, it is unlikely to get baked into inflationary expectations. The bank would then probably disregard it. But assessing the longevity of disruptions to the global oil market is not easy.

Monthly inflation drops to 2.1%

On Wednesday, the monthly consumer price index (CPI) fell to 2.1% in May from 2.4% in April. This is the equal lowest level since March 2001.

But the monthly reading will probably not impress RBA Governor Michele Bullock. In her most recent press conference, she commented that “we get four readings on inflation a year”, referring to the quarterly inflation reports. She was dismissive of what she termed “the monthly indicator which is very volatile”.

In taking its decisions, the bank often relies on an underlying inflation measure called the “trimmed mean”. This excludes items with the largest price movements up or down, so it removes petrol prices when they move by large amounts. This measure was 2.4% in the monthly report.

Petrol prices are also a significant contributor to the volatility of the monthly CPI.

Further cuts are likely

Both headline and underlying inflation are now within the central bank’s 2–3% target range. In its most recent outlook, the Reserve Bank forecast underlying inflation would remain in the target band, even if it made another two cuts in rates this year.

So a further interest rate cut remains likely. If it doesn’t cut in July, the bank could wait for the next quarterly inflation report on July 30, and then cut at the August 12 meeting.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers described the global economy as being “in a pretty dangerous place right now”.

“There’s a lot of volatility, unpredictability, uncertainty in the global economy,” he said. That is one thing that is not uncertain.

John Hawkins was formerly a senior economist at the Reserve Bank.

MIL-OSI Australia: Headline and underlying inflation in the bottom half of the band

Source: Australian Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry

New figures from the ABS show that headline and underlying inflation are now both in the bottom half of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target band for the first time since August 2021.

In the face of heightened global economic uncertainty, it’s very pleasing to see the progress we’ve made on inflation is substantial and now sustained.

Both headline and underlying inflation fell by more than expected in today’s data.

Headline inflation was 2.1 per cent through the year to May 2025, down from 2.4 per cent in April.

Headline inflation is almost half of what it was in May last year and is at its lowest level since March 2021.

Annual trimmed mean inflation was 2.4 per cent through the year to May 2025, down from 2.8 per cent in April.

Underlying inflation is at its lowest level since November 2021 and has returned to the middle of the RBA’s target band.

Underlying inflation has been in the RBA’s band for six consecutive months. This is the first time this has happened since the monthly inflation series began in 2018.

It was also encouraging to see services inflation moderate substantially to 3.3 per cent through the year to May 2025, down from 4.1 per cent in April.

We know these monthly numbers are volatile, but today’s data shows we’ve made substantial and sustained progress on inflation.

This progress means Australia is better placed and better prepared than other countries for heightened economic uncertainty and volatility around the world.

The Australian economy is not immune from instability in the Middle East, including from the recent volatility in global oil prices.

That’s why the progress we have made together in the economy is so important. No major advanced economy has achieved what we have with unemployment in the low 4s, inflation below 2.5 per cent and the economy continuing to grow.

Electricity prices fell 5.9 per cent in the year to May but would have increased 2.0 per cent without the energy rebates for every household we are rolling out with the states.

Rents rose 4.5 per cent in the year but would have increased 5.7 per cent without the recent increases to Commonwealth Rent Assistance.

Under Labor, inflation is down substantially, real wages are up, unemployment is low, our economy is growing, debt is down and interest rates are falling.

Even with this substantial progress and two interest rate cuts in three months, we know people are still under pressure and we face global economic headwinds.

That’s why the Albanese Labor Government is delivering more real, practical and ongoing help with the cost of living for Australians, with more support set to roll out from Tuesday next week.

MIL-Evening Report: Joh: The Last King of Queensland captures Bjelke-Petersen’s political persona – but omits key details of the story

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By John Mickel, Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Justice, Queensland University of Technology

Stan

The new documentary film Joh: The Last King of Queensland offers a dramatised account of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s premiership from 1968 to 1987.

Directed by Kriv Stenders, using reenactments (Bjelke-Petersen is played by Richard Roxburgh), archival footage and contemporary interviews, the film portrays him as a complex and polarising figure.

We are given a man who is socially conservative, economically ambitious and politically divisive. A man who profoundly shaped Queensland’s governance and development.

But while the film effectively captures his popular appeal and role in the state’s economic transformation, it simplifies key aspects of his political ascent.

In particular, it doesn’t capture the complexities of electoral mechanics, internal party maneuvering and the influence of the public service.

National Party dominance

We start with Bjelke-Petersen’s rural upbringing. Stenders emphasises the formative impact of his Lutheran faith, personal abstinence, strong work ethic and family values. These would be foundational to his leadership style.

Roxburgh highlights Bjelke-Petersen’s rhetorical simplicity. He presented himself as an advocate for “ordinary” Queenslanders, especially in rural and conservative communities.

A central critique of Bjelke-Petersen was his manipulation of Queensland’s electoral system.

The film illustrates how electoral malapportionment advantaged rural constituencies, fuelling the National Party’s dominance. But this treatment lacks nuance.

Richard Roxburgh plays Joh Bjelke-Petersen, highlighting his rhetorical simplicity.
Stan

Former MP David Byrne’s claim that Bjelke-Petersen remained premier solely due to the electoral system is presented uncritically.

The National Party outpolled the Liberals from 1977 on. Labor failed to win a statewide majority until 1989, under boundaries drawn by Bjelke-Petersen’s administration in 1986.

The narrative also omits the fact that electoral bias originated under earlier Labor governments.

While Roxburgh’s character mentions this legacy, his claim that there was “not a peep” of dissent overlooks sustained criticism from opposition leader Frank Nicklin throughout the 1950s.

The party apparatus

The film omits several key figures whose contributions were instrumental to the success of the Bjelke-Petersen era.

The organisational acumen of National Party president Robert Sparkes and state secretary Mike Evans played a critical role in constructing a highly efficient party apparatus.

Through the coordination of financial resources and the strategic mobilisation of grassroots support, Sparkes and Evans substantially reinforced Bjelke-Petersen’s leadership and electoral resilience.

Also excluded are prominent members of the premier’s personal staff, such as media advisor Allen Callaghan and policy researcher Wendy Armstrong. Both contributed significantly to shaping public messaging and policy development.

Bjelke-Petersen was premier of Queensland from 1968 to 1987.
Stan

We do not hear about the contributions of senior public servants such as Sydney Schubert, coordinator-general, and Leo Hielscher, under-treasurer.

Schubert was instrumental in expediting infrastructure development across the state. Hielscher ensured Queensland maintained its AAA credit rating and successfully attracted international investment.

These administrative achievements were central to the state’s economic growth.

Bjelke-Petersen was frequently detached from the formal processes of cabinet and Westminster governance. But his reliance on a capable and loyal bureaucracy underscores a distinct, if unconventional, mode of operation.

This model, characterised by strong administrative delegation, contributed to the longevity and effectiveness of his premiership.

Winning seats, suppressing rights

The film addresses his opposition to the Whitlam government and his promotion of states’ rights. Both cemented his popularity. It highlights his decision to abolish death duties – a move that allowed him to present a low-tax, pro-development agenda.

Bjelke-Petersen’s authoritarian style is explored through archival footage of the 1971 protests during South Africa’s rugby tour of Australia. But the film fails to contextualise electoral reaction.

The government won seats, including central Brisbane and Maryborough, in by-elections held at the height of the protest activity.

His later suppression of civil liberties, particularly against students, unions and Indigenous activists, is acknowledged.

Corruption flourished under Bjelke-Petersen’s administration due to insufficient oversight and a permissive political culture.
Stan

The depiction of the “Joh for PM” campaign presents it as a significant strategic miscalculation. Stenders illustrates the limits of Bjelke-Petersen’s political judgement beyond the state level.

Investigative journalist Chris Masters is interviewed about his role in creating the Four Corners exposé which served as a catalyst for the Fitzgerald Inquiry (1987–89).

This inquiry uncovered extensive political and police corruption. It exposed entrenched institutional malpractice, and contributed decisively to the erosion of Bjelke-Petersen’s political legitimacy.

Such corruption was longstanding and predated Bjelke-Petersen’s tenure. It flourished under his administration due to insufficient oversight and a permissive political culture.

Emotional resonance, but not fully nuanced

While the film suggests that Bjelke-Petersen was never personally corrupt (and he was never convicted of any criminal offence) it omits a pivotal episode in his political downfall.

According to journalist Matthew Condon, Springwood MP Huan Fraser publicly accused the Premier of corruption during a 1987 National Party meeting.

Fraser’s confrontation, reportedly triggered by Bjelke-Petersen’s push to approve what was then the world’s tallest building, marked a significant rupture within the party.

The proposed project symbolised growing concerns about impropriety and unchecked executive power during his premiership.

Joh: The Last King of Queensland succeeds in capturing the emotional resonance of Bjelke-Petersen’s political persona. But it stops short of delivering a fully nuanced account.

His legacy continues to polarise. To supporters, he remains a visionary who championed economic growth and conservative values. To critics, he presided over an era of democratic erosion, civil rights suppression and entrenched corruption.

His story reflects the enduring tension between executive authority and democratic accountability in modern Australian political history.

Joh: The Last King of Queensland is on Stan now.
