This week, Canada backed a UN resolution calling for an unconditional “ceasefire” in Gaza that would effectively leave Hamas in place.

For more than two years, the global economic debate has been all about rising prices, rising interest rates, and the possibility of a recession and rising unemployment. Once 2023 is over, that long debate will end. In both Australia and the United States, underlying inflation peaked more than a year ago. It has been on a downward trend since then.

Some were deadly. The agency says its investigation…

That's because major central banks have tightened monetary policy much more than previously expected, given the very stubborn inflation that prevails. Interestingly, however, the impact of these tight monetary policies on growth has been limited, and both the US and the euro area, especially the former, have avoided recession.
