Greece's Current Account Deficit Narrows To €0.6 Billion In June
Greece's current account deficit narrowed to €0.603 billion in June, down from €0.,96 billion the previous year, according to data from the Bank of Greece. This improvement reflects a stronger performance in the services sector and reduced trade gap. The reduction was primarily driven by a decreased trade deficit, as exports rose while imports grew at a slower pace. The services balance, which includes tourism and shipping, remained a key contributor. The smaller deficit is a positive signal for Greece's external position, reducing reliance on foreign financing and supporting its investment-grade status. Economists view this trend as consistent with Greece's recovery from the debt crisis, but caution that global trade uncertainties and energy price volatility could affect future readings.

Founder of collapsed Chinese property giant given life sentence
A Chinese court has sentenced founder Hui Ka Yan to life in prison for multiple crimes, almost five years after Evergrande collapsed. The Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court also fined Evergrandee 8.8 billion renminbi (€1.1 billion) and Evergrandé Real Estate, its mainland business, Rmb7 billion. Hui, who was China's richest person in 2017, was found guilty of charges including embezzlement of assets and bribery. The court found that he violated national laws and regulations by fabricating financial statements to inflate assets and conceal liabilities. Evergrando was the world's most indebted developer at the time of its international default in 2021, with liabilities of over $300 billion. The company was delisted last summer and is now in the process of being liquidated in Hong Kong.
