South Korea Passes Expanded Extra Budget Before Tariff Deadline

South Korea Passes Expanded Extra Budget Before Tariff Deadline

Bloomberg4 hours ago
South Korea's parliament approved a 31.8 trillion won ($23.3 billion) extra budget as new President Lee Jae Myung seeks to revive an economy struggling with weak consumption and mounting trade risks from US tariffs.
The figure is up from the 30.5 trillion won initially proposed by the government, with more money allocated for cash coupon handouts, the Finance Ministry said. Of the overall figure, 10.3 trillion won is set aside to cover revenue shortfalls for this year's existing budget, as taxation income fell due to weak corporate performance and subdued consumer spending.

Mexico temporarily hands CIBanco, Intercam trust businesses to development banks

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico will temporarily transfer the trust-handling businesses of two financial institutions sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged involvement in money laundering, the finance ministry said on Friday. Mexican development banks will temporarily take over the trust units of CIBanco and Intercam Banco, while the ministry looks for a permanent solution to transfer them over to private institutions, it said in a statement. The transfer will allow "the trusts to continue operating uninterrupted, for the benefit of their settlors, beneficiaries, and third parties involved," the ministry said.
