At a Union Price Stability Committee meeting held in Nay Pyi Taw on Thursday, Union Minister for Planning and Finance U Win Shein said the government plans to disburse 688 billion kyats (US$327.61 million) in agricultural loans for over 5 million acres of land in the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the report said.

Coca-Cola earnings, revenue beat expectations, cane sugar soda to hit U.S. fall market
NEW YORK, July 22 (Xinhua) -- The Coca-Cola Company reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter (Q2) earnings and revenue Tuesday, as robust demand in Europe helped offset weaker sales volumes in other regions. The company posted net income of 3.81 billion U.S. dollars, or 88 cents per share, up from 2.41 billion dollars or 56 cents per share a year ago. Excluding one-time charges and restructuring costs, adjusted earnings came in at 87 cents per share in Q2, topping analyst expectations of 83 cents, according to London Stock Exchange Group data. Adjusted revenue reached 12.62 billion dollars in the quarter ending June 27, above the expected 12.54 billion dollars. Global unit case volume fell 1 percent, signaling a decline in actual demand when pricing effects are stripped out. Every business segment saw shrinking volumes, except for Europe, Middle East and Africa. Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey acknowledged that economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions have dented consumer sentiment in some markets. But he also noted sequential improvements in demand in key regions such as the United States and Europe compared to the first quarter. The company now plans to introduce a version of its namesake cola made with cane sugar in the United States this fall, which was also announced Tuesday. The move marks a reversal of the 1980s switch to high-fructose corn syrup, which had been driven by cost-saving efforts. The move is expected to increase manufacturing expenses and shorten product shelf life. The company already sells a cane sugar variant, which is often called "Mexican Coke" in the U.S. market. The company narrowed its full-year growth forecast of earnings per share to 3 percent, and reaffirmed its projection for 5 percent to 6 percent organic revenue growth in 2025. Its shares were moderately down by midday Tuesday.

IMF first deputy managing director Gopinath to leave post in August
WASHINGTON, July 22 (Xinhua) -- International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said Monday that Gita Gopinath, IMF's first deputy managing director, would be leaving the fund at the end of August to return to Harvard University. Gopinath joined the IMF in January 2019 as chief economist -- the first woman to serve in that role -- and was promoted to first deputy managing director in January 2022. Gopinath, who had left Harvard University to join the IMF, will return to the university as a professor of economics in the department of economics. Calling Gopinath "an outstanding colleague -- an exceptional intellectual leader," Georgieva said that "her analytical rigor was paired with practical policy advice to the membership during an especially challenging period, which included the pandemic, wars, the cost-of-living crisis, and major shifts in the global trading system." A successor to Gopinath is expected to be named "in due course" by Georgieva, according to an IMF statement. Traditionally, European countries have selected the fund's managing director, while the U.S. Treasury Department has played a key role in recommending candidates for the position of first deputy managing director -- widely regarded as the number two position in the organization's leadership hierarchy.

Abang Johari: Federal-state ties remain strong for Sarawak's progress
MIRI: Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg has reiterated that the close cooperation between the state and federal governments would continue in the common interests of both the country and Sarawak. He said the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government, which he leads, appreciates the cooperation currently enjoyed between the state and the federal government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. "In fact, at the federal level, Sarawak is represented by a deputy prime minister, namely Datuk Sri Fadillah Yusof, in addition to other ministers from Sarawak," he said in his speech at the Sarawak Day celebration here yesterday. He expressed confidence that Sarawak's efforts to achieve greater prosperity would not undermine the wider national objective of advancing the country's overall development. He said the increase in Sarawak's revenue, particularly through the Sarawak Sales Tax (SST), would not diminish the country's revenue as the federal government has sufficient avenues to boost national income without burdening the people. Abang Johari said the GPS government would continue to fight for Sarawak's rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) through ongoing negotiations with Putrajaya. "Sarawak has successfully regained nine rights under MA63 and the GPS government will continue its efforts to restore all rights that have been eroded over the years," he said. He noted that Sarawak started as a state with many shortcomings and widespread poverty, especially in rural areas, during the formation of Malaysia. "Now we are grateful that Sarawak's economy has shown very encouraging growth," he said, adding that last year Sarawak recorded its highest ever revenue of RM14 billion compared to RM13.3 billion in 2023. He said this year he had presented the largest budget in Sarawak's history amounting to RM15.8 billion, opening up opportunities for a more inclusive economy. "Under the powers provided by the Federal Constitution, the state has begun to enjoy more of its oil and gas revenues through the SST imposed on petroleum products as well as through profit sharing between Petronas and Petros," he said. The premier said the World Bank had recognised Sarawak as a high-income region for three consecutive years since 2022 based on a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of RM73,100 (US$17,000) in 2024, a figure that surpasses the threshold of RM63,800 (US$15,000) set by the bank. He said this status had placed Sarawak in fourth position after the Kuala Lumpur and Labuan and Penang, surpassing Selangor. He said the state government would continue to ensure Sarawak's resources are given added value through the creation of downstream industries, particularly in the oil and gas sector, guided by the long-term Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR). He expressed confidence that when fully implemented within 10 years the SGR would attract investments worth RM300 billion and generate RM120 billion in output from the product and service chain. "New industries will also be created, especially in the renewable energy sector, to generate up to 15,000 megawatts of energy by 2035, not only for domestic consumption but also for export to Asean countries," he said.
