Download or read book Reality Check written by Roberta Gatti and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle East and North Africa economies face an uncertain recovery. The war in Ukraine presents significant challenges to the global economy and the MENA region. Inflationary pressures brought about by the pandemic are likely to be further exacerbated by the conflict. The potential for rising food prices is even higher, which is likely to hurt the wallets of the poor and vulnerable in the region. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a shadow. As the latest variant sweeps over the region, countries grapple with a host of problems depending on initial conditions and policy priorities. The region, like the rest of the world, is not out of the woods yet. Vaccinations remain the effective path out of the pandemic, leading to lower hospitalizations and death rates. Testing helps curb the spread. During times of uncertainty, it is important to not be overconfident about the region’s growth prospects. Growth forecasts serve as a significant signpost for policymakers to chart a path forward. Over the last decade, growth forecasts in the MENA region have often been inaccurate and overly optimistic, which can lead to economic contractions down the road due to ebullient borrowing. There is considerable room for the region to improve its forecasts that are largely hindered by opaque data systems, growth volatility and conflict. The MENA region lags considerably in the timely production of credible statistics. A key finding of the report is that the best way to improve forecasters is to provide forecasters with as much good quality information as possible.
Download or read book Malta written by International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note on banking supervision for Malta focusses on selected topics in relation to the supervision of less significant institutions, which are not directly supervised by the European Central Bank, and on non-European Union branches. The Malta Financial Services Authority’s (MFSA) internal organization reflects its role of an integrated supervisor, and several units are involved in supervision and/or enforcement. Review of supervisory measures reveals that the MFSA has taken decisive action in several instances, but such actions have not been timely. A new organizational structure of the MFSA has been proposed recently. Developing resources devoted to enforcement will enable the unit to spend less time on the preparation of the sanctions and more time on ongoing supervisory monitoring. Involving the head of enforcement and the General Counsel in the decision-making process is positive. The report recommends developing a five-year plan to increase the MFSA’s budgetary resources and capacity to reflect the size and importance of the financial sector in Malta.

The survey ratings and narrative reports on 195 countries and fifteen territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

Download or read book The Maltese Messiah written by John D. Loscher and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon discovering the Maltese Order possesses the Holy Grail, God will be revealed to Cardinal-Archbishop Conor O’Griffin, Papal Nuncio to the Knights of Malta, in a laboratory of science and technology specializing in genetic engineering. Learning how the cup used to celebrate the first communion ultimately served as a receptacle for the blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the Vatican ambassador witnesses DNA extraction. Via cloning, the Second Coming of Christ is at hand. For Cardinal-Archbishop O’Griffin, this scientific achievement creates a moral dilemma: yes, the use of technology in order to create life makes science, not God, the creator; but, with all of man’s genius, can science also successfully replicate Jesus of Nazareth’s spirit? Is spirit part of human DNA or is it something else? Seeking answers for these questions compels the Holy See’s diplomat to answer a far more basic question: How will he answer to God?
