We, as a leading telecommunications operator across our global footprint, have a responsibility to contribute to the industry in which we operate, and a responsibility to share our experiences for the benefit of human development and of our economy, and we were proud to join our peers and our economic leaders at this key forum.”

Participants shared their thoughts on a number of pressing issues facing the telecommunications industry and the wider world of technology and innovation.

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)
Dhaka: Prior to the pandemic, the worldwide travel and tourism industry accounted for just over 10 per cent of global GDP. After a difficult 2020 and 2021, with, some false starts in the industry due to new variants of Covid-19, tourism is almost at a similar level now.
Julia Simpson, President and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) said this at the global summit held in Riyadh from November 28 to December 1.
'Travel and tourism globally used to generate about USD 9.6 trillion (EUR 9.3 trillion) globally, and at this end of this year we'll be back to about USD 8.4 – USD 8.5 trillion (EUR 8.1-EUR 8.2 trillion). And you might say, well, there's still a big trillion-dollar deficit there, but actually a lot of that is China. And China has yet to reopen.”
As previously, it is cities that are driving this. According to a report released by the WTTC, 82 international city destinations that were analysed accounted for almost half of all international visits, both as standalone destinations and as gateways to other tourism hotspots within countries.
Even amidst three difficult years, some cities have now surpassed their previous tourist revenue. In Europe, for example, Warsaw is expected to witness a significant 14 per cent increase in Travel and Tourism's contribution to the city's GDP, compared with 2019 levels.
Meanwhile, in the US, Orlando is projected to see a 10 per cent over that same period.
As the pandemic's effects further reduce and people's concerns about mixing in public and in small places reduce, tourism may continue to benefit.

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) By Sana Elouazi Rabat - The legal advisor of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) said in a legal opinion issued on Wednesday that fisheries agreement concluded between the EU and Morocco was "invalid" because 'it applies to Western Sahara and its adjacent waters." 'The EU has failed to fulfill its obligation not to recognize the illegal situation resulting from the breach, by Morocco, of the right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination and also not to render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation,' Melchior Wathelet said in a statement. Wathelet said the EU had also 'not put in place the safeguards necessary to ensure that the exploitation of the natural resources of Western Sahara is for the benefit of the people of that territory.' 'The fisheries exploitation by the EU of the waters adjacent to Western Sahara established and implemented by the contested acts does not respect the right of the people of Western Sahara to self-determination,' Wathelet said. The legal advisor's opinion came after a British pro-Polisario group filed a complaint to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) claiming that companies operating on the coast of the Sahara must negotiate with Tindouf, not Rabat. In late May, the European Commission for Fisheries reaffirmed that Western Sahara and its waters are included in the fisheries agreement between the European Union and Morocco. The decision came in response to a question by 13 members of the European Parliament, who called into question the applicability of the agreement in the Sahara, calling into doubt the consent of the 'people of Western Sahara, as well as the legality of the agreement.' 'The waters off the coast of Western Sahara are included in the fisheries agreement between the Union and Morocco,' said Karmenu Vella, the European Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and fisheries, in his response to the MPs' questions in June 2017. The official also noted that the agreement contains 'provisions to ensure that the agreement fully respects international law' and serves the interests of all the populations"

(MENAFN- AFP) Croatian lawmakers Friday fixed the Swiss franc's rate for loans for one year at the level it was before the currency's shocking surge last week, in a bid to help 60,000 struggling borrowers in Croatia.
According to amendments to the Consumer Loan Act the franc's rate for payments of loans was fixed at 6.39 kunas (0.83 euros, $0.93) for a year. The banks were to bear the costs estimated by the Croatian Central Bank (HNB) at some 52 million euros.
The amendments had been proposed by Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic's centre-left government.
The Croatian Banking Association (HUB) earlier voiced surprise with the government's decision and warned that it "puts the burden on one side only."
Some 90 percent of Croatia's banking sector is controlled by foreign banks.
Milanovic, who faces parliamentary elections later this year, on Wednesday pledged a lasting solution over the issue and said his government would also review possible conversion of home loans into Croatia's kuna currency.
But HNB warned that the possible conversion of home loans in Swiss francs into kunas would reduce Croatia's international reserves by 30 percent.
Meanwhile, an association of borrowers holding loans in Swiss francs called on Croatians to light candles in front of all banks throughout the Balkan country at the weekend for the "victims of the Swiss franc and all other loan-shark credits."
Switzerland's central bank last week ended a three-year bid to artificially hold down the franc's value. The sharp rise in the franc wreaked havoc on global markets and bankrupted several foreign exchange traders.
Since then Croatia's kuna currency has fallen by nearly 20 percent against the Swiss franc.
More than 100,000 people in Croatia took out loans denominated in Swiss francs, almost three-quarters of which were to buy homes. Some 60,000 of the loans are still outstanding.
Swiss franc loans became popular in several central European countries in the 2000s when they offered lower interest rates than local currencies.
Croatia joined the European Union in 2013, but has yet to adopt the euro.

(MENAFNEditorial) CHICAGO, April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Windsor Life Settlements, LLC unveiled their ” ” with the goal of helping all life insurance policyholders get an instant estimate of their policy’s value on the secondary market. Currently, the majority of people who own life insurance policies are unaware that they can sell their policy for cash to a third party.
In addition to providing instant estimates for policyholders, Windsor has also produced educational resources like the “Ultimate Guide To Life Settlements” with a two-part goal:
The following statement was released today by Ken Kelly, CEO Windsor Life Settlements through his personal attorney Matt Kaufman and media manager Nick Napoli of The Object Group located in Chicago, IL in response to the need for increased consumer awareness of the ‘life settlement’ option for life insurance policyholders.
“Though consumer awareness is slowly on the rise, the fact is that in 2017 alone, approximately $112B in life insurance policies simply lapsed, meaning people are simply discarding extremely valuable assets that could otherwise financially benefit them and their families. It is a terrible shame, especially considering folks seeking life settlements often have a serious need for cash to cover medical expenses and retirement needs.Our job as a broker is to assist people by making them aware of all their options, including options outside of the life settlement space. One such option is an “Accelerated Death Benefit”. This approach is how the industry establishes trust, which is always the first step in raising consumer awareness.”

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - Emissions resulting from human activities, especially in transport, manufacturing and energy sectors, which burn fossil fuels, as well as dust storms and airborne pollutants, have taken a toll on air quality in the Kingdom, according to the annual air quality monitoring report issued by the Ministry of Environment.
PM2.5 air pollutants, which are fine inhalable particles with diameters that are 2.5 micrometres or less, surpassed permitted levels during the year 2022 in Zarqa, Amman and Irbid, the report said.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A key suspect in the gruesome murder of a Filipino domestic helper found dead in a freezer in Kuwait has been arrested in Lebanon, the Philippine government said.
The Philippine embassy in Kuwait was informed of the arrest of the suspect, identified as Lebanese national Nader Essam Assaf, on Thursday, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano said he had informed President Rodrigo Duterte, who attended the wake of Joanna Daniela Demafelis, 29, in the town of Sara in central Iloilo province.
‘The president welcomes the news that Nader Essam Assaf is now in the hands of authorities in Lebanon,' Cayetano said in a statement on Friday.
‘Assaf's arrest is a critical first step in our quest for justice for Joanna and we are thankful to our friends in Kuwait and Lebanon for their assistance.'?? Another suspect in the killing is Assaf's wife, Syrian national Mona, but she is still at large, the department said.
Duterte ordered a ban on Filipinos working in Kuwait after Demafelis' body was found stuffed in a freezer in an abandoned apartment in Kuwait earlier this month.
An autopsy revealed she was beaten up and suffered broken ribs, internal bleeding and contusions.
There are an estimated 250,000 Filipinos working and living in Kuwait.
In ordering the ban, Duterte noted that 103 Filipinos died in Kuwait in 2017, up from 82 the previous year.
Since the total labour deployment ban on Kuwait was formalized on February 12, more than 1,700 Filipino workers have returned to Manila, and thousands more were expected to be repatriated, officials said.

Turkish FM calls for sincerity in Cyprus talks
(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Turkey's Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu called for sincerity in talks for the reunification of Cyprus in his first official trip abroad Monday.
Speaking at a news conference with Turkish Cypriot President Mustafa Akinci, Sinirlioglu said Turkey wanted to help find a permanent solution that would guarantee "political equality and legitimate rights as soon as possible".
"We expect a sincere return from Greek Cypriots for Turkish Cypriots who showed their dedication to a solution many times," he told reporters. "The positive developments in this regard give us hope. We observe that there is a political will from both sides for a joint future, which will be built by Turkish and Greek Cypriots."
Akinci said he wanted to see a federal structure of two zones as specified in an agreement reached in February last year.
The negotiations were suspended 11 months ago in a row over gas exploration.
The island has been divided since 1974 when a military coup by Greece was followed by Turkey's intervention on behalf of Turkish Cypriots.
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which declared its independence in 1983, is only recognized by Turkey while the Greek Cypriot administration is an EU member with a seat in the UN.
The land border between the two territories was opened in 2003 and visa restrictions subsequently eased.
Sinirlioglu and Akinci offered their condolences to the families of soldiers martyred in an attack by PKK terrorists in Turkey's southeastern Hakkari province Sunday.

(MENAFN) Surpassing market expectations, the US economy added 339,000 jobs in May, as reported by the Labor Department on Friday. Analysts had projected a gain of 180,000 nonfarm payrolls for the month. Furthermore, job additions for April were revised upward by 41,000, reaching a total of 294,000. However, the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 3.7 percent, increasing by 0.3 percentage points compared to April's rate of 3.4 percent. This figure deviated from the anticipated rate of 3.5 percent. The number of unemployed individuals in the country saw a rise of 440,000, bringing the total to 6.1 million in May.
Despite the increase in unemployment, both the labor force participation rate (62.6 percent) and the employment-population ratio (60.3 percent) remained unchanged last month. President Joe Biden hailed his administration's accomplishments in job creation, stating that over 13 million jobs have been generated since he assumed office. He highlighted that this surpasses the job creation of any president during a full four-year term in just 28 months. Biden further noted that the unemployment rate has remained below 4 percent for 16 consecutive months, a feat not witnessed since the 1960s.
Additionally, the president pointed out positive trends in inflation. He stated that the annual inflation rate has decreased for ten consecutive months and is currently down over 40 percent since last summer. In April, the annual consumer inflation rate stood at 4.9 percent, marking the smallest 12-month increase since April 2021. This figure represents a significant decline from the 9.1 percent increase recorded in June of the previous year, which had been the highest since November 1981.

The minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine also met with Minister for Climate and Energy of the Republic of Latvia Raimonds Čudars. The parties discussed the possibilities of cooperation between the energy companies of the two countries.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) QNA
The Qatari Haj Mission has approved the camps location for nine Qatari Haj campaigns in Mina and Arafat.
Director of the Qatari Haj Mission Ali bin Sultan Al Misifri explained that the pilgrims' camps in Mina are located in one site while the camps in Arafat are distributed on two sites (Arafat 1) and (Arafat 2).
He pointed out that the preparation of the state pilgrims sites in the holy places began some time before the Haj season, through coordination with the Ministry of Haj and Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Muttawiffy Hujjaj South Asia Company, where several meetings were held, which contributed to the allocation of distinct sites to the pilgrims of the State of Qatar in Arafat, near the main street and the Al Mashaer Train.
He added that the Haj Mission distributed the camps in Mina and Arafat on the campaigns according to number of pilgrims in each campaign and the approved space for each pilgrim. The camps were fully equipped with security and safety requirements, emergency exits were identified, male and female workers were allocated to the camps, providing all necessary services, facilities and equipment such as air conditioners, modern toilets, seating and sleeping areas, in addition to other equipment such as mattresses and appropriate electric power. Suitable places have also been allocated for the medical clinics of the Qatari mission, where there is a clinic for men and another for women, with the aim of comforting pilgrims and providing them with the appropriate conditions so that they can perform their rituals in the best conditions possible.
Al Misifri pointed pout that Qatari Haj Mission set up an evacuation plane in case of emergency where a gathering point and emergency exits were allocated. The camps have also been provided with safety and security means whether inside the tents or in the corridors under the supervision of qualified personnel from Qatari civil defence as well as Saudi civil defence. The Qatari Haj Mission adopted a new system this year to provide the best services in the holy places to all pilgrims of the State of Qatar.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) An elderly man's attempt to seek help regarding a missing food delivery from Swiggy took a distressing turn when he unwittingly became trapped in an online scam, resulting in a loss of Rs 3 lakh. Nikhil Chawla, the man's son, shared the harrowing incident on social media, cautioning others about the dangers of online fraud.
In his effort to reach Swiggy's customer service, the elderly man dialed a number he found via a Google search, unaware that it belonged to scammers impersonating Swiggy representatives. Initially losing Rs 35,000 to a UPI scam, he persisted in seeking assistance, only to fall prey to another fraudster who gained remote access to his phone.

This allowed them to pilfer a significant sum from his credit card and obtain access to his bank details, resulting in a loss totaling Rs 2.5-3 lakh.
Deeply troubled by the incident, Nikhil took to X to warn others about such scams. He stressed the prevalence of fraudulent numbers in Google search results and urged for heightened awareness and vigilance.
Swiggy responded by clarifying their lack of an official customer care number and encouraged users to utilise their in-app chat support. They also stressed the importance of reporting such incidents to cybercrime authorities and took measures to combat fraudulent websites.
Despite these measures, Nikhil stressed the necessity of multilingual support and increased awareness, particularly among non-English speakers. He expressed gratitude for the support received and remained committed to raising awareness to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Why Regeneron, Intellia Therapeutics On Sale
When Merck (NYSE:MRK) announced an anti-viral pill to treat COVID-19 patients, Regeneron (NASDAQ:REGN) stock plunged by around 9%. The stock is well off the $686.62 high. Why did Regeneron fall so fast?
Regeneron's antiviral treatment costs more and is not as easy to administer. Merck's treatment is convenient. It would pressure Regeneron's market. Still, Regeneron does more than just sell Covid-19 treatments. It has a deep pipeline in the cancer field. It is working with partners in the treatment of liver diseases.
REGN partnered with Intellia Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NTLA). In the summer, it released phase 1 trial data for a CRISPR candidate. It showed that it could genetically edit cells inside the liver. In hindsight, NTLA peaked after the news, while REGN stock fell slowly. Regeneron shareholders may treat the development as a future growth prospect. Even though Allogene (NASDAQ:ALLO) said the FDA halted its CAR-T programs on safety concerns, Regeneron generates a rich cash flow.
The company's blockbuster Eylea and Dupixent drugs will more than fund its current pipeline. Investors may wait for the downtrend in Regeneron to end. This could take time, as markets sold off bigger pharmaceuticals recently. That includes JNJ, BMY, and ABBV stock. Eventually, the sentiment will improve. When it does, Regeneron stock will bottom.

The Russian economy trains for worst-case scenarios
(MENAFN) Vladimir Putin has spent years training for the worst-case scenario. Since at least 2014, when Russia was battered by falling oil prices and sanctions against Ukraine, the Kremlin has focused on erecting financial barriers, imposing macroeconomic discipline, currency detachment and support for import substitution.
Even as Covid-19 hit middle-class families, Moscow tightened its financial grip.
Consequently, Russia’s foundations appear to be in decent shape compared to other countries, with fairly low debts, nearly $640 billion in global savings, and financial luxury equivalent to about 12% of its economic production in the form of a national fund of wealth reinforced by profits from hydrocarbons. Importantly, self-sufficiency has also improved, with Russia being a net supplier of agricultural products for the first time in the post-Soviet period in 2020.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) According to a study conducted by the World Energy Council, Georgia occupies the 71st place in the world in terms of the development of the energy system from 125 countries, reports.
All neighboring countries occupy higher places - in particular, Azerbaijan - 31st, Armenia - 52nd, Russia - 44th, Turkey - 50th.
David Mirtskhulava, ex-Minister of Energy of Georgia, believes that the 71st place is caused by a number of complex problems faced by the country's energy sector.
"The ranking assesses such criteria as energy security, access to energy, network reliability, ecology, etc. Georgia is a country that lacks both energy and hydrocarbons as oil products and gas are completely imported. Our energy sector is 70% dependent on imports. We buy energy from neighboring countries - Russia and Azerbaijan. The problem is that the sector is heavily monopolized, there are also big questions from the point of view of the reliability of the infrastructure, "the former minister notes.
"We have a lot of work to do. Currently the energy system is being reformed and we have no right for mistakes. It is necessary to improve the investment climate as and there is a danger it can deteriorate. Serious work is also needed to diversify energy supplies. In general, we still have a lot to do to improve our positions in the rating ", - says David Mirtskhulava.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Delhi: Job offer scams are on the rise on social media these days. In the present-day digital world, searching for and applying for job openings has become easier. However, in the hopes of landing the job of our dreams, sometimes we become oblivious to potential fake job warning signs. These scams typically involve fake job postings that promise lucrative positions and also offer dream salaries.
Every day, a job advertisement in the name of Damco Digital Marketing Agency is circulated on social media. A message, purportedly from someone named Radhika, is circulated on WhatsApp, offering part-time work-from-home opportunities. The job requirements specify that only Indian nationals are eligible for these positions, with a promised basic salary of Rs 10,000 per week.
The message claims that payments will be made through online banking, Paytm, GPay, and UPI, and assures prospective candidates that this work can be carried out without affecting their current employment. The sole task mentioned is reviewing restaurants on Google Maps. This fraudulent job offer has been spreading like wildfire on both WhatsApp and Facebook, catching the attention of many job seekers.
However, the legitimate Damco Group, which has been falsely associated with this scam, has denied any involvement in this post. They have stated that they did not offer any such job opportunity and have not posted any advertisements on social media platforms. The company has unequivocally confirmed that the circulating message is fake. In response to the scam, Damco Group has issued a stern warning to the public, advising them not to share personal information or make any payments in response to these fraudulent job offers. They emphasise the importance of verifying job opportunities through official and reputable channels.

This Super REIT is Undervalued Right Now
Canadian stocks have broadly been battered over the past two weeks. The S&P/TSX Composite Index was down 145 points in mid-afternoon trading on September 22. If it holds, this would be the third triple digit decline over the past four trading sessions. Today, I want to zero-in on a discounted real estate investment trust (REIT) that is worth snatching up today.
The Northwest Healthcare REIT (TSX:NWH.UN) owns and operates a global portfolio of high-quality health care real estate. Shares of this REIT have dropped 15% in 2022 at the time of this writing. That has pushed the REIT into negative territory in the year-over-year period.
This company unveiled its second quarter fiscal 2022 earnings on August 11. It delivered revenue growth of 24% to $111 million in Q2 2022. Meanwhile, it posted strong portfolio occupancy of 97%. Northwest now has assets under management worth $10.2 billion – up 22% from the prior year. Moreover, net asset value (NAV) per unit increased 8% from Q2 2021 to $14.19. Net operating income rose to $88.8 million compared to $69.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) jumped to $46.8 million over $43.2 million.
Shares of this REIT currently possess a very favourable price-to-earnings ratio of 6.1. Better yet, it offers a monthly dividend of $0.067 per shar. That represents a monster 6.9% yield.

Iraq boycotts regional basketball tournament over snub
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Iraq announced Sunday it will boycott an international club basketball tournament to protest a decision to shift the contest from Baghdad over security concerns.
Hosting the West Asian Basketball Champions Cup on March 12-16 in the capital was meant to symbolise the conflict-hit nation's return as an international venue after almost 40 years in the wilderness.
But organisers ruled Thursday to move the club competition from Baghdad to Jordan's capital Amman "for security reasons".
In response Iraq's basketball federation announced Sunday in a statement that it "deplored" the move and therefore "decides not to participate".
"We will not sit idly by at this injustice after we have made extraordinary efforts since we were chosen to host this tournament," it said.
"This is the first time that Iraq had been preparing to host this competition after being unable to do so for years because of the blind terror that has hit it."
Iraq has been rocked by conflict for decades dating from the war with Iran in the 1980s, through the 2003 US-led invasion and up to the fight against the Islamic State group.
The country has now found relative peace after the jihadists were defeated but is still regularly hit by deadly terror attacks.
A double suicide bombing in the centre of Baghdad on January 15 killed 31 people.
