“This is a major economic challenge,” Sandberg said. “I think you’re right that marketers are afraid to put their ads up, but it’s also that a lot of businesses are closed… airlines are empty, hotels are empty or closed. So there’s a lot of marketing spend that’s not happening now and that’s certainly going to hit our business.”
“We want to support small businesses and support news organizations around the world,” Sandberg said. “I think we also have to realize how quickly the situation is evolving. We don’t know what will happen next and that means we need to be really nimble. We need to be focused on keeping our services up and making sure people get the right information.”
“Journalism is hugely important all the time, but it’s probably never been more important than it is right now, when people really need critical information about what’s going on,” said Sandberg. “That means that those businesses have to be supported. So we’re doing it by spending money and we’re doing it by granting money.”
“Local news is really important here. People need to know what’s happening in their local area, both from a health perspective and economic perspective, knowing what things are open,” Facebook (FB) COO Sheryl Sandberg told Yahoo Finance.

Professor of macroeconomics accuses Biden government of benefiting from inflation
(MENAFN) Ceyhun Elgin, a professor of macroeconomics at Bogazici University in Istanbul, informed Anadolu Agency that "Using a code name like the inflation reduction act is more like a political labelling of the set of policies associated with the proposal of the Biden administration."
Inflation is extremely not relevant in the US currently, he stated, in dispute that the Biden government "wanted to benefit from this by relating this proposal to reducing inflation."
He highlighted that the offer includes many procedures to back environmentally friendly local investment in the US as well as funding it by raising taxes on companies.
Ceyhun stated that "I believe it will not immediately decrease inflation. However, it may make the US economy less dependent on international energy prices in the long run."
Adding "Since the tax increases are expected to be more than the increased spending on investment subsidies, the act will also reduce the US budget deficit and may have a small reductionary effect on inflation through that channel."

European Commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis and Pierre Moscovici on Wednesday stressed the Greek economy's progress since the country exited the programme, as well as the risk of fiscal targets being missed.

A new survey shows the health and medicine industry is increasingly worried about the future of the American healthcare system.
The survey, conducted by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, found that a majority of the healthcare industry executives surveyed say they are concerned about the health of the U.S. health care system, and about the potential for the country to become a more expensive place to live, work and visit.
More than half (54%) of those surveyed say the country will become more expensive to live in by 2026, while 44% say it will be more expensive by 2033.
Only 12% of the surveyed executives say the health system will be better off financially.
In the wake of the Affordable Care Act’s passage, a majority (56%) of the industry executives said that they were concerned about what it means for the U,S.
economy, the country’s future and the cost of health care.
Nearly half (47%) of them said that health care costs would likely be higher in the years ahead.
The same number (47%) said that there would be more spending in the short term.
A majority of those polled said that it was too early to tell how the health sector would react to the ACA’s passage.
Only 6% of them think that the healthcare sector will be ready to go, while 31% think it will take time.
“There are going to be lots of questions about what will happen to health care spending going forward, and whether or not there will be a slowdown in spending in those years,” said Mary Beth Ahern, the executive director of the Kaiser Family Study.
“But a lot of this is coming from the people who are in the industry right now.”
The survey also found that, in their view, the Affordable Act has been successful in achieving its goal of getting the country more affordable.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only affected the health and wellbeing of people globally, but it has also had a significant impact on the economy, including the taxation system in Pakistan. As businesses and individuals struggle to navigate through the pandemic, the government has been forced to reevaluate its taxation policies to support economic stability and recovery.
In this article, we will explore the impact of COVID-19 on taxation in Pakistan and the measures taken by the government to address these challenges.
Impact on Tax Revenues
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on tax revenues in Pakistan. The pandemic has caused a slowdown in economic activities, resulting in reduced tax collection. Many businesses have been forced to shut down, while others have seen a significant decrease in their sales, leading to reduced income tax and sales tax collections.
In addition to the impact on tax revenues, the government has also had to provide relief measures to support businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic. This has put additional strain on the government’s finances and increased the need for revenue collection.
Measures Taken by the Government
To address the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and tax collection, the government has taken several measures. These measures include:
- Tax Relief Measures: The government has provided tax relief measures to businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic. These include the extension of tax deadlines, waiver of penalties and interest on late tax payments, and reduced tax rates for some sectors.
- Stimulus Packages: The government has announced several stimulus packages to support businesses affected by the pandemic. These packages include tax exemptions, loans, and grants to help businesses survive and recover.
- Digitalization of Tax Collection: The government has increased its efforts to digitalize tax collection processes to reduce the need for physical interaction and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
- Enforcement Measures: The government has also increased its enforcement measures to ensure tax compliance and reduce tax evasion.
Challenges and Future Outlook
Despite the measures taken by the government, there are still challenges in ensuring tax collection and supporting economic recovery. The pandemic has highlighted the need for a more efficient and effective tax system in Pakistan.
Going forward, the government needs to focus on enhancing tax compliance and improving the tax collection process to ensure sustainable revenue generation. This can be achieved through digitalization of tax processes, strengthening tax administration, and improving tax policy.
In conclusion, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on taxation in Pakistan. The government has taken several measures to address the challenges posed by the pandemic. Going forward, there is a need for sustained efforts to enhance tax compliance, improve tax administration, and support economic recovery.

Children lose their sense of justice as they grow and the prevention of bullying relies on the help of people who witness the violence, the Child Welfare League Foundation said yesterday.
A survey on school bullying conducted by the foundation showed that 26.4 percent of the students polled, who ranged from elementary to high-school students, said that they had been bullied at school at least once.
Nearly 20 percent said they still lived in fear of violence from their peers — as 15.2 percent said that they had been bullied in the past year and 3.5 percent said they had been targeted at least twice to three times every month over the past year, the foundation said.
Foundation research and development director Chiu Ching-hui (邱靖惠) said bullying begins at an early age.
“Eleven percent of high-school students said they were bullied in kindergarten and 22.6 percent experienced bullying in first or second grade in elementary school,” she said. “It shows that children require guidance in social situations and character education at a very young age.”
Most of the bullying faced by the students was verbal, such as teasing, ridicule and name-calling, which accounted for 73.1 percent, with exclusion making 63.5 percent, the survey showed. It also indicated that girls were more likely to employ these forms of bullying than boys.
Chiu said 65.2 percent of the children surveyed said that they were disinclined to seek help from teachers or parents when they were targeted, since the involvement of adults, it was believed, would make the situation worse.
“If violence becomes the culture in the class, there will always be another victim,” the foundation said, adding that 40.3 percent of bullied children said bystanders “did nothing,” while 26 percent said their peers “were amused.”
“The role of bystanders is crucial to stopping the bully,” Chiu said. “While 22.7 percent of the students polled said they have a strong sense of justice, nearly one-quarter indicated it was not important.”
“What caught our attention was that as children grow, their sense of justice fades, with high-school students having the least sense of justice among the three groups,” she said. “The decreasing numbers indicate that a sense of justice is not a value promoted and treasured in schools.”
The foundation is to launch “Just Campuses,” a campaign aimed at tackling bullying.

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday appeared to throw in the towel on more government restrictions over COVID-19 — insisting it’s now up to Americans to make their own medical risk assessments.
“This is not going to be eradicated, and it’s not going to be eliminated,” Fauci told ABC’s “This Week.” “And what’s going to happen is that we’re going to see that each individual is going to have to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they want to take.”
The White House chief medical adviser said Americans will have to consider factors such as their age, vaccination status and whether they live with vulnerable individuals when it comes to coronavirus precautions.
“We’re at that point where in many respects … we’re going to have to live with some degree of virus in the community,” he said.
“The best way to mitigate that is to get vaccinated. If you’re not, to get boosted if you’re eligible to be boosted.”
Fauci’s comments about the state of the pandemic were in stark contrast to the more dire warnings he issued early on in 2020.
They also come amid the spread across the country of the now-dominant BA.2 variant, which is highly contagious but less severe than previous strains.
Fauci said that while “there is concern that we are seeing an uptick in cases,” it’s “not unexpected that you’re going to see an uptick when you pull back on the mitigation methods.
“It was said that if we do start seeing an uptick, particularly of hospitalizations, we may need to revert back to being more careful and having more utilizations of masks indoors,” Fauci said. “But right now, we’re watching it very, very carefully, and there is concern that it’s going up, but hopefully we’re not going to see increased severity.”

Iranian Leader: Enemies drew a plan to isolate Iran
(MENAFN) Iranian Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ebrahim Raisi has stated that the enemies drew a plan to isolate Iran when it was making financial and diplomatic development.
Addressing before noon on Sunday in the fourth conference of the Supreme Council for the Promotion and Development of the Culture of Sacrifice and Martyrdom, President Raisi observed on Iran’s unrest in latest days.
Ayatollah Raisi stated the media controversy of the West against our nation and declared about their double standards.
“Although in Iran the issue of Miss Amini's death is being followed up completely and carefully and all the officials have emphasized it, but at the same time, the enemy is trying to divert public opinion by preparing extensive media measures, while a group of Afghan girls are killed in a school by American-backed terrorist groups, and there is no reaction from these self-proclaimed activists! In such a situation, is it acceptable to claim to pursue human rights and women's rights on the part of Westerners?” he added, as stated by the Iranian presidency.
He called the enemy's goal of designing a new plan to stop the nation from developing and noted, “When the Islamic Republic was overcoming economic problems and becoming more active in the region and the world, the enemies entered the field with the intention of isolating the country, but they failed in this conspiracy as well.”
