ANALYSIS & OPINION
G8 can help transform Middle East economies
The World Bank has pledged $6 billion of aid to Egypt and Tunisia, but the summit of industrialised nations' leaders this week could go further and come up with a model to prevent the Arab spring turning into an Arab winter.
In Pakistan’s Gwadar port, Chinese whispers grow
China's involvement in development of Pakistan's strategic Gwadar port near Gulf oil shipping lanes is stirring concern in the region and beyond.
Lagarde, Juncker, and Greece’s solvency
Christine Lagarde's international campaign to become the next head of the IMF is an attempt to maximize her credentials as the choice not only of Europe but of the rest of the world as well.

Chrysler makes a comeback, again
Who would have thought two years ago that Chrysler would survive longer than, say, Charlie Sheen on the airwaves or Osama bin Laden on the lam?

The panic calls for municipal debt rarely reference data from other fiscal spaces like the debt of the US or European governments. If we compare states debt loads to western sovereign liabilities they look eminently manageable. One of the first posts I wrote for my Reuters blog Muniland was about the relative debt loads of the states and the federal government.
Parents want to help their kids, but when does it stop?
A weak job market for college and high-school graduates is continuing to drive young adults back into the households onto the payrolls of their parents, but is the extra financial boost a help or a hindrance?
