अर्जेन्टिनाले चीनलाई डलरमा होइन युआनमा भुक्तानी दिने

काठमाडौं । चरम आर्थिक संकट (Economic Crisis) को सामना गरिरहेको अर्जेन्टिना (Argentina) ले चीन (China)बाट ल्याएको सामानको भुक्तानी चिनियाँ युआनमा गर्ने भएको छ । यसअघि डलरमा भुक्तानी गर्दै आएको अर्जेन्टिनाले बुधवार उक्त घोषणा गरेको हो । डलर सञ्चिति सुक्दै गइरहेको अवस्थामा यो कदमले सरकारलाई निकै ठूलो राहत दिने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ । अप्रिलमा अर्जेन्टिनाले चीनसँग किनेको करीब १ अर्ब डलर बराबरको सामानको भुक्तानी डलरको सट्टा युआन (Yuan)मा गर्ने लक्ष्य राखेको थियो । त्यसपछि मासिक झन्डै ७९ करोड डलरको आयातको भुक्तानी युआनमा गरिने एउटा विज्ञप्तिमा सरकारले भनेको छ । अर्जेन्टिनाको डलर सञ्चितिलाई टेवा दिन यो निर्णय गरिएको अर्जेन्टिनी अर्थमन्त्री सेर्गियो मास्साले चिनियाँ राजदुत चाउ सियाओलीसँगको भेटघाटपछि एक कार्यक्रममा भनेका थिए । अहिले अर्जेन्टिनाले चरम डलर अभाव भोगिरहेको छ । इतिहासमै कहिले नदेखिएको खडेरीका कारण कृषि निर्यातमा उच्च कमी आएपछि उसको डलर सञ्चिति (Dollar Reserve) मा दबाब बढेको छ । राजनीतिक अनिश्चिय र यो वर्ष हुन लागेको चुनावले पनि डलरको सञ्चितिमाथि दबाब सिर्जना भइरहेको छ । गएको वर्ष नोभेम्बरमा अर्जेन्टिनाले विदेशी मुद्राको सञ्चिति बढाउन चीनसँग पाँच अर्ब डलरको करेन्सी स्वाप (Currency Swap) गरेको थियो । यसलाई पनि डलरमाथिको निर्भरता घटाउने महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रयासका रूपमा हेरिएको थियो । चरम डलर अभाव भोगिरहेका देशहरूले अहिले डलर (Dollar) को सट्टा व्यापार साझेदार देशको मुद्रामा कारोबार गर्ने पहल बढाएका छन् । बंगलादेश (Bangladesh) लगायत देशहरूले भारतसँग पनि भारतीय रुपयामा कारोबार गर्नेतिर बढी जोड दिइरहेका छन् । एजेन्सी

Foreign Trade Falls

Nepal's economy is going through a challenging situation even after COVID-19 crisis. It is needless to mention that the pandemic had dealt a severe blow to global economy, and Nepal's economy was not an exception. With a weak industrial base, the country can produce only limited products, with soybean oil and palm oil being the major exportable items. The country adds value to these products and exports them to India after having imported raw materials from different countries. Following COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war has hit the world economy in one way or the other. Almost 10 months have passed since the war began. And it has been quite problematic for many countries globally, including Nepal, to import the raw materials. Consequently, Nepal's export trade has suffered a setback. Raw soybean oil comes from Bangladesh, Argentina, the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America (USA) while the country imports raw palm oil from Indonesia, India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

2022 World Cup: The numbers which make the Qatar event so different

So what will make it so different? More football each day At 29 days from start to finish (20 November to 18 December), this will be the shortest World Cup since Argentina 1978. That means organisers have to squeeze in four games most days during the group stages - at 10:00, 13:00, 16:00 and 19:00 GMT. Most World Cups in recent memory have had three a day. There is also no turnaround time between the groups and the knockout stages, with the last 16 starting the day after the group stages end. A condensed World Cup There are only about 40 miles between the two furthest away stadiums - Al Bayt Stadium north of Doha to Al Janoub Stadium just south of the capital. The drive takes just 50 minutes without traffic. A tournament with a disposable stadium Seven of the eight World Cup stadiums have been built from scratch for this tournament. Seven of the eight will have seats removed after the tournament... and Stadium 974, which is made of shipping containers, will be entirely disassembled. Only one of the eight grounds will be the home stadium of a football team afterwards (Al Rayyan at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium). In total about 200,000 seats will be removed from grounds (and, according to organisers, be gifted to developing countries) after the final. A lack of places to stay As a country that does not get near the top 100 in the world for population or size, it is perhaps no surprise that Qatar cannot offer the accommodation usually seen at a World Cup. In March, the country had just 30,000 hotel rooms - with official figures suggesting 1.5 million people are coming. They hope to have a total of 130,000 rooms available in the country in time for fans coming - including 9,000 beds in fans villages, big tents and metal cabins, 60,000 rooms in apartments and villas, 50,000 in hotels and 4,000 rooms in two cruise ships which will remain docked for the tournament. The lack of rooms means some fans will have to stay in neighbouring countries such as Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and fly in for their games. Oman is offering free visas and 24 special flights a day from Muscat to Doha. A lot of new infrastructure Qatar has had to build a lot of infrastructure to host this tournament. As well as the stadiums, more than 100 hotels have popped up and there have been new roads and a metro built. A new city is going to be built around the final stadium in Lusail. The budget for just stadiums and training facilities alone is £5.3bn. Plenty of tickets sold Despite all the issues with accommodation, 2.89 million tickets were sold at the last update in October - meaning this could be one of the best attended World Cups ever. How much is a beer? The price of a beer is about £10 to £15 in Qatar - although there are huge restrictions on where you can buy alcohol. Usually, licensed hotel bars and restaurants are the only options in Qatar, although during the World Cup, fan zones and the grounds around the stadium will also sell beer. The fan zones will reportedly charge £11.60 for 500ml of lager. Drinking alcohol in public places (outside of these areas) can result in a prison sentence of up to six months and a fine of more than £700. The tournament's carbon footprint Some 3.6 million tonnes of CO2 will be omitted during the tournament. It was 2.1 million in Russia. Criticism over deaths of migrant workers More than 6,500 migrant workers are thought to have died in Qatar from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka alone from when the country was awarded the World Cup in 2010 to 2020, according to a Guardian investigation last year. The Qatar government said the total was misleading, because not all the deaths recorded were of people working on World Cup-related projects. Amnesty International says there are no exact figures because the Qatari authorities have failed to investigate the deaths of thousands of migrant workers over the past decade.

Rohingya to give first testimony in push for Myanmar army probe

YANGON, August 17: Rohingya refugees expelled from Myanmar in a bloody crackdown are to testify in court for the first time Tuesday to urge a full judicial investigation into allegations of war crimes committed against them. A military campaign in Myanmar in 2017 is believed to have killed thousands and forced some 750,000 members of the Muslim minority to flee to refugee camps in Bangladesh, bringing accounts of rape, murder and arson. The witnesses will testify remotely to a court in Argentina, which is considering invoking the principle of "universal jurisdiction" to bring a case against Myanmar's leaders for genocide and crimes against humanity. The legal premise holds that some acts -- including war crimes and crimes against humanity -- are so horrific they are not specific to one nation and can be tried anywhere. Argentina's courts have taken up other universal jurisdiction cases in the past, including in relation to ex-dictator Francisco Franco's rule in Spain and the Falun Gong movement in China. Proceedings against Myanmar and its leaders are already under way at the International Criminal Court and the UN's International Court of Justice. But Tuesday's hearing "will be the first time... that the Rohingya will have the opportunity to tell a court of all the atrocities they suffered", former UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar Tomas Ojea told AFP. Five survivors of sexual violence will testify to the Federal Criminal Appeal Court in Buenos Aires remotely from refugee camps in Bangladesh, according to activist group Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK. "For decades, the Myanmar military has with impunity tried to wipe the Rohingya out as a people," said Tun Khin, president of the group, which petitioned the Argentine government to open the case. "With Myanmar both unwilling and unable to investigate itself -- especially since the coup -- the international community must step in and support all justice efforts." Myanmar denies committing genocide, justifying the 2017 operations as a means of rooting out Rohingya militants. The Myanmar public was largely unsympathetic to the Rohingya's plight, while activists and journalists reporting on the issues faced vitriolic abuse online. After the military was accused of genocide, civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi travelled to The Hague to defend the generals at the UN's top court. Months later they deposed her in a coup. The country has conceded some soldiers might have used "disproportionate" force in the 2017 crackdown, but insists they will be investigated and prosecuted by Myanmar's criminal justice system.RSS
