☆ Argentina government to send LNG bill to Congress in coming months
  + stars: | 2022-11-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Nov 24 (Reuters) - Argentina's Economy minister Sergio Massa said on Thursday that the government was readying a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bill to send to Congress in the coming months, amid a push to create a major gas export sector in the country. The bill aims to spur the multi-billion-dollar investments needed to exploit Argentina's massive LNG reserves, as the war in Ukraine spikes global demand. Companies like state-owned YPF (YPFD.BA) have shown interest in building plants to liquify gas from Argentina's vast Vaca Muerta shale basin, the world's second largest unconventional gas reserve and the fourth largest shale oil reserve. Massa told business leaders that he hoped Congress would discuss the LNG bill in coming extended or extraordinary sessions, and that the government would also announce a series of decrees to accompany the bill. Amid a prolonged financial crisis and a series of market regulations imposed by the center-left government, companies have asked the government to provide certainty that LNG export commitments will be honored once the expensive LNG plants are built.

Mnuchin this week criticized the G-7's plan for a cap onFormer U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin described the G-7's plan for a price cap on Russian oil as "ridiculous." I think the problem now is that there's limited options ... there's parts of the world that are now buying Russian oil outside of U.S. sanctions," he said. "But look, a price cap, the market is going to set the price. As Europe seeks to wean itself off Russian oil and gas, Moscow has ramped up its sale of oil to countries including China and India. Energy analysts say it will be vital to get those countries' cooperation for any price cap to be effective, but it remains unclear how they will react to any final announcement.

[1/7] People walk on the cracked soil caused by drought on the outskirts of Sanaa, Yemen, October 20, 2022. Qat can earn three times the revenue of any other crop but the steady cash flow comes at a heavy price. The bitter-tasting plant requires deep-well irrigation and disproportionate use of water, exacerbating Yemen's water scarcity problem. The conflict has destroyed water infrastructure, leaving millions of people without safe water to drink or grow crops. And a qat crop is harvested several times a year, while fruits are harvested only one time per year.

A group of progressive House Democrats asked President Joe Biden in a letter Monday to directly engage with Russia in an effort to end the conflict in Ukraine. The push by progressives, which asks the president to take a more aggressive strategy on the Ukraine war, swiftly prompted pushback from fellow Democrats and some Ukrainians. The lawmakers urge the president to pair the military and financial support the United States has provided to Ukraine with a “proactive diplomatic push” that involves direct talks with Russia. It comes as Republicans threaten to cut aid to Ukraine if they retake control of the House in the midterm elections next month. “We’d all like to see this war end today, and quite frankly it could end today if Putin did the right thing and pulled his troops out.”

US retirees have some advice for their younger selves, and by extension anyone who has yet to retire: Save more. And don’t forget to account for taxes and inflation – they’ll hit you harder than you expect. Those are key takeaways from a survey of more than 1,100 US retirees by the Employee Benefits Research Institute, which was conducted this spring. Roughly half (49%) of all survey respondents said they wish they’d started planning for retirement earlier. Nearly half of the survey respondents (48%) said they didn’t understand how taxes would affect their finances in retirement.
