8 days ago -

With the government's budget in deficit for six consecutive quarters, Saudi Arabia has become the largest issuer of international debt in emerging markets. And its decision to cut oil production with other OPEC+ members in 2023 has failed to boost export revenues considerably.

Even though an Ipsos survey taken in May indicated that 39% of the French viewed their vote at the EU level solely through the prism of a burning desire to spank Macron, he dissolved parliament and dared them to do it again. Maybe he just really likes spankings? Or else this is one guy who should probably steer clear ...
