    The 21-year-old declared at the start of the week that she was playing the best tennis of her career and swatted aside Linda Noskova 6-0, 7-5.

  • Slow growth, high debt - troubled UK economy awaits election winners

  • Vietnam continues support for bank engulfed in massive fraud, central bank says

    Vietnam's central bank said on Friday it had continued providing support to Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB), which it put under special supervision in October 2022 after a run on its deposits. Reuters reported on Wednesday the central bank had pumped nearly $24 billion in SCB to prevent its collapse, and that special loans to the bank had continued at least until early April. The central bank placed SCB under its supervision to stem a run on the bank sparked by the October 2022 arrest of real estate tycoon Truong My Lan, who was last week sentenced to death over her role in a $12.5 billion financial fraud case, Vietnam's biggest of its kind.

  • Nigeria government halves central bank borrowing - finance minister

    Nigeria has halved federal borrowing from the central bank, according to Finance Minister Wale Edun, as Africa's biggest economy works to curb monetary financing and shift to markets to plug revenue shortfalls. President Bola Tinubu, who inherited an economy struggling with record debt, high unemployment, subsidies and large central bank financing, has promised to make the bank autonomous and more focused on its core mandate. Central bank overdrafts to the federal government, so-called "ways and means," were popular with the previous administration, peaking at $53 billion in 2023 and fuelling inflation and budget deficits.
