    London Stock Exchange Group shareholders will vote on Thursday on whether to potentially double the pay of CEO David Schwimmer, after the 300-year old bourse campaigned to raise executive rewards to strengthen UK capital markets. LSEG's annual general meeting will vote on proposals to allow Schwimmer's total yearly remuneration to rise to up to 13.063 million pounds ($16.14 million) from 6.25 million pounds.

  • COLUMN-BoE tries to sail a mid-ocean policy :Mike Dolan

    The Bank of England is left parsing policy between a European Central Bank nailed on for cutting rates by mid-year and a U.S. Federal Reserve some feel may not be ready to ease at all in 2024. Not for the first time, the BoE finds itself somewhere in the middle of the North Atlantic trying to set its own course - possibly leaning stateside due to lagging UK disinflation but in the euro zone current when it comes to flagging economic activity. For much of the first quarter, financial markets conspicuously priced all three major central banks pulling their first rate cut triggers in tandem this summer - but a rift has opened up this month and timelines have scattered.

  • Iran's Raisi arrives in Sri Lanka to foster ties, open hydropower project

    Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi arrived in Sri Lanka on Wednesday for a brief state visit aimed at strengthening ties, during which he will also open a $514-million hydropower project. The first visit by an Iranian president to Sri Lanka since an April 2008 trip by its then president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will see the two countries sign five pacts, or Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). Iran agreed to build the hydro power project in 2010 but funds dried up after the release of $50 million, as U.S. sanctions imposed later that year on the Middle East nation made it hard to transfer money, forcing Sri Lanka to fund the rest.

    Chinese-backed Swedish electric vehicle (EV) maker Polestar Automotive is preparing to shift production of cars it plans to sell into Europe to its U.S. plant from China in view of rising geopolitical tension, its CEO said.
