The region is going to face additional challenges in 2023, as economic growth is projected to slow and the situation is expected to be worse than it currently is amid runaway inflation, an acting director at the IMF said.
Earlier on Wednesday, the IMF said in its regional economic outlook that Latin America will face high inflation, which is set to reach 7.8% by the end of this year.

🇬🇧 🛢 A UK court is expected to rule in the case of Glencore Energy UK Limited - a British subsidiary of Swiss company Glencore, one of the largest commodity traders in the world - for paying millions of dollars in bribes to officials from five African countries in pursuit of lucrative oil contracts.
▪️ The court hearing on Wednesday revealed that bribes worth $28Mln were transported in cash on a private jet to the continent to be distributed in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, South Sudan, and Ivory Coast for five years up to 2016.
▪️ After the company pleaded guilty to charges of corruption in June this year, the chairman of the African Energy Chamber, NJ Ayuk, said that all Glencore executives involved in the corruption scheme should be held accountable.
🗣 "The African Energy Chamber strongly believes that Glencore’s leaders must be held accountable for their actions. Anything less sends a message that 'bribery is a necessary evil' in such regions of the world as Africa. That is not true. Now is the time to make that reality abundantly clear to corporate leaders who do business here," he said.

👩⚖️Mercedes Wedaa, who worked at Jeff Bezos’ home in the Seattle area for nearly three years, and supervised a team of five to six housekeepers, is suing the Amazon founder. She claims she was subject to racial discrimination by his staff, forced to work long hours without access to a lavatory and was denied rest and meal breaks.
According to Wedaa, housekeeping staff were forced to eat in a laundry room and forbidden to use a toilet in the nearby security room, which meant that they had to climb out of the window to get into the bathroom.
🗣“We’ve investigated these claims, they have no merit, and we’ll defend against them,” Harry Korrell, an attorney who represents Bezos and other defendants, said in an emailed statement
