Norwegian Oil Giant Pockets Fivefold Profits, Accused of Profiteering
The state-owned company Petoro, which manages the government's directly owned shares in Norwegian oil and gas operations, released a fresh annual report, posting a colossal revenue of NOK 528 billion (nearly $50 billion), five times greater than the yearly average.
Countries ranging from Germany and Poland to Brussels itself, have lambasted Norway's oil behemoth for supposedly profiteering, as European nations labor under the twin burdens of a cost of living crisis driven by rocketing energy prices and inflation. Poland has even urged Norway to share its "excess, gigantic" profit with Ukraine, accusing Oslo of indirectly "preying" on the conflict - a thought shared by some guilt-ridden Norwegians.

❗️Moscow lambasts ICC arrest order against President Putin as null and void
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Friday stressed that the court's ruling has no legal significance, dismissing it as completely meaningless.

US Silicon Valley Bank's Former Holding Company Says Filed for Bankruptcy Protection
First Republic Bank, a medium-size private lender, received a $30 billion cash infusion from a group of large US banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley, among others.
The move comes amid fears of a contagion effect after the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. First Republic's share price had plunged nearly 70 percent, leaving investors jittery that the lender might be next in line to face a bank run, and about 70 percent of its deposits are uninsured, which is the third highest after Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
