Keir Starmer’s planned departure from No. 10 Downing Street after barely two years in office represents yet another dramatic turn in Britain’s increasingly volatile political landscape. Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the King’s country has witnessed an unprecedented parade of prime ministers: David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Starmer.

A green, silent bus idled at the park, outside the domestic arrival terminal of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, with doors open and seats mostly empty. A few metres away, taxi drivers called out for passengers while travellers wheeled their luggage past without a second glance—some heading for car hire services, some to their personal cars or family, others opening ride-hailing apps, and one of many passengers making her way toward the green shuttle bus. Inside the bus, Anita Mathew sat waiting. “Well, I am using the bus for the first time to try it out. They told me about it…
Eight-year-old Marvellous gripped a worn pencil tightly as she wrote on a single sheet of paper, kneeling on the bare concrete floor of an unfinished compound in Karshi, a satellite community on the outskirts of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city. Around her, four younger siblings sat barefoot, watching every movement of the pencil. Among them was a two-year-old toddler with mucus running from her nose. The children barely noticed the visitor. Because she is a minor, this reporter did not interview Marvellous directly. When asked if her parents were around, she quietly disappeared into the unfinished building behind her and returned…

Dollar stablecoins could improve access to foreign currency in economies with fixed or heavily managed exchange rates, but may also amplify currency runs when pressure on the domestic currency becomes severe, according to a new paper published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The findings come from a working paper by economist Brandon Joel Tan. Titled “Stablecoins and Fragility in Fixed Exchange Rate Regimes,” the paper modeled how stablecoins affect parallel foreign-exchange (FX) markets when official dollar access is rationed. The findings highlight that stablecoins can help people get access to dollars when banks or official exchange channels cannot meet demand. However,…
