ROSTOV-ON-DON/VORONEZH, Russia - Heavily armed Russian mercenaries who advanced most of the way to Moscow halted their approach, de-escalating a major challenge to President Vladimir Putin's grip on power, in a move that their leader said would avoid bloodshed. Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Putin ally and founder of the Wagner army, said his men reached within 125 miles (200 km) of the capital on Saturday. Earlier, Moscow deployed soldiers in preparation for their arrival and told residents to stay indoors.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 17): Following the conclusion of the state elections, Malaysia's focus should be on medium-term fiscal sustainability, as its fiscal consolidation has lagged behind that of its regional peers - against the backdrop of a generous subsidy programme.  In a note on Thursday (Aug 17), HSBC Global Research said the revised Budget 2023 unveiled by the government in February expects a fiscal deficit of only 3.2% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2025, almost on a par with pre-Covid-19 pandemic levels.

A lean but mean private delegation of tycoons and business leaders accompanied President Marcos to the United States to seize opportunities to finalize investment deals with American companies, which are again looking closely at the Philippines given the more cordial relations between the two countries.
