New York state lawmakers ended the 2023 legislative session without voting on twin bills meant to overhaul the process for restructuring sovereign debt. That puts the proposed measures, which stood to cap how much private creditors could receive from governments when re-negotiating debt, on ice - at least until state senators and assembly members reconvene for the 2024 session in January. Proponents of the bills have vowed to push ahead on the legislation, which can be picked up where it was left in the New York assembly's ways and means committee and the senate's judiciary committee.

NEW YORK – Most Wall Street banks are likely to report lower quarterly earnings and face a dour outlook for the rest of the year, with last month's regional banking crisis and a slowing economy expected to hurt profitability. Earnings per share for the six biggest U.S. banks are expected to be down about 10 percent from a year earlier, analyst estimates from Refinitiv I/B/E/S show. Banks start reporting results on April 14. Access to cheap deposits, which swelled for bigger banks as savers fled smaller lenders in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last month, likely boosted net interest income for the largest banks, analysts said.

Palm oil is the world's most produced and consumed vegetable oil and everyone knows that its production can damage the environment. But do consumers have the full picture? In fact, replacing palm oil with rapeseed oil would require a four to five-fold increase in the amount of land needed. Research led by the University of Göttingen investigated the attitudes, beliefs and understanding about palm oil of the general public in Germany, and how this links to land use. The researchers show that people find it hard to know the consequences of their buying choices, even when extra information is supplied.
