New Delhi: Adani Ports says it has appointed MSKA & Associates as the statutory auditors of the company, effective Aug 12. The move comes after Adani Ports voted at a board meeting last Saturday to accept the resignation of Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP. The appointment is effective until the date of the company's next annual general meeting to be held in 2024, Adani said in a regulatory filing. The Indian unit of Deloitte in May raised concerns over transactions between Adani Ports and three entities that Adani said were unrelated parties.

A provincial government in East China is relaxing the upper age limit of construction workers to solve labor shortage issues at construction sites as the country contends with an aging society and graying blue-collar workforce. China's national retirement age is 60 for men and as early as 50 for women. Jiangsu province is allowing laborers who are above that ceiling to continue working on construction sites. It will cap the number of people who are up to five years over the age for men and 10 for women at 10% of a project's workforce, according to a notice released by the province's Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on May 25.

Paris, France — French President Emmanuel Macron signed his controversial pension reform into law Saturday, defying three months of protests and pleas from unions not to implement the legislation. The alterations became law after the text was published overnight in France's official journal. This followed the approval on Friday by the Constitutional Council of the essence of the legislation, including the banner change of raising the retirement age from 62 to 64. Unions warned they were calling for mass Labor Day protests on May 1, and sometimes violent demonstrations erupted in several cities overnight after the verdict was announced.
