[Courtesy of FSC] South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has postponed the release of a plan aimed at easing the rule on the separation of financial and industrial capital, allowing financial entities to diversify into non-financial domains. The decision stems from the FSC's assessment that, in a scenario where the real economy's recovery is slower than anticipated, additional time is essential for comprehensively evaluating the implications of the rule change.According to sources from the FSC on Thursday, the regulatory body has opted for an extended process involving soliciting opinions on relaxing the demarcation between financial and non-financial spheres.

A research team led by Northwestern University and the University of Pennsylvania scientists has created a new synthetic biology approach, a "QR code for cancer cells," to follow tumor cells over time, finding there are meaningful differences in why a cancer cell dies or survives in response to anti-cancer therapies. Remarkably, what fate cancer cells choose after months of therapy is "entirely predictable" based on seemingly small, yet important, differences that appear even before treatment begins.

LA JOLLA, CA—Scripps Research scientists have shown that analyzing a certain type of immune cell in the blood can help identify people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, a life-threatening autoimmune disease. The new approach, if validated in further studies, could be used to select suitable patients for treatment that stops the autoimmune process—making type 1 diabetes a preventable condition. In the study, which appeared in Science Translational Medicine on July 5, 2023, the researchers isolated T cells (a type of immune cell) from mouse and human blood samples.

TAIPEI–Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen vowed Saturday to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait in the face of increased military pressure from China, saying that 'war is not an option'. Under Tsai's two terms as president, the self-ruled island has seen stepped-up warplanes and sea incursions from China — which claims Taiwan as its territory to be taken one day, by force if necessary. Tsai — who rejects that Taiwan is a part of China — said that during her tenure, residents have shown the world 'Taiwan's determination to defend itself'.

The IMF completed the mid-term review of Chile's qualification under the Flexible Credit Line (FCL) arrangement. The arrangement was approved on August 29, 2022, for an amount of about US$18.5 billion (equivalent to 800 percent of quota). Chile continues to qualify for the FCL by virtue of its very strong economic fundamentals and institutional policy frameworks, and sustained track record of very strong macroeconomic policies. In view of the still elevated external risks, the authorities have expressed a desire to maintain the current level of access and are committed to gradually exit the arrangement conditional on the evolution of external risks.

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia's central bank said on Tuesday it will intervene in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the ringgit currency, citing what it called 'excessive' recent losses. The ringgit is trading near a seven-month low and has lost close to 6 percent of its value against the U.S. dollar this year, declining more than its peers in Southeast Asia. Bank Negara Malaysia said the extent of the ringgit's depreciation was not reflective of economic fundamentals, and that recent volatility was also disproportionately higher than historic movements.
