On April 8th, it was reported that in order to rectify the chaotic spread of "AI-modified" videos, the State Administration of Radio and Television launched a month-long special campaign in January 2026.

Influenced by the hawkish tone, the New Zealand dollar strengthened to 0.5819 at one point. Marcel Tillient, Head of Asia Pacific at Capital Economics, stated that the RBNZ seemed to have a conflicted attitude towards the "impact of the energy shock." "As a result, we expect the RBNZ to wait until the fourth quarter rather than the third quarter as predicted by the OIS market before tightening policy." The RBNZ did not provide comprehensive economic forecasts in its monetary policy assessment, but indicated that it expects inflation to rise to 4.2% in the June quarter. The statement said, "The extent of near-term increases in headline inflation will depend on how the Middle East conflict evolves and the extent and duration of disruptions to global supply chains and energy markets." The statement said the committee remains focused on returning inflation to its 2% target over the medium term, which requires core inflation and wage growth to remain under control and inflation expectations to stabilize at 2%. The statement said, "If these conditions are not met, a decisive and timely increase in the OCR will be necessary."Malaysian Prime Minister: Iran’s ten-point initiative foreshadows a good prospect for the restoration of peace and stability.April 8th - According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, my countrys electronic information manufacturing industry experienced rapid production growth, a positive export recovery, significant improvement in profitability, and accelerated investment growth in January and February this year.
