On February 19th, China submitted its "Position Paper on WTO Reform under the Current Situation" to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The head of the WTO Department of the Ministry of Commerce provided an interpretation of the position paper. The overall position outlines Chinas general understanding of the WTO and its basic attitude towards WTO reform. The position paper states that the WTO provides open, non-discriminatory, stable, and predictable institutional guarantees for economic globalization. While the multilateral trading system has been impacted by unilateral tariff measures, and trade tensions have intensified, WTO rules and mechanisms remain a crucial barrier against trade turmoil. Unilateralism and protectionism are not the solution; all parties should address the real challenges brought about by economic globalization through multilateral cooperation, domestic reforms, and inclusive and mutually beneficial development. The position paper emphasizes that economic globalization is an unstoppable historical trend. WTO reform should aim to strengthen multilateral trade governance, uphold the most-favored-nation (MFN) treatment as the cornerstone of the WTO rules system, and place development at the center of the WTO reform agenda. It should address long-standing unresolved issues while exploring and formulating new rules for the future.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Assistant Governor Silk: Even with a small rate hike, interest rates will only be near the bottom of the neutral range.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Assistant Governor Silk: Maintaining an accommodative policy for some time is in line with reality.Sources say Germany is considering purchasing more F-35 fighter jets from the United States.Market news: Vietnam Airlines is in talks with Boeing (BA.N) to purchase 30 wide-body passenger aircraft.

Panasonic Anticipates A Rise in Global Automobile Production This Fiscal Year

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.


(This item corrects the firm name in paragraph 1 to Panasonic Holdings Corp from Panasonic Corp, and the sales growth forecast in paragraph 4 to 19 percent from 10 percent, and the operating profit forecast to nearly 17 percent from 15 percent decline.)
