This quarter, the country's central bank will begin examining two potential cross-border CBDC settlement models. Reports indicate that Russia's central bank will begin developing a cross-border settlement system utilizing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in response to ongoing sanctions imposed in response to its invasion of Ukraine. According to a report published on January 9 by local media outlet Kommersant, Russia's central bank will examine two potential cross-border settlement models as part of its plans to move forward with the digital ruble in the first quarter of 2023.

Each agreement would ensure that the conversion and transfer of assets between the countries adhere to the terms of the agreement. The second, more complex model proposes a single hub-like platform for Russia to interact with other countries, with shared protocol...

Six executives involved in the $1.5 billion (2 trillion won) V Global crypto exchange fraud received up to eight years in prison. Three were not detained so they could fight certain charges in court. V Global recruited 50,000 investors between July 2020 and April 2021 by promising 300% returns and referral bonuses.

Wells Fargo and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reached a $3.7 billion settlement involving customer abuses related to checking accounts, mortgages, and auto loans, with some of the misconduct occurring as recently as this year. The business was sentenced to pay a record-breaking $1.7 billion civil penalty and more than $2 billion to 16 million customers, according to a statement from the CFPB. The San Francisco-based bank stated in a separate statement that many of the settlement's "necessary activities" have already been accomplished.

The bank improperly charged fees and interest on auto and mortgage loans, wrongfully seized consumers' vehicles, and misapplied payments to auto and mortgage debts.

Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, has today (19 December 2022) agreed a nearly £60 billion package for councils in England for the next fiscal year, ensuring that councils can continue to provide essential frontline services. The settlement means councils throughout England will receive an additional £5 billion, a 9% increase over last year's settlement, as the government continues to support councils and public services despite mounting financial pressures. The agreement for the following year contains a one-time Funding Guarantee that ensures every council in England will get at least a 3% increase in core spending power before any local decisions are made regarding council tax. Alongside this, the government confirmed today a new £100 million scheme for councils to safeguard the most vulnerable households from council tax hikes, fulfilling the campaign pledge to protect local taxpayers from excessive increases.

Economists said on Thursday that the Malaysian economy will slow down in 2023 because of tough conditions outside the country and slower domestic demand. In a report, Maybank Investment Bank Research said that it expects Malaysia's full-year growth to slow down to 4% in 2023, down from 8% in 2022. This is mostly because domestic demand will have slowed down. The research firm thinks that private consumption will grow more slowly next year as people spend the money they have been saving since the economy fully reopened. This will be made worse by the effects of high inflation and high interest rates on the cost of living and real disposable income. It also predicts that the growth of public consumption will slow down, which is in line with the fact that the government will spend less on operating costs in Budget 2023. It also said that because the world economy is expected to grow more slowly, exports and imports of goods and services will fall. The growth of Malaysia's gross do...
