Man City decided to keep Cancelo and Bernardo. Two Portuguese players have been linked with a move to the Nou Camp this summer. Barca’s offer is in exchange for full-back Sergi Roberto and striker Ousmane Dembele moving in the opposite direction. However, sources from Man City say they are not interested in any swap deal. The rumors appeared after Barca continuously recruited stars out of contract Man City such as Sergio Aguero and Eric Garcia on a free transfer. Cancelo has been eyed by Barca but with four years remaining on his contract, it is unlikely he will leave City this summer. Moreover, this player is receiving the absolute trust of Pep and shows no sign of dissatisfaction after a good season. Meanwhile, Bernardo is said to be aiming to move to Spain this summer. But his future will only be discussed after the EURO. The 26-year-old midfielder is with Cancelo and Ruben Dias focusing on the goal of defending the Portuguese throne. Reports in Spain suggest that Barca have targeted seven stars in coach Pep Guardiola’s squad. In addition to Aguero, Garcia, Cancelo and Bernardo, the Catalan team also wants Ilkay Gundogan, Aymeric Laporte and Raheem Sterling. However, it seems Man City no longer wants to do business with the Catalan team after they lost two of their stars without receiving a single transfer. Not only have Barca contacted a number of Man City’s star players this summer, but they are even said to have “courted” former Green Man nutritionist Silvia Tremoleda. This female expert left Man City 2 years ago.

At the same time, President Biden said that the upcoming meeting with President Putin is important and he will ask Moscow to cooperate in areas of mutual interest if the Kremlin chooses to do the same, according to Reuters. “I want to make it clear to President Putin that there are areas where we can cooperate if he chooses to go this way. If he chooses not to cooperate and act the way he has in the past with regard to cybersecurity and certain other activities, we will respond in the same way,” Biden said. However, President Biden also said that he would make it clear to Putin where the “red lines” are. “I have shared with our allies what will convey to Putin, that I do not seek conflict with Russia but we will respond if Russia continues its harmful activities and we will not. failed to defend the transatlantic alliance. We stand for democratic values,” Biden said. In addition, the White House president also noted that “it would be a disaster” if Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny died in prison. Specifically, according to the US leader, “Mr Navalny’s death will be another sign that Russia has little or no intention to adhere to basic human rights. It was a disaster. That does nothing but hurt Russia’s relationship with the rest of the world.” It is known that the meeting between President Biden and his counterpart Putin is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City. Geneva (Switzerland) on June 16. Both Washington and Moscow welcomed the upcoming summit as a positive step towards finding stability in the bilateral relationship.

ODA capital has made an important contribution to infrastructure investment, promoting socio-economic development. Thus, localities will also be easier to apply and foreign organizations will also find it more convenient to carry out procedures for central and local governments. Reporter: The Ministry of Finance is soliciting public comments on the draft circular guiding the state financial management of foreign non-refundable aid as part of state budget revenue. From some facts about receiving foreign aid from the localities where Oxfam has provided aid, do you have any comments on the development of this circular? Mr. Pham Quang Tu: Faced with the fact that many localities are still confused in guiding the implementation of legal documents related to the receipt of foreign aid, I highly appreciate the fact that the Ministry of Finance has actively developed this circular to guide guidelines on financial management of foreign aid under the state budget in three different decrees, namely Decree 56 on ODA aid, Decree 80 on non-ODA aid and Decree 50 on emergency relief and disaster recovery. Mr. Pham Quang Tu An example in the implementation of Oxfam’s projects is the flood emergency relief program in Central 2020. The understanding and application of this fund by local governments are different. For Quang Tri and Quang Nam provinces, they immediately identified Oxfam’s support capital under the implementation guidelines of Decree 50. While Ha Tinh and Quang Binh have concerns about applying Decree 80 or Decree 50. From that example, it can be seen that, the same source of foreign funding, whether it is from the state budget or not from the budget, but with different sources being adjusted under different regulations, localities have different interpretations. , so there is confusion in how to apply the appropriate regulations, leading to many aid sources not being implemented in a timely and rapid manner compared to needs. If this situation continues, it may lead to us not being able to take full advantage of foreign aid sources, causing donors to move to another locality or to another country, which is a pity. Therefore, when the Ministry of Finance issues a common guideline for all 3 Decrees for sources under state budget management, it will create a synchronism as well as make it easy to understand for aid-receiving organizations. A good idea, worth noting. I hope that the guidance of this circular will help local governments better understand how to approve and implement projects to avoid overlap. Reporter: This new draft circular has specific regulations on the construction of foreign aid capital estimates. What is your view on this matter? Mr. Pham Quang Tu: In my opinion, the construction of an estimate is common and necessary when following a general financial management process, including: estimation, expenditure, and finalization, but it is necessary to calculate which type is appropriate. The draft circular contains provisions on annual, 3-year and 5-year financial planning for foreign aid sources under the state budget. However, out of the three sources of ODA, non-ODA aid, and emergency aid, it seems that only ODA can be identified in the long term and thus 5-year financial planning is almost exclusively applicable to this resource. As for the other two types of capital, it will be difficult to make a 5-year plan. Even if there is a plan, the practicality and feasibility are not high, especially for emergency relief according to Decree 50, it is even less planned, because it is only determined when natural disasters occur. Therefore, using a common estimation model for all three types of capital sources will lead to stereotypes, rigidity and impracticability. Figures 3 years and 5 years are only forecasts, so the error in planning for 3 years and 5 years will be more, until implementation will have to be adjusted a lot. Therefore, when implementing, it is necessary to create flexibility in adjusting compared to the plan without having to create too strict requirements, avoiding asking for up, down and approval many times. In my opinion, for investment aid, the planning should be applied on a 3-year, 5-year cycle. As for the source of emergency relief, it should be flexible and should ensure prompt approval so that it can be implemented due to its emergency nature of relief. Reporter: From the perspective of organizations providing foreign aid to Vietnam, what recommendations do you have for this draft decree? Mr. Pham Quang Tu: First of all, as discussed above, I think that planning needs to be more flexible, not rigid, most importantly, it is necessary to focus more on the process of controlling expenses and payment. In addition, in my opinion, Clause 2 of Article 2 should be removed in the draft circular on the subject of application being “agencies in charge of foreign aid programs/projects/non-projects”. The reason is that the governing body is not the one to directly manage and use the aid. For example, if the Department of Agriculture of Province A is the grant holder/project owner, the Provincial People’s Committee is the governing body. In this case, the Provincial People’s Committee is only the competent authority to approve and allow the department to receive this aid, but the funding will be transferred to the account and managed by the Department of Agriculture. With the regulation that the governing body is the subject of the circular, it means that the Provincial People’s Committee must perform all the contents that the project owner, the Department of Agriculture, must do. This is an unrealistic and formal regulation because the Provincial People’s Committee does not manage money but only receives reports from the Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture is a state agency and a legal entity, when directly the project owner will have to take full responsibility and if there are errors in the implementation process, they must be responsible before the law and authorities. on. PV: Thank you sir! Proposing the Government to develop a joint decree “In foreign aid, there are two types: state budget (state budget) and non-state budget. Therefore, to ensure uniformity, we suggest that, through the development of this circular, the Ministry of Finance can summarize and advise and propose the Government to develop a common decree, guiding the entire the process of calling for the receipt, management and use of foreign grants. In that joint decree, it will divide into two branches of budgetary and non-budgetary sources, including all from ODA, non-ODA and emergency relief sources. This will ensure synchronization…”

In early February, TikTok – owned by China’s ByteDance group – agreed with Italian authorities to block all accounts under the age of 13. This is one of the measures taken after the tragic incident of a 10-year-old girl in Italy when performing a challenge on TikTok. In the latest announcement, Italy’s data regulator said: “The measures applied have made a lot of sense, but the results are not enough.” Therefore, the agency recommends that TikTok cancel any accounts connected to users under the age of 13 within 48 hours, making this access more difficult for young users, and launch media campaigns to solve the problem Love that this platform is not built for use by people under the age of 13. In addition, the Italian agency also suggested that TikTok have solutions, including the use of artificial intelligence, to reduce the risks of having teenagers under the age of 13 accessing and using the TikTok platform. Over the past months, TikTok has asked more than 12.5 million users in Italy to verify their age. In the announcement, Ms. Alexandra Evans – head of child protection at TikTok – said: “Following discussions with regulators earlier this year, we have piloted additional measures to ensure that only users 13 years of age or older can use it”.

Businesses have difficulty when the Indian government suspends the license to import Wi-Fi devices According to Reuters sources, India delayed the approval of imports of Wi-Fi modules from China for several months. These include complete electronics like Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones, smartphones, smartwatches, laptops, all of which contain a Wi-Fi module. The Wireless Planning and Coordination Agency (WPC) under the Ministry of Communications of India has suspended the license since November 2020. More than 80 applications from US, Chinese and Korean businesses are waiting. Even records from some domestic companies have the same fate. Tough stance on Chinese imports comes amid Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling for stronger economic self-sufficiency. His policies have helped spur the assembly of smartphones in the country. Reuters sources believe that the latest move by the government to persuade companies to allocate more electronics production in India. However, technology businesses are faced with a difficult situation: production in India requires a large amount of capital and has to wait a long time to be profitable. On the other hand, the government has imposed import barriers that put them at risk of huge losses. In the past, India allowed companies to self-declare wireless equipment, making it easier to import. However, the invitation rule in March 2019 requires them to seek government permission. Although India is already the world’s second-largest mobile phone maker, analysts and technology experts say the country is not of enough scale or scale for big companies to invest. into manufacturing IT products and smart wearables. Watch out for Chinese technology The delay in WPC licensing also represents a strategy to reduce China’s influence on India’s technology industry, especially following last year’s border clash. This week, Modi’s government removed Huawei from the list of companies tested for 5G, while competitors from Europe and South Korea were allowed. Once 5G starts rolling out here, New Delhi is likely to ban carriers from using Huawei equipment. In 2020, US businesses such as Apple, Cisco and Dell will also be stuck in Sino-Indian tensions when Indian ports “detain” imports from China. At the end of 2020, India tightens papers proving the quality of Chinese goods, slowing down the process of importing iPhones. Currently, once they have obtained the proof of quality, they are stuck at another gate, which is the WPC. Du Lam (Reuters)

As VnEconomy reportedAccording to the latest figures from the State Bank, in the first quarter of 2021, real estate credit has reached 1.85 million billion dong, up 3%. So this number has fully reflected and is the main reason why the real estate market is so hot today?

During the past 3 years, real estate investment credit has always been closely cared and controlled by the State Bank. Therefore, credit growth in this area tends to decrease. In 2020 alone, it will increase by only 11.89%, while the previous two years 2018 and 2019 will increase from 26-28%.

According to the operator’s representative, at the end of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, real estate credit tends to inch up a bit. However, the growth rate is only equivalent to the overall credit growth of the whole country of 2.93%.

Credit for life has also reached nearly 1.87 million billion, up 1.2% compared to the beginning of the year. In particular, although it is difficult, it is also necessary to evaluate how much consumer credit is poured into real estate.

At the same time, compared to the same period in 2020 when the epidemic causes the real estate credit rate to increase by 1.84%, the above rate may be higher. But compared with the time of the first quarter of 2019 was 5.19% and the previous years, this rate is not higher, even much lower.

If you look at the above statistics, it can be seen that real estate credit is not the main cause of the current “land fever”.

However, when VnEconomy exchanged with an economist, he said that the above figure could not fully assess the credit flow flowing into real estate. Because, credit for life has also reached nearly 1.87 million billion, or 1.2% increase compared to the beginning of the year. In particular, although it is difficult, it is necessary to evaluate how much consumer credit is poured into real estate.

“When surveying a few projects that are selling land plots in the outskirts of Hanoi, I find that the buyers are mainly speculators, they not only buy 1 or 2 plots, but buy the whole range. In addition to existing out-of-pocket money, capital from the bank is indispensable. It is worth mentioning that they are allowed to borrow capital in the form of consumption, but with the amount of up to tens of billion dong, ”said the expert.

Besides, he also said that the real estate market is welcoming many new “players”. They are inherently participating in other industries, but due to the Covid-19 translation, their production and business have stalled. While real estate profit margin skyrocketed, so decided to change direction. In fact, just go online to search for the phrase “encroach on real estate” to be able to identify these new “players”.

“The capital accumulated for many years has been converted to real estate, while the capital for business operations is borrowed from the bank. Thus, this credit flow will be listed on production and business activities, not on real estate. The statistic is just the tip of the iceberg, ”said the expert.

The State Bank is asking credit institutions to inspect and strengthen supervision of regulations on real estate lending conditions, to ensure compliance with regulations, while being able to manage cash flow when loan.

That is an expert opinion, but on the part of the State Bank, Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu said there are many reasons for the real estate market to overheat in recent years, such as rumors about planning information, the supply is limited while the demand is great, the land price list increases …

In addition, Mr. Tu also noted that real estate loans have two subjects, one is lending to the low-cost housing market segments, social houses or real estate with the nature of consumption. it is still guaranteed to serve the people well.

Second, real estate projects and high-end segments such as villas, resorts … with poor liquidity in the future will be revalued and strictly controlled.

“Real estate credit status higher than overall credit growth only appears in a few credit institutions and mainly focuses on the first object,” said the Deputy Governor.

Over the past years, the State Bank has consistently maintained its management target and has taken many measures to control credit in potentially risky areas, including real estate. For example, the system is implementing a regulation on short-term deposits for medium and long-term loans at 40% and that these loans must apply a risk factor of about 200%.

At the same time, the Deputy Governor also said that the State Bank is asking credit institutions to inspect and strengthen supervision of regulations on real estate lending conditions, to ensure compliance with regulations, in parallel. with that is managing cash flow when lending.

“The most important goal of 2021 when setting a credit growth target of 12% is to focus on the priority and necessary areas. Focusing on key works and projects of the State, as well as prioritizing certain economic sectors, such as exports to support economic growth rates according to the goals set by the National Assembly. Therefore, real estate credit will be tightly controlled and cannot increase hotly ”, Mr. Tu emphasized.

According to the Russia Today report, after the sudden inspection of Russian forces stationed at the border with Ukraine on April 13, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu stated that the Russian army is ready for the worst scenario, that is is if tensions between Russia and the West escalate to the point of full-scale engagement.

According to the report, after that inspection, Minister Shoigu told reporters that the soldiers had met the standards needed to respond to the situation. “The soldiers have shown that they are well prepared and fully competent to complete the task of ensuring the military security of the country,” said Mr. Shoigu.

He also added that this force is conducting an exercise in the border area.

Shoigu said the military deployment was “in response to the joint military operations that threaten Russia”. He also added, “Washington’s troops are moving from the North American continent to Europe across the Atlantic and they are crossing Europe into the Russian border. The main force is concentrated in the Black Sea area. and the Baltic Sea “.

According to the report, Mr. Shoigu also stated that the conflict between Russia and the West is forming a new front line in the Arctic: “To strengthen the defenses of the Russian Federation and protect its national interests in the North Pole. The North Pole, the Department of Defense is working systematically to improve the Northern Fleet’s Combat capabilities. “

Shoigu’s tough statement was made in the context of President Joe Biden and President Vladimir Putin held a telephone call on April 13, the two leaders discussed many regional and global issues, including the situation Ukraine, however, the two sides did not achieve any results on this issue.

The US side continued to emphasize America’s firm commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, expressed concern about Russia’s sudden military increase in Crimea and Ukraine’s borders, and urged Russia to de-escalate. straight.

With that in mind, NATO is planning to dispatch some 40,000 troops and 15,000 different weapons, including strategic aircraft, to gather near the Russian border. NATO also recently launched its biggest 30-year drills exercise called Defender Europe 2021 near Russia. According to Mr. Shoigu, NATO’s actions clearly carry “anti-Russian tendencies”.

In particular, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg said on April 13 that Russia does not have the right to interfere in Ukraine’s accession to NATO, whether or not Kiev can join is due to the decision of 30 NATO member countries.

Shortly thereafter, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken continued on April 14 to emphasize that Washington would stand side by side with Kiev in tensions with Russia. Blinken also announced that he would discuss Ukraine’s desire to join NATO, despite Moscow’s objections.

On the Ukraine side, Mr. Andriy Yermak, chief of the Ukraine Presidential Office, said in an interview with Time magazine: “Ukraine is against Russia not only for itself but also for Western countries”. Therefore, it is necessary to deploy the US Patriot air defense missile system on the territory of Ukraine.

“Where does the US deploy Patriot missiles? Most recently in Poland. They should be deployed here,” said Andriy Yermak.

According to the report, in December 2014, Ukraine amended its law to give up its non-alignment. In June 2016, Ukraine saw its accession to NATO as a foreign policy goal. In February 2019, the National Assembly of Ukraine approved a constitutional amendment, which clearly defines Ukraine’s policy on joining the European Union and NATO.

These moves show that the tense situation in eastern Ukraine is on the verge of turning into a large-scale conflict between Russia and the US and NATO. Experts say that the US and Russia are playing the “craters of war” game, the party who “goes into the water” first will be the loser.
