Autoworker strike an early sign of how shift to EVs will ripple through economy

20 Sept 2023  |  www.spglobal.com  |  English  |  Climate Change

The United Auto Workers' strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis is indicative of broader conflicts that may arise as the economy transitions from fossil fuels to electric vehicles (EVs). This shift impacts labor, with potential job losses in traditional auto manufacturing and its supply chain. The strike, which began on September 15, has yet to be resolved through labor negotiations. The transition to EVs is part of a larger effort to combat climate change, as evidenced by severe weather events and their economic impacts. Experts at the World Petroleum Congress discussed these issues, highlighting the need for an industrial policy to manage the workforce transition and the challenges faced by traditional automakers against competitors like Tesla.

Exporters Living in Erdogan's World Find No Place Is Like Home

04 Oct 2023  |  leaderpost.com  |  English  |  Export Market

Turkish exporters are facing a challenging economic environment as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan balances competing priorities ahead of elections. Despite a record year for exports, local companies are finding domestic demand more appealing due to an overvalued currency and recession fears in Europe. The Turkish government has implemented policies to stabilize the lira and stimulate the economy, but businesses are calling for a more competitive exchange rate. The situation is further complicated by high inflation and a significant trade deficit. Key stakeholders, including the Aegean Exporters’ Associations and Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati, are advocating for strategic adjustments to support local production and exports.
