Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

apnews.com/article/poland-uk-nato-ukraine-sunak-military-aid-be9fa8b106eda83c2da140e0f2774fcb

Quick Glance: UK Boosts Defense Spending, Provides $620 Million Military Aid to Ukraine

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced an increase in defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade, along with a pledge to provide Ukraine with new military aid totaling $620 million, including weapons, armored vehicles, and ammunition.

Sunak described the heightened spending as the most significant strengthening of national defense in a generation, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant in the face of current geopolitical threats.

The UK commits to an additional £75 billion in defense spending over the next six years, aiming to raise defense expenditure to 2.5% of GDP, reaffirming a target set by Boris Johnson in 2022.

The announcement followed similar moves by the US, approving $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, signaling an escalated international response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine.

Quick Glance: Europe's Economy Falling Behind: Enrico Letta Urges Action

Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.

Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.

European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.

Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill

The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could find themselves in a complicated situation, according to an expert, if King Charles invites them to join the Royal Family at Balmoral.

It is expected that King Charles will extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit the Scottish retreat this year, as it is customary for the monarch to invite family members during the holiday season.

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn suggests that an invitation to the retreat could present a 'difficult' situation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan by 'hinting' at a visit to Balmoral this summer to improve relationships within the Royal family.

Quick Glance: UK on Track to Exit Recession with Rising GDP

Britain's GDP rose by 0.1% in February despite heavy rainfall affecting the construction sector and retail.

Sectors like manufacturing and services experienced growth, while construction saw declines due to bad weather.

Recent months of economic growth suggest the recession may soon come to an end, although pressure from the cost of living crisis and higher prices persists for households and businesses.

Despite the positive growth in 2024, GDP remains below 2023 levels and has been stagnant since early 2022, with real wages continuing to decrease and many facing financial difficulties.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Liz Truss became Prime Minister and resigned after just 49 days, despite her husband's prediction that 'it would all end in tears'.

Truss assumed office on September 6, 2022, succeeding Boris Johnson, but faced early challenges and personal struggles.

Despite implementing economic measures and facing political turbulence, Truss resigned after a mini-budget led to a pensions crisis.

Quick Glance: US, Britain, Australia Consider Expanding AUKUS to Deter China

The U.S., Britain, and Australia are initiating talks to expand their AUKUS security pact, with a focus on involving Japan as a deterrent against China, according to the Financial Times.

The defense ministers will discuss 'Pillar Two' of the pact, aiming to jointly develop quantum computing, undersea, hypersonic, artificial intelligence, and cyber technology.

The U.S. is advocating for Japan's inclusion in the second pillar while ruling out expansion of the first pillar, which involves supplying nuclear-powered submarines to Australia.

Formed in 2021, the AUKUS pact aims to counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The potential addition of Japan to Pillar Two is expected to be announced soon.
