- Shipping Stocks Reach Fresh Highs Despite Covid-Era Supply Challenges
Covid-19 has indeed caused numerous supply chaos in various sectors. Counting from global supply chain breakdowns, increased shipping costs, clogged ports, empty store shelves, to rising inflation, the pandemic has left many suppliers and consumers desperate not knowing what to expect next. This has been triggered, especially by the new delta variant. This, however, does not mean that all shipping suppliers are facing hard times. For instance, after the summer season, bulker owners, container lines, container-ship lessors, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers’ shares are rising to hit new peaks. However, those heavily exposed to the new delta variant, including stocks of crude and product tanker owners, are yet to join the list. Big Week for Dry Bulk Shipping Stocks Three dry bulk shipping stocks- Safe Bulkers (NYSE: SB), Diana Shipping (NYSE: DSX), and Genco Shipping and Trading (NYSE: GNK)- have experienced enticing achievements in this week's statistics. Their shares have attained 52-week highs on Monday. Other dry bulk shipping stocks are also close to annual tops. For example, the Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF (NYSE: BDRY), which is an exchange-traded fund that purchases freight futures, traded at the highest level on Monday since the ETF's inception in March 2018. Capsizes' rates (bulkers with a capacity of around 180,000 deadweight tons or DWT) surged 15% on Monday to $52,900 per day. Those for Panamaxes (65,000 to 90,000 DWT) reached at around $34,4000 per day while rates for Supramaxes (45,000 to 60,000 DWT) flowed to around $34,900 per day. However, these rates are still not close to the pinnacles reached in 2007-2008 trading. With the shares of Safe Bulkers rising 17% in five times the average trading volume on Monday, the statistics show that shares of dry bulk stocks have risen by around 200-400% over the past year. This growth outpaces container stocks in several scenarios. Container Stocks Hit Highs in September Container-ship lessor Euroseas (NASDAQ: ESEA) reached its 52-week peak on Monday this week. This happens after most container stocks withdrew due to low single digits during the trading session. Other container stock entities that hit 52-week this month include Global Ship Lease (NYSE: GSL) and Costamare (NYSE: CMRE) on Friday, ZIM (NYSE: ZIM) and Matson (NYSE: MATX) on September 6, and Danaos (NYSE: DAC) the week before that. Most container liner and ship-lessor stocks rise by around 100-400% over the past year. Danaos (1,508%) and Euroseas (1,204%) were the leading during the trading period. Not the Same Case for Tankers Covid-19 has been a blessing for container stocks as most have been trading high amidst the pandemic. For instance, the increased US consumer demand and widespread port congestion have effectively reduced transport capacity. Freight and charter rates have also remained at record levels. However, this is not the same case for crude and product tanker stocks. The global oil demand has taken longer to recover than expected due to the raging delta variant. Most tanker stocks have been treading water over the past year. For example, Scorpio Tankers (NYSE: STNG), which is the best performer at 24% is underperforming at S&P 500. Nordic American Tankers (NYSE: NAT), which is the retail traders’ favourite recorded the worst performance with a decline of 40%. Liquefied Natural Gas stocks are, however, enjoying increased demand over the past year. The LNG shipping demand is also hiked by widespread incentives as both traders and energy companies profit from buying gas in the US and selling it overseas. For example, according to Cleaves Securities, the US and Japan spread hub price is almost $17 per million British thermal units while the US and UK spread is over $15.

- Facebook To Launch The First Pair Of Ray-Ban Stories In Partnership With EssilorLuxottica
Facebook, in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, Ray-Ban's parent company, is set to launch the first pair of smart sunglasses on Thursday this week. The Ray-Ban Stories, which will be going for $299, will be stocked in all stores selling Ray-Bans, including LensCrafters and Sunglasses Hut stores. These smart glasses feature two front-facing cameras that capture videos and photos. They also sync with Facebook View, a companion roll app where you can edit and share the capture clips to other apps on your phone. Besides, they also have a physical button for recording. Or, you can just say, “Hey Facebook, take a video” to control them hands-free. Ray-Ban Stories are also a sleeker version of Snapchat’s Spectacles due to their core ability to take photos and videos. Snapchat’s Spectacles were first launched in 2016 with a lot of hype that quickly fizzled. Also, though Ray-Bans do not have displays in the lens like the latest Spectacles that were unveiled earlier this year, they have speakers on both sides of the frame that can play sound from your phone via Bluetooth. These allow you to answer a call or listen to a podcast without taking out your phone. A touchpad built on the side of the frame also lets you adjust the volume or play and pause what you’re hearing. In what appears as the multiyear partnership between Facebook and Ray-Ban, Ray-Ban Stories are the most normal-looking smart glasses in the market with an advanced technology that overlays graphics onto the real world. They also have high-quality built-in features and functionality. For instance, they have an easy initial pairing and take a few seconds to sync footage from the glasses back to the View app through a Wi-Fi connection. The two 5-megapixel cameras can capture over three dozen, 30-second video clips or 500 photos before filing the on-device memory. A light on the inside of the glasses also gives you a range of information: green color indicates fully charged, orange shows battery low, blue shows pairing mode, red for dead battery or overheating, and white for a capture error. There is also a separate front-facing white light next to the right camera that illuminates whenever the glasses are recording. How the Partnership Was Formed Facebook and Ray-Ban’s partnership is one of the unique partnerships that Facebook has ever made. This happened over two years ago when Roco Basilico, Luxottica's chief wearable officer, emailed Mark Zuckerberg asking him to meet and discuss the smart glasses' collaboration. Of course, Mark had earlier publicly laid out Facebook’s aspiration to make AR glasses that could be widely adopted as mobile phones. In his 2017 speech at Facebook’s developer conference, Mark Zuckerberg showed the crowd a mockup of smart glasses that looked like Ray-Bans. At the same time, Roco Basilico was leading Luxottica’s smart glasses efforts and knew the company needed to partner with an equal giant tech company to make them. The two companies sealed the deal in earlier 2019 when Mark flew to Milan to meet Leonardo Del Vecchio, Luxottica's founder, and chairman. Facebook's hardware executives then toured Luxottica's sprawling research center in northern Italy. This is where most features of the smart glasses (codenamed “Stella”) were decided after a weeklong workshop with top executives from both companies. It is also vital to note that Ray-Ban Stories are not decidedly Facebook-branded products like the Oculus VR headset or Portal video-calling device. Facebook only supplies the tech and software that powers the glasses, while Ray-Ban oversees the designing process and sells them. And, though both companies have different ideas behind the creation of Ray-Ban Stories, what seems to be a common goal is to build a competitive ground with smart devices that will be the next big thing.

- Sajid Javid Confirms Ditching Of Covid-19 Vaccine Passport Plan
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has confirmed that the government has ditched the plans to introduce Covid-19 vaccine passports. While speaking to the BBC, Sajid said the government shouldn’t be doing things for the sake of it, and some plans would cripple certain industries, leading to slow economic recovery. The vaccine passports scheme, which was planned to be effective from the end of this month, would require all members of the public to show proof that they have taken the two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine for them to be allowed in clubs and other crowded places. However, the plan was criticized by some MPs and venues who were not pleased with the new regulations. Besides, the Night-Time Industries Association also said the plans could cripple the industry and see more nightclubs facing discrimination cases. Tory MPs, on the Covid Recovery Group and the Liberal Democrats, led by Ed Davey, also opposed the scheme saying it was divisive, unworkable, and expensive. As such, Health Secretary Sajid's statement comes as a moment of joy to the club owners and the general public. While speaking on The Andrew Marr Show, Mr. Javid said, "I have never liked the idea of saying to people you must show your papers or something to do what is just an everyday activity, but we were right to properly look at it…" The move, which appears like a sharp U-turn by the government, was well received by those who thought of it as a plan to limit nightclubs' operations. Mr. Javid, while giving his firm decision, said, "We've looked at it properly and, whilst we should keep it in a reverse as a potential option, I’m pleased to say that we will not be going ahead with plans for vaccine passports…” Vaccine Minister Nadhim Zahawi, also said on the same TV program last week that the end of September was the right time to introduce a vaccine passport scheme for sites with large crowds. This is because it was estimated all over-18s would have taken the two jabs by then and it was the best move to keep the night industry open. When asked if Labor would cheer on the government if they stop the vaccine passport scheme, Shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth said, “If the government is not going to bring the vaccine passports to Parliament, that is the end of it…” Similar Plans in Other Countries While the vaccine passport plans have faced harsh critics in England, other countries like Scotland are taking a different direction. For instance, Scotland is planning to introduce a vaccine passport for over-18s for entry to nightclubs and crowded events from October. Wales First Minister Mark Drakeford also said on Friday that ministers will decide next week whether vaccine passports should be used to gain entry to some crowded events. However, some states like Northern Ireland have no similar plans. (Written and edited by The Decision Maker team)
- How America Marks The 20th Anniversary Of 9/11 Attacks
Today, the 9th of September marks exactly 20 years since terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the Pennsylvania field. The attack took about 2, 977 lives, leaving almost 77 countries mourning the deaths of their citizens. For the past years following the attack, the world has seennumerous changes in the security sector. More technical measures have been tailored towards strengthening global borders, airports, and international office buildings. While there is a significant transformation experienced in New York City, the entire world has its story to tell when remembering this fateful day. The echoes of cries and sirens heard on this day 20 years ago can still be heard as the US president joins other government officials to remember what went down when the four passenger jets were hijacked and used as guided missiles. As such, like the rest of the most affected countries, America today held the remembrance ceremony at Ground Zero, and here are the main highlights. President Joe Biden’s Arrival at Ground Zero The US President Joe Biden arrived at Ground Zero at around 8.35 am. He joined other officials, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama, former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, and New York State General Letitia James were also among those attending the ceremony. No official was expected to speak at the ceremony. What could be heard was the rushing of water from the fountains, which marked the footprints of the Twin Towers. Six Moments of Silence Held When all the officials and victims' families were settled, there followed a moment of silence at around 8.46 am to commemorate the first attack when American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower. The victims' family and friends then began reading the names of nearly 2,977 people who died in the terror attacks and those who died in the 1993 complex bombing. Mike Low, whose daughter, Sara Low, died in the attack is heard saying that history will not be remembered as numbers and dates, but as people. Sara was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11. Other moments of silence held include; • 9.03 am to recall when the second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, hit the South Tower. • 9.37 am to recall when the American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon, destroying the military headquarters. • 9.59 am to mark when the South Tower of the World Trade Center fell. • 10.03 am to commemorate when the United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a Pennsylvania field, Shanksville. • 10.28 am to remember when the North Tower fell. Journey to Ground Zero Many people attended the 9/11 anniversary at Ground Zero to remember what happened during the attack. For example, Therese Rockwell, 69, came from Dallas and is heard saying, “Life goes on purposely. It gives you hope, you walk around and see how everything has been washed new and made bigger and better, but you still want to keep the memory alive of this hollow ground.” On the other hand, Mike Sweet, 56, who traveled from Maryland said, "I will never forget the look on everyone's faces." Mike worked for FEMA during the attacks and remembers these incidents standing on Church Street reflecting what he saw 20 years ago. Joe Biden Leaves Ground Zero Ceremony President Joe Biden, together with Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and First Ladies left the ceremony at Ground Zero at 9.44 am. Biden was scheduled to head to Shanksville, Pennsylvania to attend another ceremony held to remember those who died when the United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in the field. The plane which was heading to Washington crashed in a field near Shanksville when the passenger tried to fight the hijackers and regain it. President Bush’s Address In his speech at around 10.45 am, former President George W. Bush took his time to remember the 40 people who died when Flight 93 crashed in the field in Pennsylvania. He also hailed the crew who brought down the plane, not forgetting the challenges he faced as he led the country during the attack. In his address, he said, “Twenty years ago, we all found- in different ways, in different places, but all at the same moment- that our lives would be changed forever. The world was loud with carnage and sirens, and then quiet with missing voices that would never be heard again…” Vice President Kamala Harris’s Speech Vice President Kamala Harris also gave her remarks at the Shanksville ceremony at around 11.05 am. While remembering those who died on Flight 93, Harris praised the courage of passengers and the crew, while urging Americans to emulate the moments after the attack when the country was rebuilding. In her speech, the Vice President said, “On the days that followed September 11th, 2001, we were all reminded that unity is possible in America. We were reminded, too, that unity is imperative in America. It is essential to our shared prosperity, our national security, and to our standing in the world…” The Ending of Ceremony at Ground Zero The commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero ended with the reading of nearly 3,000 names of people who died during the attacks. Buglers also played Taps to signify the closing of the ceremony. Some of the notable remarks include those of Vaugh Coleman, whose father, Keith Coleman, worked at the Cantor Fitzgerald in Tower One of the World Trade Center. In his closing remarks, Coleman said, “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my father and the horrible way he was taken from me. I can’t change that but I know that he’s here in spirit…” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also reflected on the ceremony saying it was incredibly moving. In an interview after the ceremony, Bill de Blasio said, “Every year we still feel it, but this year, on top of Covid, it’s taken on an added meaning, and what I am feeling is just the strength and perseverance of New Yorkers…”
- El Salvador’s Bitcoin Debut Crash Over Tech Issues
Just a few hours after the launching of Bitcoin as a legal tender in El Salvador, digital currency adoption has faced crashes over tech problems. This is after the government had to temporarily take the storage app offline and slumping of global prices. As reported by President Nayib Bukele on his Twitter, the digital wallet app called Chivo, which is Salvadoran slang for cool, would crash when the server capacity was increased. However, Chivo, which offers its users an initial $30 of free bitcoin, went back online a few hours later and was supervised by Bukele himself via Twitter. It was available on Huawei and Apple phones by midday, while the government wants it to be also available via Google. Along with the system crash, the global price of Bitcoin also went down by almost 17% to $43, 119 before recovering to trade at 10% lower. The US crypto exchange, Coinbase, also experienced similar technical issues that delayed or cancelled some transactions. This crash comes a day after El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender after buying 400 bitcoins. On Tuesday, Bukele said the government had bought additional 150 bitcoins, totalling 550. The Country’s Bitcoin Adoption El Salvador, the small Central American nation, became the first country to adopt the use of Bitcoin as legal tender in its transactions. The plan was discussed in congress in hours and implemented just in 90 days. However, the majority of Salvadorans, economists, and the international financial community, including the IMF, were against the move. For instance, Moody's, rating agency, criticized the country’s debt rating in part because of the law, while IMF warned the country that the plan could further destabilize the $25 billion economy. Hundreds of Salvadorans matched on the streets of San Salvador on Tuesday carrying placards against bitcoin and a recent reform that requires all judges over 60 years to resign. According to a video posted on Twitter, a group of young protesters is seen outside one of the Chivo cash machines chanting against the bitcoin move. Several opposition lawmakers also turned up to the legislature wearing black anti-bitcoin T-shirts. In his defence, Bukele said accepting the move will help to improve investment and financial services access in the country. He also said on Tuesday morning that his team was working on increasing server capacity to scan images. While asking the public to be a little bit patient, he said on Twitter that the problem is relatively simple but cannot be fixed with the system connected. The Experts’ Advice According to Luis Membreno, an economic consultant who advises local and international companies in El Salvador, the problem with the Chivo was foreseeable. In his statement to Financial Times, he said that the current and future problems with the app could generate massive losses to people if they fail to convert bitcoins to dollars. This will result in a loss of confidence in the system. The government has, however, backed up the plan with $150 million, though many economists still believe this will not be enough to deal with risks by allowing tax payments in bitcoin while liabilities remain in dollars.

- Will London Stand As The Leading Financial Center?
London has been the top European financial center for many years since Brexit. However, TheCityUK chief executive, Miles Celic, suggests that the government has a lot to do to remain at the top of other competitors. According to TheCityUK, one of the UK’s leading lobby groups, London's position as the top global financial centre is threatened by a lack of tax reforms and labour rules. Insufficient policies to strengthen international trade links and open new markets are also among the factors that may contribute to the fall of London's financial leadership. On Tuesday 6th, TheCityUK reported that the UK capital had declined over the decade due to the growing competition from New York and Hong Kong. This stiff competition is experienced in key areas like global market shares such as cross-border bank lending, insurance premium-writing, pension, and hedge fund assets. As stated by Miles Celic, Europe is filled with big cities that were once the leading international financial centres. However, though the industry has shown an improvement in the last decade, the competitors have also grown at the same rate. This poses a threat to London's position as it fears the rapidly growing cities like New York will soon surpass it. What Needs to Be Done? For the UK capital to retain its leadership, it must look beyond its borders and strategize its operations. Of course, the UK government has focused on adapting the EU’s vast financial services rule books for the city. It is also planning to make some changes on stock, bond, and commodity trading, insurance, and bank capital requirements. It also amended some standards over the summer to attract more blank-cheque companies to float on the London Stock Exchange. Ministers are, however, tasked to ensure these proposed changes are implemented. This includes allowing dual ownership share structures to draw more international initial public offerings and changing listing rules to encourage more alternative assets in UK markets. Besides, TheCityUK emphasized enacting changes on rules with a critical role in senior executive's decision-making. Such changes include reducing the high costs of sponsoring skilled worker visas and shortening processing times. As many city executives remain concerned about the lack of equivalent financial services deal with the EU, labour movement issues, and recognition of professional qualifications, TheCityUK wants all new trade agreements to cover financial and professional services to improve market access. The group also wants flexibility on work systems so that international staff can freely transfer for up to six months to their employer's home country without a visa. More Concerns In its statement, TheCityUK highlighted that the UK financial sector was taxed considerably more than its competitors in other centres like New York, Hong Kong, and Frankfurt. It also described the government's review of the bank surcharge as an encouragement. However, ministers still need to extend the VAT treatment on the management of offshore funds to the comparable UK vehicles management. The group also urged the government to partner with the financial sector and other countries to open new global markets in areas with future high demands. These include investment in the environment, social, and governance areas, and creating global ESG disclosure standards. Based on the concerns over the National Security and Investment Act, which is set to be effective from next year in giving the government powers to block deals, TheCityUK has called for clarity on its scope. This is after it pointed out that a vast number of transactions risk being submitted for review, which may add significant costs to investors and deter future investment. The government has, however, defended itself saying it had set a comprehensive plan for an open, greener, and technologically advanced financial services sector to ensure London remains as the top global financial centre.

- Wise Valued At Almost £9 Billion In London Direct Listing
For the past few months, many British companies have been seen listing on London Stock Exchange. One of them is Wise, which went public through a direct listing in London on the 7th of July. The company was valued at nearly £9 billion, marking another record deal as the UK market competes with Wall Street to attract the ever-growing wave of high-tech companies. Unlike the traditional Initial Public Offering (IPO), Wise decided to go for a direct listing on which its share began trading without raising any coin. The company is listed with a dual-class structure which had previously raised concerns to many UK investors. However, the listing went on smoothly with its shares beginning to trade at 800p under the advisory of Morgan Stanley, Goldman, Barclays, and Citigroup. About 12 months ago, the company secured a secondary share sale with a valuation of more than double the £3.6 billion ($5 billion). By the close of trading, its share value had increased to 10 percent, raising its valuation to nearly £8.8 billion. The Company History Wise, formerly known as TransferWise, was founded in 2011 by Kristo Kaarmann and Taavet Hinrikus. The two Estonians were frustrated by the high costs of frequent money transfers and founded Wise to reduce transfer fees for those who need to send money internationally. The company also started with the idea of using a real exchange rate to send money globally, instead of applying a premium at a bank. Although Wise still charges a premium to transfer money, it claims to be 8 times cheaper than most banks and 3 times cheaper than PayPal. It has also partnered with several banks and payment services like Monzo and Google Pay to use the platform in their international transfers. As such, the company has drastically expanded since 2011 with over 2,400 employees, 10 million customers, $7 billion sent every month, and 14 offices globally. It has also recorded its third year of profit in 2021 with over £24.1 million, an increase of 14%, from the £16.6 million of 2020. What the Listing Means for Wise and UK Market The Wise valuation at around £9 billion means the UK government is ready to welcome more tech groups to London. Remember, these ambitions were once shuttered earlier this year when the IPO of food delivery app, Deliveroo, was poorly received by investors. Deliveroo is now valued at £5.5 billion. During the celebratory ceremony held at the group’s Estonian office, Kristo Kaarmann told his staff that, although the listing is amazing, it is crucial to remember that the journey has just started. The listing has also turned the founders into the Baltic country’s wealthiest men, according to local business newspaper Aripaev. For instance, Kaarmann became a paper billionaire with his 19% stake in the company now valued at nearly £1.7 billion. The Financial Conduct Authority also outlined a series of proposals to help London compete with rival financial centers such as New York and Hong Kong. These proposals include lowering the minimum free float percentage for new companies from 25% to 10%. According to experts, this move would make direct listings a feasible option for more companies.

- Residential and Commercial Properties May Face $40 Billion Losses from Hurricane Ida
Data provided by CoreLogic, the leading global property information, analytics, and data-enabled solutions provider, shows that the residential and commercial property damages caused by wind, storm surge, and inland flooding in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are estimated to hit $40 billion. The Key Takeaways The insured residential and commercial properties face an estimated loss of between $6 and $9 billion from inland flooding and storm surge. Uninsured flood losses in the same area (Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama) are estimated to be between $8 and $12 billion. Additional losses from insured wind damages are estimated to be between $8 and $12 billion. More than 90% of the losses are recorded in Louisiana, primarily in the nine parishes in the New Orleans-Metairie-Hammond metropolitan area. The losses further extend to the west in the Ascension, Lafourche, Livingston, and Terrebonne parishes. About Hurricane Ida Hurricane Ida is the fourth and major hurricane of 2021. It rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane before making its landfall in Port Fourchon on Sunday, 29th August. It happens that this day was the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The initial landfall did not affect much of Louisiana’s real estate stock since Port Fourchon is a remote area that is about 15 miles southeast of Grand Isle. The area is also known as a major conveyor of petroleum. However, the areas near Hurricane Ida’s landfall experienced destructive winds of over 145mph. Also, more property damages were caused by wind and flooding in the immediate days after the storm. Differences Between Hurricane Ida And Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Ida occurred less than 40 miles from where Hurricane Katrina made its landfall. However, the two landfalls had significant differences. For example, according to Tom Larsen, the insurance solutions principle at CoreLogic, Hurricane Ida had a higher wind-speed Category storm at landfall than Hurricane Katrina. Contrary, Hurricane Katrina had a larger wind field than Hurricane Ida, and spent more hours as a Category 5 storm but weakened when it approached landfall. Hurricane Katrina also brought a higher storm surge than Hurricane Ida and flooded almost 80% of New Orleans. More devastations were also faced on the Mississippi coast. And as more climate changes continue to affect the ocean temperatures, residents should expect more frequent and destructive tropical cyclone activities. As such, homeowners and regional public agency leaders are advised to stay awake for more city infrastructure and financial protection from the upheaval. The Analysis According to Larsen, only 40 to 50% of losses from Hurricane Ida are insured. This could be a great improvement considering there were more uninsured losses seen from Hurricane Harvey and Katrina. However, these estimates were only from the residential homes and commercial properties, including contents and business interruptions. They did not include broader economic losses caused by the storm. The inland flood analysis is also based on the rainfall that occurred 48 hours during the storm and ended at 6 am CDT on 31st August 2021. The survivors of Hurricane Ida sought refuge in the Tennessee Valley, although the area is still recovering from an unexpected flash flood that swept through Waverly on 21st August. The Tennessee Valley is also expecting more floods in the coming days. As such, residents in saturated grounds should be cautious as rains continue through the week due to possibilities of ground erosion like the highway collapse in Lucedale, Mississippi.

- Kabul awaits new government amid economic crisis
Kabul residents said on Thursday (September 2) they were waiting for the new government to be formed after the Taliban took over and U.S. troops left earlier in the week, leaving much of the country in chaos. Afghanistan's Taliban rulers were preparing on Thursday to unveil their new government as the economy teetered on the edge of collapse more than two weeks after the Islamist militia captured Kabul. Residents in a Kabul market said they were happy because thefts and extortion had come to an almost total standstill out of fear of the Islamic Emirate, as the Taliban call themselves. But others said their jobs and businesses had suffered a great deal in the past two weeks, since the takeover, as many people have fled the country and economic activities, especially banking and public services have been thrown into chaos. The legitimacy of the new government in the eyes of international donors and investors will be crucial for the economy as the country battles drought and the ravages of a conflict that took the lives of an estimated 240,000 Afghans. The Taliban have tried to present a more moderate face to the world since they swept aside the U.S.-backed government and returned to power last month, promising to protect human rights and refrain from reprisals against old enemies. But the United States, the European Union and others have cast doubt on such assurances, saying formal recognition of the new government - and the economic aid that would flow from that - is contingent on action.

- Greece completes wall on border with Turkey as Afghan migrant fears grow
Greece said on Friday (August 20) it had completed a 40-kilometre fence on its natural border with Turkey, and a new surveillance system was in place, amid concerns that the Taliban's take-over of Afghanistan could lead to increased migration flows to Europe. The conflict in Afghanistan has fuelled fears in Europe of a repeat of the 2015 refugee crisis, when nearly a million people fleeing conflicts in the Middle East and beyond crossed to Greece from Turkey before continuing to other EU states. Greece, on the front line of that crisis, has said its border forces are on alert to make sure it does not become Europe's gateway again. "We examined ways to enhance surveillance and protection systems," said Defence Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos during a tour of the border with Greece's citizens protection minister and military officials, adding, "This plan is being implemented and being carried out at a fast and intensified pace in view of the developments outside the borders of the country." The two ministers inspected the completion of an extension of the existing fence along the river border with Turkey, which began last year, and the implementation of a hi-tech, automated electronic monitoring system. EU border agency Frontex is assisting Greece along its land and sea borders, currently testing an aerostat surveillance aircraft balloon in Evros along with other new technology to detect migrants. "The Afghan crisis is creating possibilities for migrant flows. We cannot wait, passively, for the possible impact," Citizens' Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis said. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was expected to discuss the situation in Afghanistan with Turkey's president, Tayyip Erdogan, on Friday. Erdogan said on Thursday Turkey had also taken measures along its border with Iran and his country would not become "Europe's migrant storage unit". Greece, where some 60,000 migrants remain since 2015, has hardened its migration policy in recent months by fencing off its migrant camps and intensifying border patrols by land and sea. Migrant arrivals to Greece have overall slowed to a trickle since 2016, when the EU agreed a deal with Turkey to stem the flows in exchange for financial support.
