Cheap ocean freight has expired...

Global logistics costs are surging as geopolitical conflicts and carbon taxes end the era of cheap ocean freight. Ships avoiding the Red Sea and Suez Canal reroute around Africa, adding 15–20 days and nearly $1 million in fuel costs per voyage. Suez traffic remains 70% below normal levels, while Asia-Europe freight rates rise up to 400% and Asia–U.S. West Coast rates jump over 140%. The EU’s maritime carbon tax now adds about $168 per container and increases freight costs by up to 12%. Global shipping emissions rise 14%, while higher transport costs fuel inflation and heavily impact smaller exporters worldwide.

Bolivia faces a severe economic crisis...

Rodrigo Paz announces a 50% salary cut for himself and cabinet ministers as Bolivia faces a severe economic crisis marked by collapsing reserves, soaring inflation, and mounting debt. The country’s economy is projected to contract by 3.3%, while inflation surges above 20%, triggering shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies. Bolivia’s foreign reserves fall dramatically from $15 billion in 2014 to just $50 million, severely limiting import capacity. Despite the symbolic austerity move, protesters continue demonstrations in La Paz, accusing the government of failing to address the deeper structural economic collapse.
