Economic Reforms

Zhu Rongji, former Premier of China and architect of the bold economic reforms that propelled the country to global power status, passed away on Wednesday in Beijing at the age of 97. His death marks the end of an era of economic optimism for many in China who witnessed the nation's revolutionary transformation.

Argentine President Javier Milei has launched a major institutional reform package to eliminate economic populism. The centerpiece is a "fiscal shackles" mechanism that freezes government spending and politicians' salaries if budget deficits persist.
