On September 19th, the German government announced on the 18th that it had reached an agreement with the federal states on a package of tax relief measures, including a new round of fuel tax cuts and a fuel price cap, to alleviate the pressure on residents and businesses caused by persistently high fuel prices. According to the plan, the German government will reduce the energy tax, resulting in an actual reduction of approximately 17 euro cents per liter for gasoline and diesel. The measures are scheduled to be implemented by October 1st and will continue until the end of this year, with a total tax reduction of approximately 2.5 billion euros. This fuel tax cut is similar to the temporary measures implemented in May and June this year, which were expected to reduce tax revenue by 1.6 billion euros this year.On September 19th, Li Xunlei, Chief Economist of Zhongtai International, stated at the Tsinghua PBC School of Finance Chief Economist Forum that global economic imbalances are difficult to avoid; imbalance is the norm, and balance is temporary. Over time, any system will inevitably lead to imbalances; no system is perfect, therefore continuous reform and adjustment are necessary. Currently, in my countrys dual circulation economic model, the international circulation is relatively smooth, but the domestic circulation is not, and the latter is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. Regarding smoothing the domestic circulation, Li Xunlei suggested promoting fiscal and tax reforms to increase the central governments financial resources. "Facts have shown that over the years, the efficiency of local government debt has been low. my countrys institutional advantages have not been well reflected in the fiscal and tax field. Promoting fiscal and tax reforms can greatly enhance fiscal support for investment and consumption," Li Xunlei said.Saudi Arabias Civil Defense Ministry announced that the alert for the Riyadh and Khairji areas has been lifted.Saudi Arabias civil defense has issued a warning of potential dangers in the Khairji region.Saudi Arabias civil defense has issued a warning about potential dangers in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

As Australian Retail Sales Continue To Underperform Expectations, AUD/JPY Corrects To Near 87.20

The AUD/JPY pair has declined to near 87.20 as a consequence of weaker Retail Sales data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The increase in economic data was 0.2%, which was less than the consensus estimate of 0.4% and the previous release of 1.9%. A weaker-than-anticipated retail demand suggests that households are unable to compensate for the impact of inflated products with their present purchasing power.

 

The headline may suggest weakening retail demand, but the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which is working to restrict elevated inflation, is ecstatic.

 

This week, the Australian Dollar is expected to remain in focus prior to the release of the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) (Feb) data on Wednesday. According to projections, the inflation rate will decline from 7.4% to 7.1%.

 

There is evidence that Australia's inflation rate has begun to decline, as stated by the RBA's policymakers. As the present monetary policy is already sufficiently restrictive to control persistent inflation, the RBA could conclude its policy-tightening process at the April monetary meeting.

 

In addition, the National Bureau of Statistics' (NBS) Manufacturing PMI for China will be the most influential factor for the Australian Dollar. China's economy is now focused on the road to economic recovery, following the elimination of pandemic controls. Consequently, a respectable performance is anticipated within the manufacturing industry. Australia is China's most important trading partner, and an increase in the Chinese PMI will also boost the Australian Dollar.

 

Haruhiko Kuroda, the former governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), will continue to be the center of attention in Tokyo. BoJ Kuroda may reaffirm the continuation of ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate earnings and the economy's overall demand.
