In this episode, TytanInc discusses the following topics:

Global Market Update:

North America

Trump suspends all immigration to the US over COVID-19. The president has followed through on previous claims that he would shut down the nation to immigrants, although now it is limited to those seeking green cards. It does not, however, apply to doctors or nurses who would be helping the relief efforts, or the spouses of US citizens and prospective adoptees. The ban is being made in order to “ensure that unemployed Americans of all backgrounds will be first in line for jobs as our economy reopens.”

South America

Countries like Venezuela, which are in a constant state of economic uncertainty, are faring worse during this crisis. A nation with one of the largest oil supplies in the world has been subject to numerous trade embargoes and sanctions levied by both the US and other nations. For the nations still trading with Venezuela, the recent drop in oil prices has severely limited its purchasing power. Limited access to healthcare, food supplies, and stable currency have all impacted the country and its surrounding neighbors.

European Union

The EU continues to grapple with its economic issues. Spain has several aggressive initiatives to help fix their problems. The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, is proposing that long-term bonds be used to raise $1.5 trillion to alleviate the impact from COVID-19, which would be spread out in the beginning of 2021 to the most affected sectors. This would amount to one-tenth of the total GDP for the EU.

Africa

In the United States stores selling alcohol and tobacco have been declared essential businesses and allowed to stay open. South Africa has taken the opposite approach and banned the sale of both alcohol and tobacco. Only three other countries have taken this action, including Thailand, Greenland, and certain regions of Mexico. A report in 2018 concluded that the alcohol industry of South Africa accounted for more than $583 million. For alcoholics, quitting “cold turkey” can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms including death.

Episode review:

In this episode, TytanInc discusses the following topics:

Global Market Update:

North America

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has begun to forgive large amounts of foreign debt. 25 of the poorest countries in the world are seeing their debt forgiven by their lenders. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated. "This provides grants to our poorest and most vulnerable members to cover their IMF debt obligations for an initial phase over the next six months and will help them channel more of their scarce financial resources towards vital emergency medical and other relief efforts.” Similarly, the World Bank is distributing $160 billion to 76 countries to help combat the effects of the coronavirus.

South America

Ecuador’s issuer default credit rating has been downgraded to a “C.” The Fitch ratings company made the decision as Ecuador is exploring options to defer payments on billions of dollars in bonds that will mature this year. The low credit rating signifies a higher risk of default as the country struggles with the COVID-19 pandemic.

European Union

Vehicle sales have plummeted over 50% in the EU over the last month. Sales of cars and trucks hit record lows with Fiat Chrysler being hit particularly hard with a drop of 76.6% in gross sales. Financial forecasters are hoping for a “V” shaped recovery in the coming months, though a resurgence or second wave of coronavirus cases could delay that recovery by up to a year.

Africa

South African Airways has made the decision to fire all 4,700 of its employees. The 86-year old travel provider appears to be shutting down due to the lack of travelers. As a state-owned company South African Airways has been struggling over the past decade, hiring 9 CEO’s over the past 10 years in its attempts to restructure and retain profitability. It has not released financial statements over the last 2 years, likely due to fears of liquidation and an inability to pay back loans.

Asia

The World Bank projects a slump in growth in South Asia. A combination of a drop in tourism, supply chain disruption, and a drop in demand for textiles are most likely the blame for the drop in revenue across several nations. The Maldives is expected to be hit especially hard, with an estimated drop in GDP of up to 13%.
