Cash incentive eased on high-value remittance | The Business Standard 13 May 2020 A Bangladesh Bank circular says beneficiaries of inward remittance up to $5,000 or Tk5 lakh would be entitled to avail the cash incentive without showing any documents of wage earners The central bank on Tuesday enhanced the paper-free incentive receivable limit against inward remittance in the wake of a sharp fall in remittance earnings in April amid the coronavirus pandemic.

This is a message for every ITF seafarers affiliate and every one of their members – the seafarers who have professionally and diligently fulfilled their jobs during this unprecedented and uncertain time. Thank you for continuing to transport vital goods and keeping global trade moving during the Covid-19 pandemic.

On March 12, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic. In response, countries started closing their borders and imposing social distancing and restrictions on movement to try and contain the spread of the virus. Despite these restrictions and the threat of exposure to the virus, our unions and...

COVID-19 And its Impact on International Trade by Dr. Santhosh Mathew – 7 May, 2020 “The unavoidable declines in trade and output will have painful consequences for households and business, on top of the sufferings caused by the disease itself.” — Roberto Azevedo, Director-General, WTO Introduction The world is going through a tough time – socially, politically and economically. The covid-19 pandemic has taken away nearly two lakhs and fifty thousand lives across the globe and more than thirty lakhs of people are affected by the virus. Apart from this great loss in terms of human lives, the world is also facing a severe economic slowdown right now. The pandemic has brought unexpected challenges to the global economy and international trade has been hit hard.

Floating Tanker Flotilla to Remain in Play as Conditions Favor More Crude Storage in Hellenic Shipping News 11/05/2020 About 70 laden VLCCs remain stationary for at least 4 weeks, prove that the contango “play” in the crude tanker market is very much at play. In its latest weekly report, shipbroker Gibson said that “in recent weeks reports about floating storage have featured in the international press. In the 2nd half of April Reuters reported that oil held in tanker floating storage reached at least 160 million barrels, including 60 VLCCs, up massively from levels witnessed just a couple of months ago. There is nothing new about floating storage, which we classify as vessels laden and stationary for at least a four week period. Back in 2015/16 up to 50 VLCCs were involved in crude floating storage, in part due to a contango play and partly due to Iranian sanctions....
