Argentina's world cup coincides once more with a period of severe inflation.

As the Argentina team prepares for Sunday's World Cup final, Bloomberg reported that the country's annual inflation rate is expected to exceed 99.9% this month, and economists anticipate it will shortly surpass 100.

Argentina's world cup coincides once more with a period of severe inflation.

Inflation averaged 116% in 1986, the year Diego Maradona led the Albiceleste to victory. According to central bank figures and surveys, the inflation rate in 1978, when Argentina won the tournament it hosted, was 176%.

Lionel Messi, who was born a year after the 1986 triumph and is regarded by fans as the heir to Diego Maradona's legendary status, will make his final World Cup appearance against France on Sunday. Invigorated by their talisman, the team's run to the last match — from averting early elimination to racking up five consecutive victories — has thrilled a nation once again experiencing difficult economic times.

However, this continuous economic characteristic of the country is not indicative of the country's World Cup performance. In 1990, hyperinflation was over 2,000%, and the team lost the championship match. When the team lost the 2014 championship, the official loss rate was only 22%, but there was suspicion that the government had altered the numbers.

The economy of Malaysia is expected to slow down in 2023.

According to statements made by analysts on Thursday, the economy of Malaysia will slow down in 2023 as a result of adverse external conditions and a slowdown in internal demand. According to Xinhua news agency, the Maybank Investment Bank Research said in a research that it anticipates Malaysia's full-year growth to drop to 4 percent in 2023 from the growth prediction of 8 percent in 2022. This is mostly reflective of a moderation in domestic demand. As pent-up spending from the complete economic re-opening evaporates next year, the research house anticipates slower growth in private consumption. This will be compounded by the effects of high inflation and high interest rates on the cost of living and real disposable income. It also forecasts a slowdown in the expansion of private consumption, which is expected to be in line with the reduced allocation for government operating expenses in Budget 2023. In addition, it was said that the forecast for slower global economic developmen

WazirX Exchange is accused by Indian law enforcement of helping to launder $130 million.

The department in charge of combating financial crimes in India, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), is investigating cryptocurrency exchanges that may have handled transfers from companies under investigation to foreign wallets totaling more than 10 billion rupees, or roughly $130 million. According to a representative who talked with The Economic Times, at least ten cryptocurrency exchanges are allegedly implicated, and WazirX's bank accounts have been seized. Companies under investigation in a case involving rapid loans allegedly executed transactions totaling up to 1 billion rupees ($1.3 million) in the names of individuals with no relation to the money. These businesses frequently had ties to China. The transactions were revealed to be suspicious by Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering (KYC/AML) processes, but no increased due diligence was carried out and no suspicious transaction notifications were submitted to the ED, according to the agency. Last week, the ED allegedly c
