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.

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.

Brazil's Federal Revenue Requires Citizens To Pay Taxes On Crypto Trades

The Federal Revenue of Brazil wants investors to pay taxes on cryptocurrency trading profits, even if there is no exchange for Brazil's national currency. Brazil's Federal Reserve (RFB) has declared that Brazilian investors in the crypto-asset market must pay income tax on transactions that involve the like-kind exchange of cryptocurrencies; for example, Bitcoin (BTC) for Ethereum (ETH). The RFB's declaration was published in the Diário Oficial da União and was the result of a consultation made by a citizen of the country with the regulator. At the end of last year, the group issued an opinion in which it claimed that trading between cryptocurrency pairs is taxable even if there is no conversion to the real (Brazil's national currency). Although it does not specify what can be understood as "profit," since in the exchange of one crypto asset for another there is no capital gain in fiat currency, it points out that there is, even so, the obligation to pay t...

The Neilston Gas Station Offering Locals Low

John Robb of John Robb & Son in Neilston, East Renfrewshire, is offering unleaded gasoline for 168.9 pence per liter and diesel for 183.9 pence per liter, which are among the lowest prices in the region. He claims that his company is doing so to alleviate locals' concerns about poverty. Major retailers have been criticized for failing to pass on a decrease in wholesale prices to consumers. According to the RAC, average gasoline pump prices decreased by nearly 9p in July to 182.69p per litre, while diesel prices decreased by nearly 7p to 192.38p per litre. However, the motoring lobby contends that motorists continue to spend too much at the pump in comparison to wholesale costs, which have decreased by 20p over the past eight weeks. It is stated that the price of gasoline should be approximately 167 pence per liter. Mr. Robb quickly lowered his gasoline and diesel pricing to reflect the most recent weekly wholesale cost. When asked why he did not delay price cuts like other larg...
