The majority of Hong Kong's restrictions on bars and restaurants are going to be lifted as part of the COVID curb withdrawal.

Hong Kong is going to do rid of some of the remaining remnants of its Covid-19 regulations, which have been responsible for destroying the city's economy and bringing its reputation as a financial hub into disrepute.

As of tomorrow, incoming travelers will no longer be prohibited from visiting restaurants and bars within the first three days of arrival, and residents will no longer be required to scan a tracing app in order to enter eateries, pubs, and other venues. In addition, the ban on visiting restaurants and bars within the first three days of arrival will no longer apply to outgoing travelers.

John Lee, the chief executive of Hong Kong, stated that "we have evaluated the data and danger," and one of the considerations that was considered was that the risk brought in by imported cases is actually lower than the risk of infection in the community. "We have reviewed the data and risk,"

The changes follow Beijing's about-face on its zero-Covid policy earlier this month, with the country abandoning a swath of laws aimed at eliminating instances, which led to an increase in infections. The revisions come after Beijing's about-face on its zero-Covid policy.

Despite the fact that Hong Kong has never been subjected to the same level of restrictions as the rest of China, the territory has maintained its own elimination policy in addition to week-long government quarantines up until the beginning of this year, when a devastating outbreak rendered the measures unnecessary.

The city has been gradually easing up on its restrictions, and in September, it did away with the mandatory passenger quarantine that was in place.

The pandemic laws in Hong Kong will continue to be stricter than those in many other major cities across the world. According to Lee, the "vaccine pass" system that the city uses, in which citizens are required to show their immunization status on a government app, would continue to be in effect.

Investors weigh the outlooks for rates and the economy as the dollar edges up.

The Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England will all be making significant policy decisions next week. Investors and traders want to know if inflation has peaked, which would give policymakers room to raise interest rates more gradually in the coming months. The Fed's policy meeting on December 14 is also important because it will come one day before the next monthly report on consumer inflation in the United States is due on December 15. "Until we have those central bank meetings and one significant monthly U.S. data release, not a great deal is occurring," RBC currency analyst Adam Cole said. "U.S. CPI is the one data release that seems to really matter for broader dollar movement at the moment." When compared to other major currencies, the dollar held constant. The last known value of the euro in US dollars was $1.0507, while the pound dropped 0.3% to $1.2171. The Japanese currency, which is quite sensitive to changes in the yield ...

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.

Last week, the ED allegedly c...
