Συνάντηση του Πρωθυπουργού Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη με τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο Αμερικής κ. Ελπιδοφόρο

19 Ιουλίου 2023


Ο Πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης συναντήθηκε σήμερα με τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο Αμερικής κ. Ελπιδοφόρο στο Μέγαρο Μαξίμου.

Ο Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης επαναβεβαίωσε τη στήριξή του στο πνευματικό, κοινωνικό και εκπαιδευτικό έργο της Αρχιεπισκοπής και ευχαρίστησε τον κ. Ελπιδοφόρο για τις υπηρεσίες που παρέχει στην ομογένεια, ενώ συζητήθηκε επίσης το νομοσχέδιο για την άρση των περιορισμών όσον αφορά στη δυνατότητα των Ελλήνων του εξωτερικού να ψηφίζουν στον τόπο διαμονής τους.

Ο Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης εξέφρασε την αισιοδοξία του ότι θα είναι δυνατή η υπερψήφιση του νομοσχεδίου από περισσότερους από 200 βουλευτές, σημειώνοντας ότι η διευκόλυνση των ψηφοφόρων που είναι ήδη εγγεγραμμένοι στους εκλογικούς καταλόγους αλλά διαμένουν εκτός της ελληνικής επικράτειας θα αποτελούσε «μία επανάσταση για την πολιτική συμμετοχή των Ελλήνων του εξωτερικού στα κοινά της πατρίδας».

Ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Αμερικής συνεχάρη τον Πρωθυπουργό για την εκλογική του νίκη κι εξέφρασε την πλήρη υποστήριξή του στο νομοσχέδιο, προσθέτοντας ότι «είναι κάτι που περιμένουν όλοι οι Έλληνες του εξωτερικού», ώστε να αρθούν οι σημερινοί περιορισμοί και να μπορούν να ασκούν το εκλογικό τους δικαίωμα από τον τόπο κατοικίας τους, καθώς θέλουν να συμμετέχουν στα κοινά της Ελλάδας.

Dear MARIA, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below.  Emerging Market Economies Bear the Brunt of a Stronger Dollar (Credit: Dilok-Klaisataporn/iStock by Getty Images) By Rudolfs Bems and Racha Moussa The US dollar’s strengthening last year to a 20-year high had major implications for the global economy. We examine these spillovers from the currency’s appreciation in our latest External Sector Report. Building on recent research by Maurice Obstfeld and Haonan Zhou, we find that negative spillovers from US dollar appreciations fall disproportionately on emerging market economies when compared with smaller advanced economies. In emerging market economies, a 10 percent US dollar appreciation, linked to global financial market forces, decreases economic output by 1.9 percent after one year, and this drag lingers for two and a half years. In contrast, the negative effects in advanced economies are considerably smaller in size, peaking at 0.6 percent after one quarter and are largely gone in a year. In emerging market economies, the effects of the strong dollar spread via trade and financial channels. Their real trade volumes decline more sharply, with imports dropping twice as much as exports. Emerging market economies also tend to suffer disproportionately across other key metrics: worsening credit availability, diminished capital inflows, tighter monetary policy on impact, and bigger stock-market declines.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convenes the Incident Response Group to discuss the situation in British Columbia’s ports

July 19, 2023
Ottawa, Ontario

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened the Incident Response Group with ministers and senior officials to discuss the labour disruption in British Columbia’s ports.

The Group was briefed on the latest developments in the province, where union leadership has served notice that thousands of port workers will resume strike action on Saturday. This decision came after union leadership failed to give union members an opportunity to vote on the tentative settlement that was agreed to last week by both the union and the employer following weeks of federal mediation and negotiation.

The Group discussed the impact of the situation, which is creating severe disruptions to Canada’s largest export and import gateway to the world. Previous strike action earlier this month already froze billions of dollars’ worth of cargo from moving in and out of harbours, causing serious harm to our economy, Canada’s reputation as a trading partner, and Canadian jobs.

The Prime Minister stressed the critical importance of resuming operations in our ports as soon as possible. Workers and employers across Canada – and all Canadians – cannot face further disruption. He asked ministers and senior officials their advice toward achieving this goal and directed them to pursue all available options to ensure the stability of our supply chains and to protect Canadian jobs and our economy.
