The Gold Vein Chinese Found in the Nicaragua Ortega and Murillo Handed Over

A report by Fundación del Río reveals that 15 Chinese companies control 8.5% of Nicaraguan territory through mining concessions granted by the Ortega-Murillo regime after modifying five laws to their benefit. Chinese interest extends beyond gold to strategic minerals like copper, cobalt, uranium, and tungsten. The companies operate without websites or clear financial records. International trade databases indicate an under-invoicing of $32.1 million in exports to China. At least 29 concessions are located on indigenous territories without prior consultation, and the expansion is already generating a binational conflict with Costa Rica.

This is equivalent to the entire gross domestic product of Chile, Portugal, or Denmark, a figure that frankly does not fit in the mind, nor in a calculator that we have at home, and less so, with the poor, very poor; better said, null management results of a government that is more concerned with fighting to stay in a political campaign from which they never stepped down, not even when they won a tremendously questioned election in which violations of limits and disturbing conversations of Gustavo Petro's own brother, with the so-called "pact of the picota," have already been proven.

India will import the largest amount of oil from Venezuela in almost six years, helping the world's third-largest crude buyer replace Middle East supplies affected by the war in Iran. By Bloomberg Over 12 million barrels are heading to India's west coast this month from the South American producer, the largest volume since February 2020, according to Kpler data.

Retail in Colombia Started 2026 with the Brakes On, Why Did Housing and Fuel Sales Fall?

The start of this 2026 has left a bittersweet taste in the country's cash registers. Although positive numbers are still being seen, the results of retail trade surprised analysts, who expected an expansion of 10.0%. Instead, a growth of 7.8% was reported, which represents the second lowest record in the last 12 months, based on data from Dane. This slowdown responds to an adjustment in family pockets, which have begun to correct their spending especially on products related to construction and fuels. This was revealed by the recent study by Economic Research and Market Analysis of Banco de Bogotá, led by its director, Camilo Pérez.
