World Business Report

Available for over a year

With the International Monetary Fund set to unveil its twice-yearly World Economic Outlook tomorrow, we're joined by former IMF Chief Economist Kenneth Rogoff to find out what we can expect to hear. Shares in US semiconductor firms fell on Monday after Joe Biden announced restrictions on exports of microchips and chip manufacturing equipment to China. Chris Miller, author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology, explains how we got to this point. With the US mid-term elections less than four weeks away, we begin a week-long look at what is often termed “dark money” in U.S. political campaigns. And the BBC's Formula 1 reporter Jennie Gow explains why Red Bull have been given a red flag by the sport's governing body over alleged excess spending. (Picture: Global stock markets.
