World Business Report

Available for over a year

As more countries are rocked by worsening debt and supply shocks, economists are increasingly concerned about the effects of war and the pandemic on global stability. To discuss the International Monetary Fund's latest forecast, we are joined by Liliana Rojas Suarez from the Centre for Global Development. It's been a big week for tech earnings, with some surprising results. Brian Dorst from New Jersey-based Themis Trading gives us the latest analysis. Russia has pledged to withdraw from the International Space Station. But do they mean it? Space commerce expert Keith Cowing has some reservations. Also on the programme, Ticketmaster has defended a new system which has seen some fans pay more than five thousand dollars for Bruce Springsteen tickets. Former Billboard editorial director Bill Werde explains why this could spell a bleak future for live music fans.
