World Business Report

Available for over a year

Peru has sworn in its female leader after Pedro Castillo's dramatic impeachment. This comes just after the Central bank raised its key rate to a 21-year high of 7.5 percent. We discuss the future of the economy amid the political turmoil. The final 747 aircraft has been rolled out of Boeing's factory in the U.S. Does this signal a possible dissapearance of the Jumbo Jet from the skies? And Western officials are in talks with Turkish counterparts to resolve oil tanker queues off Turkey. (Picture: Peru's former president, Pedro Castillo. Credit; Getty Images.)
