World Business Report

Available for over a year

Brazil's far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, has finally broken his silence after a defeat at the polls on Sunday. But he did not contest the result either, as some had feared he would. Chinese stocks listed in the US surged on Tuesday, fuelled by speculation that Beijing is preparing to phase out ‘Zero-Covid’ policy. But is it really likely? Also, we look at the impact on US workers as a new salary transparency law takes effect in New York; and the boss of a recycling firm casts doubt on some new figures published by Greenpeace.(Picture: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro gestures before the start of the television debate at the Globo TV studio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on October 28, 2022.
