Janet Yellen says the US economy is seeing 'a soft landing'

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The US Treasury Secretary says inflation is being tamed without significant damage to the labour market. We take a look at the figures. While officials see a positive economic outlook for the US economy, Americans aren't sharing that view on the so called 'Bidenomics'. Our correspondent in New York finds out why. And Guyana seems to have found a new partner to exploit its recent crude discoveries in the Essequibo region: India. We listen to the implications this might have on the dispute between this South American nation and Venezuela over the oil-rich territory. (Picture: US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
