Australias export earnings in the resources and energy sector are anticipated to decline over the next two years due to reduced global demand, primarily from China, its major trading partner.

Danish brewery giant Carlsberg has terminated licensing deals with its Russian subsidiary, which Russian authorities seized in July due to plans to sell the company following Moscows invasion of Ukraine. Many Western companies have ceased operations in Russia due to the conflict, resulting in significant sanctions against Moscow by the U.S. and Europe. Carlsberg had previously announced a buyer for Baltika, its subsidiary since 2000, and its 8,400 employees in June. However, a subsequent decree signed by President Vladimir Putin in July placed the business under state control. Baltika will still be permitted to sell its existing inventory until April 2024. Exiting the Russian market, which accounted for 9% of Carlsbergs profits in 2021, led to the company posting a net loss for 2022. Read More..
