The 'free of charge' by Conte repeated 31 times that cost us over five billion in scams
Giuseppe Conte's superbonus, which promised to renovate Italian homes at no cost, has been criticized by figures like Mario Draghi and Daniele Franco for tripling costs and being one of the largest scams in the Republic. The Court of Auditors and the International Monetary Fund also opposed it for being distortive and risky. The Revenue Agency reported over five billion euros in fraud, with the Guardia di Finanza intercepting conversations highlighting the state's vulnerability to scams. Similarly, the citizen's income measure, another symbol of the Five Star Movement, has seen 288 million euros in frauds uncovered by the Guardia di Finanza and INPS from January 2021 to May 2022.

Interest Cap Poses Body Blow for Cambodian Microfinance
The Cambodian government has mandated a cap on interest rates for microfinance loans at 18 percent annually, starting April 1, ahead of local elections. This decision has surprised the microfinance industry, which may struggle to offer small loans due to the cap, potentially leading to a downturn in rural communities. The Cambodia Microfinance Association is considering cost-cutting measures and efficiency improvements, while the central bank may reduce fees for MFIs. The cap aims to prevent rural smallholders from incurring high-interest debt, with the long-term goal of financial system sustainability. The impact on the microfinance industry and rural borrowers' access to credit remains uncertain.

The detentions were made to prevent interference with the ongoing investigation, and it is uncertain whether they will be presented to the Criminal Instruction Judge on Friday, although it would be correct to do so to comply with the pre-trial detention period.

Digital Lending Shakes Up Cambodia’s Over-indebted Banking Sector
Cambodia's banking sector, already heavily indebted, faces further challenges with the rise of digital lending platforms. These fintech services, such as Boost Capital and Spean Luy, offer quick, low-collateral loans, often through smartphones, which proponents argue can provide cheaper and more inclusive financial solutions. However, debt experts and nonprofits like Licadho warn that these platforms may exacerbate the country's debt crisis, particularly among the rural and urban poor. Established banks like ACLEDA are also expanding into digital lending to compete. The National Bank of Cambodia and other regulatory bodies have yet to comment on the oversight of these new digital lenders. The article highlights both the potential benefits and risks of digital lending in Cambodia, emphasizing the need for careful regulation and financial education.

The Missing Social Dialogue of Kurti with the Unionists
The article discusses the lack of social dialogue between Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the unions, particularly in the context of the BSPK's demand for a temporary €100 increase in wages to cope with inflation. The government's response, including dismissive remarks by Education Minister Arbërie Nagavci and threats to withhold pay for striking workers, is criticized as unhelpful and indicative of a lack of solidarity. The World Bank's report of a 19.2% inflation rate in June highlights the economic pressures faced by low-wage workers. The article argues that the government should separate the issues of education quality and wage increases, and that the current crisis is eroding the middle class and increasing poverty. It concludes that the government's hermetic closure to social dialogue is not in line with the proclaimed social-democratic policies of the ruling Vetëvendosje party.

Worker's rights
The article discusses the aftermath of the Rana Plaza garment factory collapse in Bangladesh, which led to the creation of a French law on duty of care. This law holds French companies accountable for human rights and environmental violations in their supply chains. Despite opposition, the law was passed in February 2017 and requires companies to produce vigilance plans and allows employees to claim compensation. Fifteen lawsuits have been filed against French companies under this law, with varying degrees of success. The article also mentions the European Commission's draft directive on duty of vigilance, which is inspired by the French law and aims to regulate 10,000 companies to prevent supply chain violations. Nayla Ajaltouni, coordinator of the NGO Ethique sur l'Etiquette, emphasizes the importance of the French law as a step towards European legislation and the challenges faced in enforcing it, including the influence of economic lobbies.

Rebuilding Cambodia’s Gambling Mecca
Chinese investors transformed Sihanoukville into a gambling hub, but the ban on online gambling and the COVID-19 pandemic halted progress, leading to abandoned projects and a significant drop in housing prices. Cambodia is now planning to clean up incomplete buildings and attract foreign investment with visa-friendly regimes and tax breaks. A Chinese-funded upgrade of the Ream Naval base has raised concerns in the U.S. about China's military presence, though both Beijing and Phnom Penh deny these claims. Major development projects, including the Bay of Lights and infrastructure improvements, are underway, aiming to boost economic growth and tourism to pre-pandemic levels. The Cambodian government has prioritized $30 billion in infrastructure projects to be completed by 2030, despite the country's relatively low GDP.

The Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) clarified in Circular No. 33/2021 that businesses can cumulate aid provided by the European Union under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), as long as it does not cover the total cost of the investment. The circular distinguishes between the concepts of aid accumulation and double financing, the latter being prohibited by EU regulations. The MEF also provided practical examples and referenced EU regulations that allow for the synergy of different public support forms to cover various parts of an investment, ensuring that the total cost does not exceed 100% of the related cost.
