Before getting too excited, a quick dive past the headlines into the agency’s data in real (inflation-adjusted) terms tells a very different story. The vast majority of investment growth is being consumed by inflation. Since rates hit a record low in 2020, over 70% of investment in building construction growth was non-productive. Bluntly put, the stimulus is making each dollar less effective at actually producing anything. https://betterdwelling.com/canadas-non-productive-building-boom-inflation-killed-70-of-growth/

Russia might agree to pay for Ukraine's rebuild if the EU just stays out. Trump To 'Force' Zelensky To Agree On Ceasefire By Easter According To Alleged Leaked Peace Plan ​The Trump administration is seeking to end the war within 100 days. ​"The unconfirmed plans, reported by Ukrainian outlet Strana, have been doing the rounds in 'political and diplomatic circles' in Ukraine, and will include a ceasefire by April 20 that would freeze Russia's steady advance, a ban on Ukraine from joining NATO, and a demand for Kyiv to accept Russian sovereignty on annexed land."...​ ..On top of these alleged key aspects​.. a ban on NATO admission, freezing the front lines, and agreeing to Russian sovereignty over the four annexed territories in the east... Ukrainian troops will be made to leave Russia's Kursk region, where it launched a counteroffensive in August, while a contingent of European soldiers, which could include British troops, would be asked to police a demilitarised zone. American troops will not be involved in this contingent. ​The EU will reportedly be asked to assist Ukraine in its reconstruction efforts, which may cost as much as $486billion (£392billion) over the next decade according to the German Marshall Fund thinktank. The plans will reportedly begin with a phone call between Zelensky and Vladimir Putin in early February, a meeting between the two warring leaders in late February to early March and an official ceasefire declaration of a ceasefire by April 20. ​ A declaration on the agreed parameters for ending the war would then be released by May 9, after which Kyiv would be asked not to extend martial law or mobilize troops.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-force-zelensky-agree-ceasefire-easter-according-alleged-leaked-peace-plan

A $1-billion lithium-ion battery cell production plant that was planned for Maple Ridge, B.C., has been shelved. The parent company, Taiwan Cement Corp., announced construction of the Canadian plant with much fanfare last year, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier David Eby attending and promising a combined $284.5 million in government funding. Taiwan Cement Corp. company chairman Nelson Chang is quoted in a release saying construction has stopped in order to focus on Taiwanese production, in step with other battery makers suspending similar projects across North America. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/company-news/2024/12/05/taiwan-firm-halts-plan-for-1b-battery-plant-in-bc-that-had-federal-support/

JP Morgan and BlackRock, along with consultancy McKinsey & Company, are collaborating with the Ukrainian government to establish a reconstruction fund. The objective of this fund is to attract significant investments for the country’s reconstruction, which could cost between $400 billion and $1 trillion, depending on estimates. This fund, known as the Fund for the Development of Ukraine, will use a “blended finance” approach to mobilize both public and private capital, targeting priority sectors such as infrastructure, climate and agriculture. https://activistpost.com/2024/11/who-really-profits-from-the-ukraine-war.html

The divisive ruler of the Kingdom, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been at the forefront of trying to develop the oil state into a global tourism hub. He has splashed trillions to create his Saudi Vision 2030 project which features complexes sch as the flagship NEOM which includes fantasy ideas such as The Line. Despite the luxury plans for the ambitious builds human rights groups have expressed many concerns over the massive construction plans. Emerging reports allege that as many as 100,000 migrant workers have gone missing during the construction of NEOM. https://www.technocracy.news/neom-is-worlds-biggest-smart-city-worth-100000-livesso-far/
