Celebrating Spooky Season Around the World

The transition from fall to winter is a time filled with ghosts, ghouls and celebrations, when the gates to the underworld are thought to be open and spirits from the other side mingle with the mortals. While Americans are drinking pumpkin-spice lattes, trick-or-treating and carving jacko-lanterns this month, cultures across the world are gearing up for their own spooky-season traditions. From Hong Kong’s Hungry Ghost Festival to Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos to Haiti’s Fat Gede, here are the ways people welcome otherworldly spirits and souls. MEGHAN GUNN

Split DECISION?

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 55 YEARS, THIS ELECTION SEASON could end with Democrats and Republicans heading an equal number of state governments. Fueled by voter concerns over abortion access and a slate of far-right Republican nominees, the odds are increasing that Democrats can retain or flip enough of the 36 governorships up for grabs on November 8 to prompt a 25-to-25-state tie between the two parties, versus the current 28-22 GOP lead. That even split has only happened one other time since Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959-back in 1967, in the thick of another painfully divisive era in American politics.

Jerich International: A Holistic Approach To Logistics

International investors' appetite for Austrian assets strengthened considerably in 2021, with 133 inbound M&A deals, up nearly a third on 2020 and the highest level since 2015, according to global professional services company EY. Overall, deals with Austrian involvement - including all deals in Austria and those overseas by Austrian businesses - totalled 293, up 6.5% on 2020, generating total publicly-announced value of €9.1bn. Strategic investors dominate the Austrian market, EY reported, and sectors that attracted particularly high deal volume in 2021 included real estate, industry, and technology. The strong performance of inbound dealmaking in particular has underlined Austria's many competitive advantages as an investment destination, including its location at the heart of Europe, excellent infrastructure, and highly-skilled workforce.

Beacon Pharmaceuticals: Bringing life-saving medicines to the world

Bangladesh's economy is growing fast, with the country targeting an economic expansion of 7.5% for the 2022/23 fiscal year, to build on an average GDP growth rate of 6.6% over the last 13 years. In recent years Bangladesh's pharmaceutical industry has also risen in importance, part of a general trend of economic and social growth that has enabled the country to move from least developing country to developing country status.

MTH Group: Market value creation through sound investment

Driven by pent-up private consumption and a tight labour market, Austria's economic expansion is estimated to grow by 4.5% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The country benefits from a well-developed market economy, with its capital, Vienna, one of the wealthiest regions in Europe. Austria is also home to an impressive services sector, as well as a leader in retail and industrial business, with many of its companies at the forefront and in many cases global market leaders. Austria invests heavily in research and development, making it an attractive and dynamic market.

Austria: Above Expectations

With strong economic expansion, a falling fiscal deficit, an outlook of rapidly declining debt, and upcoming pro-green-growth tax reforms, Austria won the plaudits of the International Monetary Fund in a June 2022 staff visit. While the Alpine country was hit relatively hard by the covid-19 pandemic, due to its large tourism sector, the rebound has been remarkably robust, supported by active government policy that has cushioned the economy and particularly the less well-off, while promoting an accelerated energy transition. "We've come out of the pandemic stronger than we went into it," Chancellor Karl Nehammer said in September 2022.
