China's export-dependent provinces scramble for shelter from US trade storm
BEIJING — China's export-dependent cities and provinces are scrambling to provide relief to exporters, stabilize employment and avert the possibility of social unrest as an intensifying trade dispute with the United States threatens to further erode business. Guangdong, China's biggest province by gross domestic product, this week offered to cut corporate taxes, slash electricity prices and reduce transport and land costs as additional US tariffs since July exposed Chinese manufacturers to the prospect of empty order books. The tariffs have come at a particularly bad time for the southern province, which is in the midst of an economic restructuring as it tries to move away from low-end, labor-intensive manufacturing. The shift has already led to job losses. Fujian, another...

Volkswagen to end iconic 'Beetle' cars in 2019
NEW YORK — Volkswagen announced Thursday it would end production of its iconic "Beetle" cars in 2019 after adding a pair of final editions of the bug-shaped vehicles. The curvy-topped sedans, which shook off Nazi origins to become a global auto phenomenon, are being sidelined as Volkswagen emphasizes electric cars and larger family-oriented vehicles. But company officials, still trying to completely turn the page after 2015's costly "dieselgate" scandal, opened the door to reviving the model at some point, alluding to the company's 2017 decision to unveil a revamped Volkswagen Bus as a possible template. "As we move to being a full-line, family-focused automaker in the US and ramp up our electrification strategy...there are no immediate plans to...

Ukraine in talks with IMF on new standby deal: President's ally
KIEV — Ukraine has begun talks with the International Monetary Fund on a new standby deal that would replace the current $17.5 billion assistance program, the president's parliamentary representative said on Friday. A fresh standby agreement could give Ukraine breathing space as it has struggled to fulfill some of the conditions of its existing deal and needs to service rising debt payments. The IMF and Western allies have pumped billions of dollars into the country since the 2014 Maidan uprising and the annexation of Crimea by Russia that pitched Ukraine into crisis. But the $17.5 billion package has been effectively frozen since April 2017 amid a slowdown in required economic reforms and efforts to tackle entrenched corruption. Kiev has banked only $8.7 billion originally made...

IMF says Kenya's external position is strong as standby deal expires
NAIROBI — The International Monetary Fund considers that Kenya's external position is strong, its representative in Nairobi said on Friday, adding that the Fund would continue to support its reform efforts even though a stand-by loan deal has expired. Kenya had secured a six-month extension in March of the $989.8 million arrangement. However, the IMF set conditions for a further extension, including the repeal of a cap on commercial lending interest rates which was imposed in 2016, a move that parliament rejected in a finance bill last month. President Uhuru Kenyatta sent the bill back to parliament on Thursday night, but what happens next regarding the rate cap is not yet clear. IMF representative Jan Mikkelsen confirmed what the government said on Thursday: that the deal was...
