Tai-Ex opening   
 


發佈於 2022-04-28 10:20:13

The Tai-Ex opened up 47-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,351, on turnover of $4.8-billion N-T.

The market fell by more than 2-per cent to drop to below the 16,500 point mark on Wednesday following steep (急劇的) losses on Wall Street overnight amid concerns that higher interest rates and surging inflation could hurt the global economy.

Early selling pushed down electronics heavyweights, especially in the semiconductor sector, amid fears foreign institutional investors will continue selling-off liquid tech stocks, while the downward momentum also spread to the old economy and financial sectors.

 Canada Census Provides Insight on Transgender Population   
 


發佈於 2022-04-28 10:20:14

Changing a question on last year's census has resulted in a snapshot (簡單印象) of Canada's transgender population.

Statistics Canada released data Wednesday showing 0.33 per cent of the country's 38.3 million people identify as a gender that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.

For the first time, Statistics Canada differentiated (分別) between ``sex at birth" and ``gender" in the census.

While the agency and advocates agree the new numbers likely underestimate the true size of the population, they say the data will offer crucial (至關重要的) insight into a marginalized community.

The data collected during last year's national household survey shows about 100-thousand-815 people are transgender or non-binary.


 CAR Allows Use of Cryptocurrency   
 


發佈於 2022-04-28 10:20:14

Central African Republic has legally recognized the use of cryptocurrency.

This comes after the president approved a law last week that has also made bitcoin an official currency alongside the West African CFA franc.

President Faustin Archange Touadera validated the law Wednesday, saying that the exchange rate between cryptocurrencies and the FCFA is freely determined by the market.

Tax contributions can also be paid in cryptocurrencies through platforms (平台) recognized by the government.

The government says Central African Republic is now the first country in Africa to adopt bitcoin as a reference currency.

Many officials and civil society groups have protested this law, saying it risks national sovereignty.
