  • Abu Dhabi’s IHC in deal with DFC
  • US government’s investment arm
  • ‘Crucial step’ for Trump’s goals

Abu Dhabi conglomerate International Holding Company reached a deal with the US government’s international investment arm to jointly target sectors and markets of “mutual strategic interest”.

Critical minerals, energy, logistics, healthcare, technology and agriculture are among the sectors IHC identified in a press release yesterday as priority areas for co-investing with the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC).

IHC said the effort will focus on “high growth” emerging and frontier markets, especially those that anchor “global trade and connectivity corridors”. 

Success will be measured in the effective economic benefits accruing to the two partners, such as enhanced domestic employment opportunities and more innovation, according to the press release. 

“This strategic framework with DFC represents a powerful alignment of capital, capability and conviction,” said IHC CEO Syed Basar Shueb in a statement.

Ben Black, chief executive of the seven-year-old DFC, called the collaboration a “crucial step” in advancing the Trump administration’s strategic goals. 

“Both nations will be positioned to deliver high‑return projects and promote world‑class investment standards,” he said.

A senior-level joint committee will identify opportunities and push for rapid execution of transactions that deploy capital “at scale,” according to the release.

Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s national security adviser who chairs IHC, among other roles, posted on X about his meeting with Black upon the signing of the agreement.

“We exchanged views on opportunities for cooperation across vital sectors, highlighting the strength of economic ties between the United Arab Emirates and the United States, and exploring pathways that support sustainable growth, resilient supply chains and greater global connectivity,” he wrote.

The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn.

Economic policies are chasing investors away from US – Mercer

Economic policies are chasing investors away from US – Mercer

The post Economic policies are chasing investors away from US – Mercer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A wave of clients are shifting away from U.S. assets as investors react to President Donald Trump’s trade and interest-rate agenda, according to Mercer LLC. The consulting firm says concern over tariffs, pressure on the Federal Reserve, a swelling budget deficit and the risk of a softer dollar are pushing money to Europe, Japan and other markets. Hooman Kaveh, Mercer’s global chief investment officer, said a rising share of the firm’s 3,900 clients, together overseeing about $17 trillion, are reducing U.S. exposure. The opening weeks in the early phase of Trump’s second term “has been a trigger for genuine diversification,” he noted in an interview this week. “We’re certainly seeing that in client portfolios where flows are toward diversifying markets, geographies, asset classes, currencies.” Market nerves were evident in early April after Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement, when both U.S. stocks and Treasuries fell before rebounding. Even so, U.S. shares have trailed many overseas benchmarks in 2025 for dollar-based investors. Kaveh said investors are struggling to price the tariff path because the effects can cut two ways: either squeeze company margins or get passed through to consumers and lift inflation. “If you have a situation where tariffs are going to push prices up, and the weaker dollar potentially can increase inflation, that would cause the Fed much more of a challenge to cut rates,” he added. As mentione in a Bloomberg report, he called the White House’s preference for a weaker dollar “the Achilles heel to the current approach” since it can magnify the inflation impulse from tariffs. Where the money is going Trump’s repeated criticism of Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has been slow to lower borrowing costs, along with the president’s move to fire Governor Lisa Cook, is further encouraging clients to step back from the U.S., according to…
