The board of the Islamic Development Bank Group has approved investments worth $2.4 billion across projects in six countries, including Bahrain and Jordan.

The Jeddah-based IDB will invest $330 million to expand Bahrain’s industrial capacity. This will include the development of reclaimed land and the upgrading of utilities and connectivity, which will encourage the setting up of more advanced manufacturing and export-orientated industries, boost private investment and stimulate job creation, it said in a statement.

It also approved $160 million to promote the utilities, water and urban development sectors in Jordan. This is intended to secure the future supply of drinking water for Aqaba, Amman and the northern regions of the country, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change, drive economic growth and promote private-sector involvement in the water sector.

IDB approved $135 million for the upgrading of the Dakar Expressway project in Senegal, $40 million for the Central Asia South Asia electricity transmission and trade project in Tajikistan, $1.3 billion for the development of economic and industrial zones in Kazakhstan and $437 million to improve agricultural productivity in Azerbaijan.

In December 2024 the Arab Coordination Group, an alliance of 10 development funds, agreed to provide $10 billion by 2030 to combat land degradation, desertification and drought. 

IDB is a multilateral development finance institution headquartered in Jeddah. Set up by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in 1973, it has since grown to include 57 member states, with Saudi Arabia as its largest shareholder.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
