A 10-day ceasefire that took effect at midnight between Thursday and Friday, alongside U.S. President Donald Trump’s stated intention to host Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House, does not amount to peace. It is also too early to present it as the certain beginning of a historic process.Still, for Lebanon, the mere reemergence of a diplomatic horizon — even if limited and fragile — already represents a significant economic development. A country that has been mired in a deep crisis for years and, since early March 2026, has again been engulfed in active…

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has built quite a reputation as an investor. He once focused primarily on activist short-selling, a period during which he waged an epic battle with another investing titan, Carl Icahn, over the company Herbalife.

Ackman and his team will occasionally engage with management teams, but in the form of “long-term constructive engagement.” The fund has performed well, with a 10-year return of 380% net of fees as of March 31. Now, Ackman is…

A core premise of residence and citizenship programs is to enhance a country’s economy in exchange for domicile or naturalization rights for qualifying individuals. This is a good description of a classic ‘win–win’ formula. However, the benefits of such programs for host nations go far beyond extra funding for the national treasury or increased foreign direct investment. One of the sector’s unique and most positive attributes is its ability to endow nations with a source of considerable sustainable revenue without them having to increase debt and thereby burden future generations. This ability to expand a state’s ‘sovereign equity’ by increasing…
