Kosovo in political stalemate as parliament fails to elect speaker

Kosovo's parliament failed to elect a new speaker for the fourth time on Friday, prolonging a legislative crisis that has prevented efforts to form a new government more than two months after an inconclusive election. Under Kosovo's constitution, a parliamentary speaker must be voted in before the election winner can form a government, but without cross-party support that is proving difficult, and the stalemate has exposed deep divisions in Europe's newest state. In the February 9 parliamentary election, following an acrimonious campaign in which outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti called the opposition "animals" and "thieves", his Vetevendosje party came first but did not secure an outright majority.

Will the fight between President Trump and the Fed chair blow over? Or are we going to see it recur, shaking markets each time? Fareed talks about this and more with The Economist's editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes and hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio.

Powell emphasized the importance of maintaining the Fed's independence from political influence, expressing concerns about Trump's past criticisms of the central bank and his suggestions for manipulating interest rates for political gain. The Fed Chair highlighted the risks of such actions, including increased inflation and economic instability, and stressed the need for a stable and predictable monetary policy to foster long-term economic growth. Powell's comments come at a time when the Fed is navigating complex economic challenges, including managing inflation and interest rates amidst global uncertainties.
