OPINION

Region must not abandon Myanmar

News, Sally Tyler, Published on 16/02/2026

» A particular confluence of events pertaining to Myanmar -- the fifth anniversary of its latest junta, elections early this month widely seen as illegitimate, and the beginning of a case on charges of genocide brought by Gambia at the International Court of Justice -- should have brought increased international scrutiny to the beleaguered nation.

Corruption keeps getting worse

Editorial, Published on 15/02/2026

» Everyone knows corruption in Thailand is bad, but few realise how bad. By global standards, Thailand is slipping into the bottom tier.

How world's super-rich are rewriting the rules

Oped, Joseph E Stiglitz & Jayati Ghosh, Published on 13/02/2026

» Ongoing efforts to derail multilateral tax cooperation lie at the heart of a global programme to replace democratic governance with coercive rule by the extremely wealthy -- or what we call 21st-century Caesarism.

Emerging markets stand strong

Oped, Kristalina Georgieva and Mohammed Al-Jadaan, Published on 12/02/2026

» It used to be that when advanced economies sneezed, emerging markets caught a cold. That is no longer true.

There has been no sign of the kind of financial turbulence that came with past economic shocks.

Rethinking global health finance

Oped, Walter O Ochieng & Tom Achoki, Published on 06/02/2026

» For the past half-century, the economics of global health were straightforward. Under the so-called "grant-based" approach, rich countries donate to poor countries, which use the funds to meet their populations' health needs. Success was measured by services provided or lives saved, rather than by balance sheets. While this model was far from perfect, the latest approach replacing it -- focused on using tools like guarantees and blended finance to crowd in private capital -- threatens to produce even worse outcomes.

OPINION

Parties silent on temple corruption

Editorial, Published on 18/01/2026

» The monk scandals that shocked Thailand in 2025 are not the result of moral lapses among clerics. They are the outcome of decades of governance failure. Addressing them requires political solutions. As the country prepares to form a new government in the coming months, there is hope for policy, not religious excuses.
