Brazil's government aims to raise $2 billion in financing with new Eco Invest auction

The government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expects to raise $2 billion in financing for sustainable projects through a new auction to be announced on Monday as part of the Eco Invest Brazil program, focusing on initiatives to recover degraded pastures. The new auction is part of the "blended finance" line of the Eco Invest program, which combines public and private capital to reduce financing costs and stimulate sustainable initiatives in the private sector, while also reducing the risk of exposure to exchange rates. Although the exact value cannot be disclosed in order not to hinder competition among financial institutions, the auction is expected to provide around $1 billion in catalytic capital from the Climate Fund, with a requirement for leverage of at least one and a half times, the secretary said.

January business 'the perfect advert' for Aston Villa

Aston Villa's second-half goals against Brighton all came from players who arrived at the club in January, the perfect advert for a fiercely ambitious manager in Emery and the progressive thinking of co-owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens. There was undoubtedly an element of gamble about Villa's work in January, but it is paying off as their season moves towards a potentially glorious conclusion fuelled by their work in this month. It is a strategy reflected in results, with Villa's latest win putting them just three points behind fourth-placed Manchester City in the table with eight games left.

Busy Baby founder turns to crowdfunding to pay China tariff and keep business afloat

Beth Benike, Minnesota's Small Business Person of the Year, is trying to crowdfund $229,000 to pay what she describes as the "ransom," or tariff on her products stranded in China.

Busy Baby, a company founded by Emily Wells that produces mats designed to keep babies occupied and safe, is facing financial difficulties due to a 25% tariff imposed on goods imported from China. To keep her business afloat, Wells has turned to crowdfunding, raising over $20,000 through a GoFundMe campaign. The tariff has significantly increased the cost of her products, which are manufactured in China due to the specialized nature of the mats. Despite the challenges, Wells remains committed to her business and is exploring options such as relocating production to the U.S. or Mexico, although these alternatives come with their own set of challenges and costs.
