Pakistan finance minister: conflict with India won't have large fiscal impact

KARACHI/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -The recent military escalation with arch-rival India won't have a large fiscal impact on Pakistan and can be managed within the current fiscal space, with no need for a new economic assessment, Pakistan's Finance Minister said in an interview with Reuters on Monday. Trade talks with the United States - which had played a key role mediating a ceasefire between the two countries - would likely have progress in "short order" and that Pakistan could import more high-quality cotton, more soy beans and was also exploring other asset classes, including hydrocarbons, Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said in the online interview. On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is ready to help India and Pakistan after a ceasefire agreement, claiming trade was a big reason they "stopped fighting".

Mazzoni Center settled litigation with New York firms over high-cost payroll financing last year

Terms of the settlements were not disclosed. Mazzoni owed about $1 million.
The Mazzoni Center, a Philadelphia-based health clinic focused on the LGBTQ community, has settled a lawsuit against LCF and Fundkite, two litigation funding companies, for $1.5 million. The settlement comes after the center accused the companies of predatory lending practices, charging high interest rates and fees on advances meant to help the center during financial difficulties. The lawsuit claimed that these practices led to a cycle of debt for the Mazzoni Center, which was already struggling due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The settlement will help the center stabilize its finances and continue providing essential health services to the community.
