Since returning to the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump has set a course to cut foreign aid. His administration eliminated the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), reducing the number of programs from more than 6,000 to fewer than 900. In late August, Trump renewed his assault on foreign aid, announcing the cancellation of $4.9 billion in congressionally approved aid through a rarely used mechanism that the Government Accountability Office ruled illegal in 2018.

The minimum consumer basket (MCB) is not just a set of products and services. It is an economic “mirror” that should reflect the real standard of living and the minimum human needs for survival.

However, its composition, methodology of calculation and, as a consequence, its final value raise more and more questions. Is the MPC in Moldova an adequate reflection of reality or is it an outdated anachronism that prevents adequate assessment of poverty and well-being?
Nearly six months after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imposition of ultra-high “reciprocal” tariffs – a blatant violation of WTO rules – the global trading system is holding up well.
