Portugal Tops The Economist’s 2025 Economy Ranking as France Lands 11th — and Why “Progress” Looks Different From Syria to Argentina

December 26, 2025 — In a year when inflation cooled across much of the world and central banks delivered their biggest easing push in more than a decade, economic “winners” depended on what, exactly, you measured: growth, price stability, jobs, market confidence—or societal change. Reuters That tension is at the heart of two closely watched year-end scorecards circulating across European and global media.

Coinbase stock: Argentina peso-to-USDC halt sets up Monday test for COIN

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 11:00 ET — Market closed Coinbase Global (COIN.O) will stop allowing customers in Argentina to buy or sell USD Coin (USDC) using pesos from Jan. 31, the company told users, scaling back local-currency services less than a year after it entered the market.
