Nepal produces less than 0.1% of the world’s carbon emissions.
But it’s paying the price for unchecked global pollution.

2025/26: Historic Low Only 29.4% capital utilisation — Rs 120B spent of Rs 407B budgeted. Mid-year slowdown due to political transition.
Each 1% drop in capital utilisation costs Nepal 0.05-0.07pp of GDP growth.29% utilisation cost ~2pp in 2025/26.

Nepal formally requests a three-year extension of its Least Developed Country (LDC) status, aiming to defer graduation from November 2026 to 2029.

Nepal will graduate from the least developed country status in 2026. While graduating, the post-graduation tariffs increase and could reduce Nepalese exports by 4%. -(ITO)

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihteshamali]

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer.

She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.

The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.

Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.

The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.

When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.

Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.

Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.

The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.

Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.

Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.

Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.

Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.

Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.

A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.

The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.

The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.

That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.

Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.

You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.

The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.

Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

U.S. data centres consumed 183 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2024, according to IEA estimates. That works out to more than 4% of the country’s total electricity consumption last year. In 2023, the country’s data centres directly consumed about 17 billion gallons of water

The economy doesn't operate in a vacuum Politics shape it.

The largest oil company in Brazil just did something nobody saw coming.

On April 30, Petrobras $PBR announced they pumped more oil in three months than in any quarter in company history.

3.23 million barrels per day. Up 16% from a year ago.

Five days ago, a brand new platform called P-79 came online three months earlier than planned.

The Búzios field in Brazil now produces 1.33 million barrels per day. That is more oil than the entire country of Argentina produces.

But here is what nobody on Wall Street is talking about.

It costs Petrobras only $6 to pump a barrel of oil.

They sell it for around $70.

Their long-term break-even price is just $25 per barrel.

For comparison...

The Dallas Fed survey from March says American oil companies need oil at $66 per barrel on average just to drill profitably.

Petrobras can stay profitable even if oil drops to $25 and stays there for years.

Two weeks ago, the company announced it will pay shareholders R$41.2 billion (about $8.2 billion) for last year alone.

So why is the stock cheap?

There is one big reason. And it is not what you think.

The President of Brazil controls Petrobras.

Elections are five months away.

To keep voters happy, Petrobras is selling diesel inside Brazil for R$2.52 per liter less than it would cost to import the same fuel from other countries.

The company even told the importers' association it will not import any diesel in May.

This is the same trap that broke Petrobras between 2011 and 2016. The company lost roughly $40 billion absorbing prices below cost.

The same trap caused a giant truck driver strike in 2018 that shut down the entire country for 11 days.

The CEO of Petrobras at the time lost his job.

The stock crashed 35% in a few weeks.

So here is the question every investor needs to answer before October.

Will the political pressure to keep diesel cheap destroy the dividend math?

Or is the political risk already priced in?

Right now Petrobras pays around 6.5% per year just in dividends.

The American and Australian oil giants pay less than half that.

The market is treating Petrobras like a politically broken company.

The numbers say it is the lowest-cost oil giant on the planet with the cleanest carbon footprint and the biggest dividend.

Both stories are partly true.

The earnings results come out May 11. The webcast is May 12. The election is October 4.

The next six months will tell us which story was right.

New ADB research shows that the conflict in the Middle East could reduce GDP in developing Asia and the Pacific by up to 1.3 percentage points over 2026–2027 and raise inflation by 3.2 percentage points if it extends beyond a year.

Our brief outlines three risk scenarios, with impacts depending largely on the length of the conflict.
