markets BlackRock wellness Trade RAI country reports How a 96-year-old billionaire from Hong Kong escaped Trump’s glare with $19 billion port deal

Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing may have just pulled off one of his boldest transactions yet. Under pressure from the Trump administration over two ports at the Panama canal controlled by CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd., Li’s company announced a plan to sell off the bulk of its global ports business to a consortium led by BlackRock Inc. In return, the Hong Kong firm will receive cash proceeds of more than $19 billion.

markets Provident Man Action Justice Courts Investigations Homebuyers taken to ransom: SC wants probe into builder-bank mess

Supreme Court has called for an investigation into the alleged nexus between real estate developers and banks, which it said had left poor homebuyers in the National Capital Region (NCR) “at ransom.” The court has sought a response from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding the possibility of conducting the probe. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh raised concerns over builders, banks, and interim resolution professionals failing to provide details about delayed housing projects and their construction progress. The court said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) must be formed to examine the issue, stating, “People invested their hard-earned money, but poor homebuyers have been taken to ransom.” The case involves thousands of homebuyers who purchased flats under subvention schemes, where banks directly disburse loans to builders, who are then responsible for paying the EMIs until the homes are handed over. However, several builders defaulted on payments, leading banks to demand EMIs from buyers, despite the delayed possession of their flats.
