Press Room Team — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:30:23 +0000

On its Florida 2030 Blueprint Path to becoming the Top 10 economy in the world, Florida Jumps from16th to 15th, Surpassing Spain and Closing in on Australia

The Florida Chamber Foundation today announced that Florida, if it were a nation, would now rank as the 15th largest economy in the world, with a gross domestic product exceeding $1.7 trillion. The Florida Chamber Foundation has set a long-term goal of making Florida a top 10 global economy by 2030. Florida has surpassed Spain and stands just $25.5 billion behind Australia.

This achievement marks an important milestone in Florida’s long-term effort to become one of the most competitive economies in the world. It comes as the Florida Chamber Foundation unveiled a first glance at the soon-to-be-released Florida 2030 Blueprint Halftime Report at this week’s Future of Florida Forum (F3) & Florida Chamber Annual Meeting in Orlando. Clearly, the policies of Florida’s leaders, including Governor DeSantis, together with the innovation of Florida’s job creators, are working.

“When we launched the Florida 2030 Blueprint, Florida ranked 18th in the world,” said Mark Wilson, President & CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce and Foundation. “Today, we are 15th and gaining ground on Australia. This is the direct result of years of laser focus on free enterprise, principled leadership, smart policy decisions, and business and community leaders working together to secure Florida’s future. Florida’s rise is not just a state story. It is a global story.”

The Florida Chamber Foundation’s Florida 2030 Blueprint Halftime Report Overview (a glimpse into the Halftime Report findings) shows strong progress in key areas driving Florida’s economy forward. Since the launch of the Florida 2030 Blueprint, Florida has added more high-wage jobs, expanded its workforce (currently over 10 million workers, more than the population of 40 U.S. states), and measurably reduced childhood poverty through the Florida Prosperity Initiative.

Florida Leads the Nation in Key Economic Categories

No. 1 for New Business Start-Ups
Top 3 State for Business
No. 1 Economy in the Country
No. 1 Higher Education System
No. 1 State for Manufacturing Job Growth
No. 1 State for Net Income Migration
No. 1 State for New Business Migrations
No. 1 State for Black-owned businesses
No. 2 State for Hispanic- and women-owned businesses
155,742 Fewer Children Living in Poverty since the launch of the Florida 2030 Blueprint
Lowest State Debt Per Capita
Among the top states for infrastructure investment and talent growth

“Florida’s economic success is no accident,” said Sheridan Morby, Senior Research Economist at the Florida Chamber Foundation. “It is the result of businesses, government, and communities working toward a shared vision. The data show clear progress toward making Florida a top 10 global economy by 2030.”

Gross Domestic Product by State and Personal Income by State, 2nd Quarter 2025 and Personal Consumption Expenditures by State, 2024

Press Room Team — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 23:44:35 +0000

Today, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released new quarterly statistics on gross domestic product and personal income for all 50 states and the District of Columbia for the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June), along with new annual statistics on state personal consumption expenditures for 2024.

Gross domestic product (GDP) highlights

Real GDP increased in 48 states in the second quarter of 2025. The percent change at an annual rate in real GDP was 3.8 percent nationally, with state-level changes ranging from a 7.3 percent increase in North Dakota to a 1.1 percent decline in Arkansas. In the District of Columbia, real GDP growth was unchanged.

In the second quarter of 2025, real GDP increased in 15 of the 23 industry groups for which BEA prepares quarterly state estimates. Finance and insurance, information, and nondurable-goods manufacturing were the leading contributors to growth in real GDP nationally. These industries were also the leading contributors to real GDP growth in half the states. Two other industries that impacted real GDP growth in several states were agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting and mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction.

Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction increased in 45 states and was the leading contributor to growth in eight states including North Dakota, Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming, the states with the first-, second-, fourth-, and fifth-largest increases in real GDP, respectively.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting increased in 27 states and was the leading contributor to growth in six states including Kansas, the state with the third-largest increase in real GDP. In contrast, this industry was the leading offset to growth in six states including Arkansas and Mississippi, the two states where real GDP declined.

Personal income highlights

Personal income increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the second quarter of 2025. The percent change at an annual rate in current-dollar personal income was 5.5 percent nationally, with state-level changes ranging from a 10.4 percent increase in Kansas to a 0.9 percent increase in Arkansas. In the District of Columbia, personal income increased by 4.9 percent.

In the second quarter of 2025, all components of personal income—earnings, transfer receipts, and property income (dividends, interest, and rent)—contributed to the increase in personal income nationally. Each component increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia except for earnings, which declined in Arkansas and Mississippi.

Earnings increased 4.4 percent nationally, with state-level changes in earnings ranging from a 12.2 percent increase in Kansas to a 3.3 percent decrease in Arkansas. Earnings was the largest contributor to growth in personal income in 21 states and the District of Columbia.
Transfer receipts increased 14.4 percent nationally, with state-level changes in transfer receipts ranging from a 23.8 percent increase in Massachusetts to a 5.5 percent increase in Tennessee. Transfer receipts was the largest contributor to growth in personal income in 29 states. The increase in transfer receipts was due in part to retroactive payments to Social Security beneficiaries under the Social Security Fairness Act of 2024.
Property income increased 1.0 percent nationally, with state-level changes in property income ranging from a 1.4 percent increase in Wyoming to a 0.8 percent increase in Kansas, Illinois, Alaska, Iowa, and Louisiana.

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) highlights

PCE increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2024. Current-dollar PCE increased 5.6 percent nationally, with state-level changes in PCE ranging from a 7.0 percent increase in Florida to a 4.3 percent increase in Mississippi. In the District of Columbia, PCE increased 6.6 percent.

In 2024, PCE increased in 14 of the 16 major categories for which BEA prepares estimates. Health care and housing and utilities were the largest contributors to the increase in PCE nationally. They were also the leading contributors to PCE growth in 49 states. PCE decreased in two categories, gasoline and other energy goods and motor vehicles and parts. These two categories were the largest subtractions to growth in 49 states and the District of Columbia.

Health care increased 8.3 percent nationally and was the largest contributor to state PCE growth in 34 states.
Housing and utilities increased 6.8 percent nationally and was the largest contributor to growth in 15 states including Florida, the state with the largest increase in PCE, and the District of Columbia.
Gasoline and other energy goods decreased 5.2 percent nationally and was the largest subtraction to growth in 37 states including Mississippi, the state with the smallest increase in PCE.

Update of state statistics

The estimates for the second quarter of 2025 incorporate the results of BEA’s annual updates of GDP and personal income by state that are also being released today. The annual estimates of GDP and personal income by state from 2020 to 2024, PCE by state from 2020 to 2023, and quarterly estimates of GDP and personal income by state from the first quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2025 were revised. This update incorporates new and revised source data that are more complete and more detailed than previously available and updates to seasonal factors and aligns the states with the annual update of the National Income and Product Accounts and the GDP by industry statistics released on September 25, 2025. An upcoming article in the Survey of Current Business will describe the results.

New combined state news release

BEA published quarterly GDP and personal income by state along with annual PCE by state in a single news release today for the first time. This combined release provides a fuller picture of the economies of all states and the District of Columbia and replaces the publication of two separate releases issued on different days.

Changes in the presentation of tables

BEA’s ongoing modernization and streamlining of news release packages includes changes in the presentation of tables starting with today’s release of GDP, personal income, and PCE by state.

Data previously published as tables within the quarterly and annual news releases of GDP, personal income, and PCE by state are updated and available simultaneously with today’s release in BEA’s online Interactive Data Application. However, tables are no longer included with the body of the news release. This reduces duplication, increases efficiency, and points data users directly to BEA’s most complete and flexible data tables, via links in the release. These customizable tables include full time series and can be downloaded as PDFs, in Excel, or in CSV format.

IMF Reaches Staff-Level Agreement with Honduras on the Fourth Review of the Extended Credit Facility and Extended Fund Facility

Press Room Team — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 23:41:37 +0000

End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion and decision.

IMF staff and the Honduran authorities have reached staff-level agreement on policies and reforms to complete the fourth reviews of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangements. IMF Board approval of the review, expected for later this year, would result in a disbursement of about US$120 million.
The Honduran economy remains resilient, and the authorities continue to make solid progress implementing their economic program, with a healthy accumulation of international reserves. Solid economic growth, anchored inflation, and an improved external position reflect prudent fiscal management and decisive monetary and exchange rate policies which have allowed the economy to continue to rebalance.
Maintaining prudent and consistent macroeconomic policies amid elevated uncertainty is essential to safeguarding stability. Resolute and sustained efforts to implement key structural reforms remain critical to medium-term prospects for inclusive and equitable development. Continued progress to strengthen transparency and governance ahead of the 2026 Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluation is paramount.

Tegucigalpa, Honduras: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team led by Emilio Fernandez Corugedo visited Tegucigalpa from September 16 to 26, 2025, to discuss recent economic developments and policy implementation. At the conclusion of the visit, Mr. Fernandez Corugedo issued the following statement:

“The Honduran authorities and the IMF team have reached staff-level agreement to complete the fourth reviews of the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangements. The IMF’s Executive Board is expected to consider the case later this year.

“The team and the authorities agreed that strong economic policies, a surge in remittances, and favorable export prices have allowed Honduras to continue to navigate successfully this period of exceptional global uncertainty and in the context of an election year. Macroeconomic policy performance has remained strong and supportive of program objectives. Economic activity indicators point to robust growth of 3.9 percent in the first half of 2025. Headline inflation, at 4.2 percent in August, has remained within the tolerance range of the Central Bank of Honduras’ (BCH’s) inflation objective, while core and services inflation remain modestly higher. International reserves have increased to US$9.7 billion, appropriately strengthening Honduras’ external buffers amid a challenging global environment.

“The authorities have redoubled efforts in the implementation of their structural agenda, achieving important milestones and regaining traction in key areas. Notably, advances have been made in support of structural fiscal reforms, including measures to strengthen transparency and governance to support preparations for the 2026 Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluation. Likewise, the authorities, with the National Electric Power Company (ENEE), continue to lay the ground for the critical long-term international energy tender planned for early 2026.

“The authorities reiterated their strong commitment to a prudent macroeconomic policy mix. They remain vigilant and ready to act in the current uncertain global environment to ensure success of their economic program supported by the IMF. Discussions focused on policies to preserve macroeconomic stability, strengthen resilience, and bolster inclusive growth:

“First, continued fiscal prudence remains essential to safeguard macroeconomic stability, including during the election year. The 2025 deficit target of 1.5 percent of GDP remains appropriate and continues to allow additional space for productive and social investment. Consistent with program objectives, the draft 2026 budget submitted to Congress targets a 1 percent of GDP fiscal deficit, with capital expenditures above and priority social spending similar to the 2025 budget. The authorities reiterated their commitment to their structural fiscal reform agenda, including reductions in tax exemptions and strengthening public procurement, while recognizing that reprogramming some milestones may be required.

“Second, sustained efforts remain important to underpin social spending. Achievement of the June priority social spending target and completion of the urban census of poor households are welcome, with the latter allowing expansion of social support to more vulnerable families. Social spending targets for the remainder of the year are on track, and the authorities are advancing complementary interventions and digitalization initiatives. Continued efforts are needed on the Single Social Sector Information System (SUISS), whose completion has faced interoperability challenges. The production of a manual to guide temporary social assistance in emergencies, to help more effectively cushion families affected by weather-related shocks, is on track for the end of the year.

“Third, the BCH will continue its vigilant data-driven approach to maintain inflation within its tolerance range and build further buffers. Adjustments to monetary and exchange rate policies have yielded strong results and helped achieve balance between supply and demand in the FX auction. Supported by these policies, which have restored a positive differential with international interest rates, the real effective exchange rate has continued to adjust under the crawling band regime, underpinning external stability. The BCH is simplifying documentation and monitoring requirements for the FX auction, which should pragmatically improve the efficiency of the current system of FX allocation. The authorities agreed on the importance of taking further advantage of the unprecedented surge in remittances and favorable terms of trade to continue to accumulate reserves and further strengthen the external position amid an uncertain external environment.

“Fourth, redoubling efforts to maintain reform momentum in the energy sector is critical. The authorities are deploying measures to enhance loss reduction and ensure that a downward trend remains firmly established. Reducing payment arrears to energy generators and securing loans to refinance costly credit lines are key to continue strengthening ENEE’s financial position. These measures would contribute to the success of the 1,500 MW generation tender planned for early 2026, already supported by a credit line of US$ 300 million approved by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). Steadfast implementation of reforms to strengthen ENEE’s efficiency is essential, including aligning its accounting practices with international standards and consolidating distribution entities. Moreover, enhanced transparency through the planned publication of the 2021-23 financial audits, alongside that of a high-level online dashboard of key energy sector performance indicators, could further bolster investor confidence.

“Fifth, the authorities should continue reforms to combat corruption, improve the business environment, and strengthen governance. Ahead of the 2026 evaluation by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), it is critical that the authorities prioritize, advance, and implement legislation addressing beneficial ownership and introducing legal amendments to further improve the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework. Efforts are also taking shape to modernize further the tax administration through projects on electronic billing and timely refunds and to strengthen public investment management with support from development partners. The authorities are developing a new whistleblower law and related reporting mechanisms and are committed to approving the Honduran National Transparency and Anti-Corruption Strategy (ENTAH).

“The IMF team would like to thank the authorities, the private sector, and other counterparts for their kind hospitality and candid discussions.”

EU appeals dispute panel report regarding duties on imports of biodiesel from Indonesia

Press Room Team — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 23:25:37 +0000

The European Union notified its decision to appeal the panel report in the case brought by Indonesia in “European Union — Countervailing Duties on Imports of Biodiesel from Indonesia” (DS618). WTO members were informed of the appeal at the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) meeting on 26 September. The panel report was circulated to WTO members on 22 August 2025.

European Union — Countervailing Duties on Imports of Biodiesel from Indonesia

Indonesia expressed regret that the EU decided to appeal the panel’s findings before a non-functioning Appellate Body. The EU recalled that it had invited Indonesia to join the multi-party interim appeal arrangement (MPIA) so that both parties can preserve their rights to a binding resolution of trade disputes despite the blockage of appointments to the Appellate Body. The MPIA is a contingent measure to safeguard the right to appeal in the absence of a functioning Appellate Body.

Given the ongoing lack of agreement among WTO members regarding the filling of Appellate Body vacancies, there is no Appellate Body Division available at the current time to deal with the appeal in the dispute concerning countervailing duties imposed by the European Union on imports of biodiesel from Indonesia. Further information will be available within the next few days in document WT/DS618/5.

John H. Jackson Moot Court Competition kicks off with webinar support on offer

Press Room Team — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 23:26:47 +0000

The Competition is a simulated hearing under the rules of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism involving exchanges of written submissions and oral pleadings before panelists on international trade law issues. The competition is organized by the European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) with the technical support of the WTO.

The WTO, the Advisory Centre on WTO Law (ACWL), and ELSA are partnering to support participants interested in this competition by organizing a series of webinars titled “Legal Mooting Masterclass.” These webinars will equip teams and their coaches with the information required to navigate the competition successfully.

The webinars will provide an overview of the competition, useful tools for research on WTO law, and tips on best practices for participating in the competition from experts from the WTO and ACWL.

Four sessions will be held on 6 October and 10 October at different times to accommodate participants around the world; the sessions require prior registration. For the webinar timings and registration form, click here.

Every year, the John H. Jackson Moot Court Competition provides hundreds of students across the globe an opportunity to address interesting and novel questions of WTO law, and to engage with WTO experts who serve as panelists and sponsors of the competition. Students who participate in the Moot Court Competition often go on to internships, graduate programmes, and careers in international trade law.

This year’s case, “Engeli – Measures Relating to Critical Minerals,” explores how WTO members can advance sustainable goals through local content rules, structure critical minerals partnerships, and address human rights concerns in the supply chain in a manner consistent with WTO rules.

MIA’s Skytrain Station 1 reopens, restoring full Concourse D service ahead of Labor Day weekend

Press Room Team — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 15:47:19 +0000

Just in time for Labor Day weekend, Miami International Airport (MIA) has fully reopened its Concourse D Skytrain system with the return of Station 1 on August 25. With all four stations now back in service, travelers can once again enjoy fast, seamless connections across MIA’s busiest concourse, home to 60 gates and millions of travelers each year.

The Skytrain’s return is such great news for our airport, our passengers, and our community. Thanks to the tireless work of the MIA team, we have restored a world-class amenity that makes travel easier and faster for millions of people each year. I know the temporary closure wasn’t easy for travelers, and I thank everyone for their patience and understanding. This reopening is a milestone that reflects progress, resilience, and a brighter future for Miami’s global gateway, and proof that we are moving in the right direction.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava

The reopening of Station 1 concludes a yearlong effort to reinforce and modernize the one-mile system after a 2023 inspection identified areas in need of strengthening. With Stations 2, 3, and 4 reopening earlier this year, the Skytrain is now operating at full capacity with enhanced safety, reliability, and efficiency — ensuring passengers can move comfortably between gates, shops, and services.

The Skytrain’s return is in addition to MIA’s ambitious Future-Ready Modernization in Action (M.I.A.) Plan, a $9 billion capital improvement program that is transforming every corner of the airport. From the new 2,240-space Ibis garage opening in December, to the groundbreaking of the new Concourse K, and the modernization of more than 200 escalators, elevators, and moving walkways over the next five years, the MIA of tomorrow is taking shape today — delivering a world-class passenger experience, empowering the airport workforce, and fueling economic growth across Miami-Dade County and Florida.

Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $9 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $181 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
