Preserving the Safe Haven Attributes of US Treasury Markets

2025-06-01T12:51:15+00:00

US Treasury securities have long been considered the quintessential global safe haven asset, foundational to the international financial system. However, recent episodes of market dysfunction, notably the "dash for cash" in March 2020, have underscored vulnerabilities in their liquidity and market functioning. This article examines the critical factors underpinning the safe haven status of US Treasuries and analyzes the challenges that threaten this unique position. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of economic literature, we delve into the structural characteristics of the Treasury market, including its over-the-counter nature and the role of dealer intermediation, and discuss how these contribute to liquidity fragility during periods of stress. We then explore a range of proposed reforms and policy interventions, such as central clearing, all-to-all trading, and expanded access to central bank facilities, designed to enhance market resilience. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of these reforms to ensure that US Treasuries can continue to fulfill their vital role as a stable anchor for global finance, balancing efficiency with robustness in an evolving economic landscape.

Financial analysis tools for assessing the investment attractiveness of agricultural projects in the United States

2025-06-03T03:26:28+00:00

This article focuses on the analysis and practical application of financial tools aimed at evaluating the investment attractiveness of agricultural projects in the United States. In a context of declining domestic investment and a volatile business climate, agricultural enterprises require accurate assessments of their internal reserves and creditworthiness. The relevance of this study is driven by the need to identify effective financing mechanisms and enhance the competitiveness of farming operations facing additional pressure from seasonal price fluctuations and technological transformation.

The novelty of the research lies in a detailed examination of the interrelation between depreciation monitoring methods, liquidity analysis, capital structure, and profitability. The study presents comparative approaches to long-term lending and solvency assessment and draws on sources addressing trends in investment flows, challenges related to fixed asset renewal, the specifics of banking activity, and external support programs. Particular attention is given to risk assessment, including potential capital outflows and insufficient diversification of financing channels.

The study aims to identify optimal strategies for strengthening the financial stability of agricultural enterprises. A comparative method and financial statement analysis were applied to achieve this goal. The conclusion outlines a sequence of steps enabling an objective forecast of project profitability. This article will be of interest to investors, enterprise managers, and specialists in agricultural management.

The Economic Impact of AI Adoption: Measuring Productivity and Competitive Advantage in International Enterprises

2025-06-10T11:28:18+00:00

This article covers the economic impact analysis by quantitative assessment through implementing artificial intelligence technologies. It analyzes how AI solutions are Productively applied and the formation of sustainable competitive advantage in multinational corporations. The relevance of this study is justified by the rapid growth that exists in corporate and venture investments in AI, a forecast of global AI spending to reach USD 632 billion by 2028, and a need for companies to adapt business processes as fast as possible to keep them competitive in the international market. The novelty of the work lies in a comprehensive synthesis of industry statistics (CB Insights, IDC, McKinsey, PwC, OECD), resource‐based theory of the firm, and the concept of dynamic capabilities to explain sustainable advantages. The methodology includes descriptive and comparative analysis of financial metrics, macroeconomic forecasts of AI’s added value, and detailed case studies of implementations at Google, Amazon, Nike, and Starbucks. The significant results show that, in general, artificial intelligence raises firms’ labor productivity by 0–11%, improves Overall Equipment Effectiveness in manufacturing, quickens Time‐to‐Market, and increases Customer Lifetime Value in retail and services. Generative AI can add between 1.3% and 9.3% of revenue in different fields of business; also, the worldwide economic impact is approximated at USD 2.6–4.4 trillion per year. Sustainable competitive advantage emerges at the intersection of VRIN resources (unique data, algorithms, infrastructure) and firms’ ability to sense, seize, and transform new opportunities rapidly. At the same time, the key constraints are regulatory costs, the capital intensity of infrastructure, and the hype cycle effect. This article will be helpful for managers, strategists, and analysts of multinational corporations, as well as consultants and researchers assessing the economic efficiency and competitive benefits of AI implementation.
