NASSAU, Bahamas, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On December 31, 2024, the “Menstrual Equity Project” , jointly initiated by KuCoin, Global CSR Foundation, and the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA), has made new progress. The second batch of aid supplies has been successfully shipped to the Bahamas, providing urgently needed sanitary products for 4,000 local women and effectively improving their quality of life.

The “Menstrual Equity Project” aims to offer sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions to marginalized women and girls, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the oldest multi-specialty medical organization promoting women’s advancement in the medical field and improving women’s health, AMWA’s mission is in perfect alignment with KuCoin’s commitment to social responsibility.

With the support of the Office of the First Lady of Commonwealth of Bahamas H. E. Ann Marie Davis, this round of donated materials focuses on disposable menstrual pads. This decision reflects the local challenges of water scarcity and high washing costs, while also providing essential emergency supplies for women during natural disasters such as hurricanes and typhoons.

Since KuCoin made a firm commitment to social welfare initiatives during the “KuCoin Green Future Gala” at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in 2023, the company has actively fulfilled its corporate social responsibilities. The “Menstrual Equity Project” has become a key initiative under this commitment.

In March 2024, the project’s first phase was implemented, distributing 1,000 menstrual kits—each containing 10 sanitary pads and 2 menstrual cups—to Suriname, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and domestic violence shelters in New York and California.

The smooth delivery of the second batch of supplies to the Bahamas will benefit 4,000 women.

Jing Zhao Cesarone，President of Global CSR Foundation, commented:”KuCoin has set a remarkable example in addressing period poverty in underserved regions, demonstrating its enthusiasm and dedication to social responsibility.”

Nancy Cheung, KuCoin’s Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), emphasized:”As a global leader in the digital economy, KuCoin is committed to advancing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on key areas such as climate change, health, and education, driving more philanthropic initiatives to fruition. We also plan to expand the scope of the ‘Menstrual Equity Project,’ collaborating with more international organizations to improve women’s living conditions and contribute to global sustainable development.”

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The inaugural PHBS-IER Conference, jointly organized by Peking University HSBC Business School (PHBS) and the International Economic Review (IER), held at PHBS from December 22 to 23. Centered on the theme “Financial Frictions for Firms and Households: Implications for Economic Development and Government Policies,” this two-day event brought together an impressive assembly of over 130 senior professors and emerging scholars from prestigious universities worldwide, including Princeton University, The University of Pennsylvania, Boston University, The University of Southern California, Emory University, University College London, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.

One of the most anticipated moments of the conference was the keynote address delivered by Nobel laureate Thomas Sargent. In his presentation titled “Fiscal Consequences of the US War on COVID,” Professor Sargent traced the evolution of US fiscal and monetary policy from the 19th to the 21st century. He noted that such crises like the long-term impact of wars on fiscal and monetary policy, often lead to fiscal deficits, significant price volatility, and enduring institutional changes. Furthermore, he discussed the complex interactions between fiscal, monetary, and tax policies, particularly emphasizing the role of “game theory” in shaping policymaker decisions. He underscored the importance of “budget constraints,” “coordination between monetary and fiscal policies,” and “power distribution” in managing these challenges.

Other notable presentations covered a broad range of topics and fields within economics. These included research on the impact of multinational corporations on technology development and innovation, investigations into the reallocation and pricing of illiquid capital in financial markets, and explorations of the effects of low interest rates on inflation and debt rollover.

The conference received a total of 211 high-quality paper contributions through an open call for submissions. Among these, eight were ultimately selected for inclusion, six of which were featured in a Special Issue of the IER. Leveraging this opportunity, PHBS and IER aim to deepen their collaboration, establishing an annual exchange platform that will ignite research vitality, promote high-level economic research, and contribute valuable insights to the advancement of economics in Asia and across the globe.
