US 10-year Treasury yield hits level unseen for 19 years

US 10-year Treasury yields have risen to their highest level in nearly two decades. Three main factors drive the increase: persistent inflation, massive bond issuance by the federal government, and investment boom fueled by artificial intelligence. Higher Treasury yields translate to higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses.

Could rising US Treasury yields trigger a global financial crisis?

Treasury bond yields rising globally, Poland under pressure

Treasury bond yields are reaching exceptionally high levels worldwide, raising borrowing costs for governments. Poland faces the same challenge — while Polish bond yields are lower than in Brazil, Mexico or South Africa, rating agency Moody's has already given Poland a "yellow card" that should not be dismissed lightly.

Should Poland take action to reduce its debt servicing costs?

Finance Ministry wants cash registers to send data to tax office in real time

The Finance Ministry plans to implement an "e-VAT" system and National e-Cash Register (KeKR) that will enable automatic transmission of sales data to tax offices.
