    Nissan’s CEO Ivan Espinosa is working hard to save the struggling Japanese carmaker, which faces a $5.6 billion debt repayment wall next year.

In addition to issuing convertible securities and bonds, including high-yielding US dollar and euro notes, Nissan also plans to take out a £1 billion syndicated loan, guaranteed by UK Export Finance.

    Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong won his mandate on Saturday to lead the trade-dependent city into the tariff chaos wrought by US President Donald Trump. He’ll also need to navigate the shifting demands of voters frustrated by high prices as he embarks on his first elected term as leader. It won’t be easy. Wong’s ruling People’s Action Party retained its supermajority in the May 3 election, and with nearly 66% of the popular vote, improved on its 2020 performance.
