    Cash Withdrawal Limit Halved at Hundreds of Austrian ATMs

    Several hundred ATMs in Austria have lowered their withdrawal limit from 400 to 200 euros. This change affects around 5% of the country's approximately 8,900 ATMs. Those needing more than 200 euros will have to withdraw money twice, potentially incurring double fees at private operators' machines. The National Bank (OeNB) explained that while the 400 euro limit is a standard, no one is bound by it. The reduction comes as Austria secures its cash supply with public assistance, aiming to install up to 120 new ATMs by 2026.

This move is seen as a significant step in liberalizing the market, previously dominated by Biogénesis Bagó. The new vaccine, Aftogán, is expected to increase competition and potentially reduce prices. The market for foot-and-mouth disease vaccines is worth around USD 150 million annually in Argentina.

    Diesel Price Surge Expected in South Africa

    South Africa's diesel motorists are set for another painful increase at the pumps in August, with projections pointing to hikes of over R1.50 per litre. This follows a surge in international oil prices due to geopolitical tensions involving the US and Iran, which has driven up diesel prices. The increase is likely to have a knock-on effect across the economy, as higher transport and logistics costs often feed through into consumer prices. Petrol users, meanwhile, are expected to receive a small reprieve, with modest price cuts anticipated.
