ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s central bank has raised its key interest rate by an aggressive 7.5 percentage points, in a new sign of a return to more traditional economic policies. The bank hiked its policy rate to 25% on Thursday. The bank is backtracking from a rate-cutting course set by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that’s been blamed for inflaming a cost-of-living crisis. Many households have been left struggling to afford rent and basic goods as inflation has surged.
NEW YORK — A study points to a “substantial” increase in philanthropic funding for journalism over the past five years, particularly to outlets that serve poor and minority communities.

ABUJA, Nigeria — Nigeria’s statistics agency says the unemployment rate now stands at 4.1%. It’s a multi-decade low but analysts say it’s an undercount. The National Bureau of Statistics, which classifies the employed as those working for at least one hour a week, reported the unemployment data in a new labor force report on Thursday. Analysts say it doesn’t reflect the true number of the unemployed in Nigeria, where many have lost their jobs as a result of surging inflation.
