Singapore came second, while Luxembourg was third. Eight of the top 10 ranked countries were based in Europe, but leading economic powerhouses Germany, France and the UK landed at 15, 21 and 27 respectively. CNBC

4. EU business shrinks but UK resilient. The eurozone's private sector activity has unexpectedly contracted in September, according to a monthly survey of senior executives by S&P Global. The US rating agency's composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which gathers data from both services firms and manufacturers, sank sharply by 2.1 points to 48.9 this month from August's 51.0, falling below the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction for the first time since February. Analysts had predicted a modest decline to 50.5. The slump was fuelled by Germany's business activity hitting a seven-month low, and France returning to contraction after an uptick in August due to the Olympics. Reuters
5. OECD upgrades global growth forecast. The world's largest economies have "turned the corner" on inflation, the OECD said, though it tempered its optimism by telling governments to cut spending and raise taxes in order to recover fully. The UK's growth forecast for 2024 was upgraded to 1.1%, from a 0.4% prediction in May. The OECD now expects the UK growth to outpace Japan, Italy and Germany, ranking it joint second with Canada and France and behind only the US. The Paris-based think tank remained concerned about Germany, where consumers face a 16% increase in food prices above average wage growth since 2019. However, the eurozone as a whole had its forecast upgraded, from 0.7% growth to 1.3%. Global growth is expected to stabilise at 3.2% in 2024 and 2025, an increase from the 3.1% forecast in May.

6. Global warming worsened Storm Boris. Global warming doubled the chance of extreme rain seen in Europe earlier this month, research has found. Scientists at World Weather Attribution analysed the rain which fell over four days during Storm Boris in central and eastern Europe and compared it to a simulated world which was 1.3C cooler. They found that the storm was twice as likely to happen, and the rain was 7% more intense than a world which had not been as warmed by burning fossil fuels. If the world warms more than 2C above the preindustrial average, such storms would be 50% more likely and 5% more intense, the study found. The Guardian
7. The end of an era. Britain's last coal-fired power station ceased operations today, marking the end of an industry. Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire, the country's "last bastion of coal", shut down at one minute past midnight, The national milestone brings down the curtain on nearly a century and a half of a polluting fuel that powered Britain's industrial revolution. The UK will be the first G7 nation to phase out coal, a testament to a remarkably successful drive to stamp down on the dirtiest source of carbon emissions. This is partly due to luck (the discovery of abundant gas in the North Sea) but is also the result of deliberate policies. The Economist
8. 50 pubs closing each month. Over the first half of 2024, 305 pubs in England and Wales permanently closed, averaging 50 closures per month. Although this marks a decline from the 383 closures during the same period in 2023, pubs continue to struggle under rising costs, inflation and the impending removal of business rates relief, with experts warning that further closures are likely due to upcoming tax hikes in 2025. Industry groups are calling on the government to cut beer duty, reform business rates and freeze other alcohol duties to help the sector recover and prevent more closures. The north-west of England experienced the most closures (46), while Wales saw the fewest (15). The Guardian
9. The shifting shoals of politics. 60% of voters believe that Labour will lose the next election, while just over half do not expect Keir Starmer to be PM by then, according to a poll by More in Common. One in six of those who voted Labour in July’s general election now regret having done so, and 53% of voters believe that Starmer is doing a bad job, according to YouGov. But Labour is still the first choice among voters 65 and over, according to Techne UK: 19% support Labour, 14% the Conservatives and 12% Reform UK. Editor
