NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — The economy of Cyprus is expected to grow by 2.6% this year, a full three points lower than the 2022 increase in the island’s nation’s gross domestic product, the governor of the country’s central bank said Tuesday.Governor Constantinos Herodotou said at an economic forum Tuesday that despite the slower growth rate, the forecast compares favorably with the average growth of 1% expected in other countries that use the euro. Herodotou attributed the situation in Cyprus primarily to a decreased demand for loans because of high interest rates, as well as declines in personal consumption and investments.The country’s growth is predicted to rebound to 3.1% annually in 2024 and 2025 thanks to improved domestic demand, exports and tourism revenue, he said.Cyprus’ inflation rate dropped to 3.8% in April, significantly lower than its peak of 10.6% in July2022. Herodotou said annual inflation is projected to drop to 3.3% and to continue fall...

The PGA Tour season ends on Aug. 27. The Ryder Cup starts a month later. And then the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup will not have to play again until the start of 2024 unless they want to add to their trophy case or bank account.PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan doesn’t see many top players staying home.“I don’t think it’s realistic a player is going to the finish the Ryder Cup or the Presidents Cup and not play golf until January,” Monahan said last week at the Wells Fargo Championship.The idea of a real offseason sounds good on paper. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were among those who lobbied for a shorter regular season. Woods in 2005 was lobbying for a condensed schedule that would bring the best players together more often.The FedEx Cup arrived in 2007 and Woods was true to his word. He didn’t play for 10 weeks, returning at his Target World Challenge in December. He won, prompting Colin Montgomerie to say, “If he took a bloody year off, it would help...

MÉXICO – En el país azteca, el Día de la Madre se celebra el miércoles 10 de mayo, a diferencia de EEUU y otros países, que celebran a la más bella de la casa, el segundo domingo del mes, que este año cae el 14 de mayo.
