During the first half of 2026, Spanish companies invested €13.232 billion abroad, expanding their focus to the United States and the United Kingdom as their main destinations.

In their aim to attract foreign capital, Spanish companies are concentrating on areas such as financial services, food, and telecommunications, which, according to recent estimates, account for 33 %, 19 %, and 15 % of their investments, respectively.

“In the first half of 2026, gross Spanish investment abroad reached €13.232 billion, 13.2 % more than in the same period of 2025,” according to the latest data from the Foreign Investment Registry of the State Secretariat for Trade.

The United States leads the way in foreign investment, followed by the United Kingdom and Australia. The position of the first two is not circumstantial. “In terms of accumulated stock, the Ministry projected that in 2024 the United States would be the main destination for Spanish investment, with 16 % of the total, and the United Kingdom with another 14 %. Latin America accounted for another 30 %, which paints a picture of a foreign investment portfolio with a strong Anglo-Saxon and Latin American component.”

Behind Spanish investment abroad are large business groups and companies with the capacity to operate internationally, “especially in financial, industrial, and energy activities,” which includes the insurance and manufacturing sectors.

Andy Burnham officially became Keir Starmer’s successor on Monday, taking over as British Prime Minister after King Charles III asked him to form a government.

As is known, Starmer had submitted his resignation to the monarch last June, and it was only a matter of days before Burnham took over.

The 56-year-old, who previously served as Mayor of Manchester, must now take the reins of the country and regain the public’s trust.

The United Kingdom continues to be mired in a political and economic crisis, which has worsened with the announcement of the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who will remain in office until his successor is elected.

The nomination period for the position will begin on July 9. This election will take place before Parliament resumes its sessions in September.

Several names are already being considered to succeed Starmer, among them Andy Burnham, “who until now was mayor of Manchester and who last week won the seat that will enable him to lead the Labour Party and the country.”

If no other candidate enters the race, Burnham could be elected Prime Minister by mid-July.

The hearings in the territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela will begin on May 4 in The Hague, as announced by Guyana’s Attorney General, Mohabir Anil Nandlall.

The official explained that “the International Court of Justice will begin hearings on the merits of the case that Guyana filed against Venezuela regarding the territorial dispute over the Essequibo, a large territory administered by Georgetown and claimed by Caracas.”

According to Nandlall, international lawyers representing Guyana will participate in the hearings in The Hague.

The 1899 Paris Arbitration Award granted sovereignty over the Essequibo territory to what was then British Guiana. The Essequibo is a border territory of approximately 160,000 square kilometers, rich in oil deposits and natural resources.

Venezuela declared the award null and void and signed the 1966 Geneva Agreement with the United Kingdom, which established a commission to resolve the historical dispute. However, this commission never materialized.

Three countries have joined forces in the fight against crypto scams: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Operation Atlantic allows for anticipating attacks, identifying victims, and detecting the use of AI in fraudulent schemes.

The alliance of the three countries “seeks to identify criminal networks, thwart phishing attacks, and recover funds stolen from unsuspecting investors.”

Operation Atlantic “integrates key institutions such as the U.S. Secret Service, the UK’s National Crime Agency, and Canadian entities such as the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ontario Securities Commission.”

According to Brent Daniels, Deputy Director of Field Operations for the U.S. Secret Service, investment fraud and phishing scams, which have escalated alarmingly worldwide, result in losses of millions of dollars annually.

“Crypto fraud is reaching critical levels, with phishing as the primary weapon. Criminals convince victims to approve malicious transactions on the blockchain, giving them control over the tokens in their wallets,” authorities stated.

Furthermore, blockchain specialists have revealed thefts of billions of dollars in recent years through the use of artificial intelligence, as “deepfakes, automated chatbots, and identity theft facilitate massive campaigns that contact hundreds of thousands of targets in hours with convincing messages.”

Hence, the importance of Operation Atlantic in confronting this global and adaptable threat. “Authorities are committed to a swift and coordinated response to counter increasingly frequent scams. This coalition could set a new standard in the fight against cybercrime.”

The Hyundai TUCSON was named “Best Used Family SUV” at the What Car? Used Car Awards,, organized by the British specialist magazine What Car?, for the year 2025, reaffirming the appeal of this model not only as a new vehicle but also as one of the top choices in the used car market.

The What Car? jury — one of the UK’s most prestigious and respected automotive publications and a benchmark for buyers worldwide — praised the Tucson for its exceptional practicality, premium interior quality, efficient driving dynamics, and high resale value.

“If interior space is a priority, the Hyundai TUCSON is an ideal choice. Four tall adults will travel comfortably, and the trunk is truly spacious. The interior quality is also impressive. Furthermore, it’s enjoyable to drive, has very efficient hybrid versions, and a reputation for reliability that inspires confidence,” said Mark Pearson, Used Car Editor at What Car?

“The fact that this attractive family SUV offers such outstanding value when purchased used sealed the deal for the jury,” he added.

Since its launch in 2021, the Tucson has remained one of the UK’s best-selling vehicles and has received numerous international accolades from media outlets such as Top Gear, Auto Express, and Carbuyer.

Brand new or used: best Family SUV

Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai Motor and Genesis UK, commented: “The TUCSON has proven to be a highly desirable SUV for tens of thousands of new car buyers for years, so it’s no surprise that its attributes are equally valued by those looking for a pre-owned vehicle. What Car? naming it Best Used Family SUV 2025 is further proof of this. It’s a stylish, enjoyable vehicle to drive and offers exceptional value.”

One of the many Hyundai dealerships always ready to provide advice and information in Venezuela is Iksan Motors, located in Las Mercedes (Caracas).

The NGO Bitcoin Argentina asserts that by the beginning of 2026, the countries accumulating the most Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency in the market, are the United States, China, and the United Kingdom.

Holding BTC is crucial for these economies in a global context marked by financial uncertainty, inflation, and political instability.

This was stated to Bloomberg Line by Matías Mathey, from the Board of Directors of the NGO Bitcoin Argentina, who also pointed out that the volatility of the cryptocurrency has not diminished the interest of these three countries in further accumulation.

He explains this phenomenon by indicating that leaders do not make decisions based on the daily price of Bitcoin, which has experienced sharp fluctuations since the last quarter of 2025, but rather with a long-term perspective. He also emphasized that the digital currency only needs time, not political consensus, referring to the current tensions between various countries.

According to the Bitcoin Treasuries platform, Bitcoin holdings in 2026 are distributed as follows: States with a total of 328,372 BTC, equivalent to USD 29.707 billion; China with 190,000 BTC (around USD 17.189 billion); and the United Kingdom with 61,245 BTC (approximately USD 5.541 billion).

They are joined by Ukraine, with 46,351 BTC (around USD 4.193 billion); and El Salvador, in Latin America, with 7,518 BTC (around USD 680 million). The United Arab Emirates follows with 6,420 BTC (approximately USD 581 million), and Bhutan has 5,984 BTC (around USD 541 million).

The UK financial giant IG Group became the first broker on Tuesday to offer retail clients the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies.

The London-listed entity will offer spot trading and “expands its multi-asset platform with direct access to bitcoin, ethereum, solana, and 35 other cryptocurrencies.”

The initiative was made possible through IG Group’s partnership with the exchange Uphold, which will be responsible for the custody of assets and the execution of transactions.

After the news broke, the list of client requests began to grow. The IG Group has warned that the transactions “will not be protected by the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which protects up to £85,000 (approximately $115,000) in traditional products.”
