Which businesses should have to disclose foreign ownership?
Summary
Marketplace reports on the Treasury Department’s new rule limiting foreign ownership disclosure to foreign entities, a move small business advocates welcome but fraud experts warn could enable money laundering. The episode also analyzes why oil markets remain calm despite the Strait of Hormuz being largely closed, with experts citing anticipated de-escalation and potential supply gluts. Finally, it touches on recent retail sales growth and a slight dip in July jobs, which economists view as an anomaly.
