Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh Leaves Office - Lebanon

File photo dated April 6, 2018 shows Governor of Central Bank of Lebanon Riad Salame (or Salameh) attends CEDRE Conference (Economic Conference on Development of Lebanon by Reform and with Companies) in Paris, France. Lebanon’s veteran central bank governor leaves office on Monday after 30 years on the job with two international arrest warrants to his name and no designated successor. Riad Salameh, 73, who was appointed governor of the Banque du Liban in 1993, was for years credited with stabilising a battered economy after a 15-year civil war. He outlasted 12 premiers and was once seen as a viable candidate for president. But Salameh’s reputation is now in tatters, dogged by allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement. The Lebanese pound has lost more than 98 per cent of its value against the dollar since 2019, impoverishing three-quarters of the population. Photo by Ammar Abd Rabbo/ABACAPRESS.COM

Towa Electric Industry's 6-kilowatt charger for electric vehicles

Towa Electric Industry (Kita Ward, Okayama City), in cooperation with Wako Denken (Yao City, Osaka Prefecture), has commercialized a low-cost 6-kilowatt battery charger for electric vehicles (EVs).

The battery can be recharged in 12.5 hours with Nissan's LEAF e+ EV, halving the recharging time compared to a 3-kilowatt charger. Towa Electric Industry is engaged in the maintenance of power generation facilities, telecommunications work, and electrical work for stores in Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. "In April 2018, the company launched its first product, a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system for large facilities such as factories, with the aim of expanding its peripheral businesses related to electricity.
