Welcome to the March 2023 archive. This page gathers the month’s headlines, timelines, and short explainers so you can catch up fast. If you missed a day, here’s a clear snapshot of what we covered and why it mattered.
March 2023 was a busy month worldwide. A major financial story was the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and related regional-bank stress — we tracked the timeline, regulatory moves, and what it meant for startups and depositors. The Russia–Ukraine war continued to shape headlines: battlefield updates, diplomatic shifts, and energy supply concerns were all covered with date-by-date summaries.
Inflation and central-bank policy stayed front and center. We covered interest-rate moves, how higher rates hit mortgages and lending, and what that meant for everyday budgets. Tech saw big layoffs and rapid moves in AI adoption; our pieces on job cuts and new AI tools focused on concrete impacts for workers and consumers. In climate and weather, we reported on severe storms and regional climate updates that affected travel and farming in several areas.
Each entry in March’s archive includes a quick lead, a short timeline, and a plain-language takeaway. Look for our timelines when you want a sequence of events (for example, the SVB run and government response). Use the explainers to grasp complex topics fast — they break down policy decisions, market reactions, and what to watch next.
If you’re researching a specific topic from March 2023, search by category tags like "finance," "world," "technology," "climate," and "sports." For example, our sports roundup highlights March tournaments and key matchups, while the tech tag groups stories about layoffs, new product launches, and AI breakthroughs. Each article lists the date and a short summary so you can scan quickly.
Want to follow trends rather than single events? Read the weekly recaps in this archive. They note patterns we saw: tighter credit conditions after bank stress, stronger focus on generative AI in product roadmaps, and persistent energy-price volatility tied to geopolitical risks. These recaps point to what readers and consumers needed to watch in the weeks after March.
Practical tips: start with the timeline if you need the order of events, then read the explainer for causes and likely effects. Use the search box to combine tags (for example, "March 2023 + inflation") to narrow results. If a story looks long, read the bullet-summary at the top for the main facts and the last paragraph for what to expect next.
