These figures are enough to make you dizzy. My colleagues and I have therefore decided last year that set the way we wanted to see the World Bank loan, we should learn more about the people who live in the States we lend. That’s why we went to meet them, by launching a study in which the word was given to the poor, the testimonies of 60,000 men and women among the poor in 60 countries, their hopes, their aspirations and lived.

When asked what might make the poor more than their lives, they give very different answers. An elderly woman in Africa: For me, a better life is health, peace, live surrounded with love, and no longer hungry. A young man in the Middle East: Nobody is able to express our problems. Who represents us? Person. A woman in Latin America: Who can be trusted, police or criminals? Our security, we pledge ourselves. We work and live caches. A mother in South East: When my child asks me something to eat, I told him that the rice is cooking, until he falls asleep from hunger, as there no rice.

These words are strong, full of dignity. Those who utter them are a resource, rather than a burden that calls the charity. They can build their future if they are given the opportunity and hope. They talk about security, a better life for their children, peace, family, and a life free from anxiety and fear. We must listen to their aspirations: it is the same as ours.

Tax on financial transactions or air transport, a reversal of the EU CO2 auctioning revenues: the different options on the table, which is your preference? We work on all eight options. Some would pose difficulties, as the tax on financial transactions, which would aim mainly London and Frankfurt, or the repayment of auction revenues of CO2, which would be at the expense of the countries of Eastern Europe, including the energy mix depends largely on coal. But the tax on air transport, for example, is inherently transnational.

For 2011, the Council lowered your proposed budget, with an increase in spending reduced from 6 % to 3%, while some, like David Cameron, called even reduce the EU budget. What do you tell them? I understand the problems of finance ministers. But do not necessarily cut into the CAP and Cohesion Policy, which pushes the Member States to invest in fine and acts as an anti-crisis remedy. What is needed above all is reduce administrative costs, although they represent only about 8 billion euros of spending 130 billion and 142 billion in commitment appropriations. Member States have chosen to address the wage increases EU officials: targeting the grandfather is not the right way, because it is taking the risk to face a Court of Justice of the European Union. We must above all stop the growth of new community structures that, once created, are still demanding more money and more jobs. Read the rest of this entry »

No one can deny the evidences which are discussed in this article. Nevertheless we attend evoked overflows and no one was able to block. Second, even if the court is of high quality, it can not intervene after the event, even if it is reactive it will oppose the political will. Now this mission is impossible if it is a political will or more states find their accounts. Europe does not work according to the technocracy, but on the political will. Beyond this point, it is crutial about the choice of a federal state or not remains a bone of contention in the vision of a community economy. We must take the fundamentals of European integration, ie the production and management of energy. Why not, because we can not aspire to advance in Europe, if we divide on this point. However, both the consensus was more or less made after the Treaty of Rome, as he becomes the subject of choice of today’s society.

We were right to make the choice of civilian nuclear power, but no longer the case. I do not take sides in an ecology that is often excessive, but to a realism of both the mentality of a choice that Europeans rallied as much as possible. When Mr. Fillon speaks of a great tool that is Areva, it is probably true, but now has a tool already desu. If we do not make the effort to bet primarily on Europe, we regress. And will remain a satellite of the United States. Gold was also well what it was at the foundation of Europe should not be forgotten. All, and especially the French leaders.

3. Social pressure. Stay away from work during the formation of a bubble may seem very painful for some, especially if others get rich quickly. This impression of miss the fete led investors-especially the new vulgus economicus-to invest in markets that have become highly dangerous. Similarly, experienced investors can properly decide not to take the opposite position and play the bubble for some time, while carefully managing downside risk. Most of the hoi polloi will do, finally, seeing his charges explode with the investment bubble burst when the experienced investor will have already sailed to other opportunites stock market free from silting. 4. Loss aversion. Research shows that converting a paper loss in actual loss (namely sell a stock, an asset that has lost value) is one of the most painful experience for investors, or trend-hardly surprising-a catastrophe act without worry about losing positions, their sole purpose being to persuade them to limit losses in. compounding market volatility.

For example, it is rare that an open position to take advantage of a theme in the short term, in the spirit of the investor, is transformed into long-term investment, even after the disappearance of this theme. The aversion to common sense and patience stock often prevent new market entrants to seize opportunities and promising spasmodic has led investors take greater risks to offset any future losses.

However, some industry professionals, and have lost some Meilleurtaux emblematic signs. No, it is not related to this, denies Christophe Cremer, there are simply banks and brokers who like others do not. And institutions such as BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Credit Agricole, LCL. use it without difficulty, while others, the image of La Banque Postale, are more refractory.

But it’s the problem! We imagine a car dealer has promised its customers access to all the models at the best price, with the exception of Renault? In fact, if the broker appears now well established in the landscape of credit and consumer habits, his consecration is recent. Brokers were long confined to the processing of cases judges delicate. They then evolved over the last decade, sting, admittedly, for which the Internet wave Christophe Cremer was the most emblematic of Representatives.

We see that there is an awareness of the niches. We now recommend to Parliament and government to translate these good intentions into billions! Presenting the last annual report of the Court of Auditors on Social Security, its first president, Didier Migaud, was invited into the debate less than three weeks of the presentation of budget documents. And he set the bar very high, much higher than the government, on the subject of specific social niches, promoting 15 billion euros in savings. The budget minister, Francois Baroin, stick a 10 billion of gains on a much wider field as covering both the tax and social charges (see page 6). In 2007, the Court of Auditors had already, with some success, focused on exemptions from, rate reductions and other reductions to base charges on accounts.

The conclusion of our follow-up survey is that the progress made since insufficient, said Didier Migaud. In making estimates revised upwards the cost of 178 niches identified by the Court: they accounted for 66.7 billion euros in 2009 (against 42 billion raised by Bercy) instead of 57.6 billion in 2005. In addition, new measures (exemption from overtime) accounted for a higher expenditure than the savings elsewhere between 2007 and 2010: doubling of the social package (4%) on profit-sharing, contributions on stock options and severance of formal retirement, etc.

Savings deposits or radical recommendations of the Court. The high court first Financial prone alignment CSG rate for taxable pensions (6.6%) of the assets (7.5%) representing 1.1 billion. This evolution is being studied in the majority to support the reform of the dependence. Another recommendation: to get. 19% of the fee-sharing and social participation (the level of contributions accumulated sick and family), with a key to gain a $ 4 billion. The extension package titles restaurants and gift-Holidays bring another billion. Regarding the nationwide reduction of the low-paid, lower the threshold for release of 1.6 to 1.4 SMIC is recommended (5,000,000,000). Finally, the Court suggested a lower threshold for exemption from severance pay (redundancy, retirement) at the level of statutory benefits (3000000000), and a new tax of 9% pension cap.

Accounting rules. David Tweedie, Chairman of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has recognized that the methods of valuation to fair value of the debts of banking groups were against-intuitive. During the crisis, the downward revision of the value of banks’ liabilities due to the deterioration of their credit ratings has indeed led to an artificial increase in profits. Conversely, improving their financial strength had a negative effect on their accounts. Evidenced by the volatility of the results of Barclays, HSBC, Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale in 2008 and 2009. This perverse effect should not happen again. The IASB proposes to transfer because the valuation of liabilities in the income statement to another part of the balance sheet. This reform will not come, however, under two years.

With increasing life expectancy, it is common for new unions are formed. During the chat devoted to blended families, our guest Jean Francois, a Paris lawyer and author of a book on estate and published by Delmas has answered many questions. In particular, he discusses the impact of a new union for two pensions by answering the following question: .

Elias: Future retirement, I intend to live with my friend who has just stopped its activity. In case of PACS and marriage, it is the impact on our pensions? On the transmission of wealth when one of us disappear?

Jean_Francois_SAGAUT: The situation between the partners bound by a PACS and married spouses is different. For spouses, they have a right to a share in the estate of the other (determined according to whether or not children) and the other a right to the reversion of the pension. Be careful if the deceased had been married, there is a division of reversion between different partners in proportion to the number of years of marriage. Read the rest of this entry »

A list of some sixty persons, ministers, CEOs, businessmen, is published in the press to that effect. Mid 2008, fifteen of them were arrested, tried and sentenced to heavy prison sentences and heavy fines. Experts like Dooh Collins Francis is appointed to investigate the 162 million Euros, which the government had been hijacked. Jacques Verges had also been sought..

The Cameroonian government has received international support in this operation, including the FBI, the U.S. Federal police. Former U.S. Ambassador to Cameroon, Niels Marquardt, had shown intransigent on the subject: this is not enough to publish the names of those suspected of corruption or to meet their functions.

Those accused of corruption should be formally charged, prosecuted and sentenced if found guilty. At the same time, their ill-gotten gains must be confiscated and returned to the treasury.

This is for states that are providing support to track the fortunes of the persons referred to abroad, including in tax havens, but according to the U.S. Embassy this is not easy because there are accounts laundered.

According to the sponsors of the survey, Antoine Dulin and Jean Merckaert, 105 to $180 billion (75 billion euros and 130) were collected by thirty dictators African American, Asian and European. Below, The Messenger takes the part of the report on Cameroon and its president, Paul Biya, posted yesterday in the Journal of the Cameroon site available under www.journalducameroun.com.

Mr. Cecchetti, professor of finance, sees this extra credit as a triumph. We see it as trouble very attractive. Like a grenade into a nursery school, children can only play with. Until it explodes..

In 1985, there were only 1 600 billion of mortgages in the United States. And only 500 billion of them were in pools used to back titles. Twenty years later, total mortgage debt is approaching 10 000 billion, including $7,500 billion were securitized.

The Fed tries to rescue her. But when the cavalry finally arrived, she literally gallops above.

What the U.S. Economy desperately needs and deserves it, it’s a slowdown. People have borrowed too much. And spent too freely. Now they must reduce their standard of living and repay their debts. The sooner they will fulfill these chores, the better they will be. Of course, it will not be easy or painless-but it will give them a solid base to leave. Read the rest of this entry »

The shock wave caused by the subprime crisis, these loans granted to U.S. Households with poor credit and small, continues to have repercussions. For over a year, the world economy has been undermined by the financial turmoil, the soaring prices of raw materials and oil as well as tighter credit conditions. Result: No country is immune to the slowdown in growth in 2008 and 2009. This is the worst crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Nobody knows today how long it will last.

Summary of the Economic Editors After several months of retreat, culminating with a record of the euro in July, the dollar returns to form, while the outlook deteriorated in the United States as in the rest of the world, analysts will be highlighting its safe haven. Yesterday, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) confirmed in its interim report that the U.S. Economy is in recession next year and know the the most marked slowing of the whole OECD area. Meanwhile, the dollar appears to rise against the euro, pound sterling and Swiss franc. In the past month, the paradox has shown so blatant, so even the difficulties of U.S. Carmaker General Motors, with approximately 250,000 employees, including the fall would be a cataclysm for the global economy, have helped support the greenback..

To observe the curves of the greenback, it seems that his recovery time because of the summer when, after a plateau in mid-July, he began to regain cent per cent ground lost during the previous six months. Against the euro, it marks the beginning of a movement that analysts will want to see as a correction of the single European currency, after its record 1.6038 on July 15, but that transforms into a long retirement.

The last lowest date has seen the euro exchange dollar against 1.2330 on Oct. 28. Of the last four months the euro has lost a fifth of its value against the dollar, the pound quarter, the Australian dollar third. The currencies of emerging economies, Turkish lira, Mexican peso or South African rand, have been bled white. For the markets, we must acknowledge that they attend one of the consequences of the financial crisis.

First, the dollar was supported by the idea, pregnant among investors that the U.S. Would suffer less from the crisis than others, or at least it would derive more quickly because of their economic voluntarism. But the main reason for the rise in the greenback, analysts said, lies in two words: credit crunch (credit crisis). Read the rest of this entry »

A rising inflation means a decrease in purchasing power, that is to say, a consumer driven down. Food inflation remains the worst experienced by French households because they feel it everyday. Soaring commodity prices persists and does not predict a future decline in inflation. To be continued.

According to Jean-Francois Leveille, assistant vice president of credit cards and payment cards Laurentian Bank, there is no ideal age to begin with the credit. But there are ways to do so. You have to be careful, but do not be afraid. Credit Card is one of the tools available to make his first steps. Mr. Leveille recommends starting with a low limit..

If I reach my limit of 500 or $1000 and I find myself in the inability to pay, I will not lose my house or car shows there. If I was living a bad experience, both to live with a smaller amount. The use of credit card, even moderate, can also build their credit rating. This will facilitate future funding requests for major purchases. We must show that we do not use it as a second salary. For the neophyte of the loan, no need to have a card that earns any points. At first, better get it for what it is, a payment instrument, and avoid frequent flyer programs.

And so, at what age do we start? I would not say a specific age, replied Mr. Leveille. But we can start about a year or two before the time or you think I really need the credit.

Your prediction of a 18% drop in property prices by 2010 is not it a bit excessive? Experts speak generally of a soft landing, stabilizing. Alexander Mirlicourtois: By majority, yes, but I assure you that the tone is changing! Just remember that real estate prices in UK have doubled in 10 years..

My prediction is not alarmist than that, a decrease of 18% in three years compared to an increase of 100%, I even found it pretty reasonable! And then the real estate market never knows moderate correction. Remember what happened in Paris in the 90s, after six years of double-digit increase, prices eventually settle down and we enjoyed six consecutive years of decline between 1992 and 1997. In terms of magnitude of changes, the situation we have now is actually quite comparable to that of the turn of 1990/91 the difference. A loan that the increase in recent years has concerned the whole of UK and not just Paris. To this I add that during the ten years during which housing prices have doubled, the gross domestic product of UK has increased by only 26%. The purchasing power of households, he, has appreciated by 29%. We have never known of the differences of this magnitude. There’s no doubt there will be an adjustment and this adjustment can not be that price.

If I understand correctly, the crash? Mirlicourtois Alexander: I am talking about a decrease severe but fair. The fall I plan to take the next three years the property prices to their levels of 2004/2005. Once again, I find it quite reasonable. A series of demographic and sociological factors that are lower than can be rather limited. Foreign demand should also act as a brake down, particularly in some districts of Paris, where she is very strong. In your study you refer to the globalization of real estate cycles and risks of contamination of European markets. Yet we know that the market for real estate french, since he particular interest to us, is nothing like walking in the United States. For example, one assumes, no variable rates in UK. Mirlicourtois Alexander: Yes, and for this, UK also differs from the United Kingdom or Spain, which are probably more vulnerable. Read the rest of this entry »

The banks have suffered again Thursday, when investors realized that the massive injection of financial liquidity, MADE Wednesday by five major central banks would not be enough to bail them out.

The problem of banks is not a liquidity problem but capitalization, has said economist Patrick Artus Friday.

According to Mr. Arthur, the banks involved in credit risks have to reassure the financial community, finding investors willing to agree to strengthen their capital base. They are for these banks to demonstrate their capacity to cope with losses on these credits, no matter what.

Consumers benefit from the leverage. In fact, as buildings have intrinsic value, banks extend mortgage loans to buyers generous.

Residential or rental ? In addition to these broad similarities, the decision to purchase a residence differs somewhat from that to buy an income property. This operation is more akin to consumption. This is why it is recommended that households purchase a home that meets their needs and respect their means, as they would if it were a cooker or a television.

Thus, a person who has trouble saving should buy a house and pay it in 10 years. Then she would repeat this trick with a cottage. However, buying an income property, it is indeed an investment decsion. Buying an income property requires business acumen and a certain tolerance for risk. Borrow up to 75% of the value of the property. Build a cushion equivalent to one year in monthly installments.

Chris Anderson warns traditional media, especially newspapers, in turmoil, they must face the fact that their content will bring in more money as never before, and they must reinvent their model of company. After the massacre, he wrote, will come a new role for professional journalists. They will be fewer, less paid, maybe they will work less, and maybe they will do anything to earn their crust. As teach others how to write to them!.

This example has involved the ire of the author of the bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell, who spoke in an article published in The New Yorker.

If a person can pay another to write to his place, writes Gladwell, then why can not she herself be paid? Chris Anderson REPLIES on its website that those to whom we will learn to write will not professionals, but people of community -a buzzword-which will not for money But to help others. For example, a computer engineer who maintains a blog is a part-time speaking of fathers in the home.

An idea that is priceless in his article, Malcolm Gladwell points out that many products Free did not profitability, starting with YouTube, bought by Google and, according to Credit, will lose close to half a billion U.S. Dollars this year. YouTube demonstrates all the limitations of the Free: The way consumers use impairs the ability of YouTube to make a profit and forced him to adopt strategies that run counter to the concept of Free, for example exert a selection on the online videos.

Moreover, Gladwell writes, we are entering an era without doubt or ideas, in fact, have no price. Of course, the New York Times gives its Internet content, but the Wall Street Journal has more than one million subscribers who are happy to pay to access their content on the Web.

Chris Anderson takes up the phrase of the author Stewart Brand: Information wants to be free. In the circles of American intellectuals, the book is controversial. Some, like the author Malcolm Gladwell, demolishing the argument and others like Seth Godin, author of All Marketers Are Liars, accedes: the culture of the free should be considered a fait accompli, we How this business model going to change the world?

The American authorities announced Monday the acquisition of Wachovia by one of the giants of the sector, Citigroup. They felt that the fate of this establishment posed risks to financial stability in the country. In consultation with the President (George W. Bush), Treasury Secretary (Henry Paulson) has determined that open bank assistance was necessary to avoid serious negative effects on the economic situation and financial stability, the Fund said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Citigroup will take over the bulk of banking transactions of the bank from Charlotte (North Carolina, southeastern U.S.) and the corresponding liabilities but not its brokerage operations, AG Edwards, and asset management, Evergreen..

The agreement provides that Citigroup will absorb up to $42 billion of losses on Wachovias portfolio, while federal authorities will absorb losses beyond, a collection of some 312 billion dollars of loans made by the bank.

Citigroup will compensate the state for this risk by providing $12 billion in preferred stock and warrants.

8.9 billion loss in second quarter The FDIC, whose funds were cut by the thirteen bank failures recorded since the beginning of the year in the United States, finds that this arrangement should avoid that the taxpayer does not lose a penny on this transaction. The decision was taken this morning in extraordinary circumstances with significant consultation among the regulators and the Treasury, has said the FDIC chairwoman Sheila Bair. The latter, whose agency’s tasks is to manage the assets of failed banks, said Wachovia has (VAIT) no bankruptcy.

To do this, it will bring departing between 30 and 50% of the amount of the transaction and spread the remaining balance on a period determined by the assignor, usually about 3 years. So the transferor that takes risks on the balance. However, this risk-taking is a sign of the serious buyer for the different actors and partners of the firm, as well as for banks.

The transferor and the transferee can integrate the credit seller a clause providing for a portion of the price of securities of the Company resumed depends on the future results of the company (clause Earn Out).

This alliance has fixed period allows the buyer to be accompanied by the transferor during a transitional period.

This operation can not be done, however, that in a climate of mutual trust, both parties being satisfied of the competence of the other.

This system is however little used because different advisers involved in a transfer of business and banks do not recommend it. Indeed, they believe that it is not the transferor to take risks because it can not recover the additional price on failure of the recovery of the company. Read the rest of this entry »

From our special correspondent in New York when General Electric (GE) cough is America catches a cold. Invented the formula for General Motors is just as well for the giant conglomerate with $180 billion in sales, the fourth global company by market capitalization, which manufactures aircraft engines, manages hospital services and owns the chain of NBC television, among other activities. Yesterday the group announced it was reducing its earnings forecast for the second time this year. It expects an annual net profit of between 19.5 and 21 billion dollars instead of 22 to 23 initially planned. Given the dramatic recent developments on financial markets, we have taken difficult decisions to reduce risk and strengthen our balance sheet while maintaining our dividend, said Jeff Immelt, GE’s boss. In addition to its industrial activities, the group derives about half its profits from its finance subsidiary GE Capital..

Now home loans it grants to individuals or small businesses, like restaurants, are strongly affected by the crisis. Despite the contingency plan discussed in Congress, the U.S. Economy en danger, as President Bush begins to see the financial turmoil spread to industrial enterprises and services.

Companies are no longer able to finance through debt, has said Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve. The statistics published yesterday are the remains worrisome.

Never since the creation of the European Central Bank in 1999, his rate was so low. This low rate directly influences the interbank interest rate mortgages..

According to the credit specialist Empruntis, mortgage rates fell slightly in mid-April to mid-May. Variable rates, determined from the cost of money in the short term, thus follow the movements of the ECB rate. It is they who are most down.

But although these rates appear attractive at present, it hides a trap. As the ECB rate is historically low, the latter necessarily ascend to counter future inflation. From that time, variable rates rise quickly. This is also one of the mechanisms that led to the subprime crisis in the United States.

If you want to buy real estate right now to take advantage of lower interest rates, it is essential to avoid the variable rates. Fixed rates, they are more influenced by government bonds, which represent the best rate of return on money in the long term.

The rate of OAT to ten years (Treasury bonds) have collapsed, resulting in their falling interest rates of mortgages. But rhythmic movement is less than in April, with variations including this month between and-0.2% according to regions and times says Empruntis. According to the online broker, the interest rate in twenty years is equal, on average, to 4.35% while in October 2008, there are just over six months, the it was 5.4%.

Unlike variable rates, low fixed rates is a real opportunity for the investor or first-time buyer. They are so low that we can not wait to hopefully take advantage of further declines. Since property prices are trending down, we’re in a situation conducive to shopping.

As the crisis is feared the worst for sellers, margin trading is also particularly interesting. These three conditions are met, so there is a great opportunity to grasp, before the rates do go up. However, this increase is still far off. Read the rest of this entry »
