European Commission calls for budget adjustments in 2015 to four … – ElTiempo.com

European Commission calls for budget adjustments in 2015 to four … – ElTiempo.com

European economic policy begins to tell a slightly different story, but the substance remains the same.

The European Commission called on Friday to France, Italy , Spain and Belgium more and immediate adjustments in their budgets for 2015. They have until March to modify them.

The Spanish situation is less pressing, as it would be to tenths to meet the fiscal deficit requires the EU executive, but France, Italy and Belgium are risking fines that could reach 0.5 percent of GDP.

The demand shows that despite plans investment without much content and discourse more focused on reforms in settings, bet economic policy is the same. pressure to reduce public deficit below 3 percent

That in an economic context of stagnation (the Eurozone grew by 0.1 percent in the second quarter and 0.2 percent in the second, while the United States was 4.6 and 3.9 percent ), unemployment (the rate of the Eurozone leads hooked months to 11.5 percent) and risk of falling into deflation (closed in October to 0.3 percent per year after 0.4 percent in September and countries like Spain take five months seeing price falls).

Had strictly applied its rules, the European Commission announced Friday could have the same fines, but Brussels decided to give three months offending countries.

France (second largest economy euro) and Italy (third) have to reduce the fiscal deficit and implement reforms that will improve the competitiveness of their economies, the report of the European Commission.

That, translated from the Newspeak of economic departments of the EU executive, internal devaluation means reducing wages to cut business costs while reducing social policies to limit spending public.

The European Commissioner for Economic Affairs, the French Pierre Moscovici, announced at a press conference that the European Commission “decided in early March if necessary further action. Then we will have a clearer picture of how governments with their reform commitments have been fulfilled. And they do it is in the interest of the entire eurozone. “

France’s economy most at risk of suffering a fine from the European Commission because it takes years to be monitored by breaching its goals prosecutors.

Brussels granted to Paris in late 2013 two years later, until the end of 2015 to bring the deficit to 3 percent. But in the French budget presented in November at Community executive that rate reaches 4.5 percent and, according to forecasts from Brussels, would rise to 4.7 percent in 2016.

Italy, while maintaining the controlled deficit, has a 132.2 percent of public debt, the second eurozone after Greece.

In an interview Friday Belgian newspaper Le Soir, President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said he had discussed with French President François Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matthew Renzi. According Juncker, I would have insisted that wants a clear timetable for reforms and “not enough just promises.”

Austria, Portugal and Malta also received warnings, but the difference with Brussels is limited to these countries submitted budgets with a growth forecast that the European Commission considers exaggerated, so it warned that its fiscal deficit could skid.

Across the table appears Germany, which passed its budget in balance (0.0 percent fiscal deficit without triggering new debt) since 1969.

France receives more Spanish

The entry of Spanish immigrants, Portuguese and Italians in France doubled between 2009 and 2012 as a result of the crisis, and that has helped increase the weight of Europe, which accounted for 46 per cent of those settled in the country in that year.

Oil falls to the new strategy OPEC … – Expansión.com

Oil falls to the new strategy OPEC … – Expansión.com

Oil prices tumbled more than 8% yesterday to a four years after OPEC decided not to cut its production target despite the months that accumulate fall in prices have damaged the budgets of many cartel members.

The decision brought down the shares of energy companies, weakened currencies of oil exporters and clouded the outlook for US producers of unconventional oil (shale) . And all this against the backdrop of next crash 40% suffered by the oil price since mid-June. As the group announced that it would extend its current daily production ceiling of 30 million barrels traded on ICE Brent for January delivery fell $ 6.50 to $ 71.25 a barrel. He later recovered losses, trading at $ 72.80. Igor Sechin, the powerful chairman of Russian state oil company Rosneft, predicted that oil could drop below $ 60 in the first half of next year, said the company would be forced to postpone some costly projects. The Russian ruble, which has lost 27% of its value since mid-June, a record low of 48.7 against the dollar, while shares of European airlines and other large consumers rose in the case of easyJet 5.7%. The rebound of US production, which reached its highest level in three decades, has joined OPEC reserves well above the target and slowing oil demand in China and Europe and saturating the market. The decision not to modify the production target represents a significant change from the traditional policy of the cartel, trying to shore up prices through production cuts. This suggests that OPEC, and especially its largest producer and de facto leader, Saudi Arabia, expected to test the value of US shale operators and assess how they might impact of lower prices on output growth. “I would not call a price war, but it is a very aggressive test for US shale,” says Jamie Wenster an oil analyst at consultancy IHS Energy. “It’s a new strategy of OPEC.” However, it is also a test for multiple poorest members of OPEC. The low cost producers and large foreign exchange reserves as Saudi Arabia are willing to endure a period of cheap oil, while Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran need higher prices to balance their budgets. In the days before yesterday’s meeting, some members, especially Venezuela, have openly called for production cuts. Amrita Sen, oil analyst Aspects of Energy, said: “This is turning into a fight to see [who have] more money, survival of the fittest”. In his final statement, OPEC said it would maintain its current production levels in order to “restore market balance”, which is a clear indication that believes the cure for increasing oil saturation is a lower price. That message echoes previous statements Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi, who said before the meeting that he expected the market “were to stabilize itself” was made.

The opinion on the budget for 2015 of countries Eurozone is delayed to Friday

BRUSSELS, 25 (IRIN)

The European Commission adopted today its announced plan for public-private 300.000 million investment in three years, which aims to revive the European economy and avoid a third recession. Its president, Jean-Claude Juncker, presented the initiative to the plenary of the Parliament on Wednesday morning.

Since the beginning of the financial crisis, investment has fallen on average about 20% in the EU. The lack of investment is one of the reasons that explains, as European leaders, the weak recovery in Europe.

Juncker announced its plan of 300,000 million euros during his inaugural speech to the European Parliament the last July to win the support of the Socialists and decided to accelerate to the worsening economic situation in the eurozone. The money will be invested in projects of European interest that are mature in areas such as transport, energy and the digital economy. To identify them, and was created a working group which are represented capitals.

As for the financing of this plan, the President of the Commission has made clear that it should not generate more deficits and debt Member States, so most of the money will have to come from the private sector, has said Juncker. They also confirmed that the European Investment Bank (EIB) will participate and that the EU budget could be used as collateral.

To implement this investment of 300,000 million, Brussels will create a new European fund to be fed only 20,000 million euros. This capital will come from money already provided in the EU budget and EIB. In addition, national public banks will be invited, as the ICO in Spain, to make additional contributions, as reported by the French newspaper Les Echos’.

With this fund is to finance riskier projects currently assumes the EIB. To this end, private investors provide a guarantee on the first losses of funded projects.

However, Juncker plan has raised questions as before approval. Thus, the French Finance Minister Emmanuel Macron, said in an interview with the Financial Times that the 20,000 million euros capital may be insufficient to mobilize 300,000 million investment. To Macron, you would need at least 60,000 to 80,000 million capital.

The plan will be discussed in the coming weeks by the finance ministers of the 28 and is expected to be endorsed by the Heads of State and Government at the summit on 18 and 19 December.

The EU has already launched in 2012 an investment plan of 130,000 million euros proposed by French President François Hollande, but its effects on the economy were invalid.

EXTENSION OF FOUR MONTHS FOR FRANCE

The commissaires also discuss Tuesday the opinions on the budgets for 2015 of the eurozone countries, with France and Italy in the spotlight. In both countries, the EU executive intends to ask more cuts to meet deficit targets. However, the publication of opinions Brussels has been delayed until next Friday.

According to newspaper ‘Le Figaro’, the Commission has decided to postpone four months deciding whether to give two extra years Paris to correct its excessive deficit up to 2017 as requested by the Government of François Hollande, or if instead advances in the sanctioning process with a fine that could reach 0.2% of GDP (4,000 million euros) .

The goal is to give a last chance for France to accelerate the reforms promised to improve the competitiveness of its economy prior to the sanctions.

The European Commission estimates the impact of 'Juncker Fund' in a 3 … – HOME

President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, left, talks with Prime Minister Italian, Matteo Renzi / Christian Hartmann (AP)

The financial engineering plunged the world into serious trouble seven years ago, and Europe now tries to circumvent the crisis with another round of financial engineering, this time constructively to strengthen its sluggish recovery. Brussels yesterday confirmed that use of the European budget 16,000 million and 5,000 million from the European Investment Bank to cement Juncker Fund, an investment plan that hopes to raise money on the markets and the private sector to reach 315,000 million in energy and transport infrastructure in the digital agenda and through SMEs. The European Commission estimates the macroeconomic impact of that plan between 2.5% and 3.1% of GDP in the next three years, with the creation of 3.3 million jobs by 2017 if things go well.

“The plan has the maximum possible resources in view of political consensus and the legacy left by the crisis. And can work if the markets believe helps clarify the horizon, if investors see clear projects, and whenever the ECB also do your part to overcome the risk of a secular stagnation “explained one of the team members Juncker at the time that the pope Francisco gave his speech in Parliament. Francisco did not cite in Strasbourg the parable of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. But maybe that’s the right metaphor to describe the European plan to find the missing piece of the puzzle out of the crisis. Investment

Who puts money

The Commission will draw 16,000 million from the EU budget and the EIB will contribute 5,000 million: these 21,000 million of public money will serve as a lever to catalyze 315,000 million euros, which could be more if Member States join the bandwagon. That should be minimized the investment gap, which is 270,000 million below the pre-crisis levels. Public money will be used as collateral to issue debt in the markets and to attract private investment: the first will cover losses if the projects fail. “That allows you to take greater risks in strategic investments,” according to EU sources, targeting senior officials in Brussels have already met with leading European funds (AXA, Allianz, Deutsche Bank and company). The new money really comes down to 2.000 million. And to avoid any losses generate a hole, European institutions activate a provision (a cushion of capital for the event of red numbers) 8,000 million by 2020.



The multiplier

The financial accelerator is one of the great discoveries of this crisis. It worked when he broke the hurricane: the degree of leverage of financial institutions multiplied losses. Brussels seeks now to work in reverse: calculates a multiplier 1:15 and ensures that this estimate is “prudent”, “based on historical experience” in previous financial programs of the EU. But it will be different in each case. Investments will be selected by criteria of viability: no country shares or by sector and decision making avoid at all costs the political criteria to ensure maximum support of the private sector

Why this. Once you?

It was a similar plan in 2012 that did not work. The Commission believes that this time is different: first, the euro no longer going through an existential crisis; on the other, there are large numbers of private savings in the world that do not invest in Europe for fear that things go wrong. “The plan follows a clear philosophy: he wants to use the available liquidity and low interest rates environment. We want to stimulate investor appetite for the promoters of this type of infrastructure “, according to European sources. “Running with the first losses distrust of private sector contracts,” “but it would be naive to believe that a simple answer will solve all the problems.” “Europe needs more: this is a drop in the ocean” close

What else is needed

In a word:.? Grow. The ECB chief Mario Draghi calls for it a less tight fiscal policy reforms and investments, and promises to make efforts to monetary policy, probably with a purchase plan large-scale debt in 2015. Juncker puts their bit with the investment. France and Italy prepared reforms. Brussels given a slap on those countries by the serious risks of breaching its deficit targets but will not take drastic measures: fiscal policy will not harden. The investment plan also has tax side effects: Member States can add to the guarantees; “That does not count as deficit,” says the Commission.

The Bank of Spain terminating the "time of crisis" in the … – La Rioja

The Bank of Spain considers that the crisis is over … for companies. And is that the results presented yesterday to the CBSO (a study that collects data from 799 nonfinancial companies in the first three quarters of 2014) show improved activity and corporate profits of 62.4% through September this year. An increase favored by the increase in exports, the positive trend in sales inside thanks to the rise in consumption and contribution in stabilizing the labor costs of wage moderation. With these data, the general director of Studies of the supervisory body, José Luis Malo de Molina, do not hesitate to say that “the business sector has outpaced the time of crisis.” However, he also added that the crisis can not be terminated at the level of employment nor in regard to income per capita (8% lower in 2014 compared to 2008), neither of GDP (still 6% lower in 2008). In any case it is the first time that the Bank of Spain speaks of the end of the crisis, even partially.

And, as explained Malo de Molina, from a technical standpoint is “obvious” that the recession is over and the data show that recovery was consolidated during this year. “The improving trend is clearly anchored in 2014 and a pattern of recovery is established, an entry in value added growth companies and an increase in corporate profits,” he said. Malo de Molina explained that corporate profits to September grew significantly (62.4%) because they are coming from very low levels. But also occurred thanks to gains on sales of assets, ie, by extraordinary income. Thus, the activity rate rose from 3.1% back in 2013 to a positive sign of 0.2% in the first nine months of 2014. By sector, the generalized contractions recorded in 2012 and 2013 contrast with developments in all areas of activity in 2014, except in information and telecommunications.

However, this improvement in activity does not correspond to an increase in employment. And is that the templates were down 2.3% in 2013 and continued to do so until September 2014 by 0.5%. In this sense, Malo de Molina explained that this negative percentage is due to the overrepresentation of large companies in the survey, as these companies are still immersed in plans settings. “The trend of net job creation that is occurring in SMEs is not reflected,” said the CEO. However, the data presented in the CBSO show that in the first nine months of temporary employment grew by 3.2% and the fixed continued to decline by 1.2%.



The Most

as 50

Meanwhile, staff costs, which had contracted by 2.1% in 2013, slightly increased by 0, 4% until September 2014 due to reductions in staff and a modest increase in the salaries of employees. In this regard, the Director of Studies of the Bank of Spain stressed the usefulness of wage moderation to “gain competitiveness in companies’ and ‘create jobs’. In fact, he regretted that this measure will be held “too late” when the crisis had already hit many companies. However, he also expressed the view that as the economy improves there are “more likely to increase wages in sectors with higher productivity and dynamism” as long as it does not affect competitiveness. A statement that is gaining strength among experts and is a novelty in the discourse of the Bank of Spain, which had hitherto preferred position on this debate.

Less debt

In addition, the study also reflects a 1% reduction in financial expenses as a result of lower interest expense and reduced levels corporate debt, which offers a ‘clear’ downward trend, especially among the most leveraged firms.

Moreover, Malo de Molina recognized that the greatest risks to the Spanish economy from abroad. “The main concern is a scenario of economic weakness in the euro area linked to low inflation,” said the head of the Bank of Spain. In his view, this situation would hurt exports and threaten the expected growth of 2% of GDP by 2015. In this sense, justified the “exceptional” measures taken by the ECB to avoid that dreaded scenario materializes.

Juncker EIB plays to save his investment plan – Five Days

Juncker EIB plays to save his investment plan – Five Days

The European Commission chaired by Jean Claude Juncker takes only 23 days in office and already has that fajarse to defend its credibility, start LuxLeaks forward by filtration (tax evasions permitted by Juncker when he was Prime Minister of Luxembourg) and doubts about the ability of the organism to revive the European economy.

This week, Juncker attempt to regain the initiative knowing that much of its prestige depend on the announced plan to mobilize 300,000 million euros public investment between 2015 and 2017.

“We can not disappoint, because the Juncker Commission is going to judge by this investment plan,” a senior official of the new equipment is concerned with the questions raised the creation of a European Strategic Investment Fund, as claimed baptized at Juncker plan. The same source states that the European Investment Bank (EIB) will be the centerpiece of a plan that hopes to serve as a catalyst to increase the available resources.

However, the budgetary constraints of the EU and the deaf but intense conflict between Berlin and Paris on the reorientation of European economic policy limit the ability of Brussels to present an ambitious stimulus.

President of the Commission had piqued the possibility of using available resources the bailout fund (ESM), but Berlin flatly refused. Nor has prospered hypothesized to increase the capital of the EIB as was done in 2012.

With almost all avenues of blinded funding, Juncker is willing to risk their triple A that holds the EIB as a guarantee of quality credit to try to mobilize the resources promised. In principle, Brussels endorse the new risks with its own funds worth about 15,000 million euros, which, ideally, could attract an investment four or six times. But regardless of that financial alchemy, which is often met in Brussels seeks, above all, relax the strict criteria of the EIB in its management.

“can not be granted unless the EIB loans in 2013 [ 72,000 million] in 2009 [79.000 million], just before the sovereign debt crisis “was shocked Commission sources.

Brussels accuses the EIB to ensure more by their own credit standing which act as a counterweight in times of crisis. A crisis that has reduced by almost 500,000 million private investment available each year. There are those who attributed the lack of interest from the EIB to cover the gap to the presence of a German, Werner Hoyer, leading financial institution in the EU.

The EC wants to end the shield and played the EIB to finance more risky projects in energy, transport and broadband. For now, the criterion requiring only border infrastructure fund to include purely national be deleted.

Brussels also wants to relax the pre-project approval environmental assessments, but there is a risk that fiascos like Castor, gas warehouse built in Spain and you can not use repetition. And finally, we want to give priority to financing of small and medium enterprises. “To compensate for the favors Juncker made multinational when he was prime minister, ‘says an EU source critical of the plan.

If the schedule is met, the plan Juncker be adopted tomorrow Tuesday and will present the day before the European Parliament. The final terms will be decided presidents Government at the European summit on 18 and 19 December. And the fine print will depend largely on the willingness of Angela Merkel.

German Chancellor requires, as a counterpart to any stimulus to the full force of the Covenant of Estabilidad.Alemania want to call attention to Brussels Paris to complain expedited wage cuts, pension cuts and lower pressure in the corporate tax.

The compromise between the two parties aims to closer budgetary surveillance over France, which could implement this week, but without opening the entire route of sanctions. And, in return, a European investment plan very limited, based on a theoretical leverage in the previous four plans (two stimulus, one through the bailout fund and another for SMEs) never fulfilled. Typical minimum solution waiting for a miracle to avoid its third recession in six years

Pope Francis, ¿ally against austerity?

The European economy is so down that even the papal visit to Strasbourg acquires a symbolic recovery. On Tuesday, Francisco visit the headquarters of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. The last visit by a pontiff to the European institutions was in 1988. Only a year after the visit of John Paul II, the Berlin Wall, an event that some historians attribute in part to anti activism Cardinal Wojtyla was felled . Similarly, there are now those who trust in the presence of Cardinal Bergoglio in Strasbourg mark a turning point in the austerity policies that have contributed to the impoverishment of a part of Europe. “We hope that the Pope’s visit will serve as a reminder that the economy is at the service of citizens and not vice versa,” says Jorge Nuño, secretary general of Caritas Europa. Nuño presented last before the European Parliament a report that makes a devastating balance of managing the crisis in Europe week: “There is hardly any growth and, instead, the debt is huge and there are millions of unemployed,” summarizes a document that recalls there are already 122 million Europeans at risk of poverty. And the damage is not limited to the rescued countries or the euro area. Germany is the country where the poverty rate among people grows faster with work. In Poland, a million people receive food assistance from Caritas. In the UK, child poverty has skyrocketed. Data that Francis probably remember his native Argentina, but may not be expecting just a kilometer from Vatiano state.

“A fall in new orders for the first time in nearly a year and a half, although only marginal, suggesting that growth may continue to slow in December ,” says Williamson.

“Those responsible for monetary policy undoubtedly be disappointed to see that ads and measures of recent stimulus show no signs of reviving growth,” added the economist, who expected to increase the pressure on the ECB to take further steps to strengthen the economy.

On the other hand, the advance of the PMI survey France again showed a further contraction in November of the activity, although the indicator stood at 48.8 points from 48.3 in October, its highest level in two months.
