China and the US, not to mention that this new bank could be used for political purposes

The truth is that in recent years China You searched more prominence in the global economic scene and has now taken an important step in the creation of AIIb.

“China is openly proposing a group of global institutions own different characteristics to existing (the Bank World and International Monetary Fund), “said Enrique Dussel, director of the Center for China-Mexico Studies, Faculty of Economics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

For Ambía Oliver, director of the Department of Finance Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Santa Fe, the new international institution is the Chinese government’s response to a new global economic, political and financial.

In addition, the new international bank already has the support important both European governments (Germany, UK, France, Italy) and some Asian countries, most notably Japan and others already analyzed your income.

With 100,000 million dollars in the bag

First of all, this bank has an authorized 100,000 million capital, of which 50,000 million will be provided by the Chinese government.

On the risk of creating this bank involves a war between powers, Ambía replied: “It will be an additional option, the IMF and the WB, but do not know exactly if it will be an opponent or an opponent. The importance is that it would give those to be investors or bidders maybe a little more attractive yields that might already exist for those who will place their resources with this bank and who will apply for a loan; requirements may be able to sue the new bank can be more lax and that could be a major advantage or attribute value “.

The specialist emphasized that this is an attractive and interesting alternative option that will New to finance renewable energy projects and major infrastructure for different countries, not only in Asia.

In this regard, Dussel agreed stating that “institutions are not competing, but focus on parallel and different “markets.

Ambía added that countries have no choice to compare with the traditional, but eventually ruled that if the government of China, as already demonstrated many shares, begins to prioritize visions of a political nature on economic court decisions within the bank is politicized.

Threat to the United States

So far, the US has said it will not join the project and, according to experts, will doubt any data to show the Chinese government on the new financial institution, this country has faced several cases makeup of numbers.

The United States “what interests strengthen the institutions that have under their charge, which is the case of the World Bank and IMF, and go to AIIb as a threat, as a new competitor who would taking away market share or subtracting some predominance who He had in recent decades “‘he said.

On the questions surrounding the creation of the new bank, Ambía stated that the main point of criticism has to do with many of the data that the Chinese control Statistical court are disrupted or made-up by the Chinese Communist Party.

He reprized the case of the Internet portal Alibaba, which caused a furore last year with its IPO, which looked attractive, but when reports growth it showed “fizzled because they realized that several of the metrics that had the Chinese in the end were not credible or real data but were makeup,” he said.

Japan would add in June: FT

The ADB Investment and Infrastructure might have to Japan as a member since June, said Masato Kitera, ambassador from Japan in China, the Financial Times (FT) <. / p>

Kitera said that has the same confidence that Japanese business leaders, who despite “reacted late” now advocate the development bank, which they see great potential to support infrastructure development plans in the region.

The diplomat warned that this move would leave the United States as the only power that would be outside the AIIb. It would also be a “reversal of rhetoric” about the troubled relationship between Japan and China.

However, the strong presence that the Japanese country remains at Asian Development Bank, which has questioned the need for a new bank, has created tensions.

A couple of weeks ago, Taro Aso, Minister of Finance, was cautious about joining the AIIb, since Japan would have to weigh tensions with the United States.

Wolf: “Reject the Asian investment bank is foolish” – The Trade

Martin Wolf / chief economic commentator of the Financial Times

Britain has angered US choosing a founding member of an institution which some see as the Chinese equivalent of the World Bank. But this does not mean that the decision is wrong. On the contrary, it is sensible – but not without risks.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment (AIIb, for its acronym in English) will finance infrastructure in developing countries of Asia. AIIb have an initial capital of US $ 50 billion, which may increase to US $ 100 billion. Although China is the largest shareholder, many other Asian countries are entering. (The participation of non-Asian members is limited to 25 percent of the shares).

Follow Portfolio also Facebook

Other European countries such as Germany and Italy, have decided to submit his application; Australia, Japan and South Korea are still undecided.

The new institution is potentially valuable. The developing countries of Asia, as in many other places, have an urgent need for investment in the field of infrastructure. Private financing of risky projects and long-term is too expensive or unavailable. The resources of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB, for its acronym in English) are very deficient in relation to need.

Therefore, the fact that China want to invest a small portion of its $ 3.8 trillion in foreign exchange reserves in the AIIb is good news. That wants to do through multilateral institutions, in which his voice, though loud, be one among many, is even better. A multilateral institution will have a global staff, which would be less politicized if China provide the money directly.

USA. DECIDES NOT

For all these reasons, USA should also be part of AIIb. Maybe the White House responds that although you love to do, has no chance of getting approval of the current Congress. That may be true. But it’s not a valid argument against the participation of other countries.

However, USA has an argument, even disconcerting. Western countries, he argues, may have more influence on the institution to not be part of it. That says a US official, would be better than “incorporated at a time during which they can not rely on China not retain the powers of veto”. But who are ‘out’ will have no influence on the institution not need your money. The only hope of having influence is from the inside. True, it would have been better if the Europeans had agreed to the entry requirements. But it’s too late for that.

Jack Lew, secretary of the US Treasury has expressed concerns from the American perspective of the Asian bank not give the size in terms of the “highest global standards” regarding the governance or loans. As a former staff member of the World Bank, I smile. Lew would be interesting to study the role of the bank in financing Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, a gruesome example among many.

US. Nor can submit any credible arguments about competition with existing institutions. Yes, there is a risk of observing a race to the bottom in terms of standards. But there is also a possibility that unnecessary bureaucracy is removed. The real American concern is that China establish institutions that undermine their influence in the global economy. In this regard, I offer four answers.

First, the US, Europe and Japan hoard have a degree of influence in global financial institutions is increasingly out of line with his position in the world. Moreover, they have not handled such influence as they should have. And besides, they have insisted on the right to appoint leaders who have been far from excellent.

Second, five years have passed since the leading countries of the Group of 20 (G-20) agreed new quotas that would moderate his enormous influence in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The world is waiting for the US Congress to ratify the changes. This is an abdication of responsibility.

 Thirdly, the world economy would benefit from increased flows of long-term capital to developing countries.

It also benefit from a fund from which larger sure the IMF can provide prone countries “sudden stops” in capital flows. Foreign exchange reserves have increased to nearly US $ 12 billion, from less than US $ 2 billion at the beginning of the millennium, dwarfing IMF resources of less than US $ 1 trillion. This indicates the magnitude of the deficit. The capital from China could put the world in the right direction. That would be an excellent achievement.

Lastly, USA criticizes the UK for its “constant accommodation” of the emerging superpower. But the alternative accommodation is conflict. Economic growth in China is beneficial and inevitable. What is needed, therefore, is an ideal accommodation. When China offers proposals that make sense for their country and for the world, participating is more sensible to criticize from the outside. A former US official once asked China to be a “responsible citizen”. With the creation of AIIb, this is precisely what you are doing.

Therefore, the focus of the UK and other European allies is to be applauded. Moreover, the decision of the UK joining the AIIb could even represent a beneficial shock to US

Yes, it is desirable that countries with similar interests and values, such as Britain and the US , May make statements and act in unison. And yes, the UK is risking follow a different from its main international partner address. But support should not be subservient. That has proven not to be beneficial to anyone.

On the other hand, if the choice of Britain made clear to lawmakers US leadership is not a right but an honor that has to be earned, the decision could prove beneficial. In the years after World War II, in a moment of lucidity, USA created the institutions of the modern world. But the world has changed.

new institutions are needed. The world must accommodate growth of new powers. It will not stop just because the US can no longer participate. If the results are not like US, you can only blame yourself.

The Euribor, calculated by the European Banking Federation with the data of the main entities of the euro area, actually shows the price of money to a year in the European interbank market, but it is the principal reference variable rate mortgage.

The evolution of the indicator depends on the ups and downs of types approved by the European Central Bank (ECB), which at its meeting last September reduced interest rates to record low of 0.05% something that has not changed since.

You have to go back to July 2008 to find the record high of Euribor, which was 5.393%, and from that moment took a downward trajectory that stopped in 2010 and resumed in mid-2011

Portfolio / The objective of the change, according to the European Commission is allowing producers to meet growing global demand for dairy products and compete against third countries, particularly in Asian markets, where it is estimated that over consumption will increase in the coming years.

For European producers, represented by the Committee of Agricultural Organisations and Community Cooperatives ( Copa-Cogeca), in this new phase the EU should provide them the tools to respond to price volatility tools.

“Although the European regulatory framework already includes market measures that can help protect producers against volatility, such as public intervention and private storage, these are no longer a real safety net (…) in times of great market imbalances, “the secretary general of Copa-Cogeca, Pekka said in a statement Pesonen.

The transition to the new regime, which no catches producers by surprise as it was agreed at European level in 2003, will require the sector to adapt to new circumstances and a change of mentality.

“That was a precious commodity because it is required to produce, that so much effort and investment has cost us, as of March 31 is not worth anything, which is paradoxical and dilapidated, since the Money invested in share has not allowed to do other things, “says a report Livestock responsible for the agricultural organization UPA, Román Santalla.

Facing fears of farmers, Agriculture Commissioner stresses that “the circumstances are very different now to 1984″, when he began the quota system after an interventional system helps producers, especially in the late ’70s and early’ 80, shot milk surpluses and government spending.

“We are now competitive market prices globally, interventionism is at a level that discourages production surpluses and can export 11 % of our milk production without any subsidies, “said Hogan.

The initial objective of quotas, introduced in 1984, was to limit government spending and control production, thus stabilizing prices and producer incomes.

It also helped maintain activity in the less competitive regions, they now feel particularly threatened with the new regime, although it provides specific support measures, for example for producers in areas mountainous and difficult to access.

China’s efforts to help create the Asian Infrastructure Investment (EBIT) symbolize the new financial muscle of the region and China itself, a Spanish expert said today <. / p>

The EBIT is a useful complement the global financial order tool because it provides mechanisms for the transfer of the global weight of the economies of the region to other areas, said Xulio Ríos, director of the Observatory of Chinese Politics.

The bank is a great opportunity for European companies, which helps explain why the governments of Switzerland, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Luxembourg withstood initial US pressure to boycott the initiative and instead expressed their willingness to be members of the bank, according to Rivers.

The establishment of EBIT could help reduce US influence in Asia, Rios said adding that the firm control of United States at the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank will not be enough to curb China.

Rivers believes that voting systems in some international financial organizations have become obsolete and added that the reforms remain viable because of opposition from the United States.

The next step aimed at further liberalization of the yuan and its exchange rate, according to the Spanish expert.

The EBIT represents a major challenge to the presence of Japan and the US in the region, as well as an imminent institutional renewal internationally.

The bank may become an important geostrategic tool, linked to other projects such as the development initiatives of the Economic Belt of the Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road of XXI Century, Rivers said, adding that such projects will decide the rise of new economic realities that do not depend on the West said.

HSBC warning of the risk of political fragmentation in Spain by … – Yahoo Finance Spain

The bank believes that the Spanish general election is the most important event in late 2015 in the euro area

MADRID, 29 (EUROPA PRESS)

The British bank HSBC has warned of the risks they may pose elevated parliamentary fragmentation arising in the next general elections in Spain due to the rise of “radical left” party we and the “reformist” Citizens.

In its quarterly report on the European economy, the company emphasizes that political uncertainty will be the focus in Spain in 2015, beginning with the Catalan elections of September 27 and concluding with the broad end of the year in which the surveys provide almost a tie between PP, PSOE, Citizen and able.

“This uncertainty could cause a cooling of momentum in consumption and lead to a slowdown in capital inflows from abroad and direct investment, which can be a source of concern given the high external debt of Spain “alert.

The company believes that the general elections in Spain the year end are” the most important event Eurozone “in late 2015, as it is increasingly likely that an increasingly fragmented electorate, the two major traditional parties do not form the next government.

In this sense, stresses that the main new party emerged in Spain, we, has left him a new competitor in Citizens. “High unemployment, especially among young people, and greater inequality are factors contributing to the popularity of the new parties, together with the corruption in the political system,” he added.

So says it is no surprise that new parties, especially we, have gained the support of many young people who vote for the first time or those who abstained in previous elections.

For Citizens, considered which is a less radical party led training Pablo Iglesias and stresses that it has achieved the support of the electorate in the center and, unlike Can, mainly at the expense of the Popular Party.

WITHOUT PARLIAMENTARY MAJORITY.

“Whatever the outcome of the elections, the increasing fragmentation of the electorate increases the likelihood that any party may have a majority in a new parliament,” remarks the British bank.

In his opinion, this would make it difficult for any party to address some of the most important problems facing Spain, and the need to rebalance its economy towards a model of export-led growth, reduce deficits and lower still high long-term unemployment.

As for Catalonia, notes that surveys indicate that CiU and ERC will not achieve an absolute majority in the elections of September, but uncertainty still remains high and the parties to vote for independence could force the central government to take this issue more seriously.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES.

On the other hand, HSBC remember that Spain is one of the countries where inequality has increased during the crisis and the government of Mariano Rajoy has announced measures to address this problem, including tax exemptions.

However, he adds that the lack of fiscal space limits the capacity for action of the Executive, as despite the support of revenues increased growth, Spain will default the deficit targets. “This means that after the elections the new government will have to introduce more measures to cut the deficit,” he added.

Another key challenges for the Spanish economy is to maintain the downward trend in unemployment, since there are more than three million long-term unemployed and their reduction will be more difficult than before the crisis, when it was supported by the construction and public employment.

CONFIRMS FORECASTS.

The British company has remained unchanged growth forecasts made in December, as estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Spain Product will increase by 2.1% this year, then slowed to 1, 8% in 2016.

In this regard, stressed that 2015 saw a “strong start” in line with the performance of the economy in the fourth quarter of 2014. In particular, it highlights the rise in retail sales and signs of recovery in output.

HSBC expected consumption growth to remain strong while inflation remains in negative territory and unemployment continues to fall. Also, will also contribute to the availability of credit growth and return on investment, including in the residential sector, where prices seem to have bottomed out.

However, stresses that the weak industrial production remains a source of concern, since good figure for January was mainly due to energy production by the weather. In addition, the weak global demand will continue to weigh on exports, which will be supported by a weaker euro.

In this context, expects growth to slow in 2016 to see limited potential upside by structural factors : a probable stabilization of savings ratios, high structural unemployment and foreign debt. Furthermore, the need for additional fiscal adjustments also will weigh the economy next year
