India finance minister announces steps to boost consumer demand

October 12, 2020

| finance

NEW DELHI, Oct 12 (Reuters) – India’s finance minister on Monday announced steps to stimulate consumer demand including advance payment of a part of the wages of federal government employees for spending during the festival season, part of efforts to bolster the pandemic-hit economy.

The government will also allow its employees to spend travel allowances that are an income-tax-exempt part of their salaries on goods and services, Nirmala Sitharaman told a news briefing.

“This is expected to create a consumer demand of about 280 billion rupees ($3.83 billion),” she said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, which imposed a tough lockdown to stem the spread of the coronavirus in March, is pushing ahead with a full opening to try to boost the economy ahead of the usually high-spending festival season.

Detroit Pistons owner and Platinum Equity Tom Gores stepped down from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Board of Trustees on Thursday night, following pressure from activists over his investment firm’s ownership of a prison telephone company.

In 2017, Platinum Equity acquired Securus — a company that operates private telephone systems in all 50 states for more than a million prisoners. Gores’ involvement in the prison telecom industry has been met with criticism by various activists, and came to a head in September.

One week after the club was shut out in their Wild Card Series loss to the Braves, longtime Cincinnati Reds executive Dick Williams has stepped down to pursue personal interests, the team announced. General manager Nick Krall will continue to serve in the same capacity, the club says. Williams reportedly informed the team he would step down after the season earlier this year.

“It is the right time for me to begin a transition, both professionally and personally. I have been affiliated with this organization in one way or another for most of my life, but I have been working here full-time for 15 years,” Williams said in a statement. “More than anything, I was so proud to represent this unbelievable city of ours. It was the honor of a lifetime to be a small part of assembling teams that went out and battled for these fans. My earliest memories

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back For Corporate Governance In Japan

October 6, 2020
| No Comments
| business

Capitalism is built on two fundamental concepts: trust, and when that fails, law.

Over the last three decades, foreign investors have increasingly placed a great deal of trust into the Japanese system of corporate governance; one could say an almost outsized trust considering the average annual return of the Nikkei, the lack of influence foreign shareholders often have on Japanese boards, and the sheer breadth of scandals involving corporate governance that have plagued “Japan Inc.”

(Source: Raw data obtained from Tokyo Stock Exchange)

However, that history of scandals was supposed to change course in 2014 when Shinzo Abe presented his “Third Arrow” of economic policy, an amalgamation of governance reforms and liberalization policies that resulted in changes like more outside directors and auditors on company boards or the adoption of the Corporate Governance Code.

For a brief moment, it seemed like it had worked.

The move was driven by a bounce in risk assets on news of U.S. President Trump being discharged from hospital after receiving COVID-19 treatment . But the appointment of Thailand’s new finance minister also mattered .

Following the sudden resignation of his predecessor on Sept 1, the selection of transport minister and

Students of energy policy have long been familiar with the cry from activists: Government shouldn’t pick the winners and losers.

But the environmental movement, albeit with good intentions, is quite often guilty of that. Collectively, the environmentalists have told the electric utility industry, with varying degrees of vehemence, “We want wind and solar.”

As an afterthought, some environmentalists have acknowledged that there are other options, most notably nuclear and improved storage, and there is the possibility of new technologies or huge improvements in the known ones.

These deserve a hearing in the great sea change now taking place in electricity production.

Overselling Alternatives

Electric utilities want to reduce and end carbon emissions. But right now, they’re struggling with the overselling

Euro zone factory recovery strengthened in Sept as Germany steps up

October 1, 2020

| business

LONDON, Oct 1 (Reuters) – The euro zone manufacturing recovery gathered pace last month, largely driven by strength in Germany, as the region’s factories saw a surge in demand after some coronavirus restrictions were relaxed, a survey showed.

As the pandemic raged across Europe governments imposed tough lockdowns, but as infection rates fell many of those controls were removed. However, a resurgence in cases has meant some restrictions have now been reimposed.

Still, IHS Markit’s final Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index climbed to 53.7 in September from August’s 51.7, in line with an earlier flash reading and its highest level since August 2018. Anything above 50 indicates growth.

An index measuring output, which feeds into a composite PMI due on Monday and seen as a good guide to economic health, bounced to 57.1 from 55.6, above the 56.8 flash estimate and its highest since February 2018.

The composite PMI also includes
