			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Statistics show every day a little more clearly the growing problem of financing faced by banks in the euro area. The phenomenon is not confined to institutions based in the peripheral countries, but won the heart of Europe, reflecting the closer and closer bond between the state debt crisis and the situation of the banking system. </p>
<p> To date, the year 2011, European banks had to repay 888 billion dollars to creditors (all types of bonds combined), but they could borrow 744 billion dollars over the period, reveal Figures released by the firm Dealogic. A gap of nearly $ 150 billion that masks a number of phenomena. On the one hand, banks that can accumulate &quot;cash <a href="http://pay-day-loans-i.com">payday loans direct lenders</a><!-- . -->.&quot;On the other, those, more numerous, which are structurally borrowers must find ways to bridge the gap between what they need and what they can take to prevent the liquidity crisis, that is, ie the default. </p>
<p> The first solution is the European Central Bank, which opened more widely its counters. Heavily used by institutions Greek, Irish and Portuguese, these facilities are also becoming critical to institutions whose country of origin still have access to markets. Spanish banks borrowed 86.2 billion euros at the ECB at the end of October (7 billion more than at the end of September).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Company margins have never been so high, companies are full of cash, they were debt-free &#8230; and yet their share price despair managers. Some values, such as Peugeot, Air France and Lafarge are at their lowest for 20 years. &quot;Since 1990, the profits of European companies have more than doubled, while the PE (valuations on the stock exchange), declined. But will there for years or decades to return to normalcy &quot;asks Jacques Burlot, manager&quot; action &quot;Tocqueville Finance. The management company is nevertheless optimistic about business conditions. &quot;Their margins may decline, but not collapse.There are of course cycles, but historically each drop, the level reached is higher than the previous &quot;says Nelly Davies, also manager at Tocqueville, which lists all the supporting factors that benefit companies: inflation remains low, interest rates are at their lowest, the cost can be further reduced through outsourcing, wage inflation is zero and productivity gains have not been completed <a href="http://us-paydayloans.com">payday loans</a><!-- . -->. However, managers are careful Tocqueville predicted a bright future for investors. &quot;Trying to predict the future is a waste of time. Remember Goldman Sachs, which in March 2008 predicted oil at $ 200 a barrel at the end of the year. He had fallen to 50 dollars &quot;they ironically. What to do? Forget the computer screens, and visit the companies consider their strategy, the quality of their management.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A new situation is emerging in the financing of aircraft purchased by the airlines. This is a consequence of the crisis of public debt in Europe, the requirements of the new banking regulations, known as &quot;Basel 3&quot; and the growing importance of Asia in the economy of air transport. The challenge for French banks? Maintain their global leadership in a profession where they excel with a market share of 31%. </p>
<p> For several months, the pressure rises. French banks are caught between access to dollar funding more difficult and more expensive as well as compliance with the new banking criteria, which leads them to reduce the size of their balance sheets by arbitrating between their trades. Over those that involve the preservation of long-term assets in dollars, typically aircraft.Because the dollar is the currency of reference in aeronautics. </p>
<p> The dollar, currency of
<p> Societe Generale announced in mid-October cut its financing by air. BNP Paribas would seek to exchange air assets against dollar assets denominated in other currencies. Markets are concerned. What would the impact of a withdrawal, even partial, of Airbus, of which 17% of deliveries were financed by French banks in the last 18 months? Indeed, everything is played on delivery. This is when the company spends between 65 and 70% of the price of the aircraft ordered several years ago and for which a timetable has been set following the first installment (5 to 10%) paid at the signing the contract.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The debt crisis that shook the euro area, the French deep mine. This is for 79% of them, the crisis &quot;the worst&quot; in recent years, according to a poll Ifop for the Journal du Dimanche. Faced with the economic and social situation of France, 53% of respondents said they were &quot;rebels,&quot; while 29% are &quot;resigned.&quot; A resignation which probably explains why the movement of &quot;outraged&quot; that began in Spain last spring and has spread across Europe and to the United States, failed to France. </p>
<p> The French are indeed very pessimistic. Only 4% of them believe in a crisis within the next six months. Nearly a majority (46%), however, do not expect improvement until 2014. &quot;This survey highlights the malaise of the French,&quot; said Frederic Dabi, director of the division of opinion Ifop.&quot;For them, this is a serious crisis which they do not see the exit and on which policies can not be weighed.&quot; However, they are preparing for 57% of the &quot;painful and difficult measures.&quot; They are also willing to make sacrifices, including cutting costs in their &quot;comfort&quot; and in their holiday budget, the study said. </p>
<p> When asked about the causes of the crisis, 52% of French people point the finger at the role of financial markets. Far behind, the government (26%), banks (15%), EU (10%), the French as a whole (6%), emerging (5%) and businesses (1%) are also considered partially responsible for the current crisis. &quot;Paradoxically, while their commitment to the EU is often tenuous, the French for more Europe,&quot; Frederic Dabi analysis.As proof, they say they support the creation of a European Ministry of Economy. </p>
<p> Theme of the presidential election
<p> As European leaders gather in Brussels on Sunday for a coordinated response to the crisis, the French have already an idea of ​​what the state could do 63% of them believe the government should take an interest in banks, either by becoming the majority shareholder of the establishment or nationalization. Despite their concern, 23% of respondents would prefer the state to intervene simply abstain. Maybe they think that the French economy can only suffer, as the government prepares to revise downwards its growth forecast for 2012 still set at 1.75%.&quot;Part of the public continues to believe that when dealing with Greece, it does not deal with French,&quot; says Pierre Giacometti, advisor opinion of the President of the Republic, in the columns of world. </p>
<p> Yet a few months before the presidential election, the crisis in the euro area will be the theme of the campaign. Nicolas Sarkozy will speak on the subject on television next Thursday, the day after the second EU summit is to say, once firm decisions have been taken. A key event with the French, while the popularity of the president is at half mast. &quot;Even if the credits of some courage, nothing will be counted as long as there is a lack of visibility on the crisis,&quot; Pierre Giacometti analysis in Le Monde.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 29.9 billion euros. This is the minimum cost per year, calculated by the Institute of the company, the sixteen main proposals of the socialist program and François Hollande for the presidency in 2012. </p>
<p> Measures François Hollande
<p> The Institute has calculated the company eight measures developed by the Socialist candidate in the primary. First, the creation of 12,000 teaching positions per year, or 60,000 on the five-year term. This would cost 360 million euros per year, cumulative $ 1.8 billion in 2017. &quot;These new posts create an implicit debt to the State, which undertakes to pay the pensions of these agents when they reach retirement age,&quot; says the Institute. The rating is saltier contracts for generation, exempting charges for three years as a young recruit companies while maintaining a senior job.This measure, the five-year cumulative, burden on public finances from 30.5 to 33 billion. </p>
<p> Another strong measure: the extension of the RSA under 25 years of activity without preconditions. The Enterprise Institute estimates that 120,000 to 200,000 young people could be affected, which would represent an annual cost of 528 to 876,000,000. With &quot;a serious risk of imprisonment in a youth inactivity trap and a significant risk of fraud&quot;, the RSA representative &quot;70% of the money diverted to family allowance.&quot; The Institute also estimated the cost of the massive development of renewable energy and reducing from 75 to 50% of the nuclear power generation by 2025. The bill? 10.9 billion a year.If this effort can reduce French imports of energy, it will be &quot;on the other hand a negative effect on the purchasing power of households, through the rising cost of energy bills,&quot; warns the IDE. </p>
<p> The measures of the Socialist Party
<p> Winner of the primary, Francois Hollande has not yet specified what action the program he intended to resume the PS <a href="http://payday-loans-nofax.com">paperless payday loans</a><!-- . -->. The Institute has calculated the company in the main. The establishment of a public early childhood, a key measure of the project would cost between 4.5 and 5 billion per year. Half the budget of the justice! The bulk of the bill would come from the creation of 360,000 childcare places (3.8 billion per year &#8230; just by operating costs), welcoming children from 2 years to kindergarten cost him, by 720 million year.Much controversy as the assistant accused of favoring the creation of a study allowance for trainees is paradoxically less expensive. The Institute&#39;s $ 1.3 billion per year. The reason? This new allowance would replace other aid, and especially young people concerned only with limited resources. The bill would particularly high, however (9.6 billion per year), if the allowance was extended to all students, warns the Institute. </p>
<p> In a more traditional vein, the PS promotes the appreciation of the disabled adult allowance (AAH) and better care for older people, through the personal autonomy allowance (APA).According to the Institute, which takes the hypothesis of a revaluation of these allowances by 20% over five years, the AAH would cost $ 1.7 to $ 1.9 billion a year more, and the APA, 1, 5-2100000000. </p>
<p> Cell quantification of presidential projects, implemented by the Institute of the company, will now address the evaluation of the revenue side of the PS program. The question is whether Francois Hollande planned 30 billion of resources to balance its balance sheet. Last outstanding issue: the institute did not look back on the pension reform, suggested by the PS but never clearly put on the table by François Hollande. If this were the case, the encryption would rise much faster. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Three million voters to the polls Thursday. This is not the third round of the socialist primary elections but in the professional civil service and state hospital. This election is both new and crucial for trade unions. Unpublished, so far as officials voted on different dates, department by department. Under agreements signed in 2008 Bercy between the government and six of the eight federations officials, this group deadlines must solemnize the event and end a kind of permanent election administration </p>
<p> He still suffers to this first edition of exceptions.The officers decentralized government (prefectures) just voted in 2010 after the reorganization of their services; territorial officials will be &quot;aligned&quot; in 2014, which will match the designation of their representatives with election of municipal councils, general and regional officials finally France Telecom will vote Nov. 22 &#8230; as well as those of the Department of Justice, after a last minute postponement of the delivery of ballots and professions of faith having made the most complete mess. Also new: the hundreds of thousands of contractors have the right to participate. Finally, the electronic vote is for the million polio Education. </p>
<p> Crucial deadline
<p> If the vote is also crucial is that it will not only unions to gauge.Now, only those organizations that received the most votes will negotiate and sign agreements, both local (with the hospital director, the prefect &#8230;) and national (with &quot;their&quot; or the Minister of Public Service for subjects common to all directors). In that game, the CFTC or the CFE-CGC will play their survival in many instances of 5700 to renew <a href="http://payday-loans-application.com">check cash advance</a><!-- . -->. The &quot;big&quot; unions will also receive a premium on how they are granted. They are mostly human, that is to say agents paid by the state or the hospital, but devoting all or part of their time to unionism (our editions of September 29). </p>
<p> Difficult to anticipate the results.Of Education in Ecology, Interior Economy, workers speak out more on issues and candidates in their own department or at their service, as a national discourse &#8211; discourse on which organizations found it difficult to differentiate. Certainly, FP campaigned on the &quot;case of the public service&quot;, the CFDT has focused on the working conditions of workers, Bernard Thibault has been calling for more political &quot;use the ballot CGT&quot; to &quot;deliver signs to the government. &quot; But these are all ways to approach the same themes: policy review (RGPP), elimination of 150,000 jobs during the five-year term in the state civil service, late general wage increases, stricter rules on pensions 2010. Many reasons for discontent that should benefit most unions &#39;hard&#39;, as Solidarity, the CGT and the FSU.</p>
<p> But the mobilization failed when the pension reform, and made to flop back against the rigors. The previous elections were successful in the CFDT and UNSA, reformists, who could also benefit from the arrival of the contract in the electorate. And some of the most disgruntled employees could wait for the presidential and legislative elections in 2012 to settle their accounts. Where the other unknown: participation, far closer than two-thirds, will continue she? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This incident linked to the nuclear industry had caused a stir in the summer of 2008. On the night of July 7 to 8, at least 20,000 liters of effluent containing uranium were accidentally released into the environment by the company Socatri, a subsidiary of Areva, which deals with radioactive waste on the site of Tricastin in Bollene in the Vaucluse. </p>
<p> Rivers and ground water surrounding the uranium had been contaminated at levels above the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO).The court believes, however, that no &quot;adverse effects on health&quot; or &quot;no damage to the fauna and flora&quot; could not be found. </p>
<p> Acquitted at trial in October 2010 of the offense of &quot;water pollution that caused an adverse effect on health or damage to flora or fauna,&quot; the Socatri was convicted Friday by the Court of Appeal of Nîmes , the offense of &quot;discharge of toxic substances into groundwater causing a significant change in the normal operation of water supply <a href="http://guaranted-unsecured-personal-loans.com">guaranteed high risk personal loans</a><!-- . -->.&quot; Areva&#39;s subsidiary was fined 300,000 euros, to pay 20,000 euros in damages to each of the plaintiffs associations (including Greenpeace and the Nuclear Exit) and 10,000 euros in moral damages to a dozen residents. Of these, several had been forbidden to consume the water they were drawing ground water from their property.Some seeking compensation following the decline in the value of their homes due to the incident. </p>
<p> The Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), which classified the incident at 1 on the INES scale has seven who had criticized the Socatri him failing initially to provide information on pollution the environment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> &quot;Il Cavaliere&quot; did not like to see the note in his country degraded by Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s. &quot;The ratings of Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s seem more driven by stories in the newspapers as the reality and they seem to have been negatively influenced by political considerations,&quot; said Silvio Berlusconi in a statement. The Italian prime minister said that the country has already approved measures to balance its budget in 2013 and Italy in adopting new ones to stimulate growth. The austerity plan of 54.2 billion euros adopted on September 14 does not seem to have convinced the rating agency which doubted the credibility of the government and the Italian president. </p>
<p> Without having published a press release responding directly to the attack of the Italian President, Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s is fighting back.&quot;The sovereign ratings by S &amp; P ratings are apolitical, based on the evolution of&quot; credit risk, provided to investors, &quot;says one in the U <a href="http://personal-loan-quick.com">easy to get unsecured personal loans</a><!-- . -->.S. rating agency. </p>
<p> Moody&#39;s and soon &#8230;
<p> S &amp; P also ensures that its assessment is based on &quot;independent analysis and detailed economic and fiscal outlook in Italy and on assumptions about the expected evolution of the debt.&quot;&quot;The ratings indicate how the various policy initiatives may impact on the financial reliability and to hear any suggestions on policies that a government should or should not continue,&quot; said the rating agency. </p>
<p> Entangled in new revelations about his private life, Silvio Berlusconi is aware that the decision of S &amp; P is a blow to the country, as Moody&#39;s may degrade the note of Italy in October that had never been lowered since the beginning of the debt crisis. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The subject is no longer taboo. According to information of the German weekly Der Spiegel revealed this Sunday, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble would seriously consider bankruptcy of Athens, which could result in a departure from the country of the euro. While this information was then &quot;denied by Germany,&quot; according to the Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos, it comes as markets are increasingly skeptical about a rescue of Greece, whose economy continues to worse. To this must be added the recent publications of economists, who now publish the &quot;fictions&quot; about the abandonment of the euro in Athens. </p>
<p> Natixis economist Patrick Artus has decrypted this scenario in an analysis published Monday.Taking into account the levels of debt, public deficits and outside Greece, he felt that Athens should depreciate its currency by 55% to balance its accounts. For now, the country will wipe a deep recession &quot;for the next 18 months.&quot; It is characterized by a drop in growth and &quot;a sharp decline in purchasing power&quot; due to inflation, a consequence of the devaluation (&quot;with a surge in import prices by about 30%&quot; ) and monetization of public debt as the deficit persists. Similarly, the bank UBS in a note published evoked early September at a cost of 9,500 to 11,500 euros per person the first year of a release of the European currency. </p>
<p> A scenario &quot;imaginable&quot; and &quot;sustainable&quot;
<p> According to Patrick Artus, this bad patch should then be completed at the end of &quot;two or three years,&quot; with a resumption of growth.But for Europe, the bill would be salty, since leaving the euro, Greece should convert its debt in its new currency. Which would cost banks and institutional investors in the euro area some 166 billion euros, according to the devaluation held by Natixis. </p>
<p> An output of the euro remains of Athens &quot;imaginable&quot; and &quot;sustainable&quot;, argues Patrick Artus. However, &quot;[he] would not attempt the coup,&quot; he insists, for fear that the markets get the idea that other countries in difficulty, in turn, leave the single currency. With online focus, Italy and Spain (under perfusion of the ECB through a program to purchase obligation), the output of the euro is, this time, &quot;not at all imaginable, &quot;given the size of their economies. </p>
<p> Public expenditure or fiscal austerity?
<p> For the economist, only a policy of renewed growth in Greece would head out of the water.&quot;We must stop this hard to Athens on the reduction of the deficit, he loses his temper. We are killing the country. Instead of giving him three years to reduce its deficit, which gives him six, and that helps companies to find the path of growth and competitiveness. &quot; </p>
<p> A view shared by economist Nouriel Roubini, calling to reactivate the lever of public spending on pain of falling into a &quot;Great Depression&quot;. Tance but Jürgen Stark, the former chief economist of the ECB, for whom &quot;a fiscal stimulus would only increase the level of debt and would therefore only increase those risks further.&quot; Whatever decision the euro area, it will in all cases act quickly to prevent the &quot;taboo&quot; from turning into disasters scenarios.</p>
