			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> After unanimously among the members of the Greek government, the proposed referendum on the euro in Greece opponents first meeting among the ministers of the country. While the Greek Prime Minister held talks last night with his European counterparts to define the contours of the proposed referendum, two ministers expressed their opposition this morning at the initiative of head of state. </p>
<p> Early this morning, the Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos was the first raised his voice in that. While the prime minister suggested yesterday that the referendum will focus on &quot;whether the Greeks or not to stay in the euro area,&quot; Evangelos Venizelos has swept the issue with the back of the hand. In the eyes of the man who played the head of the party George Papandreou in 2007, &quot;the place of the Greek people in the euro is a historic achievement of the people that can not be questioned.This can not depend on a referendum, &quot;he said in a statement. The minister stressed the importance of having the new tranche of aid &quot;without delay&quot;. In fact, under the sixth tranche will not be released until the political situation has not been clarified. </p>
<p> The sling number two government was quick to be followed by the Greek Minister of Development, Michalis Chryssohoïdis. It called for a European financial rescue of Greece was quickly ratified by parliament, in fact opposed to the proposed referendum on Prime Minister said on public television Net. &quot;This release is the ratification by Parliament of the Agreement (European) Greece comes out of the impasse,&quot; said Michalis Chryssohoïdis as television.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Creditor banks in Greece will have to accept losses &quot;substantial&quot; in the new bailout of the country, warned Saturday that the European Ministers of Finance. Last night, the central bankers of the euro zone had &quot;agreed to say that we had to have a substantial increase in the contribution of banks&quot; in the form of a depreciation of their claims, said the leader of European finance ministers, Jean-Claude Juncker. </p>
<p> • Discount of up to 60% of the Greek debt
<p> According to diplomatic sources, the ministers agreed to effectively negotiate with the banks at a discount of &quot;at least 50%&quot; against a target of 21% decided on July 21 with the banking sector. They thus de facto endorsed the conclusions of an expert report which was presented by the troika of donor funds in Greece (EU, ECB and IMF).The paper believes that a discount of 50 or 60% hope to stabilize Greece without having to increase in the amount of gigantic international loans that have already been promised. </p>
<p> A &quot;discount&quot; is the term used in relation to the financial depreciation of the value of loans taken by creditors in this case private banks and investment funds that hold government debt. A discount of 50% borne by the private sector, the second program of financial support pledged July 21 to Greece, however, should be slightly revised upwards with government loans (Europe and IMF) to 114 billion euros, against 109 billion euros.To maintain the envelope of 109 billion euros unchanged, it would bring the discount to 60%, according to calculations by experts. </p>
<p> • Recapitalization of banks to the tune of 108 billion euros
<p> The question is whether the banks that have so far dragged its feet to give the pot, will accept a negotiated settlement does not pass through a default of Greece. In return for the effort required on the Greek claims, there are plans to recapitalize banks in Europe. Following a meeting of EU finance ministers, this Saturday, in preparation for the summit Sunday, no agreement had been finalized on this point, due to the persistence of disputes.</p>
<p> &quot;We have made some progress on the banks&quot; and &quot;we have laid the groundwork for an agreement&quot; which will still be subject to &quot;discussions between heads of state&quot; and called for European governments to meet in summit Sunday said Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg. Countries of the European Union are considering a recapitalization of its banks to the tune of 107 or 108 billion euros to help them cope with the crisis, has also said a source familiar with the matter. </p>
<p> But according to European diplomats, &quot;there is no agreement on the recapitalization, it gets stuck a little.&quot; According to one of these diplomatic sources, &quot;Spain insists on having a comprehensive, not only on the recapitalization of banks but also on strengthening the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF).&quot; On the other hand, &quot;the ministers are trying to agree on the minimum capital.&quot;The European Banking Authority (EBA) has proposed that banks reach a level of capital of 9% by mid-2012. A diplomat acknowledged that some countries in the viewfinder of the markets, like Italy, Spain or Portugal, feared that the recapitalization will further undermine public finances. </p>
<p> • The Fund will not support a bank
<p> Moreover, the French proposal to grant a banking license to the Fund support the euro area (EFSF) so he can refinance with the European Central Bank &quot;is no longer on the table,&quot; said Minister Dutch Finance Jan Kees de Jager. Only two options are being discussed to increase the firepower of the device, he told reporters Saturday.These two tracks on the agenda now that the mechanism acts as a partial insurance of the public debt of countries in difficulty or higher participation of the IMF to the device, according to a German government source. But there is &quot;significant differences between countries&quot; on the issue, said Jan Kees de Jager. </p>
<p> How to leverage the capacity of the EFSF was the main sticking point between Berlin and Paris at the approach of the EU summit. France, worried about its budget deficit and are &quot;triple AAA&quot; prefer tap into the existing European funds, starting with the ECB. Germany, also sensitive to the separation of powers as inflation risks, refuses anything resembling a crisis by printing money in Europe.France was not only to advocate the involvement of the ECB, arguing that this system worked very well in the United States or Great Britain. She was supported by Spain, Italy or Belgium. </p>
<p> The European Relief Fund currently has a lending capacity of 440 billion euros, part of which is already committed for Ireland and Portugal. This envelope is considered insufficient to prevent contagion of the debt crisis in countries as large as Italy and Spain, increasingly in the firing line of credit rating agencies.European countries negotiate so hard for weeks on the best way, via a &quot;leverage&quot; to multiply by up to five response capacity of the Fund&#39;s financial debt of fragile countries. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The IMF Christine Lagarde would it become anti-globalization? Long, the subject is taboo: that globalization does not please everyone, it tends to increase inequality in rich countries, everyone sensed. But it was a lesser evil. Cons weighed in the balance somewhat, compared to the prowess of China, India or Brazil and the hundreds of millions of people out of poverty through free trade. &quot;Globalization&quot; as the Anglo-Americans, was an apotheosis for the IMF. Its original mission, and still relevant, is to eliminate protectionism and the specter of the Depression of the 1930s. Light of Sirius, all was well in the brave new world. </p>
<p> This good report is no longer appropriate. The IMF recognizes that since the &quot;Great Recession&quot; of 2008-2009, more than 200 million people are unemployed worldwide. A record.And three-quarters of the 30 million unemployed appeared in the &quot;advanced&quot; countries. However, the phenomenon looks durable. </p>
<p> The World Economic Outlook, which forecasts 2011-2012 were published last week, a special chapter devoted to &quot;labor markets in advanced economies&quot; and their structural changes. That is to take stock of two decades of globalization flawless. &quot;Technological change and trade are as old as civilization,&quot; warns the Fund. But this time it&#39;s different. Strange coincidence, the revolution in information technology broke out when China, India and the countries of the former Soviet empire have joined the global market, which they were previously excluded.Overnight, shortly after 1990, the global employment has almost doubled to $ 3 billion. </p>
<p> The new communication technologies, including container transport, helped to internationalize production lines. One of the most eloquent symbol is provided by Apple&#39;s products are designed in California and assembled in China by Foxconn. Apple includes only about fifty thousand employees, researchers and managers, while the second largest global market capitalization, after Exxon. Less glamorous, Foxconn is working a million people. </p>
<p> 25% of the United States would be &quot;relocated&quot;
<p> These are the United States as a whole that work on this model, specializing in highly paid office jobs and relocating industrial production. The international division of labor has been entirely satisfactory in the first place.&quot;Until a decade ago, the effects of globalization on the distribution of wealth and jobs were safe,&quot; according to Professor Michael Spence, the IMF quotes extensively from the work <a href="http://fcrwizard.com">instant credit report</a><!-- . -->. The Nobel Prize in Economics notes that from 1990 to 2008, the U.S. managed to create 27 million jobs, keeping unemployment low. But 98% of these positions were offered by the sector working exclusively for the U.S. domestic market, including 10 million from government agencies and health. In contrast, industries whose products are exportable, &quot;tradable&quot;, as the term of Michael Spence, did not increase their employment, except in highly skilled occupations. The biggest loser is the middle class, who was employed by the industry.According to Professor Alan Blinder, former number two of the Fed, 25% of all jobs in the United States would be &quot;relocated&quot;. </p>
<p> This reconfiguration of the labor market was not prejudicial as the United States grew at a rate of 2.5% per annum. It became unbearable to the crisis, while the construction, public agencies and service companies hire less and less, even at low wages. The IMF notes that all the old industrialized countries are housed in the same boat. For his part, Michael Spence said the exception of Germany, &quot;which has clearly failed to protect his employment in export industries when they were threatened.&quot; He noted also that the de-industrialization resulting in collective impoverishment.According to his calculations, the value added per employee increased from 72,000 to 80,000 dollars between 1990 and 2008 across the Atlantic in non-exporters, while it jumped from 79,000 to 120,000 dollars in industries working for the world market. </p>
<p> Globalization is certainly not a zero sum game in which emerging economies prosper at the expense of old nations. But within each country, certain social groups benefit while others suffer. IMF sees not only a factor of inequality, but also a drag on overall growth: by venting industries, which have much higher potential productivity service activities, the United States and Europe condemned to decline. Not wishing to embark on a highly political terrain, the IMF experts take shelter behind the recommendations of Professor Spence.They are twofold: win back lost industrial jobs by the middle class while practicing a specific social redistribution in favor of the victims of globalization clearly identified. </p>

According to press Helvetic, he had to enjoy a visit to the Singapore sovereign fund GIC, which holds 6.41% of UBS, to ask the Board of Directors of the bank vote of confidence.He wanted to get his approval to remain in power until early 2013 and to complete the restructuring of the banking and wealth management at UBS. </p>
<p> The extent of the fraud trader in London, Kweku Adoboli, has had because of this determination. &quot;The Board regrets the decision of Oswald Grübel.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The Paris Bourse was able to string together a second consecutive increase session on Wednesday. The CAC 40 closed up 1.87% to 2949.14% points. Like him, Frankfurt and London end of respective increases of 3.23% and 1.02%. Milan won 2.69% and 2.70% Madrid. </p>

The indices have been a roller coaster, changing direction at the rate of market rumors regarding the euro area.For example, one on a veto of Austria to strengthen the European support fund, has reduced the CAC in the afternoon, before being denied and allow a rise in prices. </p>

They expect this meeting to real progress on the issue of Greece&#39;s debt. </p>
<p> The Polish Finance Minister, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the EU, has poured oil on the fire by stating that Europe was &quot;in danger&quot;. Conversely, José Manuel Barroso has played the appeasement card confirming the presentation of a study on options for the creation of Eurobonds, desired by the market mechanism <a href="http://unsecured-personal-loans-quick.com">guaranteed online personal loans</a><!-- . -->.Pending possible support more concrete, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in turn referred to a strengthening of Chinese investment in Europe. </p>
<p> Side values, the banking sector has best illustrated the nervousness of investors. Despite degradation by Moody&#39;s debt of Societe Generale and Credit Agricole, and the maintenance of a negative watch for BNP Paribas, the banks had continued to rebound early in the day. But the trend was reversed late in the session. Finally, BNP Paribas 3.93% drops to EUR 26.90 and signs the worst performance of the CAC. Societe Generale lost 2.88% to 17.38 euros (the share was still over 8% in half an hour of closing). Crédit Agricole manages to stay in the green of accuracy (1.22% to 5.21%). </p>
<p> Areva decline (-2% to 20.58 euros) despite the announcement by the BBC of an order of over one billion euros by EDF (3.20% to 19.98 euros).Michelin, which maintains its targets for 2011, gaining 5.13% to 46.49 euros. </p>
