Yahoo sees rough Q1 under new CEO
AP, San Francisco
Yahoo Inc won't be consummating any deals with its jilted suitor Microsoft Corp, any time soon if Carol Bartz, the beleaguered Internet company's new chief executive, has any say in the matter.
Left on its own, Yahoo may be headed for its fourth consecutive year of lower profit even as Bartz pledges to engineer a turnaround.
The first quarter almost certainly will bring more misery In a forecast released late Tuesday with its fourth -quarter results, Yahoo predicted its revenue for the three months ending March may plunge by as much as 16 per cent from last year. The rest of the year looks so murky that Bartz didn't even bother to look beyond the first quarter, breaking from Yahoo tradition.
Despite the dour outlook, investors seemed relieved that Yahoo withstood the recession better than analysts had anticipated at the end of2008.
Although the Sunnyvale-based company sustained a $303 million loss in the period, the performance surpassed analyst estimates after factoring out about $600 million in charges to account for 1,500 recent layoffs, office closures and the eroding value ofYahoo's European operations.
Singapore Airlines suspends some flights amid downturn
AFP, Singapore
Singapore Airlines (SIA) said Wednesday it will suspend some international flights as the worsening global economy takes its toll on travel demand.
Flights to India, Southeast Asia, the United States and Europe will be affected, SIA said in a statement.
"Singapore Airlines is making further adjustments to its route network to better match capacity with demand," it said.
"Where demand falls, capacity adjustments will be made and this process will continue going forward."
It said the changes will be implemented progressively and will apply until the end of March.
Flights between Singapore and the Indian city of Hyderabad will be cut to three times weekly from four, the airline said.
Service between Singapore and New Delhi will be trimmed to five times a week from six, while Mumbai-Singapore service will be cut to four times a week from five.
Asia's economic crunch catches up with Australia
AFP, Sydney
A slew of economic data Wednesday pointed to an abrupt end to boom times in Australia as Asia's fading appetite for mining resources and the global financial crisis put the brakes on the economy.
Inflation fell for the first time in two years in the fourth quarter of 2008, skilled job vacancies dropped by 43 percent over the year and a major index of economic activity tipped a recession, figures showed.
A drop of 0.3 percent in the consumer price index slashed the annual inflation rate to 3.7 percent from 5.0 percent in the 12 months to September, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Federal TYeasurer Wayne Swan said the drop was further evidence of the impact of the global recession and falling commodities prices on Australia's economy.
Demand in China and other Asian countries for Australian resources such as coal and iron ore had driven the economy for years, but exports have been hit hard by fading growth in major trading partners.
Embattled Japanese
PM unveils jobs plan
AFP, Tokyo
Beleaguered Prime Minister Taro Aso called Wednesday on Japan to be confident about its future, despite the worsening recession as he voiced hope of creating 1.6 million jobs.
The conservative leader, suffering some of the lowest approval ratings on record, said a 400 billion yen (4.48 billion dollar) fund for local governments would aim to create the 1.6 million jobs in the next three years.
"I hope this will lead to the creation of new businesses, for example nursing and food delivery services for the elderly, "Aso said.
The prime minister laid out the plan as he delivered a policy speech to parliament. He must call elections by September and polls show that the opposition is rising in the polls.
