Toshiba Corp, predicted an annual net loss ot 280 bil lion yen (3.1 billion dollars) a far cry from last year's profit of 127.4 billion yen.

AFP, London
Anglo-Dutch energy giant Royal Dutch Shell said Thursday it made a net loss of 2.81 billion dollars (2.15 billion euros) in the final quarter of 2008 as plunging oil prices slashed the value of inventories.
The loss compared with net profit of 8.47 billion dollars during the fourth quarter of 2007 when crude prices were far higher, Europe's largest oil company said in a statement.
"During the fourth quarter 2008 worldwide oil and gas related commodity marker prices declined significantly," Shell said.
"As a consequence, net working capital decreased by some 15 billion dollars during the fourth quarter 2008, mainly due to the lower valued inventory in oil products" held by the group.
Shell's earnings were battered badly in the three months, with oil prices slumping to near five-year low's below 33 dollars a barrel as the global economic slowdown curbed demand for energy.
The sharp drop in prices came after oil struck historic highs above 147 dollars in July as the markets focused on simmering geopolitical tensions in major crude exporters Iran and Nigeria.

at $2.2 trillion: IMF
AFP, Washington
The IMF said Wednesday global banking industry losses may reach 2.2 trillion dollars in the current financial crisis, sharply revising up its previous estimate of 1.4 trillion dollars.
The International Monetary Fund said that a deteriorating credit crisis made it to revise its estimate for losses for US-originated credits, largely from the real estate sector, that have hit banks worldwide.
"The worsening credit conditions affecting a broader range of markets have raised our estimate of the potential deterioration in US-originated credit assets held by banks and others from 1.4 trillion dollars ... to 2.2 trillion dollars, " an IMF report said.
Much of the deterioration occurred in the area of corporate and commercial real estate securities "but degradation is also occurring in the loan books of banks, reflecting the weakening outlook for the economy," the Washington-based institution said in an update of its October global financial stability report.
