Britain orders bank bonuses, management probe
AFP,London
Britain is to conduct a review of bank management that will probe the link between bonuses and excessive risktaking, Finance Minister Alistair Darling said in com ments published Sunday.
Prime Minister (ionion Brown's government has launched two rounds of bank bailouts worth hundreds of billions of pounds which has seen the state take big stakes in high street names like Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
But the prospect of banks which have been propped up by the state handing hefty bonuses to executives and traders has provoked fury.
The Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that RBS wanted to pay its staff nearly one billion pounds (1.48 billion dollars, 1.14 billion euros) in bonuses this year.
"The City bankers who ruined their banks but have been kept in employment by the taxpayer now demand we pay them their bonuses to maintain the aristocratic lifestyle to which they have become accustomed," Vince Cable, finance spokesman for the centre left opposition Liberal Democrats, wrote in the Mail on Sunday.
"They know no shame and take no blame. They are lucky the British have no guillotines in stock."
Darling is expected to announce full details of the probe on Monday but wrote in the Sunday Telegraph that he was "setting up an independent review which will examine how banks are managed".
UBS set to announce
historic loss
AFP, Zurich
Switzerland's largest bank, UBS, is expected to announce the biggest loss in the country’s history when it releases Tuesday its results for 2008, a year that saw die national icon tarnished by the subprime crisis.
But if there is a silver lining for the bank, which has been the target of a huge state rescue package, it lies in the fact that analysts say UBS has now hit bottom after its stock price fell 82 percent since die summer of2007.
For that reason, the loss of nearly 20 billion Swiss francs (13.3 billion euros, 17.2 billion dollars) the bank is expected to announce for 2008 on Tuesday should not surprise markets, analysts say.
"The bank has already publicised its problems to a large degree and the fall in the stock price should not be so large." said a trader in Zurich.
Last November, UBS posted a net profit of 296 million Swiss francs for the third quarter following a year of losses, but warned that a renewed loss was looming for the followingquarter.
The numbers expected to be unveiled Hiesday are staggering, reflecting the fact that UBS was one of the banks hardest hit by the US subprime loan crisis.
Japan minister suggests additional stimulus plan AFP, Tokyo
Japan's economy minister Kaoru Yosano said Sunday the government may consider offering an extra economic stimulus package if the economy deteriorates further.
"I think that would be a wise move,” Yosano told the private broadcaster TV Asahi, when asked whether the government was ready to offer additional stimulus packages if Japan's economic growth for the fourth quarter to December turns out to be bad.
Figures for Japan's gross domestic product (GDP) for the October-December quarter are set to be announced on February 16.
Prime Minister Taro Aso in December announced a stimulus package worth 23 trillion yen (253 billion dollars), in addition to a 26.9 trillion yen package unveiled in October.
The latest stimulus package, included in the budget plan for the fiscal year starting April, is currently being debated by parliament.
Gulf economic growth to slowto3.5pc:IMF
AFP, Dubai
Economic growth in Arab states of the Gulf is likely to slow to 3.5 percent this year as oil revenues plummet due to a worsening global outlook, the International Monetary Fund said on Sunday.
"For the oil exporters, the decline in oil prices and OPEC production cuts are projected to reduce oil export receipts by almost 50 percent in 2009,"Masood Ahmed, director of IMF's Middle East and Central Asia Department, said in a statement after a presentation in Dubai.
"This implies a loss of government revenue to the tune of300 billion dollars compared to 2008," he said.
However, increased government spending could help bolster the Gulf region's economies, which are estimated to have grown by 6.8 percent in 2008, Ahmad said.
He said the size of the slowdown would also depend on the extent of the crisis in the United States and Europe.
