Nokia posts loss of
$832m in Q3
Al*, Helsinki
World-leading mobile phone maker Nokia Corp on Thursday reported a loss of curo559 million ($832 million) in the third quarter, taking hits from a 20 percent drop in sales and a large one-time charge at its network unit.
Nokia made a profit of eurol.09 billion in the same quarter of2008.
Net sales in the July-September period dropped to euro9.8l billion, down from euro!2.2 billion in the same period last year, partly due to a shortage ol components across its product portfolio, Nokia said.
The Finnish company also booked a 908 million euros goodwill impairment at Nokia Siemens Networks, a joint network infrastructure unit with Siemens AG of Germany.
The mobile phone industry has been hit hard by the financial crisis, but Nokia said the market outlook is improving. It raised its 2009 forecast for mobile phone volumes, saying it now expects a 7 percent decline from the previous year, rather than the 10 percent fall it had earlier predicted.
Nokia also upgraded Its estimates for the network infrastructure market, predicting a 5 percent fall in euro terms in 2009, compared to an earlier estimate of a 10 percent decline.
Dubai state firms due
to repay $50b
AFP, Dubai
State-related companies in Dubai are due to repay nearly 50 billion dollars in debt - - 70 percent of the Gulf emirates estimated GDP - within the next three years, Standard and Poor's said in a study published onThursday.
There is a "significant" likelihood the government of the Gulf emirate will have to give financial support to at least some of the companies, the credit ratings agency said, estimating that the government and the various companies owe 80 to 90 billion dollars in total.
The companies include finance group DIFC Investments, ports operator DP World, Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ), Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authority (DMCC), Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group (DHCOG).
It is "almost certain" DIFC and DHCOG will next special government help, while the likelihood of JAFZ and DP World needing support is "very high," the report said, adding that a lack of official statistics means there is a significant margin of error in the figures and this generates uncertainty.

Remittances back home from millions of Filipinos working abroad rose 2.8 percent year-on-year in August, the central bank said on Thursday, bolstering expectations for economic growth.
The total of 1.4 billion dollars in August brought remittances for the first eight months of the year to 11.34 billion dollars, a 3.7 percent increase from the same period last year, the central bank said in a statement.
"Remittances from Filipino workers overseas continued to underpin the resilience of the economy, remaining a stable source of foreign exchange for the country," the statement said.
It credited the remittances to the steady deployment of workers abroad and the improved services and channels for sending the money home, particularly through local banks.
India inflation rises less than forecast
AFP, New Delhi
India's inflation accelerated at a much slower rate than expected, government data showed Thursday, easing pressure on the central bank to tighten monetary policy.
Annual inflation rose to 0.92 percent in the week ended October 3 from 0.70 percent a week earlier, according to the Wholesale Price Index, India's most-watched cost-of-living benchmark.
Analysts had expected a figure close to 1.5 percent with food prices stoked by the worst monsoon in nearly four decades. But the cost of food items declined during the week.
The central bank's monetary policy committee meets October 27 to make a decision on interest rates.
