While the International Monetary Fund is seeking a new general manager following the resignation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, emerging countries are mobilizing in support of candidates from their ranks. It is "a moment of change" for a non-European leader, has estimated that Friday morning, Angel Gurria, secretary general of the OECD. As of Wednesday, the Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said that "time is gone when this important post was reserved for a European citizen." Touefois, he has changed his tone on Friday stating that Brazil was ready to support a European candidate for the leadership of the International Monetary Fund if it pursues the reforms of the "democratization" of the financial organization, said Friday the Minister Brazilian Finance Guido Mantega. "There may be good candidates for advanced and emerging countries, including the European Union (…).The important thing is that the new director of the IMF to continue the reforms initiated by Dominique Strauss-Kahn of democratization of the Fund, "said Mantega in an interview published Friday by the daily Folha de Sao Paulo.

For now, the Brazilian seems to have only moderate his speeches since the beginning of the affair Strauss-Kahn. In China, calls for change are increasing. "The time has come to put an end to Western domination on the IMF," said Shan Renping commentator, in an article published in the official newspaper Global Times. Its purpose is thus part of the continuity statements yesterday from the spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Jiang Yu said in effect that "newly emerging markets and developing countries must be represented to the leadership of the IMF."

Shan Renping adds that "one of the main responsibilities of the IMF is to oversee the trade and provide funds to countries in need, capabilities that can provide a growing China." The commentator noted in particular the name of Zhu Min, the former deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, then became Special Advisor to the Director of the IMF, as a potential buyer of the post.

Asia does not seem united enough to push one of its representatives.At a recent meeting of the Asian Development Bank in Hanoi, many are even ministers expressed support for Christine Lagarde, Julius Caesar by Parens, an expert from the Institute for Monetary Affairs in Tokyo.

Other emerging countries are pushing their own candidates

And other emerging countries would indeed one of their representatives take the reins of the institution. Thus, the Mexican Minister of Budget, Ernesto Cordero, supported the candidacy of Governor of the Bank of Mexico, Agustin Carstens, assuring the Mexican press that "it is the best candidate for the IMF."

The Commonwealth of Independent States (former USSR minus the Baltics and Georgia) has decided to propose the head of the Central Bank of Kazakhstan Grigory Marchenko. And many observers are betting on former Turkish Finance Minister Kemal Dervis.

The latter, however, indicated late Friday that day was not a candidate to succeed DSK as Director of the IMF.

Emerging economies will need time to agree on a common candidate and thus be able to weigh into the debate. Enough to explain why the Brazilian finance minister urges that the succession of DSK to head the IMF is not "decided in a hurry." And Wolfgang Schäuble's impatience, the German finance minister, who urged his partners in the European Union to designate someone to bring their colors in the race for the overall direction of the IMF.

Lipsky includes Christine Lagarde among candidates "well qualified"

Since the inception of the institution, the position is traditionally awarded to a European as the World Bank management is entrusted to an American.Thus, if an emerging leader is elected this would be a first for the institution.

While the position raises all desires to the four corners of the globe, American John Lipsky, who has served as Acting, said yesterday that the Board of Trustees will meet Friday to discuss it. He believes that Christine Lagarde is one of the candidates "well qualified" to lead the institution. A view widely shared in France and Europe, where statements of support have multiplied yesterday.

However, John Lipsky has left the door open to candidates from emerging countries, stating that "there is a consensus among our members that the process of appointing the CEO should be open, transparent and must be on the basis of merit. Open means open.Open does not open only to some. "The campaign has only just begun.

On a website designed specially for the occasion, their pictures were displayed on a map according to their countries of origin. In 15 days, nearly 342 people came forward. "We wondered if the huge public interest in the British was the same within thirty European countries where we operate.And that's the case, "says Celine Take, communications manager of the company.

Among the candidates, two French, John Bastgen, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, Bachelin and Mary, originally from Evreux. Even if the gossips are not their any resemblance to the royal couple, easyJet has thought otherwise. They are the ones who were chosen to form the William and Kate French. They had the onerous task of defending the colors of the Hexagon at the European finals of the competition which brought together twenty Europeans on Wednesday. Hello princely marriage proposal, throwing bouquet: their performance has been decrypted by the Communications Director of easyJet and the director of an agency look-alikes.

Finalists console themselves by attending (the crowd) to marry a person of their choice. As for the winners, they get a year of their easyJet air tickets for travel on the 550 routes served by low cost.

Communication "clever"

Question image, the bet is successful for easyJet online payday loans.

According to this expert, this marketing strategy is entirely within the historic codes of low cost communication."The idea of ​​low cost groups has always been to use a communication challenges, even shocking, and humor to attract attention and sympathy from customers.

"I read too often that Sodexo is a leader in Catering, complains Michel Landel, chief executive of the group. Sodexo is no longer a catering company. We have developed expertise in other trades. Today, we offer comprehensive solutions that include food services. "To illustrate his development, the boss added:" We take care of all our customers, but their job! It is a unique and original position. "

Sodexo still remains the world number two catering, behind Britain's Compass. This activity still accounts for 70% of its turnover! But for several years, this percentage tends to decline in favor of other benefits, growth and higher margins.

Sodexo now offers services ranging from assistance for the reintegration of prisoners, janitorial company and maintain medical equipment in hospitals. This year the group has won a contract with Nokia in China, to handle the technical maintenance of production plants phones manufacturer in Beijing and southern China. United States, the company was chosen by the city of Detroit for the restoration of 101,000 students in 136 public schools … But it will also provide maintenance, cleaning and maintenance of buildings and green spaces. Nothing to see, therefore, with the restoration …

Accelerate diversification

"While the food services grew on average by 3.5%, other services rose by 7.8% and their share rose from 18% to 25% of sales in four years," said Michel Landel .In 2008, Sodexo had bought the German Zehnacker, offering in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Poland services to hospitals.

For 18.98 euros, a low-rib of beef, half pork loin, fish, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, oranges, a loaf of bread and cheese at 0% fat fat and a liter of orange juice 100% pure juice. That the offer by Carrefour as part of the operation of "baskets of essentials", launched on Wednesday by the government.

From the end of the month, many brands of supermarkets (Leclerc, Carrefour, Casino, Auchan, Système U …), signed the agreement to be signed in mid-day with Secretary of State for Consumer Affairs , will offer their customers because of baskets ready to go, including ten foods for a minimum price "attractive."

"Instead of raw products" and season, says one in the entourage of the Minister.Consumers should find "at least one meat, fish, fruit, vegetable, cheese, dairy product and a drink," said Frédéric Lefebvre on Wednesday in the columns of Le Parisien – Today in France. Each brand itself composed his own basket and set the price.

If the agreement mentions a price "attractive" products and "quality", these terms are therefore left to the sole discretion of the distributors. "We want to emphasize fruits and vegetables and seasonal produce. From one week to another, so prices will vary depending on whether there are apples, pears and apricots, "explains the Secretary of State for Consumer Affairs.The latter relies on free competition to push prices down.

Up 2% to 4% in food prices

The launch of the "basket of essential" is timely, then the price of current expenditure, particularly food, continue to move upward bad credit payday advance. At the end of March, the federation of the retail stores has announced the forthcoming impact of inflation in the prices of agricultural commodities on the products sold in stores. On average, food should be sold 2% to 4% more expensive in the coming weeks. But on some commodities such as coffee and bread, the increase could reach 20%.

This factor, coupled with rising energy prices, consequently reduces the household budget.Consequence: according to a poll released on Monday and 20 minutes, one third of the French plan to reduce their food expenditures. A figure of concern to public health, if we consider that the cheapest products (canned, frozen pizzas …) are also those whose nutritional qualities are the poorest.

The launch of the "basket of essentials" could therefore provide a first response to soaring food prices. Hopefully the quality of products remains at the rendezvous. About an operation targeting the same type of school supplies, called "Essentials of school" and set up in September 2010, the association Familles de France pointed the finger at the poor quality of essential products offered by major surfaces.

* This week will include two types of meat of French origin (a low-rib of beef and half pork loin), fish, apples-to-earth, carrots, Spanish oranges, a loaf of bread, white cheese at 0% and a quart of orange juice.
