Traveling in Indre-et-Loire, Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on Friday the release of three billion euros in loans to help local communities. "The funding needs of communities must be met to enable them to carry out their investments, said the Prime Minister.

"Pending the establishment of a new entity formed by the CDC and the Postal Bank, the Deposit will therefore over the funding of local authorities so far provided by the dismantling of which Dexia is accurate.

These standards penalize long-term financing that are not backed by stable resources such as bank deposits. "Basically, this means that we can not lend unless the borrower has savings," noted a banker."Now communities spared nothing."

Announced Thursday by U.S. President Barack Obama, it reached 447 billion against $ 300 billion anticipated by the markets. Its effect on Wall Street, however, could be mixed, most investors expecting the Republicans in Congress, then block its adoption.

"Real estate: the cropped Scellier

"Niches: plane and down the ceiling

"Companies: rising social package

"Other tracks: capital gains on the hot seat

Operation must! The government will this week attempt to convince the financial markets on its ability to control public finances. François Fillon unveiled late Wednesday afternoon in the presence of Baroin and Valerie Pécresse, the Ministers of Economy and Budget, the new conservation measures for France to retain investor confidence and its " AAA. "

The government enters the final stretch trade-offs. François Fillon and Nicolas Sarkozy meet to sort the list of suggestions made last week by Bercy (and amended by the relevant ministries) and begin to remove some tracks.Then the president and prime minister Wednesday to finalize the measures to adopt.

The government did not release the extent of the plan, but it evokes an effort between 5 and 10 billion, and a trend towards the top. The turn of the screw will break down between savings on public spending and further cuts in tax and social niches.

On this last point, the government does not start from scratch. The measures that were passed in the fall (tax on marriages, on the solar panels, niches plane, etc.). Will yield 2.4 billion in 2012. But we'll have to do much more. There is another month, the government did not request such an effort to households and businesses. He planned to take samples of only 3 billion. With 2.4 billion already in the pipeline, the step to take was minimal.But since the degradation of "AAA" rating from the United States, France finds itself under pressure from the markets. Even if it borrows at low levels (2.74% at ten years), a sign of confidence that it continues to generate, France must do everything to protect his note. For if it were lowered, the state should borrow at higher rates. According to the Court of Auditors, an increase of one point would increase the debt burden of $ 2 billion the first year. To prevent a runaway cost of debt, the government should not deviate from its route.

Increase in the social package

Paris has pledged to reduce its public deficit to 5.7% of GDP in 2011 and 4.6% in 2012. This objective was particularly complicated since the Insee reported zero growth in the second quarter. Bercy forecasts an increase of 2% of GDP in 2011 and 2.25% in 2012 now seem too optimistic.On average, economists expect now on a 1.4% growth next year. However, less growth means less tax revenue and more spending for the state, the social security and local authorities. Without necessarily announcing Wednesday a revised its growth forecasts, the government is obliged, if he wants to keep its deficit targets, to take austerity measures …

Increase in the social package for businesses, new plane and lower overall ceiling of niches, penknife devices ultramarine and real estate … the tracks are not lacking. The government also provides measures for the social security system, not to mention taxing very high incomes as suggested on Wednesday, Maurice Levy, president of Publicis and the Association of Private Enterprises (Afep), in an article in Le Monde ."We need efforts that will be requested to the French are fairly distributed," assured the same day Valerie Pécresse on Europe 1. The measures adopted will be included in budget 2012.

France can she get into the spiral of Greece, where budget cuts exacerbate the recession, which in turn widens the gap? A priori not. This year, increases in taxes, resulting from the measures passed in the fall, reached $ 12 billion. Without destabilizing the country.

Real estate: the cropped Scellier

Before the crisis, Bercy was considering reducing benefits. The pressure is greatest.

• Law Scellier

The niche Scellier reduces its tax by investing in rental real estate. It was expected that the tax reduction equal to 22% of the investment in 2011 reaches 18% in 2012.The reduction could fall to 15%.

• Ready to zero +

There are plans to reintroduce a means test for the loan (PTZ), in order to focus on vulnerable households.

• Capital gains on real estate

The capital gain on the sale of a principal residence will remain tax exempt. For other assets, the gain is taxed at 19%, plus 12.3% social. However, there is a reduction (10% per year after five years in prison) that applies to the capital gain and will disappear for undeveloped land for building. It is also the question of decline (eg 5%) for other goods.Another track: the system of reduction of the gain disappears for the payment of social security contributions.

Niches: plane and down the ceiling

The tax loopholes will undergo a new movement of the plane after the last year which affected 22 devices (Scellier, actions overseas, the tax credit for environmental equipment in the house). The rate of tax reduction was reduced by 10%: a rate of 50% was increased to 45%, a rate of 25% to 22% … The measure, however, has yet to be felt, because the first plane applies to the income tax paid in 2012, sitting on the revenues of 2011. The government planned to meet the plane in 2011 (eg 15%) and pass a new tax on plane sitting on the revenues of 2012.
Widely used devices, such as overseas benefits or tax credits for equipment of the house will still be trimmed.MPs want all the niches are planed. Others will disappear. In addition, the overall ceiling of niches, set at 6% of income over 18,000 euros, will be lowered.

Companies: rising social package

Social package, paid by companies on the profit-sharing and employee savings, should be increased from 6% to 8%. Expected gain: 400 million euros. Since its inception in 2009, the government increased the fee by 2 points every year! Systems loss carry-on prior and subsequent, which limit the corporate tax should be reduced. They benefit primarily to large companies but the government wants to rebalance the tax burden with the small. The carry-back would
limited to one year. And to carry forward losses from the profits would be capped.In Germany, the losses charged can not exceed 60% of the profit. However, the idea of ​​limiting the deductibility of loan interest is difficult to implement.

Tax on very wealthy households

The government pledged in the spring to tax high incomes, and a working group must report its findings in the fall. Two tracks are at this stage on the table to non-deductible from corporate income tax payments "extravagant" or create a new tax paid by very wealthy households. The latter option holds the rope in the government because it has the support of parliamentarians. Gilles Carrez, the rapporteur of the budget UMP
in the Assembly, propose to tax at a rate of 1% or 2% revenues exceeding one million euros per year. But Peter wants Méhaignerie the new tax applies from 150,000 euros to 200,000 euros in annual income for a couple.The lively debates ahead!

Other tracks: capital gains on the hot seat

Gilles Carrez wants the taxation of life insurance is carried over the water each year on their earnings potential, while households are now taxed when withdrawn at a variable rate depending on the length of detention ( 7.5% after eight years). Another idea: adjust the taxation of life insurance, whether it is placed in shares or products without risk. The UMP Jérôme Chartier wants to create an additional ceiling on tax loopholes, reducing to 50% of tax due from the advantage of niches. But Bercy is not favorable. Finally, many parliamentarians call for the removal of reliefs on capital gains from stocks and bonds (third year in excess of five years from 2012).

The American and European leaders were under pressure Sunday to try to agree on a concerted response to the debt crisis in the eurozone and the degradation of the note of the United States. Front line, they seek to avoid further financial market plunge Monday, worried about the slowdown in global growth and spread of the debt crisis in the eurozone. Since Friday, so they stepped up contacts.

• Maintenance of imminent G7 finance ministers.

A telephone conference of finance ministers and central bankers to be held Monday, according to Japanese news agency Kyodo. Interviews are tentatively scheduled before the opening of Asian markets (in the night from Sunday to Monday in Europe).

• A G20 focused on the debt. More broadly, the G20, which groups the world's major economies, contacted by telephone Sunday morning to discuss the consequences of the debt crisis on both sides of the Atlantic. Nothing had filtered from the meeting at noon.Only South Korea said that its confidence in the U.S. Treasury had not changed despite the decision of Standard & Poor's. "There will be no change in the policy of foreign exchange reserves of South Korea," said Vice Minister of Finance.

• The ECB will speak Sunday. Among the tracks in the study is a possible intervention by the European Central Bank, which could buy government bonds in Italy and Spain. This intervention is strongly demanded by the markets payday loans. The European Central Bank Thursday reactivated its share repurchase program of sovereign debt in order to calm soaring interest rates in some countries of the euro area, but has so far bought only small amounts of debt and Irish Portuguese, while speculation is focused on Italy and Spain.If the decision to intervene is taken, the ECB and national central banks will begin to redeem the bond markets open Monday. A meeting of governors will be held Sunday to 18 hours.

• Nicolas Sarkozy met with David Cameron on Saturday. The President, who chairs the G7 and G20 met Saturday evening on the phone for thirty minutes of the financial situation with British Prime Minister. The two men "agreed on the importance of working together to monitor the situation closely and keep in touch in the coming days," said a London spokesman for Downing Street, without giving further details. The discussion between the two leaders has focused on his view "the euro area and the lowering of the rating American."

• Barack Obama called on Europeans Friday night.According to the White House, Bush spoke by phone separately with President Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel about "the latest developments of the crisis in the euro zone" and noted "the importance of [the] implementation "of measures adopted at the summit of the euro area on July 21. The leaders of the eurozone had concerted Friday after finding that the agreement found to cope with the debt crisis had not convinced the markets.

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.

A meeting is scheduled tomorrow to financial analysts.

Dia is now very dependent on the Iberian Peninsula, where it generates more than half of its sales and nearly three-quarters of its profits. This does not preclude the company to post a very ambitious development plan.It is an annual growth of its turnover by 7% by 2013, up 10% of its operating income.

"This is an event of contemporary history. A global event and unprecedented, "he pleads. All the big chains will diffuse into the world. " What explains the popularity of this royal wedding in a republican country like France? "De Gaulle said:" The French have a taste of the Prince and will look abroad. We have two monarchies replacing the Windsor and Grimaldi. This year is finally a year for the French! Moreover, the news is enough anxiety.From this point of view, marriage is timely to break the torpor. Finally, it is a significant historic event in the history of the monarchy. What is reassuring for people is knowing where it goes, that will embody its future Marriage is a promise for the future because children may be born after. "

Broken for about 25 years, with the exercise of great ceremonies commentary (that of Prince Charles with Camilla Parker Bowles) as well as funerals (like those of Prince Rainier), Stéphane Bern believes it is "' be both very "first degree" in the narrative of the event, to decipher the codes and rituals that we see in the image, but also sometimes bring a little distance, to be entertained because this is a happy event. "2 France for the occasion send his special envoys "to Buckingham Palace, to Westminster, on the course and ceremony in the small village of origin of Kate Middleton."

If there is "certainly issues of audience," Stephane Bern ensures they "escape him." An asset plus the freedom that the public service vis-à-vis the advertising. "In other channels where I officiated, we always left before the kiss, because he had to make the antenna to log 13 hours. Here, we will keep the air from 9 to 14 hours to kiss on the balcony.

However, as in England, all products will feed directly into the foundation.I will declare myself a book published by Albin Michel Marriage (Monaco), whose rights will be donated to the two foundations, "explains Stéphane Bern.

Besides the show "How it goes!" On France 2, Stéphane Bern animates every day since 2000 "Mad King" on France Inter, live. Every season, his name is circulating in the list of the "transfer window" of the radio. The next school year will she change that? "I have no idea. The game is very open. I have been approached by various radio stations. I already asked the question for the ten years of "Mad King". It may need (to) renew. It's a job where you always question yourself. I can not imagine sitting on a throne for years. The game is open, perhaps for the first time, "he concedes.Expected response "in early May between the two marriages …."
