			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Sales up, prices under pressure. The results of the marketing of new homes for the second quarter, released Tuesday by the Department of Ecology, show that the industry continues its recovery. More than 29,900 new homes have been acquired between March and June 2010, or 7.6% more than during the same period last year. The houses mostly benefit from this improvement (+23.3% yoy). The overall number of sales still remains well below the level reached in 2007 with nearly 40,000 new homes sold in the second quarter. In the first quarter 2010, sales had increased 5.3% over one year (26,700 sales). Over the last twelve months, 110,200 transactions were concluded. </p>
<p> Several events could however be affected by this recovery still fragile, particularly the reform of aid to the acquisition.The predicted demise of the tax credit on the loan interest and the end of the doubling of interest-free loan, as well as the good performance of Scellier still have boosted sales early this year. Mouillart Michel, professor of economics at University Paris X, is also concerned that loopholes in the tax planing and removal of 340 million euros in cash HLM &quot;does dub from the nose area of new construction from summer 2011 or early 2012. </p>
<p> The specter of scarcity </p>
<p> Especially as the specter of shortages threat. If the number of new homes for sale in the second quarter of 2010 was much higher than last year (+57.3%), the stock of new homes for sale continues to decline. At 30 June 66,900 homes were still available, or 20.8% and 23.9% for apartments and houses less than in June 2009.The number of building permits issued, which continues its growth, has increased by 31% between May and July 2010. It should nevertheless have at least two years for the construction of housing starts. For now, housing starts stagnating. Even if the month of July recorded a rebound of 17.7% over a year, housing starts remained stable between May and July 2010 (+0.2%). </p>
<p> Consequently, the time is shorter sales and prices are rising. The average time of flow is thus increased from 9 to 7 months for apartment buildings and 12 to 8 months for the individual home. </p>
<p> As for prices, buyers looking for a house fared better than those who want to buy an apartment. The price of individual homes fell 4.2% and even more large, up to 20% decrease for six or more rooms. The price of square meter in the community continues to grow, however.At 3375 euros for an apartment is up 5.4% compared to last year. The studios also face inflation of more than 11%. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The Spanish economy is indeed recovering from recession. The results of the second quarter, with GDP growth of 0.2%, according to final figures released yesterday, confirmed. This is the second positive quarter after 18 months of recession. A marked improvement in household consumption, especially durable goods, coupled with a slight improvement in business investment boosted the recovery between April and June, also helped by strong exports. The contribution of domestic demand growth rose from -2.8% to -0.5%. </p>
<p> But the horizon may darken in the coming months. &quot;We expected a good performance of consumption with purchases made ahead before stopping the car scrapping and entry into force of up 2 points from VAT, says Jesus Castillo, Natixis.In addition, new restrictive measures and labor market will always influence the damaged second half. &quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> It all started when Carrefour has undertaken an extensive market study on the area of Fuyang in Anhui Province (eastern China). The group then found that some 160 supermarkets already sported the logo, said the official news agency Xinhua (New China). </p>
<p> In reality, these stores are in the distribution chain Anhui China Jiali, founded in 2002 and located in the region of Fuyang. The official Chinese name of Carrefour translating phonetically &#39;Jialefu, &quot;the French group has found that its local rival had usurped its name and logo. And decided to enter the Chinese justice. </p>
<p> &quot;A trial is taking place, but we can not say more because it is being&quot; told AFP a Carrefour spokesman on condition of anonymity, confirming information reported by Xinhua.</p>
<p> Nearly 700,000 euros in damages </p>
<p> According to the Chinese agency, accused Carrefour Jiali Anhui and its affiliates have used a logo similar to the blue of the French group in China on his signs, his bags, his labels and receipts. Carrefour asked his rival to change its logo and to pay six million yuan (698,500 euros) in damages. The trial began Aug. 18 in the capital of Anhui Province, Hefei. </p>
<p> Anhui Jiali rejects accusations. The group recalled that he had changed his name before the filing of a complaint from Carrefour. At its inception in 2002, in fact, the supermarket chain was registered under the name &quot;Anhui Fuyang Jialefu Business and Trade Co., Ltd..&quot; Said the Chinese agency. The group changed its name by replacing &quot;Jialefu&quot; by &quot;Jiali&quot; in August 2009. </p>
<p> At that time, the chain had already opened more than 160 supermarkets in the area of Fuyang.But under its original name &#8230; For the local company, the logo of Carrefour China &#8211; which means &quot;happy family&quot; &#8211; does not have the distinctive attributes of a trademark. Faced with these arguments, it will be the Chinese court to decide. </p>
<p> On August 11, Carrefour announced the opening of its 160th hypermarket in China in the city of Liaoyang. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This will be a key to the success of future electric vehicles: their prices. For now, Renault-Nissan, which wants to become the world leader in this niche, has revealed that the rate of its Nissan Leaf, the first step in a move that provides eight launches (four for the French manufacturer and as for its Japanese ally) from the end of the year. </p>
<p> The group, which claims to be the first to enter the electric car &quot;mass market&quot; in proposing a &quot;sustainable&quot; price, was disappointed in May by announcing a Leaf &quot;less than 30,000 euros&#39; in Europe, the aid States included. </p>
<p> The electric Renault Zoe, scheduled for mid-2012, will it, much less expensive.According to an internal source, the manufacturer has, at this stage, devised a unique system where the car will be given to &quot;less than 15,000 euros in France, once the government bonus of € 5,000 for electric vehicles deducted. To this must be added the monthly rental of the battery for an amount &quot;approximately 100 euros. A clever way to reduce the purchase price of the model. </p>
<p> The State had indicated that its aid would not exceed 20% of the purchase price of the vehicle, plus the cost of batteries if they are taken in hiring. Including the cost of the battery over five years, the total cost reached 25,000 euros for Zoe, which should well be eligible for bonuses of 5,000 euros.The Zoe is supposed to represent almost two-thirds of the production of electric cars of the mark, or 150,000 units per year initially on the French site Flins. </p>
<p> Prices same as a Clio Diesel </p>
<p> The goal is to offer the car at a rate similar to that of a diesel vehicle of similar size, such as a Clio. The monthly price of the battery &quot;may also be equivalent to the fuel costs of a conventional car every month,&quot; said Le Figaro Hideaki Watanabe, project manager for electric cars Renault-Nissan <a href="http://no-fax-fast-cash-advance.com">faxless cash advances</a><!-- . -->.Approximately 100 euros, according to ADEME (Agency for Environment and Energy Management) for an average car running on diesel, which confirms our information. </p>
<p> To these costs will be added to the battery charging 1 euro for a full power of 100 kilometers. About 12 euros per month for a motorist driving 15,000 km per year. Renault also considers that the maintenance costs will be two times lower than those of a conventional vehicle, an electric motor requiring less intervention. In total, the group calculates that the cost of use of the electric car (rental of the battery, electricity and maintenance) will be each less than that of a conventional car. </p>
<p> Renault-Nissan Invests 4 billion euros in the development of this technology in 2008-2012.The group expects that operating fully aware cars represent 10% of global sales in 2020. A number deemed overstated by most experts. Among the obstacles to the growth potential of electric vehicles: the availability of public infrastructure charging and battery life, limited to 160 km for Zoe. </p>
<p> Renault will launch next year&#39;s electric Fluence in Israel, and its electric Kangoo in Europe. Side competitors, PSA Peugeot Citroën will market its Peugeot ion adapted from Mitsubishi iMiEV by the end of the year, but will have only 100,000 vehicles by 2015. The German Volkswagen is preparing a response for 2013. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> It is faster to start a business in Afghanistan and Albania in France. Seven days on average enough against nine in France. This spring the new World Bank report, &quot;Investing Across Borders 2010 &#39;, published today in Vienna. Completed between April and December 2009, compared to 87 countries around the laws that regulate foreign investment by retaining four criteria: the restrictions on equity investments, the time it takes to start a foreign company, access to industrial land and commercial arbitration regimes. </p>
<p> Latin America, including Brazil and Venezuela are conversely very slow (169 days and 179 days respectively), as well as China (99 days).If the countries of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) are mostly very open to foreign ownership in their enterprises, as well as Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Asia East and the Pacific, except Singapore of course, found the greatest number of restrictions, especially in China and Indonesia, says World Bank. </p>
<p> The East Asia stands out even more in the area of land since, apart from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, no country in the region reviewed by the bank allows foreigners to own their own land This poses no problem unlike in the OECD countries or in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.</p>
<p> And, notes the World Bank, countries are best placed in the report are those &quot;who also tend to attract more foreign investment in relation to the size of their economies and their people. Conversely, countries whose scores are lower tend towards higher levels of corruption, a higher political risk and governance structures are weakest. </p>

<p> With 155 billion pounds (186 billion euros) and 11% of GDP this year, the UK deficit is the highest in the G20. In response to this near disaster on young British finance minister George Osborne, this Tuesday, on the occasion of his &quot;emergency budget&quot; the austerity plan the hardest since the Second World War. Cuts so severe that many economists are concerned about its negative effect on growth. </p>
<p> The austerity is announced in the British house-to-false vis-à-vis Barack Obama, who wrote the G20 leaders to ask them to continue to support the recovery.&quot;Countries have different approaches, and in some countries like ours, there is a need to tackle the deficit and reduce it more quickly,&quot; argued on Monday, a spokesman for Downing Street 10. </p>
<p> To divide by four the structural deficit by 2014-2015, the government of David Cameron must find at least 88 billion pounds (106 billion euros), reducing government expenditure but also by increasing taxes . This effort far exceeds the level of 80 billion euros announced by Berlin and promises to be the largest of the major European countries.The savings could reach 34 billion pounds (41 billion euros) in the first year, equivalent to 2.4% of GDP. </p>
<p> Since taking office Prime Minister, David Cameron, communicate each week on budget cuts, &quot;whose impact will last for years, perhaps decades, that will win the country to avoid being in a situation similar to that of Greece. The Treasury is fear of being penalized by the rating agencies and losing its AAA rating, which would explode the cost of refinancing the country. </p>
<p> Taxes on capital gains </p>
<p> If George Osborne is expected to announce Tuesday the total austerity plan, details of the cuts by department will not be released until this fall. Rumors point to a decline of 25% of expenditure in the budget of Defense. But tax increases will be unavoidable, experts say.The new fees will concentrate on the richest. Under pressure from its partners the Liberal Democrats, George Osborne should also increase the tax on capital gains for individuals, 18% to 40% or even 50%, while the tax rate to 50% highest income is not questioned. &quot;The VAT is expected to increase by 17.5% to 20%, moving closer to the European average, which would yield 12 billion pounds per year (14 billion euros),&quot; said Brian Hilliard, economist at Societe Generale. </p>
