Sunday Business Round Up - 18 Nov

Welcome to another Sunday round-up. A day of difference in the UK with England nearly Qualified for Euro 2008 despite playing very badly and all the other home nations out, despite stirring efforts from Scotland and Northern Ireland. Life is just a bitch if your a caledonian, eh?

So, business wise, 10 of the most interesting stories today, with a focus on the Northern rock comments, I really like the hand wringing left pieces that show how little many on the left can understand the principles of capitalism:

Northern Rock Shambles - from The Guardian

Is it the Hedge funds fault? - from the telegraph (not really, by the way)

Government to be saved by high bids - from the Independent (let;s see what they say about the Government writing off the debt interest)

Rio Tinto take-away - The group may counter bid for BHP. Lots more mileage in this battle yet.

World Economic Outlook - Not a nice read, but informative nonetheless.

Easy money - $21 million bonus for new Merrill's Chief

Private Equity - New rules on disclosure try to head of regulation.

On the breadline? - ABF to sell bakery's as food inflation ruins the margins of the business.

S&N saga - The Nordic take-over approach is a long winded tale indeed.

Resolution at last - one deal is done, with Pearl beating Standard life to Resolution.

  1. World Economic Outlook - really great Sunday reading to cheer us up. Not.

    "This is explosive stuff for Gordon Brown's government, which has prided itself on sound financial management and a record of almost unbroken economic stability,"

    Yes it is surprising how long you can live on credit before the bailiffs turn up, isn't it?

    "sustained by its decision in 1997 to allow the Bank of England to set interest rates, free of ministerial interference."

    Without ministerial interference? Hmmm, and who sets the permitted levels of public spending? And who sets the inflation targets? And who determines what goes into the CPI calculation? And who determines the permitted level of government debt? I'm afraid it doesn't compare too favourably with the ECB. The ECB has a full signal box to control the railway - the BoE has one lever marked "STOP/GO"
