Sustaining success
For a number of years, Cyprus has been considered a popular location for foreign investment. Its status as a former British colony and its stable tax system has proved to be an attractive opportunity for overseas investors, but there’s much more to this island than investment opportunities. An array of important factors contribute to the […]
Obama sees climate deal as summit deadline nears
US President Barack Obama has expressed confidence a climate deal can be clinched as dozens of world leaders gather on Wednesday to try to break a deadlock at UN climate talks. “The president believes that we can get an operational agreement that makes sense in Copenhagen,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told a briefing in […]
US’ Geithner: TARP to earn healthy profit for US
Plans from Wells Fargo & Co and Citigroup to repay taxpayer funds will put the US government on track to reduce its bailout investments in banks by more than 75 percent, while earning a healthy profit for the US, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Monday. “With the recent announcements on repayments, we are now […]
Malaysia PM to offer CO2 reductions in Copenhagen
Malaysia’s government will offer “credible” cuts in its emissions of carbon dioxide at the Copenhagen climate change summit in a bid to halt global warming, Prime Minister Najib Razak told Reuters on Sunday. Najib will be among more than 110 world leaders who will meet in Copenhagen next week to attend a summit to try […]
UK’s Darling says PBR will reassure markets
The Labour government’s plan to halve the budget deficit over four years will soothe market concerns about Britain’s debt burden, finance minister Alistair Darling told reporters in an interview on Thursday.

Bolivia’s Morales needs cash, know-how for bold plans
Bolivia’s President Evo Morales wants to launch state-run paper and cement ventures and develop lithium, petrochemical and iron projects in his second term but a lack of foreign investment and know-how could hamper his ambitious plans. Leftist Morales won 63 percent of the vote in an election on Sunday to run the energy-rich but economically […]
OPEC set for no change, oil price holds the key
OPEC is expected to hold output steady when it meets in Luanda at the end of this month, rounding off a year of stable production policy and of robust oil prices. Oil inventories are brimming and any recovery in demand is expected to be slow, but international benchmark U.S. crude futures have more than doubled […]
Lamborghini braces for tough 2010, China revs up
Lamborghini expects to post a roughly 35 percent slide in 2009 sales as the global economic downturn slams the brakes on spending from even the super-rich, with growth likely to pick up again only in 2011. Next year will remain challenging for the maker of supercars graced by a charging bull logo, a unit of […]
Hopes low on near-term China approval for Hummer deal
Hopes China’s Tengzhong will complete the deal to buy General Motor’s Hummer brand as early as this week appear unlikely to be fulfilled, with the regulator tasked with assessing the deal yet to receive a formal application, according to a regulatory source. Nearly two months have passed since GM signed a deal to sell its […]
