International banks used a record Spanish government bonds as collateral to obtain financing in the markets during the last week, suggesting an improvement in confidence in Spain as fears subside as the fourth largest economy in the euro zone could renege on obligations to pay its debt, according to the British newspaper Financial Times. “
In this sense, the short-term loans backed by Spanish bonds on repurchase agreements, the main financing tool in the euro area, amounted to 160,000 million euros last Wednesday, according to the platform Broker Tec intermediation cap.
In particular, the paper points out that most of the entities involved to guarantee Spanish bonds are domestic institutions, which have been the most difficulties have had access to funding.

“Spanish banks are highly dependent on loans from the European Central Bank (ECB) because of fears about the stability of the financial sector,” says the paper.
“This is a very positive sign for Spain to reduce its dependence on loans from the ECB;” said Don Smith, economist at Cap, quoin adds that “also represents an important step in the right direction for the Euro zone.”
In this regard, “Financial Times” says that a big reason behind this increased willingness to accept bonds as collateral Spanish endorsement by LCH.Clearnet and Murex, which offer coverage to any “defaults”.

In particular, LCH.Clearnet, the clearinghouse in London, launched its clearing services for Spanish government bonds and repose on 9 August.
On the other hand, Cava Madrid last month became the first Spanish institution to adhere to EurexRepo, the electronic marketplace related to Murex Clearing, the exchange operator controlled by Germany, Deutsche Bores.

However, Spanish bankers still perceive difficulties in obtaining financing. “There are now more cash for Spanish banks, but is highly selective, short-term and focused on the big names,” said a banker on condition of anonymity, adding, “this is the reason why that banks and try to find new markets.”
Latest figures show that Spanish banks borrowed money from the ECB for a record amount of 140,000 million euros last July.

Central Securities Depository, Inc. (DCV) of Chile and the Depository Trust and Clearing (DTCC, for its acronym in English) U.S. today announced they have signed an agreement that recognizes and strengthens their relationship and will provide the foundation for future collaboration.

“We are delighted to have this opportunity to bring a new level the relationship with the central securities depository of Chile, and to working with our Chilean colleagues in addressing the needs of their markets and customer support”

The objective of this collaborative venture, which will leverage technology and expertise of both organizations is to expand offerings and capabilities of DCV and DTCC. This will allow both organizations to leverage local market knowledge and develop broader offerings in Chile and throughout Latin America, at the same time reducing risks and lowering costs.

“Chile has one of the strongest economies in Latin America and represents a strong financial market and growth in the Americas,” said William B. Amity, president and chief operating officer of DTCC. “We are delighted to have this opportunity to bring a new level the relationship with the central securities depository of Chile, and to working with our Chilean colleagues in addressing the needs of their markets and support their customers.”

“We believe that this working relationship will give DCV some strategic advantages in fulfilling our mission to make the Chilean capital markets more efficient and attractive to capital market growth,” said Fernando Yates, Director General of DCV. “We expect to benefit from the experience, technology, scale and global reach of DTCC to assist in the growth of services for capital markets in Latin America.”

Previous discussions identified some possible areas of collaboration related to operational risk and business continuity. For example, CSD currently has data centers in different parts of Santiago, the capital and largest city in Chile. However, communications with backup sites located 500 kilometers from the city of Conception were destroyed and were deactivated during the earthquake of February 2010. DTCC DCV and believe there may be an opportunity to collaborate on issues of business community, leveraging of DTCC experience after 9 / 11 is the creation of redundant backup data centers.

The agreement announced today was developed after an invitation in December 2009 by the CSD to DTCC to make a capital investment of 10% and unify DCV Directory. By making this investment and join the Board of DCV, DTCC has demonstrated its commitment to the region and their high expectations for future cooperative efforts with DCV

Highly speculative, world stock markets are governed by the momentum of the underwriters of securities, rather than by realities on the behavior and performance indicators developed and emerging economies. Of course the hard data does not suit them to brokers, because then there would be no bubbles where opportunistic versed mounted and snatch it for, before bursting and being dragged by losses, and successfully overcome the dividends of others in the pocket.

Because speculators are betting always win-win, whether by simple paper-the betting money in hand and lonely dreamers are outdated, remember Dostoevsky prefer living in a delusion profitable or unsubstantiated optimism must be alert to indicators of real economies. The case is like betting on roulette, more like a stroke of luck to pull water to their mill, losing on the road when it appears on the board of the bag the rate of the company concerned.

However, beware. This is just simply printing more and more contained, but it is a half-truth. The truth is that, deep down, speculators, brokers or professional underwriters, deal understood to values, i.e. values “hidden” or privileged and confidential information of the indicators of those companies with high market value. In addition, these values are subject to purchase or sell, while approaching the periodic financial reports, quarterly, semiannual and annual. O according to a new placement.

The previous information allows you to buy or sell on time or before the announcement of the company. With trap, because the corridor is managed with the advancement. However, the other side is speculative, those that move beyond inflating the values of the real situation of enterprises. Alternatively, in some sectors of economies. There are also millions of records sold. However, both cases are classified as financial crimes. However, not always punished or reaches its ultimate consequences for the investigation to comment on this type of breach. Is it because they serve businesspersons, bankers and speculators, against which the State did not lash?

Protected or not, the fact is that the mechanisms are working even in the larger exchanges in the world (despite all the “locks” of governments) as the triad New York-Tokyo-London, or Frankfurt, Paris, etc. The first and most important, because it moves up 60 percent of world trade in values, about some 3,000 large companies in the second quoted an amount 50 percent below first.

We begin the analysis of the global economic situation and we do using the data of GDP of the strongest economies on the planet who has published the International Monetary Fund.

The data also highlight the supremacy of China against Japan, it is important to highlight that Brazil moves on Spain.

One of the Latin American countries with higher levels of growth from China to India that takes away from Spain ranked 8th in the ranking.

Thus, while China grows at a rate close to 10% and India makes it to 8%, Brazil has accumulated a 6.5% growth and is ranked ahead of Spain.

Some comparative data are not decisive but analyzed in isolation; the truth is that shows a shift in the sources of power, emerging economies appear to donate points to consolidate as more powerful development of this new cycle.

In May 2006, issued a press release that hit the Israeli economic environment. It was the purchase, by W. Buffet, 80% of the company Oscar, a maker of tools for the metalworking industry, for four billion dollars. The news, at that time, he realized a very important event and that certainly could be interpreted, rightly, as a show of confidence in the country’s industrial capacity.

However, we should remember that at that time the treatment the media gave Israel the transaction was such that it seemed that we were all fortunate. This led me to write at the time that “very nearly every one of us feel personally that was about to pocket some of that money and shared the honor of being chosen by the said investor to buy it ‘our’ company”.

Course and had passed while the impact of the transaction, re-entry to normal and the acceptance of that in the best, the most favored are the former owners of Oscar, while for the country and society can have meant a further step in the weakening of its ability to control their resources.

I came to mind this incident to reflect on what is happening with the discovery of large deposits of natural gas in the territorial waters of the country, news that has again placed as the subject of headlines.

Until recently, Israel was recognized as a country endowed with little natural resources, particularly energy resources. However, in the late 90s were discovered and put into operation a natural gas field (the Mari-B field) in territorial waters against Sakhalin, it is estimated that this site will remain productive until 2012 .

In early 2009 the same company that had explored and exploited the Mari-B field, is an American business consortium partners (Noble Energy) and Israeli (Derek, Asarco, Door Gas) – announced the discovery of a new field natural gas (field Tamar) off the coast of Haifa, estimating that would be able to meet the needs of the country for the next 15 years.

In addition, in June this year the company announced that the consortium said the new discoveries, including the field Leviathan, Israel would be entering a path to energy independence because it would have “sufficient local power for 100 years.”
Please note that Israel imports about eight million dollars to 9,000 annual energy commodities (oil, gas and coal, mostly), which represents almost 20% of total U.S. imports, excluding diamonds.

The world economy is recovering from its worst recession in decades, although some regions such as North America and Asia, recorded slower growth, according to a study released today by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC, for its acronym in English).

There was also a marked difference between the growth prospects of different regions. Globally, the economic sentiment indicator fell slightly from 104.1 in the second quarter of 2010 to 103.2 in the third quarter. This was in part a product of the fall in the indicators of two important regions, North America and Asia.

, the overall numbers continue to show substantial gains compared to the third quarter of 2009, when the global economic indicator was 79.6.

The Report of the Global Economy Quarterly was conducted by the If institute in Munich in cooperation with the ICC, for which questioned more than 1,100 experts in 166 countries.

Western Europe, whose economy seemed to be slowing in the previous report, had a surprise performance this quarter, with Germany as the engine of growth in the euro area thanks to rising exports.

In fact, Germany, with growth of 2.2 percent, had its strongest quarter since the reunification of Germany in 1990. However, the recession in Greece and the ongoing adjustment programs in Spain and restructuring in Portugal and Ireland temper Europe’s prospects.

Meanwhile, in North America, growth has slowed in the last quarter. High unemployment in the U.S., the weak private consumption and capital spending led to a less than satisfactory, according to experts consulted.

Meanwhile, there is evidence of a slowdown in the Chinese economy. While its growth rate remains impressive, the weakening of imports and retail sales, along with the Chinese government’s withdrawal of its expansionary monetary policy that we will have an economic slowdown in coming months.

In Africa, there is a strong contrast between South Africa and Kenya, which show positive signs, and other countries with a weak scenario, such as Tanzania, Gabon and Madagascar. South Africa received a boost from hosting the World Cup.

On trade and investment across borders, the study indicates that private consumption, which is key for growth in these areas, remains weak, influenced by high rates of unemployment. Another factor limiting trade is the lack of access to commercial financing in countries such as Spain, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania. These factors, in addition to the protectionist measures in countries like Germany, Denmark and Norway, contribute to the prospects for trade and investment are not the most positive.

It is important to know how to create a business plan. Your business plan could be a map for success, and must be prepared at the beginning of the business set. Sometimes it is necessary to obtain financing from lenders, and sometimes to attract private investors.

It is important to know how to create a business plan. Your business plan could be a map for success, and must be prepared at the beginning of the business set. For the business owner, creation, monitoring and adjusting the business plan can mean the difference between success and failure.

There are several basic areas to be included in any business plan, not necessarily in this order:

1. Objective of the company. Explain what it is, why it is needed, and the goals soon.
2. Business managers. Who will manage the firm and their qualifications?
3. Market Report. The analysis of the area of need. Analysis of the competition.
4. Description of the company. What will this company look and do.
5. Management Analysis. Who will lead the company, how they are organized, and how many people will be involved in management decisions.
6. Sales and Advertising. How is your business, product or service marketed and sold.
7. Products or Services. Descriptions.
8. Financial Information. How to finance the company, by whom, and how much is needed for two consecutive years with no income should happen. Insurance requirements.
9. Miscellaneous Information, Definitions, References, key personnel.

The business plan of the company is not a static element. Will change according to economic circumstances, global events and local changes. Bends with supply and demand, and be a kind of guide for corporate life. All adjustments should be made with concern for the outcome, the product or service, with an eye towards perfection. For a long-term viable and successful product, taking shortcuts or allowing the defect is not allowed.

The business plan must be formally organized, with a cover sheet, statement of objectives, and table of contents. The “guts” of the plan are information points listed above. After this, put in the relevant financial documents, such as loan information, equipment and supply list, balance sheet assets and liabilities, a summary balance point, and projections of revenue and increase profit. Includes estimates of the rooms of two to three years in advance, and the assumptions used to make projections.

A final portion of the Business Plan should include all tax documents, personal income of those most affected, legal documents, such as leases, franchises, licenses, and resumes of those who will run the business. Include any other information such as support staff and vendor commitments or promises in writing.

There are many places to find official designs for business plans, including on the Internet. Start with the Small Business Administration www.sba.gov for complete information on small business planning and resources. There are training courses, videos and pod casts of business information on the website, and details of contracts, franchise, grant money, licenses, taxes and more regulations. It is a good place to get around the information, but not the only place to get information on developing business plans and run a successful business organization.
