In this context, the correct figures for China's industrial production have gone unnoticed. This has increased by 13.8% in September year on year, according to BNS.

In addition, concerns about the debt crisis in Europe grew yesterday and weigh Surles markets payday loan lenders. The German Minister of Economics Wolfgang Schäuble has indeed warned that the EU summit to be held in Brussels Sunday will not lead to a definitive solution to the debt crisis.

• Central banks have put out the fire. Policy is to act.

To rebound, stock markets were expecting a strong gesture. A kind of kick in the bottom of the pool after the distressing spectacle of the leaders of member countries of the euro unable to agree on rescue Greece. The first impetus was given by central banks that have decided to tackle the funding problems of European banks. By providing all the liquidity they need dollars, they have the most urgent and avoided a new banking crisis. But the most difficult tasks lie ahead.For central banks are independent organizations, they therefore have the flexibility of movement that do not have the seventeen Member States of the euro. Now it is in the field of European governance, the ability of states to reduce their debt and the solidity of the European financial stability that is expected the euro area. Subjects whose implementation is far from certain and have not finished putting markets under pressure.

• Focus on growth, defensive stocks do not pay more.

The crash of August brought down one of the last great stock market myth: the resilience of defensive stocks in times of crisis. The numbers speak for themselves: Veolia Environnement and Suez, specializing in utilities, a sector traditionally very defensive, yielded 42 and 20% over the last three months.EDF and GDF Suez lost their next 18 and 12%. France Telecom, Vivendi and Vinci also fell sharply. During the summer, these values ​​have not only shown no ability to resist, but they often fell as much as "cyclical" as Lafarge, ArcelorMittal, Saint-Gobain or Peugeot. The only values ​​that really are resilient growth companies in these emerging countries have low debt and strong brands. LVMH is the case, Essilor International, SEB, Air Liquide, Bic or Hermes International. The clear market preference for growth stocks at the expense of defense is not surprising in times of crisis. It is precisely because investors fear a slowdown in the richer countries, that growth is so sought after by scholars.The famous guru of Wall Street, the American Peter Lynch, who long prospered the famous Magellan fund, has shown: in the long run, only the values ​​of growth are able to enrich shareholders. His motto: there is no fortune by multiplying the stock market moves, but the success by joining the best companies at the time.

• Economists fear a growing recession in the United States.

The euro crisis is not the only concern of the operators. According to a survey by the Wall Street Journal on a panel of 53 economists, they believe that there is one chance in three that the United States fell into recession in the next twelve months. This sharp deterioration in business expectations is a bad omen.American economists believe the Fed will be reactive at its meeting on 20 September, but they doubt the effectiveness of measures taken to revive the business. The survey, closely watched by traders on Wall Street, the trend weakens. Especially when we know that this feeling is shared by consumers, which contributes 70% to U.S. GDP.

With current technology, there is room for six new HD channels. Three lines are planned for the bonus of Canal +, TF1 and M6, and three others could be attributed to competitors. With the new standard DVBT-2, it will be possible to disseminate, not six but ten. The problem is that it was not until late 2013 or early 2014 for manufacturers LG, Sony, Samsung … sell TVs with standard DVBT-2. The French who are equipped with new TVs from 2005 to 2011 to receive the TNT are not ready to change to accommodate new channels payday loan no faxing.

Reasoned opinion on September 20

This equation is complicated by the question of the future media landscape and the allocation of bonus channels. But Michel Boyon, the president of CSA, must make a report on the subject to François Fillon, late August or early September. Michel Boyon has several solutions.

The first is to allow the launch of three bonus channels (Canal 20, Paris Première and LCI) in the current standard from 1 December 2012. The second is to allow the launch of these channels but with the new standard. Consequently, many channels exist but would be seen by any viewer, because there will be no television adapted. The third is to freeze the PAF with 19 free channels until 2014, when the arrival of new TVs and a full stop advertising on France Televisions. This would suit TF1 and M6, which argued for a break. But Canal Plus, who wants to launch its free channel Canal 20 in late 2011, could attack the decision to the State Council. It is Brussels that could mediate the dilemma. On 20 September the Commission will issue a reasoned opinion, or it's likely that it opposes these bonus channels.

This is great news for the Norwegian continental shelf. As a result of declining reserves and the absence of findings sufficient to replace the volumes extracted, the Scandinavian country's oil production has been declining since the peak in 2001 cash advance to savings account. It is now significantly lower than 2 million barrels per day (bpd), against 3 million a decade ago.

But the oil industry is the backbone of the Norwegian economy. The oil is a state monopoly, managed on a sustainable development perspective.

Boost production

In 2006, according to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, the oil sector accounted for 26% of the value added of the country.The same year, Norway ranked fifth in the world ranking of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the tenth in that of oil-producing countries. This discovery is very good news for Norway, but also for farmers who had to manage the decrease in production.

The deposit Aldous Major South is owned 40% by Statoil, which shares ownership with the state-owned Norwegian Petoro (30%), another Norwegian Det norske oljeselskap (20%), and Swedish Lundin (10% ). The information was applauded by investors: Det norske oljeselskap action jumped from 21% to the opening of the Oslo Stock Exchange and that of Statoil 1.9%, while Lundin clinching 6.5 % in Stockholm.

The cold snap of the second quarter mainly due to a decline of 0.7% of household consumption. "This is the highest in fifteen years and the third largest drop in consumption in fifty years," notes Laurence Boone, chief economist for Europe Bofa Merrill Lynch. The end of the scrapping weighed heavily on automobile purchases.But the damage is deeper: "Households have reduced their spending in all positions in industrial goods," notes Catherine Stephan, at BNP Paribas.

Now, with an asset growth of 1.4% since early 2011, observers doubt the capacity of France to meet its objectives over the next two years. Jennifer McKeown at Capital Economics, expects no more than 1.5% in 2011, far from the 2% of the government. BNP Paribas, it is hardly more optimistic, showing 1.7%. "To achieve a growth of 1.8% throughout the year, it takes a minium that GDP grew by 0.5% in the third and fourth quarters," said Philippe Waechter, Natixis AM. This is exactly what INSEE predicted in June, before the market crisis.But "given the surveys suggesting a slowdown in July, balances that are a priori not unique and shock the financial markets, an increase of 0.5% in the third quarter was the highest of the range, "he says.

Tax loopholes

Under these conditions, the forecast of 2.25% of GDP growth for 2012, on which the budget was to be built next year, is totally obsolete. "This year we will be online," however, assured Baroin RTL on Friday, saying that "this second quarter, disappointing that the first course, which was far ahead was anticipated."For the Minister of Economy, therefore, "it does not change the matrix on which we are working on the budget."

This position should change Aug. 24, at the meeting at the Elysee, presided over by Nicolas Sarkozy, to wedge the new budgetary decisions. At that time, many expect a downward revision of growth forecasts that will involve … an upward revision of cost savings! "We will no matter what the objective of reducing the public deficit to 5.7% of GDP in 2011 and 4.6% in 2012 to reach the 3% in 2013," insists there be tireless in the entourage the budget minister, Valérie Pécresse. The equation is simple. "A lower growth of 0.25 points in 2011 will not prevent Bercy to meet its objectives for the year. However, at current rates, the deficit is moving more towards 4% of GDP in 2013, "calculates Laurence Boone."To return to the 3% target should be achieving 20 billion in additional savings over two years."

So far, the government planned to cut 3 billion in tax loopholes. He will have to change gear. Philippe Marini, rapporteur of the budget in the Senate, calls for 6 to 10 billion in additional savings. If the final figure is not stalled, the method is refined: there will be a general plane of the tax loopholes, coupled with the removal of some of them, for the sake of "tax justice" according to Bercy. Niches affecting corporate tax for large companies are in the sights and the tax on real estate gains could be reviewed upwards. No question, however, to one year of presidential, touching the 5.5% VAT in catering. A niche that cost 3 billion each year and the economic effects, however, uncertain.

The race against Barack Obama committed by a deadline, a week today. Established by Congress to 14.294 billion dollars, the upper limit of U.S. debt has been reached in mid-May and, according to its own calculations, the Treasury will no longer meet its obligations vis-à-vis its creditors on Aug. 2. It will no longer pay its bills or not the officials. And two days later, on August 4, it must be replaced for 87 billion of bonds maturing.

• What would happen in the absence of agreement?

The United States currently receive the highest rating (triple A) to the three major rating agencies, allowing them to borrow at market interest rates particularly advantageous. They would automatically degraded.Standard & Poor's and Moody's warned them in July: the risk of default will result in a sanction. The interest charged by investors to lend to the United States would go up instantly. The Democrats do not hesitate to the argument.

China, the first holder of U.S. Treasuries with 1.16 trillion dollars in May, also has a strong appeal for Washington to protect its interests. "We hope the U.S. government will take concrete measures to build confidence in international financial markets," said Chinese foreign exchange administration.

Deterioration of the debt of the United States when Europe is in turmoil, subject to the constant pressure of these rating agencies, would inevitably have consequences on chain U.S. and international financial institutions, which must be able to pledge AAA-rated assets to get themselves ready. The credibility of the country abroad would be tainted, as well as the presidency of Barack Obama. All this would jeopardize U.S. economic activity – and, by implication, the world. Already, the earthquake in Japan penalizes industry, unemployment remains high and the Conference Board provides a "slow growth". A default could dramatically worsen things.

• What is blocking the negotiations?

The Prime Minister asked the members' confidence to continue to deal with the crisis and the deficit, avoid bankruptcy and ensure the maintenance of Greece in the core of the euro "was heard.The statesman had also explained that the government is committed to "putting all his strength to overcome the crisis (…) there is a perspective, a path set, we have the support and assistance of the international community and the European Union with a loan mammoth. "

This vote was also welcomed by the President of the European Commission. José Manuel Barroso said that "the vote tonight in the Greek Parliament removes an element of uncertainty into an already very difficult. This is good news for Greece and the European Union as a whole. "

For its part, the new finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos, has committed to go beyond the requirements of the European Union and International Monetary Fund, to address his country.He said Athens' needs a parallel restructuring plan "that is consistent with the objectives set by the troika, but also to enable" better on the budget, growth and social justice. "

But before that Greece must vote before June 30, the austerity plan that provides savings of 28.4 billion and 50 billion privatization until 2015. Has yet to convince the public. In fact, the call of "outraged" Greek camp to parliament, several thousand protesters gathered outside Parliament to protest against the policies of austerity and privatization of government booed the vote of confidence from Parliament.
