China's Fosun to take control of Thomas Cook's




China’s Fosun Tourism Group is in advanced talks with Thomas Cook Group Plc (TCG.L) and its lenders regarding a combined 750 million-pound ($940 million) fund-raising by the world’s oldest travel company.

The proposed deal would give Fosun Tourism control of the British firm’s core packaged-tour business and minority interest in its airline business, marking one of the most significant purchases of a British company by a Chinese group in years.

Thomas Cook, worth roughly $4 billion after it debuted in June 2007, currently has a market value of about $255 million and has seen its stock more than halve in value so far this year.

Chinese tariffs and now Mexican tariffs — could take them two steps back

Image
Mexican tariffs Estimates from the Tax Foundation, said that while the Trump administration’s 2017 tax cuts created about 380,000 full-time equivalent jobs, adding tariffs on Mexican products to the existing tariffs on Chinese goods could eliminate almost 610,000 full-time equivalent jobs from the U.S. workforce. By itself, a 5% tariff on Mexican goods could drain off approximately 39,000 full time equivalent jobs, the Tax Foundation said in an analysis on the heels of the Mexican tariff news. Trump announced plans escalating tariffs against Mexico if the country cannot stop illegal immigration. It’s the latest front in Trump’s trade disputes. The administration has already imposed a 25% tariff on $200 billion in Chinese imports. China is coming back with retaliatory tariffs on $60 billion of American imports. Researchers and business groups say companies and consumers are the real victims. America imported $346.5 billion in products from Mexico last year, acc...

FCA proposes ban on cryptocurrency products

Image
The UK’s markets regulator has proposed a ban on financial instruments linked to digital cryptocurrencies, warning that such products could cause huge losses for retail consumers unlikely to understand their risks or value. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said products such as derivatives and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that reference crypto-assets were “ill-suited” to small investors. It cited their “extreme volatility”, the difficulty in valuing them, consumers’ patchy understanding of what they were buying and the increased risk of financial crime. Investors might “suffer harm from sudden and unexpected losses if they invest in these products”, the FCA said, estimating that a ban would benefit consumers to the tune of between £75m and £234.3m a year.

UK begins issuing non-EU passports

Image
Change took into account the first deadline of Brexit, March 29 Despite the impasse in approving the Brexit agreement, the UK government started this week to issue passports without the name of the European Union on the cover. The new documents had been prepared on the basis of the first deadline set for the country's departure from the bloc, March 29, which was changed to April 12 and now, at the request of Prime Minister Theresa May, it can be extended to 30 June. The Interior Ministry, however, has explained that it will continue issuing the old passports until the end of the inventory. The document is to undergo a further change in late 2019, with the gradual return of the blue color used in the UK to 1988, rather than the red that characterizes EU passports. May is attempting a further postponement of Brexit due to the lack of approval of the "divorce" agreement by the British Parliament, which has already rejected the text on three occasions and also re...
