Green Investment Bank er niet in slaagt om te investeren in Schotland

The Koyal Group Reviews(Sept. 09 2013 ) - De UK's vlaggenschip Green Investment Bank (GIB) niet in Schotland, investeren is ondanks het wordt gevestigd in Edinburgh, omdat het niet kan "winstgevend" regelingen ten noorden van de grens vinden, MSPs hebben verteld.

Er is ook bezorgdheid dat de 4 miljard pond bank Schotse base slechts een "back office", met het grootste deel van besluitvorming, personeel en hoog inkomen gelegen in Londen is.

De bank vorig jaar geopend en £635 miljoen in groene energie regelingen rond de Britse gepompt in de eerste vijf maanden, maar slechts £580,000 in Schotland, heeft belegd in een ketel regeling.

Kleinere gemeenschapsprojecten noorden van de grens lijken ingesteld op over het hoofd gezien, ondanks een station van de Schotse regering voor het genereren van het equivalent van alle van Schotland's elektriciteit behoeften van groene energie tegen 2020.

De bank bazen vertelde MSPs op Holyrood de economie Comité gisteren dat zij had moeite om te identificeren "winstgevende" regelingen in Schotland, maar drong aan dat zij had een "pipeline" van projecten die toekomstige investeringen in Schotland zou zien.

Nationalistische MSP Dennis Robertson zei er leek te worden "kans en potentieel" voor de bank in Schotland, maar hij voegde eraan toe: "Ik was niet iets dat eigenlijk daar in de pijpleiding nu in termen van investeringen gehoord." LEES VOLLEDIGE ARTIKEL OP SCOTSMAN.COM

Murray issues 'euro' warning - QUORA

The Koyal Group Reviews (Sept. 07 2013) - Former Commonwealth Bank chief executive David Murray says the Australian economy is walking down the road paved by the economies of Europe, unless the incoming Federal Government introduces drastic reforms to lift productivity.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies conference yesterday, Mr Murray, also former Future Fund chairman, said despite Australia's relative prosperity, it was not "overly dramatic" to compare it to parts of the EU.

He said as a nation Australia could not take its triple-A credit rating for granted.
"In fact, it's a weak triple-A already," Mr Murray said.

"(For example) our high foreign liability to gross domestic product creates a huge vulnerability when we're so dependent on foreign bond holders, and bond holders can revolt.
"We are copying the things that we saw in Europe that have created structural difficulties so they can't grow, or get themselves out of difficulty.
"(In Australia) it comes through over regulation, debt-funded entitlement vote buying by politicians - all the structural rigidities in the system.

"But we have a moment in time now to lift productivity for a great future, before it gets too difficult."

Mr Murray, in Perth to deliver a keynote address at the AMEC conference, steered the Commonwealth Bank through privatisation in the 1990s, and is considered an elder statesman of the banking sector.
He said the imperative for Australia today was to change the shape of government expenditure.

"We need to spend on more valuable things, but reduce government expenditure overall," he said. "We need a major lift in productivity to deal with a global economy that's still lacklustre, a change in emphasis in China and a shift in our fortunes away from massive investment in mining."

Speaking on the WA economy, Mr Murray said promoting a more flexible economy, through rising productivity, should be front-and-centre for WA.

"In WA, where the budget is so vulnerable to a change in circumstances (you) need the most flexible system, and we have one of the least flexible systems in the world," Mr Murray said.
"The prospects for the world at large are not as robust as they were. And for China, its economy is simply maturing. Don't worry that people say 'oh no, China is at 4 per cent growth - that's 4 per cent of a lot.
"There are no problems for us with that. But it is not where our expectations have been."
