France’s third biggest bank, Crédit Agricole, posted a much larger-than-expected third quarter loss, largely reflecting the price of selling off an unprofitable and costly Greek bank. The net loss of €2.85 billion ($3.63 billion) far exceeds analysts estimates. Revenue fell 32% to €3.43 billion. Stripping out one-off losses including a revaluation of its debt, costs associated with the sale of it Cheuvreux brokerage unit, and a write-down on its stake in Spain’s Bankinter, the bank had €716 million in net income.
The bulk of Crédit Agricole’s real net losses are due to the bank’s ill-fated foray into Greece. Nearly €2 billion in costs and losses are attributable to the disposal of Emporiki bank, which Crédit Agricole sold for €1 last month to Alpha Bank of Greece. The time and money spent in recession-hit Greece has proved unwise. Crédit Agricole invested more than €2 billion in 2006 in Emporiki—the least profitable of Greece’s top five banks at the time.

The Lady. 8 female products that make me glad I’m a guy – Guyism. It’s easy to be a guy. Men, for the most part, simply wake up and exist. We shave, shower and brush our teeth. When necessary, a man can be up and ready in seven minutes or better. Men have issues of their own but it’s an entirely different, and much more frightening, story for women. There’s a whole world of feminine care that I knew existed but never knew anything about. At home, women have an arsenal of lotions, scrubs, masks and creams. Women pull, pluck and smear hot wax on their bodies, and use alarming words like “exfoliate.” I’m not even going to get into products related to menstruation, childbirth and menopause.
