Aviso: Esta noticia tiene más de un año. Última actualización: 22/07/2012 MADRID, 22 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) - Un estudio realizado por el grupo Tax Justice Network ha revelado que existen entre 17 y 26 billones de euros escondidos en paraísos fiscales, que habrían aportado 230.000 millones de euros en concepto de recaudación por impuestos.

El grupo, dirigido por el antiguo economista principal de la consultora McKinsey y experto en paraísos fiscales, James Henry, estima que estas cantidades se encuentran concentradas en "jurisdicciones enormemente proteccionistas", como Suiza o las islas Caimán, con la ayuda de bancos privados que tienen el objetivo de atraer a los llamados "individuos de alto valor neto". La riqueza de estas élites económicas, según Henry, está "protegida "por un grupo de profesionales, muy bien pagado y disciplinado, que se aprovechan de una economía global cada vez más transfronteriza y con menos fricciones".

Top 5 Factors Affecting Exchange Rates

Like any commodity, the value of a currency rises and falls in response to the forces of supply and demand. Everyone needs to spend, and consumer spending directly affects the money supply (and vice versa). The supply and demand of a country’s money is reflected in its foreign exchange rate. When a country’s economy falters, consumer spending declines and trading sentiment for its currency turns sour, leading to a decline in that country’s currency against other currencies with stronger economies.

French suspect Chinese link in industrial spying at Renault

A source at the Elysée palace said secret services were "investigating a Chinese link" in the scandal after the company suspended three senior executives for allegedly committing "very serious faults". All three were working on Renault's high-profile electric car programme and one as a member of the company's management committee. If the allegations were confirmed, it would be one of the biggest and most potentially damaging cases of commercial espionage in recent years. Tonight a French magazine claimed the three men had leaked information about the development of batteries for the electric vehicles that Renault hopes to put into production in the next 18 months.

The Winners Curse: Too Big to Succeed? by Robert Arnott, Lillian Wu

This assumes that governments, hence taxpayers, must foot the bill when these Top Dogs become seriously ill, while reinforcing a view that the Top Dogs, whose failure might do systemic damage, should be heavily regulated to mitigate the damage that they might cause. The flip side of this view receives scant attention: companies can become “too big to succeed.”

Merkel Hardens Resistance to Euro-Area Debt Sharing. Chancellor Angela Merkel hardened her resistance to euro-area debt sharing to resolve the region’s financial crisis, setting Germany on a collision course with its allies at a summit of European leaders this week.

Merkel Hardens Resistance to Euro-Area Debt Sharing

Merkel, speaking to a conference in Berlin today as Spain announced it would formally seek aid for its banks, dismissed “euro bonds, euro bills and European deposit insurance with joint liability and much more” as “economically wrong and counterproductive,” saying that they ran against the German constitution. “It’s not a bold prediction to say that in Brussels most eyes -- all eyes -- will be on Germany yet again,” Merkel said. “I say quite openly: when I think of the summit on Thursday I’m concerned that once again the discussion will be far too much about all kinds of ideas for joint liability and far too little about improved oversight and structural measures.” ‘Wrong Direction’

As I walked around, I was drawn to nothing. Well, not nothing exactly, there were lots of handsome private school boys to look at, and they were far more interesting than the desks full of free stickers from the Health Department. So, rather than using the opportunity to dig deep and research potential careers, I decided I knew exactly what I was interested in and headed straight for the Defense Force display.

I squeezed through the throngs of blazered boys toward the front of the desk where a defence force guy was speaking about all the cool things you got to do in army training.
