british shareholders: Ryanair said that to comply with these regulations it would have to restrict the rights of British shareholders, who control about 20% of the company's stock, to bring them into line with other non-EU investors, according to The Guardian. It said this would reduce the risk that the proportion of its shares held by EU nationals falls from around 55% to below half. EU regulations require that airlines flying under a European licence must be majority-owned and controlled by shareholders from the trading bloc. Ryanair's London-listed shares fell by more than 2% by midday on Monday. While he has largely focused on the potential negative impact on airlines flying between the UK and EU, Ryanair confirmed that its investors would also be affected. The outspoken chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has been a vocal critic of the government's handling of Brexit, warning that no deal is increasingly likely. (news.financializer.com).

stock price: A Nairobi-bound Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed minutes after takeoff from the country's capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, killing all 157 on board, according to The Japan Times. The same model, flown by Lion Air, crashed off the coast of Indonesia in October, killing all 189 on board. The drop around 7 percent in late morning trade wiped nearly 16 billion off Boeing's market value, marking an abrupt reversal for a stock that had been the runaway top performer this year in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. ; With a stock price near 400 a share, it was by far the largest drag on the price-weighted blue chip index on Monday. The grounding of the 737 MAX by China, Indonesia, and Ethiopian are near-term reputational negatives for Boeing that could impact sales, particularly if the FAA follows suit and also grounds the plane, Cai von Rumohr, analyst at Cowen & Co., said in a research note, referring to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Since U.S. stocks began rebounding from the financial crisis in March 2009, Boeing shares have delivered a total return, including reinvested dividends, of nearly 1,600 percent, four times the performance of the full index. Still, von Rumohr and other analysts said the accident should not pose a long-term risk to a stock that has delivered the richest total return among the 30 stocks in the Dow over the 10 years of the current bull market.

use statement: This is a false choice, according to The Independent. In either scenario, the chancellor is proposing spending an additional 20bn on a mix of public services, tax cuts and investment. It's been widely briefed that the chancellor intends to use the statement to offer MPs a choice block May's deal, and a 20bn war chest will be used to counter the economic hit of a no-deal Brexit; vote May's deal through, and that money can be used to end austerity. Setting the level of spending without regard to Brexit and the kind of Brexit that takes place is fiscally irresponsible. You can form your own view.

tax breaks: We are one of the best, if not the best, models of place-based economic development in the country, said David Ehrenberg, chief executive of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp, according to The Independent. The sprawling complex is poised to get another boost as a federally designated opportunity zone. Today the former industrial site is home to scores of tech startups and small-scale manufacturers, plus a Russ & Daughters outpost where Scottish smoked salmon goes for 44 per pound. Created as part of President Donald Trump's 2017 tax overhaul, the zones are intended to steer private investment into economically distressed areas by granting generous tax breaks. So why is the already-thriving Navy Yard one of them One factor is that the zones were selected based on economic data from the 2010 census, when the yard wasn't nearly as busy as it is today. There are 306 designated zones in the five boroughs. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

shareholders: But the company strongly urged shareholders to oppose the return of Dunkerton, who stepped back from the business a year ago, according to The Guardian. His plan which Superdry directors described as a strategy that would fail also involves installing Peter Williams, the chairman of the online fashion retailer Boohoo, as a non-executive director. The struggling fashion brand, which has posted a series of profit warnings, said it would hold a shareholder meeting on 2 April in London, following a demand from Dunkerton and James Holder, who together founded the firm in 2003. Julian Dunkerton has little chance of winning round Superdry's board Nils Pratley Read more In a strongly worded statement, Superdry said Dunkerton's return would undermine morale, lead to dysfunctional relationships at senior levels and cause the departures of key personnel.

suicide note: It's utter bollocks, according to The Guardian. If Britain proceeds with giving effect to what future historians will legitimately describe as the longest suicide note in history by leaving the union, the cold, hard reality is that the mathematics simply don't stack up in terms of credible economic alternatives to Europe. This is the nuttiest of the many nutty arguments that have emerged from the Land of Hope and Glory set now masquerading as the authentic standard-bearers of British patriotism. Much as any Australian, Canadian and New Zealand governments of whichever persuasion would do whatever they could to frame new free-trade agreements with the UK, the bottom line is that 65 million of us do not come within a bull's roar of Britain's adjacent market of 450 million Europeans. They virtually single-handedly sank the Doha round in 2009. For its economic self-interest, as well as the wider political interests of the west, Britain should remain in the EU As for India, good luck! India's trade and commerce bureaucracy is the most mercantilist and outright protectionist in the world. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

combustible cladding: Only 10 of the 173 private buildings discovered with combustible cladding have been fixed while rows rumble on over who should foot a repair bill expected to rise well beyond 500m, according to The Guardian. In isolated cases, freeholders and developers have offered to pay, but far more often they are refusing and, 20 months after the Grenfell Tower fire claimed 72 lives, are defying the housing secretary, James Brokenshire, who insists it is their responsibility. Amid growing anger that too little is being done to guarantee the safety of tens of thousands of people living in private flats, leaseholders in London, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester have established the UK Cladding Action Group. The launch of the national campaign reflects a sharp contrast in how private and social housing is being fixed. Of the affected council and housing association blocks, 79% have works under way or have been fixed compared with 11% of the private towers, according to figures published last week. Similar cladding to that which helped spread the fire at Grenfell has been used on 433 high-rise residential and public buildings in England. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

autonomy rights: The Arakan Army AA has in recent months mounted several attacks on security forces and officials in its struggle for more autonomy and rights for Rakhine people, according to The Japan Times.

transformation project: True, leaders generally enjoy favorable ratings during the grace period of their first three months in office, according to Deutsche Welle. AMLO's predecessors, however, actually laid down clear policy indicators during that time. Mitofsky, a polling institution, claims that after 100 days in office, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador AMLO and his left-wing nationalist Fourth Transformation project enjoy a 67 percent approval rating among Mexican voters. Filipe Calderon, a conservative, began his war on drugs, and Enrique Pena Nieto of the centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party PRI found compromise with political opponents, enabling changes to the constitution and thus, among other things, opening up the oil sector, as well as reforming the education system. Lopez Obrador has trashed everything that has happened in Mexico over the last 30 years, and his black-and-white world view plays well with his base.

trump: Deutsche is regarded as a bank of global importance, but has been plagued by three years of losses, boardroom battles, money laundering issues and its role as the biggest lender to the Trump business empire, according to The Guardian. Despite Germany's industrial dominance in Europe, it has only one bank in the continent's top 20, and Berlin is understood to be keen to create a larger national champion.

The combination of the two banks mean that Deutsche, currently fifth biggest, and Commerzbank, currently 23rd, will become Europe's second biggest bank and only marginally behind HSBC. Deutsche Bank's chief executive Christian Sewing was seen to be the main opponent of a merger, but investor pressure Deutsche' shares are trading at around 7.68 compared with 32 five years ago is understood to have forced his hand.

During his state of the union speech last week to Chinese communist party officials in Beijing's Great Hall of the People, it was clear that Li Keqiang, the prime minister, was worried this situation might go into reverse. By 2017 that figure had fallen to a little under one in 30, according to the World Bank. He told the audience that GDP growth would be lower this year at between 6% and 6.5%, down from 6.6% in 2018 and the slowest rate in nearly 30 years. He instructed his officials to reduce their spending to avoid accusations of cronyism. The prime minister emphasised that officials needed to be mindful of job losses in the industrial sector and put more money into retraining schemes. (news.financializer.com).

media organizations: Japan has been late to the party insofar as podcasts are concerned, and Spotify seems to be looking at making a grab for a piece of this untapped domestic market, according to The Japan Times. The music streaming giant recently unveiled several platform-exclusive programs for the domestic market, highlighted by The Nakajima Hiroto Show Life Album and Pop Life The Podcast, which is hosted by Soichiro Tanaka and Yuki Mihara. The growth of podcasts in recent years has taken on a life of its own, with a wide variety of media organizations pouring resources into the creation of such content in an attempt to target a younger demographic. ; Spotify's investment in the industry underlines just how serious such content is being viewed abroad. Both programs appear to attempt to replicate a model that has taken off in the West in Japan, even though the local landscape has also evolved in its own way. As interest in podcasts started to grow in the mid-2000s, several creators managed to produce episodes on a regular basis that garnered a following. Spotify's investment in such content isn't the first time a company has tried to jump on the podcast bandwagon in Japan. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

job creation: The figures also will be revised. ; Job creation was the slowest since September 2017, which adds to widespread reports from firms nationwide complaining that worker shortages are beginning to impede growth in their businesses, according to The Japan Times. Despite the drop, the unemployment rate fell and hourly wages saw their biggest gains in nearly a decade, more evidence of the tight labor market. But after the unusually dramatic swing in the critical monthly data, economists whose forecasts missed badly hastened to say that underlying employment trends remained strong, and they highlighted the hefty boost in worker pay. The sudden collapse in hiring including deep job cuts in the construction retail and transportation sectors is sure to revive worries about the dwindling supply of American workers. Economists had been projecting a far stronger 173,000 gain. U.S. employers added just 20,000 net new positions for the month, only a fraction of what economists had been expecting, while unemployment fell two-tenths to 3.8 percent, its lowest level since October, according to the closely watched Labor Department report.

security assistance: In recent months, Ruston has been at the sharp end of trying to fix that jetting to-and-fro between Australia and far-flung Pacific Islands, as part of Prime Minister Scott Morrison's step-up in the region, according to The Japan Times. The policy includes more aid, more security assistance, more diplomats working in the region and, crucially, more face-to-face contacts. I think we would have to accept some criticism, Anne Ruston, Australia's minister for international development and the Pacific, said Friday. ; We have perhaps not put as much attention and effort into our own region as we should of. It is, in large part, a response to Beijing's growing economic, political and military activity in the region. It has certainly, more recently, been forced to be refocused back onto our own region. I think we've had our focus gazed much further afield for a very long time, said Ruston. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

autumn winter: The minuscule bags were initially sent out as invitations to the brand's show and weren't for sale, but they did point towards a developing or shrinking trend in accessories, according to The Guardian. When it comes to bags, petite purses rule this season. The Mini Le Chiquito is a small-scale version of Jacquemus's Le Chiquito bag, a runaway hit for autumn/winter 18. Forget micro it's all about the nano. With a long chain, and described as an elegant homage to 1920s makeup boxes it is available in two colours both currently sold out online. The Mini Le Chiquito, with room to hold little more than a couple of mints or a single Air Pod earphone, looked like a joke but then French fashion house Louis Vuitton launched its own nano bag, designed to hold no more than a lipstick.
