To improve your experience update it here News National Small business has concerns with SA budget By AAP11 47am Jun 19, 2019Facebook Tweet Mail The small business sector has raised concerns over planned road infrastructure projects in South Australia, calling on the government to reassess how it deals with business owners. We have seen businesses go broke because access is cut off and here we have a raft of new projects in the latest state budget threatening to smash small businesses, Mr Chapman said. Mr Chapman said the government could allocate a percentage of the total funding for each project to a small business contingency fund. The government needs to look at creating a pool of funds from the infrastructure budgets which could be allocated to individual small businesses by an independent panel. (news.financializer.com).

starvation wages: Instead she attacked how Amazon treats its employees, claiming the e-commerce giant's practices of paying starvation wages and stripping them of their ability to access health care, contribute to Jeff Bezos's personal wealth, according to CNN. Amazon shot back, saying that Ocasio-Cortez is just wrong and that Amazon is a leader on pay starting at 15 an hour. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dodged the question of whether Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos would still be a billionaire under her political prescriptions. We also lobby to raise federal min wage, the company said. Ocasio-Cortez's insinuation that Amazon does not provide health coverage for its employees is incorrect, or at least incomplete, since it does provide health benefits for full-time employees, though not for many contractors. So, who's right Facts First While 15 an hour does not meet the threshold of a livable wage for the average American, and Amazon paid zero federal taxes in 2017 and 2018, those are not the sole reasons for Bezos' massive fortune.

deutsche: Rock-bottom expectations give him scope to spring a positive surprise, according to Global Times China. At Deutsche's annual general meeting last month, Sewing pledged tough cutbacks to reinvigorate profitability. The Deutsche Bank boss has seen the German lender's market value shrivel to just 13 billion euros 14.6 billion . Now he is preparing to take the axe to its underperforming investment bank. The bank's equities and fixed income trading businesses, particularly in the US, are prime targets. The question is how much this would cost. Deutsche may earmark risk-weighted assets worth 50 billion euros - about a fifth of the investment bank's total - to be wound down or sold, the Financial Times reported. (news.financializer.com).

patent royalties: Photo AFP US Senator Marco Rubio is reportedly trying to stop Huawei from seeking patent royalties in US courts in a continued effort to destroy Huawei, according to Global Times China. This move will tarnish the US' reputation as a fair market and hurt the spirit of the law. The exhibition features cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. And the old world, led by conservative American elites, will very likely collapse if the new legislation filed by Rubio is passed by the US Congress, analysts and lawyers warned. The move followed Huawei's demand for 1 billion in license fees from major US carrier Verizon, the report said. Rubio, seen as a Republican hawk focused on China, filed legislation on Monday to prevent the Chinese tech giant from seeking damages for patent related issues, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

gasoline prices: With Angela Merkel's coalition hanging by a thread, the possibility of a Green chancellor is a hot topic in Berlin, according to The Japan Times. The party overtook her Christian Democrat-led bloc in polls this month. Today, the party has a legitimate shot at governing Europe's largest economy. Robert Habeck, the stubble-cheeked Green co-chairman, would defeat Merkel's heir apparent in a contest to lead Germany. ; That raises the question of how the nation would be run by a party that in 1998 proposed tripling gasoline prices and, in 2013, suggested banning meat in canteens every Thursday. The Greens are still in part a prohibition party that wants to use strict regulation to steer the economy, said Carsten Brzeski, chief economist at ING Germany. Even though the Greens now are a mainstream party for urban professionals, many investors still get the jitters. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

lawyers: Trial lawyers, he said, are the only ones who shout out and scream for people who don't have the ability to do it for themselves. ; His visit to Highland Park, a neighborhood with Spanish Colonial mansions and residents including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, is becoming routine, according to The Japan Times. During the first six weeks of his campaign, roughly half of the more than a dozen fundraisers Biden headlined were in the opulent homes of prominent trial lawyers in cities including Atlanta, Boston and Chicago. The former vice president urged the lawyers in the room to go after pharmaceutical companies and told them their work mattered. On Tuesday, he was slated to attend two New York fundraisers held by attorneys, including one hosted at a personal injury law firm. But they could also leave him vulnerable to criticism that he's cozying up to wealthy donors who may want something in return if he becomes president, an argument that could undermine his efforts to portray his campaign as a battle to protect the middle class. Biden's ties to trial lawyers could help pad his campaign coffers for what's expected to be a long, bruising primary fight against nearly two dozen Democratic rivals. (news.financializer.com).

machinery investment: While consumer sentiment is on a weak note, the government left its assessment on private consumption unchanged, saying that private consumption is picking up, on the back of brisk sales of new automobiles and strong demand for consumer electronics, according to The Japan Times. Business investment is on the increase at a moderate pace, while weakness is seen recently in machinery investment, the report said, keeping its assessment unchanged. The Japanese economy is recovering at a moderate pace while weakness in exports and industrial production continues, said the monthly economic report for June compiled by the Cabinet Office and submitted to a meeting of relevant economic ministers. ; The government has used the same wording for two months in a row and maintained its view that the economy has continued to grow since December 2012, as consumer spending is recovering although production has been weighed down by the protracted U.S.-China trade friction.

policy statement: While Fawad Razaqzada, technical anlalyst at Forex, does not expect the central bank to announce a cut to key interest rates Wednesday, it is very likely to prepare the markets for a July trim, he said, according to Market Watch. If so, Razaqzada sees no reason for the bond market rally to falter Wednesday or at any time soon reflecting expectations for U.S. and other developed economies to slow. Draghi's comments came ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy statement due Wednesday. Lower bond yields and borrowing costs could be good news for stocks as well as commodities which offer no yield assets such as gold and silver, he said. On Tuesday, at an annual conference in Sintra, Portugal, Draghi said the ECB could roll out fresh stimulus as soon as its next policy meeting in July, which sent the U.S. dollar lower against the euro and boosted most major equity benchmarks.

stock market: Is this a motivation for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his cohorts to cut interest rates as they meet this week President Trump on Tuesday blasted Draghi because stimulus in Europe means a lower euro versus the dollar, giving an edge to European companies in their exports to the U.S. On the other hand, the U.S. stock market is encouraged by Trump's tweet of a very good phone call with President Xi of China and the news of an extended meeting with him at the G20, according to Market Watch.

street: Starting in 2021, State Street also plans to oppose the selection of members of board nominating committees at companies with no female board members, according to The Japan Times.
