☆ UK’s leaky water model faces a growing storm
  + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Neil Unmack | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +8 min
The fallout raises two big questions: whether the regulatory regime works, and whether Britain’s water companies should still be privately owned. Average UK water bills are 448 pounds in the current year, versus 409 pounds in Scotland. One option would be to squeeze water companies – cutting allowed prices, and imposing bigger penalties on those that allow leaks. For the sector as a whole, Ofwat assumes equity comprises 45% of water companies’ 94 billion pound RCV, or 42 billion pounds.

The government may take over heavily indebted Thames Water, a hapless privately held utility unable to fund capital needs that may stretch to 10 billion pounds.

☆ China cuts medium-term lending rate as youth unemployment hits new record high
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Michelle Toh | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
The People’s Bank of China lowered its key policy rate — the medium-term lending rate — from 2.75% to 2.65%. It was the first such rate reduction since last August, and largely expected following a surprise cut by the central bank Tuesday to China’s seven-day reverse repo rate. The trimming of the repo rate — also by 0.1 percentage points to 1.9% — marked its first since August. Urban youth unemployment — already at record levels — hit another new high in May, reaching 20.8%. “They need [economic] growth.”The youth unemployment rate could get even worse when a record 11.6 million college students enter the job market this summer, as estimated by the education ministry earlier this year.

☆ Australia to triple size of Macquarie Island Marine Park to protected area larger than Germany
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( Helen Regan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —Australia plans to triple the size of an ecologically important marine park and close off an area larger than Germany to fishing and mining, the government announced Monday, protecting millions of vulnerable seabirds and animals. The remote Macquarie Island Marine Park, located off Australia’s southeastern coast between Tasmania and Antarctica in the Southern Ocean, is set to expand to 475,465 square kilometers (about 184,000 square miles). The wind-swept World Heritage-listed Macquarie Island and its surrounding waters is a site of outstanding geological and natural significance. The plan to expand the marine park was released in February and Monday’s announcement comes after two months of public consultations with more than 14,700 submissions that were 99% in support, according to the government. Darren Kindleysides, chief executive of the Australian Marine Conservation Society, said sanctuaries are vital for marine wildlife, healthy ocean ecosystems and sustainable commercial fisheries.
