REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsHONG KONG, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Top executives at global asset managers on Wednesday talked up China at an event in Hong Kong on Wednesday, championing long-term investment opportunities in an economy battling to break free of pandemic disruption. "Long term, (China) has to be part of a global investment portfolio." Citadel Securities CEO Peng Zhao called China a driver of growth and innovation and said it was "baffling" to think otherwise. He also said Citadel doubled its Hong Kong headcount in the face of pandemic-induced challenges, leveraging the talent the city hosts and its connectivity to other markets. Quinn told the Hong Kong event on Tuesday that wealth flow from mainland China to Hong Kong has grown 3 to 4 times this year.

Filed: February 1, 2023, 11 a.m. GMTTheir journey starts with a humanitarian visa for Brazil: one of the few remaining exit routes for Afghans fleeing Taliban rule. More than a year after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Kabul, the number of Afghans crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to seek asylum in the United States has soared. Hundreds of people each month are risking their lives to get there on a human smuggling route notorious for kidnapping, robbery and assault. Eleven said they made it to the United States; Reuters has not been able to confirm the whereabouts of one person a reporter interviewed in Mexico. In recent weeks, Taliban spokesmen have said that Afghanistan is the “home of all Afghans” and that those who have left can come back.

Anne Richards, CEO of the $610 billion money manager Fidelity International, put her level of worry about a potential decoupling of the two economies at 6 out of 10 when asked during a panel discussion. EY global chair and CEO Carmine Di Sibio put his own level of concern at 9 out of 10. EY's Di Sibio told the event U.S. administration officials were "extremely aggressive" about the extent of business with China particularly in technology, adding this was the case across much of the West. But the politics are really in the way and I am worried that they're not getting better," Di Sibio said.
SHANGHAI, Nov 8 (Reuters) - The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) kicks off on Wednesday a week-long global conference to promote China's capital markets, according to an official agenda, the latest in a flurry of activities by regulators to woo international investors. Participants at the annual SSE Global Investor Conference, to be held Nov. 9-16, and closed to the media, include Chinese regulators, executives from global banks and asset managers such as abrdn, Deutsche Bank and PIMCO. At the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit in Hong Kong last week, the country's senior financial regulators reaffirmed China's commitment to economic growth as a priority. Senior Chinese officials also sent similar messages at the China International Import Expo over the weekend. In the "fireside chat" section, senior officials from China's securities and foreign exchange regulators will talk about promoting the opening-up of China's capital market, and facilitating cross-border investment.
Boala a fost descoperită în Franţa, Olanda, Germania, Marea Britanie, Belgia, Danemarca, Irlanda, Suedia şi, recent, în Croaţia, Slovenia şi Polonia, după ce a lovit grav Rusia, Kazahstan şi Israel. La fel cum este cazul pentru alte boli animale, descoperirea unor focare de gripă aviară ar putea determina ţările importatoare să introducă restricţii comerciale. Cu toate acestea, decizia ţărilor importatoare de a limita restricţiile numai la regiunile afectate de virusul gripei aviare, a ajutat la limitarea impactului. De exemplu, China a suspendat importurile de carne de pasăre numai pentru produsele care provin din patru regiuni din Rusia, din cauza gripei aviare. Până acum nu există cazuri semnalate de transmitere a virusului gripei aviare de la păsări la oameni însă descoperirea unor astfel de focare a impus demararea unor campanii de sacrificare, iar fermierilor li s-a ordonat să ţină păsările închise.

O tulpină foarte contagioasă şi periculoasă a gripei aviare se răspândeşte rapid în Europa, punând în stare de alertă sectorul avicol, având în vedere că precedentele episoade au obligat sacrificarea a zeci de mii de păsări şi au provocat pierderi economice importante, transmite Reuters.Boala a fost descoperită în Franţa, Olanda, Germania, Marea Britanie, Belgia, Danemarca, Irlanda, Suedia şi, recent, în Croaţia, Slovenia şi Polonia, după ce a lovit grav Rusia, Kazahstan şi Israel.Marea majoritate a cazurilor de gripă aviară sunt descoperite în rândul păsărilor migratoare însă au fost raportate şi cazuri de infecţie în rândul păsărilor din ferme, ceea ce a condus, până acum, la eutanasierea a cel puţin 1,6 milioane de pui şi raţe în întreaga regiune, scrie agerpres.ro În Olanda, cel mai mare exportator european de carne de pasăre şi ouă, aproape 500.000 de pui au murit sau au fost sacrificaţi din cauza virusului în toamna acestui an, şi peste 900.000 de găini au murit săptămâna aceasta la o singură fermă din Polonia, au precizat autorităţile din cele două ţări. "Am lucrat din greu pentru a îmbunătăţi siguranţa, să îi pregătim pe crescători şi să îmbunătăţim trasabilitatea şi sperăm că dacă vor apărea cazuri vom reuşi să le ţinem sub control", a spus Anne Richard, preşedintele Asociaţiei crescătorilor de păsări din Franţa (ANVOL).Majoritatea ţărilor au ridicat gradul de alertă la "ridicat", ceea ce înseamnă că toate tipurile de păsări trebuie ţinute în spaţii închise sau protejate astfel încât să evite contactul cu păsările sălbatice.La fel cum este cazul pentru alte boli animale, descoperirea unor focare de gripă aviară ar putea determina ţările importatoare să introducă restricţii comerciale. Aceste restricţii s-ar adăuga izolărilor decise din cauza coronavirusului, care riscă să afecteze vânzările în perioada importantă a sărbătorilor de sfârşit de an. "Este deja dificil să exporţi cu COVID, ar fi şi mai greu", a spus Denis Lambert, directorul general de la LDC, cel mai mare producător de carne de pasăre din Franţa.Cu toate acestea, decizia ţărilor importatoare de a limita restricţiile numai la regiunile afectate de virusul gripei aviare, a ajutat la limitarea impactului. De exemplu, China a suspendat importurile de carne de pasăre numai pentru produsele care provin din patru regiuni din Rusia, din cauza gripei aviare.Până acum nu există cazuri semnalate de transmitere a virusului gripei aviare de la păsări la oameni însă descoperirea unor astfel de focare a impus demararea unor campanii de sacrificare, iar fermierilor li s-a ordonat să ţină păsările închise.
