▼ + stars: | 2024-12-03 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

One of Canada's large financial holding companies appears to be an attractive dividend investment opportunity, according to Scotiabank analysts. This development could boost Power Corporation's dividend growth rate, as Great-West represents its largest source of dividend income. "We think the value of the dividend growth is not reflected in the stock price and is underappreciated by the Street," the analysts added. Scotiabank's price target of 56 Canadian dollars ($40) is around 20% above the current stock price, with additional upside potential if dividend growth rates increase. The company recently agreed to sell its stake in Peak Achievement Athletics for around 440 million Canadian dollars, providing additional capital for potential shareholder returns.

Investment-grade rated companies issued $152 billion in May, making it the busiest May since 2020 when the pandemic crisis prompted record debt issuance volumes, according to data from Informa Global Markets. "I believe we have seen an acceleration of issuance into May," said Richard Wolff, head of US bond syndicate at SG CIB, saying this was a result of debt issuance being pulled forward. This debt issuance spree is on the back of strong demand for what were relatively higher yielding corporate bonds after Treasury yields rose in May from levels touched in late April. New investment-grade bonds in May received orders that were three to four times the offering size on average, according to IGM data. CHANGING TIDEThe debt binge, however, gave a broad hint that the largest companies in the world are not optimistic on borrowing conditions later in the year.

☆ Inegalitățile de gen în R. Moldova - cât ne costă și cum ne afectează societatea?
▼ + stars: | 2021-01-21 | by ( Maria Svet | ) www.zdg.md time to read: +8 min

Inegalitatea de gen în R. Moldova ne costă câteva zeci de miliarde de lei în minus de la bugetul de stat. În R. Moldova, din cauza că femeile participă mai puțin activ pe piața muncii și lucrează ore mai puține decât bărbații, ele au în medie o productivitate a muncii mai redusă. De asemenea, amplificarea inegalităților pe piața muncii din ultimii a dus și la majorarea costurilor macroeconomice cu 2 – 4 p.p. Legislația națională nu conține prevederi care ar stimula mama și tatăl să împartă între ei concediul de îngrijire a copilului. Insuficiența creșelor publice adâncesc vulnerabilitatea femeilor, afectează formarea și realizarea profesională a femeilor, precum și participarea acestora pe piaţa muncii şi determină creșterea riscului de excluziune socială.

Директор итальянского Института молекулярной генетики (IGM) и заведующий отделением вирусологии Джованни Мага спрогнозировал в беседе с «Известиями» пик распространения коронавируса в Европе. По его словам, циркуляция COVID-19 продолжится весь зимний сезон, говорить о переходе на плато пока слишком сложно. Как считает вирусолог, в разных странах это произойдет в свой час, в зависимости от эпидемиологической ситуации, жесткости мер сдерживания и дисциплины населения, передает lenta.ru. Как считает вирусолог, потребуются годы, чтобы вакцинировать достаточное количество людей и выработать коллективный иммунитет. «Не все согласятся на вакцинацию, а некоторые не смогут быть привиты по состоянию здоровья, поэтому всегда кто-то будет заражен», — заключил Мага.

Он добавил, что только за первые 10 дней ноября было выявлено 260 ввозных случаев, "давление от необходимости предупредить ввоз болезни и предотвратить скачок ее распространения в стране не ослабевает". "В условиях новой эпидемиологической ситуации, мы в соответствии с реальной обстановкой, ориентируясь на действия других стран, предпринимаем эти меры. Он отметил, что ПЦР-тест стал обычной практикой, но он не дает стопроцентной точности, подтверждением этому являются 3,6 тысячи ввозных в Китай случаев. "Мы считаем, что нужна двойная страховка, поэтому мы еще добавили серологический тест для обнаружения антител IgM", - сообщил он. Например, для въезда из стран, где временно или вообще не могут делать серологический тест на антитела, Китай будет требовать еще один дополнительный ПЦР-тест.
