TORONTO, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will seek to challenge Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's plan to pull her province out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), in a meeting with provincial and territorial counterparts on Friday. A nationwide pension scheme called CPP that took contributions from paychecks began in the late 1960s. CPP Investments - an entity to manage its assets - was created in 1997 by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act. AIMCo has not been considered a vehicle for a new Alberta pension plan. If Alberta walks away with more than 22.5% of assets, CPP contributions from everywhere else in the country would have to increase, Tombe estimates.

Anticipation should be building as Philip Morris prepares to bring iQOS back to the U.S. market. Philip Morris had partnered with Altria when iQOS was first launched in a handful of U.S. markets in 2019. Eventually, Philip Morris agreed to buy back the commercialization rights from Altria, and that deal is effective April 30, 2024. And this strategy is partly why, Herzog said, Philip Morris is one of Goldman's top picks. Last week, Philip Morris CEO Jacek Olczak spoke on X via ReutersPlus about its harm reduction efforts.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File photoPARIS, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Rothschild & Co (ROTH.PA), the Paris-listed investment bank being taken private by its owners, reported on Thursday a 10% fall in first-half sales, driven by a plunge in dealmaking activity. Rothschild said its first-half net income, group share, nearly halved from a year earlier to 128 million euros. In a call with reporters, Managing Partner Francois Perol confirmed the investment bank expected net income to more than halve this year due to the sharp fall in dealmaking. He said the consortium that seeks to take the company private already owned more than 80% of the shares following the buyout offer valuing Rothschild at 3.7 billion euros. Concordia, the bank's controlling shareholder and holding company of the Rothschild family, was joined by three of France's wealthiest families in the take-private transaction.

Între timp, navele mari trebuie să acosteze în portul industrial Marghera, departe de Grand Canal. În 2013, guvernul de atunci a interzis navelor de peste 96.000 de tone să traverseze canalul Giudecca, dar ulterior o instanță locală a anulat hotărârea. În 2017, un alt guvern a încercat din nou să interzică accesul navelor mari, care trebuiau să acosteze la Marghera. Înainte de pandemie, care a devastat industria croazierelor, Veneția se număra printre principalele atracții turistice din Italia, atrăgând peste 25 de milioane de vizitatori pe an.
