[MET/L] Oil majors BP (LON:BP) and Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSa) added 1% and 0.4% respectively, tracking crude prices. [O/R] However, the FTSE 100...

in News

The UK-based company had been trying to revive the unit for years after botching an overhaul of the division in 2017 when it sought to replace its army of self-employed doorstep collection agents with direct employees. "In light of the changing industry and regulatory dynamics in the home-credit sector, as well as shifting customer preferences,...

Posted by admin
in News

By Carolyn Cohn LONDON (Reuters) - When much of the global economy locked down last year, insurers, facing estimated losses of more than $100 billion globally, reached straight for their red pens to strike pandemic cover from all new business policies. Denis Kessler, chairman and CEO of French reinsurer SCOR, summed it up when he told a recent conference that pandemic risk was like war. "We exclude war - it's not insurable," he said. But as industries spanning travel and hospitality to construction and manufacturing revert to a new normal, huge demand...

Japan’s first quarter GDP likely slipped back into decline as new COVID curbs hit: Reuters poll By Reuters

Posted by admin
in News

By Leika Kihara TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's economy likely shrank in the first quarter as the hit to consumption from coronavirus curbs offset the boost from robust global demand, a Reuters poll showed, highlighting the country's slow recovery from a pandemic-induced slump.

"Instead of staging a V-shaped recovery, Japan's economy may contract again in April-June," Daiwa Institute of Research said in...
