CLAL financial exploitation of the results, once again

Clal Finance has submitted a writing, as if you have an external evaluation by Clal Finance Underwriting, which valued the company at the same values of justice, which is NIS 68 million at the end of 2008.

Clal Finance subsidiary booked value of the former Soviet Union 85 million euros, which is the starting point for writing down.As result of depreciation, Clal Finance, headed by the Director-General Shuki Abramovich is back on its financial report for the year 2008 , which will be even bigger company previously reported losses from 310.5 million NIS NIS 327.3 million.

Thaughts of stress test

For this reason, the banking risk management (real, not the most reliable group of these days) tend to see these tests as a public relations stunt that the regulatory authorities will use their bodies to force the finger line of Uncle Sam. That in itself is worrying. Regulatory authorities should not invent reasons to regulate properly.

Responded correctly to the bank when the officer says that he is "how high?" For the comment about the complexity, there are two minds. I am quite far into the camp that wants to move into the financial system. I would like the system, which leads to the banks, which are largely limited to traditional financial and investment banking, with more exotic instruments. Banks should be subject to the provisions of a rather intense and investment banks are more lenient treatment to exchange any explicit or implicit government guarantees.

This type of regime in natural banks will become less complex and easier to control regulate.That is a dispute with the banks on the results of these tests is not certain that the ability to understand the body. This gives banks too much. It would be better to control the need to reduce the complexity of their levels of understanding. Otherwise, we keep the upper hand - and no testing will be sufficient to diagnose problem.

At at the same time, the argument to be that the regulatory authorities of their level of knowledge. I do not want a system in which innovation and new products squelched, because it is difficult. We do not want to discourage the promotion of art production of the Boeing aircraft, simply because we are more sophisticated. Government agency responsible for testing new aircraft carriers is expected to manage the nuances of new technologies. I see no reason to fund another.

Budget Blues

What a coincidence. I have no idea what that means other than civil servants, we should pay more attention to the light of the sun, and the manual to warn the city of the former director of the Black Mart does not use e-mail to the private business sector in the city.

Terry O'Connor reporter covering us in the strategic planning session in which Chief Financial Officer Jeff Snyder, the addition of a budget "keeping me in the night." The economy is still forced into the city and means of reducing costs, but will not be to steal a backup, if not a lot of lawsuits.

The beneficiary is the city of Federal Nadel / Jet Center for the failure, and still is said about the costs and legal restrictions imposed on short-term rental issue, and "used" this year's budget. If the Council will meet in Wednesday. As planned, it is best not to discuss the payment of invoices. Issued a final ruling. Can not talk about legal strategy, you only pay for the vouchers Lorenzo. We have agents working on this issue.

If I become numbers, and I want to be anything more than the budget of $ 1.5 Carbine, and 2.5 million, and estimated the same according to law the various sunshine bills.That caught my attention and I shudder, because Snyder has become the official portfolio, I met. She loves to receive anything from the gun in a decline in the past two years, since the weather was good.
