AMERICAS AUTOMOTIVE TRANSPORT MARKET

AMERICAS: SEPTEMBER 2008 - Canadian Trucking Alliance is not impressed by Transport Canada's Full Cost Investigation.

Transport Canada and provincial and territorial governments have undertaken a full cost investigation (FCI) of transportation in Canada which "includes the comprehensive financial and social costs associated with infrastructures, services, vehicles, and with the movement of people and goods. Social costs refer to the costs of accidents, noise, congestion delays and environmental damages."

The FCI is intended to deliver defensible estimates of costs that would allow a better understanding of the relative full costs of the different modes of transport.

The report, published in July 2008 but based on data from 2000, estimated the full costs of transportation ranged between C$198 billion and C$233 billion. Of that figure social costs associated with the impacts of transportation activities in 2000 were estimated to be in the a range between C$24.4 billion and C$39.5 billion.

The full cost of trucking was estimated at C$53.84 billion of which C$4.01 billion or 7% is attributable to social costs.

David Bradley, CEO of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, is not impressed. He is quoted in a CTA release as stating that, "Beyond an interesting intellectual exercise, the report is not of much use and certainly cannot be relied upon for policy purposes." Furthemore he decries Transport Canada's admission that "in order to complete this project by the deadline, the issue of absolute and relative benefits and advantages of transportation has been excluded from the scope of the project." Bradley elaborates that this omission "doesn't help the sector in its attempts to ensure that policy-makers and legislators view the industry as more than a necessary evil or stop taking it for granted."

EUROPE INSURANCE MARKETS

EUROPE: MAY 2008 - Finansinspektionen's traffic-light model measures risk exposure.

The role of Finansinspektionen, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, is to promote stability and efficiency in the financial system and to ensure effective consumer protection. It was established in 1991 through the merger of the former banking and insurance regulators with the aim of creating a single integrated regulator covering banking, securities and insurance.

They use a traffic-light model to measure the exposure of insurance companies to extreme price fluctuations in the financial markets so that they can identify, at an early stage, companies that have damagingly high levels of risk exposure. The initial version, subsequently revised, was introduced at the beginning of 2006. The examples of price fluctuations that companies they regulate should be able to withstand include a 40% fall in Swedish share prices, a 35% fall in real estate prices and a 30% fall in long-term interest rates.

ASIA INSURANCE MARKET

Detariffing of India's general insurance sector benefits the private sector.

The Indian general insurance sector saw the completion of the detariffing process on 1 January 2008. Price controls had first been lifted in January 2006 but the Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority of India (IRDA) had capped discounts at 51.2%.

Figures released by the IRDA show that growth figures in January 2008 have matched those of the previous eight months. There had been concerns that a period of cut throat competition may have ensued with market participants slashing prices to win market share at the expense of revenue growth. This had been the experience in other markets undergoing detariffing.

India's private sector insurers have been gaining market share since detariffing at the expense of the state owned entities although this has slowed from 8% in the period from April to December 2006 to 5% in the equivalent period of 2007.

The IRDA Chairman, CS Rao, stated at the CII Health Insurance Summit in Mumbai in October 2007 that he expected, 'Removal of tariff on other lines of business is....more

Europe New Housing Market

Varied evidence and opinion on UK housing market.

The United Kingdom's house builders have been announcing their preliminary results for the 2007 financial year in which the majors produced about 10% fewer homes than in 2006.

Taylor Wimpey, the biggest house builder by volume, reported UK sales down 3.7% but with their average sale price up 2.1% to £188,000 their margins improved by 2.4%. Their order book at the end of February 2008 had 'a greater than historical weighting towards affordable homes.

ASIA: MARCH 2008 - Significant reduction in carbon emissions through increased use of telecoms?

Telstra commissioned Climate Risk to produce the study Towards a High-Bandwidth, Low-Carbon Future: Telecommunications-based Opportunities to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

The report analyses the opportunities for Australia to reduce carbon emissions through increased usage of their telecommunications network. It estimates that the potential to reduce carbon emissions by 4.9% by 2015 exists through these means. However, the full benefits cannot be realised until the roll-out of a national fibre optic network to residential and commercial consumers.

The report's authors identify seven carbon opportunities that could deliver total per annum emission savings of 27.2 million tonnes. These opportunities are remote management of power for appliances not in use or on "stand-by"; improving business productivity with "in-person" high-definition videoconferencing; through the use of broadband based, real-time....more

EUROPEAN CONSUMER BORROWING MARKET

EUROPE: MARCH 2008 - The rate of growth in unsecured lending slows whilst pawnbroking grows.

By June 2007 the total indebtedness of the UK had reached over £1.3 trillion which compares to UK wealth which, including property, is estimated by PwC to exceed £6 trillion. The Bank of England noted in its 2007 Inflation Reports that the ratio of household debt to annual income has risen by around a half since the start of the decade to 160% in the first quarter of 2007.

RUSSIA LIFE INSURANCE MARKET

EUROPE: MARCH 2008 - Russian insurance industry interests foreign investors.

Mergers and acquisitions activity in the Russian financial services sector has been strong since the beginning of 2006 and this trend is expected to continue through to the middle of 2008 according to a survey conducted by mergermarket for PwC. However, obstacles to concluding deals were found and included the lack of transparency, a lack of suitable targets and competition for the most attractive targets.

46% of respondents believed that the retail banking sector would be the most active whereas only 14% believed that the life insurance sector would be. However, a PwC spokesman was more positive stating that the Russian insurance market, because of its low capitalisation and high growth rate, would remain very attractive for foreign investors.

German, French and Italian companies are expected to have the most interest in acquiring in Russia. Most domestic respondents favour the presence of foreign investors because they provide easier...more

AUTOMOTIVE MARKET

AMERICAS: FEBRUARY 2008 - Tata in poll position to acquire Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford.

Ken Gorin, chairman of the Jaguar Business Operations Council which represents Jaguar dealers in the United States, stated in an interview in December 2007 that the American public was not ready for Indian ownership of a luxury car brand. He was quoted as stating, 'I believe it would severely throw a tremendous cast of doubt over the viability of the brand.' His opinion was dismissed as narrow by his UK counterpart James Brearley, chairman of the British Jaguar dealers' council.

Gorin's concerns were also dismissed by Ravi Kant, managing director of Tata Motors, Kamal Nath, India's commerce and industry minister and the president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.

Despite this controversy Lewis Booth, executive vice president - Ford of Europe and Premier Automotive Group stated on 3 January 2008 that, 'Ford is committed to focused negotiations at a more detailed level with Tata Motors concerning the potential sale of the combined Jaguar Land Rover business.'

'There is still a considerable amount of work to do, and while no final decision has been made, we will proceed with further substantive discussions with Tata Motors over the forthcoming weeks with a view to securing an agreement that is in the best interests of all parties concerned.'

Jaguar's management was reported to be entirely relaxed at this decision.
