We now have data for #Germany; #GDP has shrunk by 0.3%.
But before the #brexiters starting rubbing their hands, like the UK's figure, this is well within the margin of error to potentially be revised upwards into growth (just like the UK, minuscule 'growth' could end up as a small negative move).
We might also be best to be looking at other figures, like levels of #investment or balance of trade...
Both of which suggest Germany's problems look temporary, while the UK's looked baked-in
The Wapiscanis Waseskwan Nipiy Limited Partnership, comprised of nine First Nations and three Métis settlements, has been provided a $150 million loan guarantee by the Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation for an 85 per cent interest in oil and gas infrastructure assets in the north of the province
See how long the #AI love affair lasts when they propose it as a replacement for C-level Execs or #corporate board members.
Not even talking about investment #bankers, or #investment "professionals".
Hmmm.... interestingly #AndyBurnham has decided to reduce emissions in #Manchester by using a carrot not a stick.... out goes the plan for a clean air charging zone, to be replaced by major investment in #pubictransport to encourage people out of their (commuter) cars.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, as many cities have plans for new zones to cut emissions.... if Burnham's pivot gets results, might we see a ramping up of #investment in (and subsides for) public transport?
Biden Wants to Make This Big Change to #IRA Rollovers
“President #Biden spoke… on what the White House has called a crackdown on “junk fees” in retirement planning. Such fees chip away at account balances over time, leading to lifetime savings that are up to 20% less than if advisors were held to the highest standards.”
The province has increased the capacity of the #Alberta#Indigenous Opportunities Corporation, taking the amount available for loan guarantees for #investment in projects in the #naturalresources industry and other sectors to $3 billion.
The bump signals to companies planning “monumental transactions” that Alberta is “committed” to support such projects long term.
The province wants #Canada to set up a similar program for Trans Mountain equity.
Hard as it may be to believe, since April SSE's #windfarms have been under-performning by around a fifth in the #energy fed into the national grid.
The claim is that 'adverse weather conditions' reduced their ability to generate #windpower... by which I assume they mean not windy enough?
Of course, we cannot know how realistic or otherwise their projections were (they may have been hyped for #investment purposes?), but as a #cyclist in the NW, let me tell you its been windy enough here!
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into our lives, the concerns surrounding its ethical implications have taken center stage. This article examines these issues.
As Torsten Bell notes, a key problem behind so many issues is a lack of #investment - from the #NHScrisis to #RAAC in #schools, from our #productivity problems, to the state of our #infrastructure; so much would be different if the UK invested at the rate more normal across #Europe.
But notably behind the UK's seeming short-termism is, to me, a wider problem:
in the UK we have just stopped believing in the future... with devastating effects across society!

Talked to somone online who suffers actual cash flow problems because he never allows any considerable sum of #money to sit outside a time-locked #investment fund. It's never even occurred to me to optimise for maximum cash yield like that. I have more fun things to do with my time.
