first_imgBy SOUTHCOM Public Affairs March 10, 2020 Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro visited U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) March 8 to meet with U.S. Navy Admiral Craig Faller, SOUTHCOM commander, as well as other command and Department of Defense leaders. Bolsonaro’s historic visit marks the first time a Brazilian president has visited SOUTHCOM.The leaders discussed the growing defense cooperation partnership between Brazil and the U.S. (U.S.-Brazil Defense Partnership Highlights” Fact Sheet – PDF)“It was an honor to welcome President Bolsonaro and the distinguished delegation from Brazil to our headquarters and to speak with him about the growing defense ties between our nations,” said Adm. Faller. “Brazil is one of our strongest democratic partners in the hemisphere. We value our longstanding partnership with Brazil’s armed forces, and we look forward to taking new and important steps to expand our military cooperation.”While Bolsonaro was at the headquarters, the U.S. and Brazil signed a bilateral agreement on Research Development, Test and Evaluation Projects that will expand opportunities for both countries to collaborate and share information on the development of new defense capabilities.Chief of the Brazilian Armed Forces’ Joint Staff, Air Force General Raul Botelho, and U.S. Navy Admiral Craig Faller, SOUTHCOM commander, sign a bilateral agreement on Research Development, Test and Evaluation Projects that will expand opportunities to collaborate on new defense capabilities. (Photo: Juan Chiari / U.S. Southern Command)The agreement paves the way for potential future cooperation on applied research, development of emerging technologies, analysis, operational studies, demonstrations, and the testing and evaluation of prototypes.The U.S. and Brazilian armed forces enjoy longstanding ties, and defense cooperation between them includes a wide range of partnership activities, such as exercises, training, counter-proliferation and counter-narcotics cooperation, humanitarian assistance, reciprocal visits, personnel exchanges, and the sharing of information and expertise.At SOUTHCOM, the headquarters’ staff includes two senior Brazilian military officers whose invaluable expertise, advice, and insights support the command’s security cooperation with partner nations in the region.In 2019, Brazil hosted the Atlantic and amphibious phases of UNITAS, the world’s longest running, multinational maritime security exercise. The U.S. has sponsored UNITAS for six decades, and Brazil was among nine nations that participated in the first iteration of the exercise in 1960.Earlier in 2019, Brazil signed a partnership declaration with the New York National Guard, joining more than 80 nations participating in the State Partnership Program with the U.S.In another partnering initiative, Brazil’s Navy has been hosting U.S. Navy medics aboard Brazilian Navy hospital ships during riverine medical missions. The missions help doctors gain vital experience and expertise in tropical medicine while treating hundreds of patients in austere conditions unique to the Amazon.Brazilian medical professionals helped treat and care for patients when the U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort deployed to the region for medical assistance missions in 2018 and 2019.Brazil’s contributions to global security date back more than a century. During World War II, Brazil supported allied naval operations in the Atlantic and deployed an expeditionary force to Italy. In World War I, the Brazilian Armed Forces conducted convoy operations and security patrols with allied nations.last_img read more

Coronavirus may shave 0.6 percentage points of GDP growth: Sri Mulyani

first_imgIndonesia’s economic growth may be adversely affected by the global coronavirus outbreak in China, with the government planning to provide incentives to the tourist industry to prevent steep drops.“A drop of 1 percentage point in China’s economic growth will result in a drop of 0.3 to 0.6 percentage points in Indonesia’s [growth],” Finance Minister Sri Mulyani said during a press briefing in Jakarta on Wednesday.Indonesia’s economic growth rate, which hit a three-year of 4.97 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019, was projected to grow 5.3 percent this year. Sri Mulyani’s estimate meant economic growth may slide to 4.7 percent. “We are vigilant, but China’s government will have countercyclical measures through fiscal and monetary expansion,” said the minister. Measures taken by China’s government could bolster China’s economic growth in the second quarter.China is giving tax concessions to companies directly affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and its central bank set up a special 300 billion yuan relending fund to prop up the economy amid travel warnings and suspended operations at factories and small businesses.Sri Mulyani said the government had yet to officially revise this year’s economic growth target of 5.3 percent in the state budget, as it was still monitoring global economic growth prospects and China’s economic outlook in for 2020. “Analysts’ projections of a 1 to 2 percentage-point drop in China’s economy are still based on certain scenarios, but we are still assessing the outbreak’s impact on the economy.” Since it emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late December, COVID-19 has killed nearly 2,000 people, including five outside of mainland China. The virus has spread to nearly 30 countries, with more than 70,000 people infected globally.Several countries, including Singapore, are now undertaking fiscal and monetary easing policies to counter the negative economic impact of the outbreak.Bahana Sekuritas economist Satria Sambijantoro said Indonesian policymakers could not afford to fall behind the easing curve of Asian countries.“However, any slowdown is likely to be U-shaped, as China’s coronavirus outbreak actually has not caused any deterioration in economic fundamentals in China and Indonesia,” Satria told The Jakarta Post. Taiwan plans to spend US$2 billion to help cushion the impact of the new coronavirus on its export-reliant economy, offering loans to small businesses and even vouchers to spend on food at night markets, according to Reuters.Meanwhile, Singapore on Tuesday announced around $4.5 billion in financial packages to help contain the coronavirus outbreak in the city-state and weather its economic impact, paving the way for its biggest budget deficit in at least 15 years, Reuters reported.“This means growth will rebound strongly very soon, with global demand for commodities and manufacturing products backloaded in the second half of 2020.”The outbreak has dealt a blow to Indonesia’s travel industry, with mass cancellation of flights and hotels. The Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) recorded at least 20,000 cancellations for Bali since the rise of the new coronavirus in early January.Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Wishnutama said Indonesia could forgo revenue of up to $2.8 billion from Chinese tourists, whose number reached an average of 2 million travelers a year. Indonesia saw 16.1 million foreign tourist arrivals in 2019, with Chinese visitors contributing 12 percent of all foreign arrivals.The Indonesian government will provide discounts of up to 30 percent for both foreign and local travelers as more tourists cancel their vacation plans to the country over fears of the outbreak. President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has said the plan will be relayed to travel companies, airlines and other affected industries.Sri Mulyani said details of the proposal would be announced soon, adding that it would be discussed first with other ministries, including the Health Ministry and the Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry.Topics :last_img read more

​Equities drive 16% annual return at Denmark’s Realdania

first_imgRealdania, the Danish philanthropic organisation that supports projects in the built environment, made a 15.9% return for the calendar year 2014 on its investment portfolio, slightly less than the previous year’s 16.3%.By far the best-performing asset class in the overall portfolio – worth €2.9bn at end-2014 – was equities, which achieved a 25.1% return.Within this asset class, listed equities provided a 25.5% return, while private equity made 22.9%.Listed equities form 49.8% of the portfolio, with a further 8.2% in private equity. Alternatives were the next highest performer, returning 9.5% on a 2.1% allocation, while real estate made 5% from its 10% allocation.Fixed income returned 1%. Bonds make up 29.9% of the portfolio, split roughly 40:60 between investment-grade and non-investment grade bonds.Realdania’s investment activities are built on value creation through active management, primarily using external asset managers in more than 70 portfolios.It invests globally to achieve diversification and believes that equities, credit bonds and other equity-like assets give higher returns than government bonds over the long term.In its annual report, Realdania said its strategic asset allocation aimed to provide the highest risk-adjusted returns throughout an entire economic cycle.But it went on to point out that expected annual investment returns were highly dependent on the current phase of the economic cycle.It said: “Realdania therefore believes dynamic tactical asset allocation creates value and exploits macro-economic fluctuations and inefficient market conditions to create additional returns within the framework of the investment strategy.”Chief executive Jesper Nygård added: “It’s been a good year for us, with satisfactory results, especially when you consider it has been a difficult year on the stock markets, with substantial price fluctuations and large differences in returns between the various stock markets.“Our forecast for the coming year is that we will achieve a lower return than for 2014, when we benefited from very favourable price developments.”last_img read more

first_imgThe Oxlade in New Farm. Picture: SuppliedAn ultra-luxurious $100 million 39-residence development in bluechip Brisbane is set to ignite the high-end of the market when it launches next weekend. The Oxlade is the spectacular first project of Queensland Prime Developments — the brainchild of Kate Seymour and her brothers Trent and Ben, grandchildren of veteran Queensland developer Kevin Seymour. The collaborative project with Seymour Group at 80-84 Oxlade Drive in the premier riverfront suburb of New Farm. Sales open on June 1, with director Ben Seymour confirming construction would begin at the end of the year.“We have fielded an extremely strong level of inquiry and interest in this ultra high-end product and are really looking forward to launching the project,” he said.The luxury residences at The Oxlade will be split between two-bedroom apartments with media room overlooking the city and three bedroom units with media room overlooking the Brisbane River.Prices for the two bedders start at $1.4 million, with each having a two-car lockup garage, while the larger apartments have a three-car lockup garage and start at $3.4 million.As well, there will be two penthouses that each have a five-car lockup garage with prices starting at $7 million. The rooftop pool at The Oxlade: Supplied Agents Sarah Hackett and Jason Chaffey of Place Bulimba were bracing for inquiries with a website set up at theoxlade.com.au.‘Luxury apartments in boutique developments are in high demand. Purchasers are looking for quality and size with minimal neighbours,” Ms Hackett said.‘New Farm is one of Brisbane’s most iconic suburbs offering some of the best lifestyle and riverfront living opportunities.’‘At this end of the market, purchasers are looking for amenities to accommodate their lifestyle and make living easier.” Architects Bureau Proberts have designed a rooftop wet-edge pool, with lounges and dining room overlooking the city.“We spent a lot of time on that. Residents can have their own wine cellar box up there, have a chef up to cook them dinner. I think that will be one of the most amazing places to be.”Kevin Seymour, grandfather of the QPI directors who lives in New Farm, said the suburb was “so close to the city” with good amenities and infrastructure.“You could dine out every night of the week for the next 12 months and probably not have to go to the same restaurant twice,” he said of the restaurant offerings in the area. Trent Seymour said all enclosed garages were “very rare around the area”, even in luxury developments.“You get your own storage and you can lock up your cars. Drivers want to be able to lock them up and leave.”More from newsParks and wildlife the new lust-haves post coronavirus13 hours agoNoosa’s best beachfront penthouse is about to hit the market13 hours agoResidents at The Oxlade will have five-star services including a full-time concierge with Mr Seymour describing the building as having “a level of finish and amenity never before seen in Brisbane”.“A concierge will be a full-time feature, someone to bring up your shopping when it arrives, walk your dog, anything your heart may desire. I think that’s the way the market is going, particularly in Brisbane. If you are paying that much for a product, you want to be able to come home and have the sort of hotel feel to it. That’s what we’re going with, it’s meant to have the feeling of coming home to a five-star hotel.” Relax and unwind at The Oxlade. Picture: Supplied The Oxlade in New Farm.

Limited (SIGT) and Thai Energy Co Limited (TEC).SIGT and TEC together hold a 22.222% equity stake in the Bongkot field and adjoining acreage offshore Thailand consisting of Blocks 15, 16 and 17 and block G12/48. Shell’s partners in the Bongkot asset are operator of the field, PTT Exploration & Production (PTTEP), with 44.445% equity, and Total with 33.333% equity.The two companies had announced the sale and purchase agreement back in January 2017, saying the total value of the deal would be around $900 million. Shell had expected the sale to be concluded in the first quarter of 2017, however this did not happen.In an email sent to Offshore Energy Today, a Shell spokesperson said: “Although Shell and the Thai government have worked together closely and collaboratively on the matter, the different interpretations of the treatment of share sale transactions were not resolved within Shell and KUFPEC’s agreed timeframe. Therefore, both parties jointly decided to terminate the transaction.“We would like to thank the government for the time and attention they have given to the matter and we look forward to continuing our collaborative working relationship going forward.”Support for PTTEPFollowing the cancellation announcement on Wednesday, Shell said that its Thai subsidiaries would continue to support PTTEP in operation and further development of Bongkot.SIGT also intends to participate in the forthcoming licensing round for the extension of the Bongkot concession, Shell said.“Shell Group’s divestment program continues to make good progress at both raising cash and re-shaping the company.

Finals of 2020 Davis Cup, Fed Cup move to 2021 due to coronavirus

first_img The Fed Cup Finals were due to take place in April of this year and had already been postponed. Initially scheduled for November 23 to 29 2020, the Davis Cup Finals have now been formally postponed and are due to start on the week commencing November 22 2021 instead. The 18 teams qualified for the 2020 finals will remain the same. All 24 World Group I and World Group II ties due to take place in September have also been deferred to 2021. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) and investment group Kosmos Tennis made the announcement following a three-month review of the logistical and regulatory challenges that have arisen since the start of the pandemic. The Davis Cup is the largest men’s team competition in tennis, with Spain the defending champions. This year’s edition was the first using a new format. Spain and Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué, President of Kosmos Tennis, commented: “It’s a huge disappointment for all of us that the Davis Cup Finals will not be held in 2020. “We don’t know how the situation will develop in each qualified nation, or if restrictions in Spain will remain sufficiently eased, as such it is impossible to predict the situation in November and guarantee the safety of those travelling to Madrid. “This postponement has no long-term bearing on our collective ambitions for the Davis Cup.” 2020 Davis Cup Finals have been rescheduled for 2021, as have the Fed Cup Finals, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Loading…center_img ITF President David Haggerty added: “This is a tough decision to have to make, but delivering an international team event on this scale while guaranteeing the health and safety of all involved ultimately poses too great a risk. “It is a complex undertaking and we have made the decision now to provide certainty for players, National Associations and fans. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Kosmos Tennis in order to deliver a fantastic competition next year.” Meanwhile, the Fed Cup Finals have been given new dates of April 13 to 18 next year. They remain at the László Papp Arena in Hungarian capital Budapest, set to be played on an indoor clay court. Twelve nations – including hosts Hungary, reigning champions France, the United States and Australia – will compete for the title, with the draw remaining the same. Four regional events still to be played – two in Americas Group II and one each from Asia-Oceania Group II and Europe-Africa Group III – will now be played in 2021 with dates yet to be confirmed. The 2022 competition will return to its normal format from then onwards. read also:Fed Cup: Sania Mirza in contention for ITF’s Heart Award Haggerty said: “Earlier this year, we took the difficult but necessary decision to postpone the first edition of the new-look Fed Cup in Budapest due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “While it is regrettable that the Finals will not be able to take place this year, we are confident that we will be able to host a superb event in Budapest in April 2021. “We would like to thank our partners, the Hungarian Government, for their hard work and continued commitment to the competition.” FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 last_img read more
