Investing Guide at Deep Blue Group Publications: New York dethrones London som beste finanssentrum

LONDON: New York erstattet London som verdens ledende finansielle sentrum for første gang, etter at byen ble rystet av en rekke skandalene og spørsmål over Storbritannias plass i EU.

New York har topplasseringen i den siste globale finansielle sentre indeksen med en "ustø, statistisk ubetydelig" to-punkts føre, ifølge Michael Mainelli, leder av Z/Yen gruppen, som sammenstiller indeksen.



Konkurransen er varme opp, med Hong Kong og Singapore, to ledende asiatisk sentre, innsnevring gapet mellom seg selv og de to øverste til færre enn 30 poeng på en skala på 1000, indeksen viser.

Skandalene inkludert banker misbruker sine kunder ved å selge unødvendige forsikring, manipulering av finansielle benchmarks og handel tap, har kombinert skader byens stående, akkurat som planer for en folkeavstemning om EU-medlemskap kastet tvil om vilkårene i tilgangen til dette markedet.

Mens New York har utfordret London for pallen siden starten av indeksen, fikk en sevenpoint økning i sin vurdering den topplasseringen etter den britiske hovedstaden LED en 10-punkts nedgang, den største av alle i topp 50.

"London trenger et rykte som alle som kommer vil bli behandlet rettferdig og kan konkurrere rettferdig," i henhold til Mainelli. "Uten store innenlandske økonomien bak New York og Hong Kong, London må opptre mer som en Singapore by stat eller har støtte fra et EU innenlandske økonomien."

Indeksen, som oppdateres hvert halvår, og i dens 15th edition, er kompilert fra svar på en spørreundersøkelse. Den bruker også eksterne målere inkludert rangeringer for bestemte områder som telekommunikasjon.



Indeksen, som ble først publisert i 2007, tar hensyn til fem brede områder som forretningsmiljøet, finans, infrastruktur, menneskelig kapital og omdømme. Den britiske regjeringen "er bestemt å bygge en banksektoren som øker økonomien og støtter forbrukere og bedrifter," sier statskassen.

"Det er å skape et rammeverk som fremmer en ansvarlig og bærekraftig finansbransjen, takle problemene av konkurranse og risiko." London borgermester Boris Johnson gjorde en seks dagers besøk til Kina i oktober samtidig at kansler George Osborne ledet handel oppdrag til verdens nest største økonomi.

Den britiske regjeringen tar sikte på London å bli det ledende senteret for offshore handel av kinesiske yuan og verdipapirer, og ønsker også å oppmuntre islamsk finans.

Myndighetene vil ha sitt arbeid kutte ut for å lage gode på de ambisjonene, ifølge London-baserte Z/Yen. Storbritannias forsoning og forsøk å holde nede antall innvandrere har gjort Storbritannia vises "unwelcoming" utenlandske arbeidere og besøkende, ifølge Z/Yen.

London har også lidd fordi Storbritannias plass i EU er ikke bestemt.

Build files to act similar to Find in Files

James Brooks 16 jaar geleden • 0
Build files allow us to capture line numbers (if provided) by the use of regular expressions.

It would be useful if when the output panel displays line numbers and we have captured them, that pressing F4 would also take us to the line number in the actual code.

Obviously, some way of denoting that we're capturing a line number would have to be put in to place.

Remove incremental search

Martin Aspeli 15 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Hugo Schmitt 13 jaar geleden • 3
As far as I can tell, incremental search (Cmd+I on OS X) doesn't offer anything over the default find (Cmd+F). The behaviour is subtly different, which is confusing. Better to remove incremental search and use Cmd+I for something else.

How do I switch easily between fixed and none-fixed font?

Kristian Tigersjäl 14 jaar geleden • 0
I sometimes need a "none fixed" font as Arial for example, rather than the default fixed width font. How do I switch between this easily without editing the user settings every time? I'm thinking a keymap or something.

Code Colouring Copy

Pierre Chanquion 14 jaar geleden • 0
Its obviously a very minor request but it would be great if the code colouring could be copied into other document editors: for example when using eclipse if you copy code into microsoft word it copies the highlighting as well, which is very useful for write ups etc.

"Embedded Source" bug with "Mac Classic"

Luke Scott 15 jaar geleden • 0
This is most apparent with the "Mac Classic" theme. When you start with a "<?php" the background is a light gray. This is coming from the "Embedded Source" color. This is NOT supposed to be happening. "Embedded Source" is supposed to be when the file is set to "HTML" and the "<?php" tag is used.

Compare this to TextMate and how it treats 'Embedded Source". The light gray is driving me batty ;).

Will the British Gas tool help?

alizee niklas 13 jaar geleden • 0

When most people hear the phrase 'government grant' it instantly conjures up images of mountains of leaflets, forms and paperwork.

So even the offer of lowering your energy bills might not be enough to tempt some people to consider the Green Deal or ECO.


Add to that the fact that most people don't actually know what the schemes offer, and it's no wonder they have thus far been pretty unsuccessful.

As such, British Gas's tool, which helps you to find out more about energy efficiency in the home and savings you can make, could have emerged at just the right time to encourage more people to take advantage of a range of decent insulation options.


Sadly, British Gas seems to have missed an opportunity to educate households as its online tool is a little disappointing.

For example, the limited number of questions mean you are not really given advice specifically relevant to your individual circumstances.

That said, it may save you some time figuring out if you could get funding for any improvements through the ECO, as well as save you the £129 fee you would pay if you did not know you are eligible for a free assessment.

variables in key bindings

Sander Pilon 14 jaar geleden • 0

In EditPlus I have the ability to use the file directory and path as input to a custom command. So I could execute a "svn commit", using the path of the current file as the working directory.

Something like this:

 { "keys": ["ctrl+1"], "command": "exec", "args": { "cmd": ["'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Subversion\\bin\\svn.exe'", "-m: ci"], "shell" : true, "working_dir": "$file_dir"  } }

The build system isn't quite as flexible as I'd like. (I'd like to be able to execute this on any type of file whenever I want.)

Would be nice to have an additional option for a Lua-pattern like matching for searches if people don't want to go all the way into Regex - which is significantly harder to use.

Pellet Heat Approaches Liftoff with Residential Consumers

Ajji Ummah 13 jaar geleden • 0

“We’re this far from taking off,” said a speaker at a pellet boiler firm’s recent sales meeting in Portland, Maine, while holding his thumb and index finger two inches apart. At the same time, another major pellet boiler firm in Maine is pounding the television airwaves with a commercial comparing the price of pellet fuel to heating oil, and Maine’s state energy agency recently announced an incentive program whereby up to 50 residential pellet boiler purchasers will receive rebates up to $5,000. The boiler firms and installers hope that this incentive will prove so popular that it will be extended beyond the initial funding.

 Speaking at the 2013 Kedel (a Danish pellet boiler) Summit in Portland, former Biomass Thermal Energy Council Chairman Charlie Niebling was asked what it will take for residential pellet boiler sales in Maine and New Hampshire to achieve liftoff. Niebling suggested that increased tension in the Middle East, thereby spiking oil prices, would be an obvious stimulus. Absent such a spike, Niebling stated that while the pellet sector is “poised to significantly expand,” it behooves the industry to undertake a strong education and promotion program.

Other speakers at the meeting cited the need to answer consumer questions about bulk delivery, the long-term price outlook for pellets, the resale value of homes with central pellet heat, and greenhouse gas emissions. A panel of customers speaking at the end of the meeting emphasized that the desire to “get away from oil,” for both economic and environmental reasons, trumped whatever unanswered questions they had about switching to pellets. A secondary reason cited was a desire to spend their fuel dollars in support of Maine’s forest products economy.

Sales staff at the meeting spoke with confidence, noting that the 20-year longevity of oil burners means that every year, five percent of Maine homeowners are in the marketplace for a new heating system. The marketing pitch is “pellets are half the price of oil, and emit one-tenth the greenhouse gas.”

Will Maine be a significant partner in achieving pellet heat liftoff? According to its critics, the outlook among some trustees and staff at the state’s energy agency, Efficiency Maine, is that economic development considerations—the huge multiplier effect of a heating system using a locally produced fuel—are not central to the agency’s mission.  In addition, the “insulation uber alles” crowd continues to demand that no home receive funds for a heating system change-out without the building envelope first being secured, a proposition that often leaves the homeowner with only enough funds for a new oil burner.

There are indications that the insulationists’ shrill arguments, threatening legal action if Efficiency Maine does not interpret an ambiguous section of new state law in their favor, are losing sway at the state agency. Also, Efficiency Maine recently made a modest grant to assist the Northern Forest Center’s promising Model Neighborhood project, which incentivizes pellet boiler installations in a concentrated area of homeowners.

At any rate, Efficiency Maine has just announced a wide range of incentives designed to reduce both energy demand and heating costs. Pellet stove purchasers will receive a $250 rebate provided the stove is EPA-approved and makeup air is ducted into the unit. Homeowners installing heat pumps or efficient new gas, propane, or oil furnaces will receive $500 rebates. The first 50 homeowners to install pellet boilers meeting HUD Energy Saver standards—or geothermal heat—will receive a $5,000 rebate, which is approximately the incentive amount that has proved most effective in selling pellet boilers.

Our industry up here obviously hopes that this incentive, sales force enthusiasm, the media advertising being done by one boiler firm—Maine Energy Systems—promoting pellet heat in general, and word-of-mouth recognition of our product quality will get us into a sharply upward flight path.
