EU Calls On Germany To Reduce Large Current Account Surplus

BRUSSELS (Alliance News) - The European Commission on Wednesday called on Germany, the bloc's biggest economy, to reduce its large current account surplus and focus on boosting domestic consumption.

Germany's current account surplus in 2016 was at a historically high level of 8.7% of gross domestic product. That means its trade surplus swelled anew, as the growth of exports was more than that of imports.

That figure was 8.5% of GDP in 2015 and 7.5% in 2014.

According to EU rules, member states should not exceed a threshold of an average 6% of GDP during three years.....

The commission has published similar assessments in the past, but the latest report coincides with views expressed by US President Donald Trump that Germany was using a "grossly undervalued" euro to boost its export machine.

Critics of Germany's economic policy say that, while the country's exports are benefiting from a weak euro, in return Germany should consume more to support its trading partners in and outside the EU.

I have this strange feeling you fancy blondes Freda , you spend a lot of time going on about Boris . Don't you .

There was a catch on the half question, but I like it with the finish

Do you think "freda" got "goose pimples" as you find this out?

Seems a suitable candidate.

But you know what you going to get when you vote for him.

Solid, dependable and honest to the end.

Could be said of the nutter.

re - could be said

It takes a nutter to know another one

Did you notice "Freda" forgot to keep us up to date with yesterday's results

British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives secured a landmark victory in a parliamentary by-election on Friday, strengthening her hand ahead of Brexit negotiations as her rivals suffered damaging setbacks.

The Conservatives captured the northwestern seat of Copeland that Labour have held since 1935, the first by-election gain for a governing party for 35 years and a result which piles pressure on the opposition's under-fire socialist leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Sonny Jim,

Not my problem.

But many a landmark has been hit in the fog by the over-confident sailor.

The state of rabble politics.

Finally - Green - is ready to cough some cash to pay for the BHS pensions he went Plundering earlier ( not paying ).......

Philip Green agrees 363 mln stg BHS pension deal with regulator
Tue, 28th Feb 2017 14:41

LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Britain's pensions regulator has agreed a cash settlement worth up to 363 million pounds ($451 million) with Philip Green, the former owner of collapsed department store BHS, it said on Tuesday.

The regulator said the arrangement has the support of the trustees of the two BHS pension schemes.

It will see Green provide funding for a new independent pension scheme to give pensioners the option of the same starting pension as they were originally promised by BHS, and higher benefits than they would get from the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).

Billionaire Green owned BHS for 15 years before he sold the loss-making 180-store chain to Dominic Chappell, a serial bankrupt with no retail experience, for one pound in 2015.

BHS went into administration in April 2016 and the last of its stores closed in August. Some 11,000 jobs were lost.
