Owners unemployed longer

Purchasing a home he would have set a shot in the ankle? in a forthcoming report, and unveiled on Thursday by the daily Les Echos, the Center for Strategic Analysis (CSA) establishes a correlation between unemployment and homeownership rates. According to the findings of Clement and Mahdi Ben Jelloul Schaff, two economists from the body attached to the prime ministry, "countries with the highest rates of home ownership are at the same time, those familiar with unemployment rates higher" .This observation is easily explained by them: the fight against unemployment through greater residential mobility of employees, ownership of an apartment or a house becomes troublesome when it comes to anchor a new search ext.

Of course, in France, where the proportion of owners is far below the European average, the property is not sufficient to explain the high unemployment rate. Economists point out however that the correlation is still visible. "If we compare individuals of the same socio-professionally in France, a homeowner takes longer to find work as a tenant, the duration of unemployment is about 30% higher, resulting in a higher proportion of unemployed among the tenants of the same socio-professional category, "says Clément Schaff cashadvance.

Obstruction of taxation

CAS does not take much to jump to conclusions. For the body, the France of owners required by the President of the Republic is not bad in itself, but this idea requires accommodations. To find a job elsewhere, the owner must indeed be consider selling his property and therefore pay transfer taxes, or rent it and in this case pay both rent for his new residence and tax on rental income that it collects.

The report examines various proposals to address this dilemma. It advocates the establishment of the deductibility of rents paid by tenants of landlords rent receipts, and relief transfer taxes.In return, local governments who receive those rights could raise a new tax so that local people are not moving only to pay mobility.

USA: Bernanke supported the austerity

The wind could blow the rigor of the United States, after the implementation of expansionary policies and economic support. In any case, the influential chairman of the Central Bank of the United States (Fed), Ben Bernanke, has hardened his tone, in a speech yesterday in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Fed chief said the U.S. budget deficit is "a real and growing threat, which should be reason enough for those responsible for fiscal policy put in place a credible plan to reduce deficit to a sustainable level medium term. "

And the head of the central bank added that the U.S. federal government faces rising budget deficit caused by the economic crisis and longer-term aging of the population, jeopardizing the system public health insurance and pension insurance, "said Ben Bernanke."There is no doubt on this point: that these challenges require political leaders and people make very difficult decisions and accept sacrifices."

No measures cited

But for now, the Fed chairman did not specify the kinds of decisions and sacrifices that he advocates.

After posting a record deficit of 1416 billion during its fiscal year 2008-2009, approximately 10% of gross domestic product, the Federal Government has posted a 1.26 trillion in the first eleven months of fiscal 2009 – 2010, which ended Sept. 30. The government has yet committed to reducing the deficit to 4.3% of GDP in 2012-2013, relying on a strong economic recovery. A hope that would not be sufficient in the eyes of Fed chief.

Millions swindled French banks

Three years of investigation to untangle a huge international fraud against French banks. Cost of damage: 100 million euros. The newspaper Le Parisien has revealed Sunday that the police of the research section (CT) Paris had uncovered a complex network operator of legal loopholes to abuse the credit subsidiaries of larger institutions.

"This is one of the largest cases of fraud proven in recent years," assured the newspaper a source familiar with the matter. Sixty people were indicted. They have benefited from a loophole in the lease (rental of equipment with a purchase option at the end of the contract) to pocket the millions through false purchases of construction equipment. Through a complex configuration involving 4 companies fictitious activities, the sharks were able to foil the vigilance of banks.

Material overcharged

A former company buys another, wick material overcharged. Rogue supplier occurs only during this first step. It is in fact to justify an activity to appear more credible and to borrow from banks such as BNP Paribas, Fortis, Natixis, or the People's Bank. OSEO, the funding agency for SMEs, has also been targeted.

After winning the confidence of the bank, it is to extort as much money. For this, the first company to request extensions of credit Online payday loans. Officially, he is financing the purchase of expensive building materials. The company uses the mechanism to pay for leasing equipment.

Redeem the debt …

The next step is the heart of the scam.A third company buys the bank's debt first, which purchased the equipment leasing. Clearly, the bank pays to the third company the amount of the loan granted to the first. The final step is to disappear as if by magic, the collected funds to tax havens.

… then disappear

How? A fourth company accomplice enters the scene. Established abroad it absorbs the third, which bought loans from the bank. At the same time the first company disappears. Ultimately, the bank has no one to turn to recover the amounts for loans to buy equipment for home construction.These funds have been spoofed so that investigators nourish little hope to ever recover fully.

This montage of crook, "said Le Parisien, is made possible by a fraudulent use of" TUP ", the transfer of assets, which allows a company to swallow another without too much paperwork. Other similar cases are being dismantled in the Province.

Pensions: a renewed before the Senate

Bring down the street workers who are struggling to participate in one day to strike, because "it is not" small business or because their incomes are too small to lose a day's pay. Add the families and students. By choosing this Saturday for their third day of mobilization against pension reform since the return, the unions hope to expand the audience of the demonstrators.

As the deadline approached, it is a very traditional role-playing game that is played. "There will probably more people than last time," predicts a government source as to better explain this Saturday night that the event was not as dramatic as expected (September 23, between 1 and 3 million people had demonstrated). Unions, by contrast, are cautious attack, the better able then to talk show of force."It shows no purpose because it targets those who work where we, the unions are the least present, mobilization is therefore very difficult to predict, justify Eric Aubin," Mr. Retreats "of the CGT. And those who participated in the days of 7 and 23 are likely to say that it's time for others. "

Not certain that students will join the massive processions as one of their union, the UNEF, encourages them. And even if FP is trying to revive the myth of the struggle against the CPE-won in 2006 by all organizations of employees, combined with youth-in a statement co-signed with the students of Fidl.

Next meeting October 12

"Our goal is to do as well as the last day," said Francis still Chérèque (CFDT) in Liberation.The next big event to organize is already set to Tuesday 12 October, halfway through the text of the Senate.

The debates begin Tuesday in the Upper House. In committee, senators have made some alterations. Early retirement for disability will be relaxed. The current beneficiaries of the retirement allowance equivalent (unemployed at the end of all their rights with quarters but not yet age 60) affected by the postponement of legal age may continue to collect until they are pensioners.

More embarrassing for the government, the commission has removed an article opening the door for resource transfers between funds.This article implicitly acknowledged that if the reform should help balance globally by 2018 the retirement system, each credit union involved does not necessarily come out of red-chair of the basic scheme for employees (CNAV) considers that he missed another 4 billion per year in 2018. But, the FO MEDEF, the social partners have protested against the article, seeing the threat of siphoning Agirc-Arrco they manage quite well.

Nothing, however, at this stage about a possible relaxation of from 65 to 67 years, between 2016 and 2023, the age of retirement without discount. The Senate expects "ciphers" to consider a change, especially for women who raised three children, has provided this week its president, Gerard Larcher. In fact, a possible step will be validated or not next week.And magnitude of the event tomorrow will weigh as much as the "ciphers" in the balance.
