			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Suppression of PTZ + in the former. </p>
<p> Real estate agents who regularly praised the virtue of PTZ + (interest-free loan +) for a first house purchase new or old are particularly concerned about the impact of its removal. Now, this loan will be confined to new housing, generally more expensive .. &quot;This offered the most fragile families a path to home ownership, says Jean-François Buet, general secretary of the Fnaim. Its end is a bad signal, we move away from France owners desired by the President. &quot; Many professionals would rather see the PTZ + subject to means test rather than disappear. </p>
<p> &quot;Of the 750,000 transactions this year, 300,000 were funded with a PTZ + in the former and 230,000 are for goods that are not primary residences, says Jean-François Buet.The new data on so three quarters of the transactions. &quot; According to calculations by the federation of real estate, sales volume may decline by 200,000 acquisitions. </p>
<p> For his part, Michel Mouillart economist estimates that the measure &quot;the crisis will be more extensive than in 2008 and will have a negative impact on the volume of mortgage loans.&quot; </p>
<p> And on the price? In addition to budget savings, the measures are supposed to help regulate prices. &quot;They do not go down that much, said Sebastien de Lafond, president of the network MeilleursAgents.com. For the suppression of PTZ + will lower an already weak demand, but at the same time the tax on capital gains holding back the offer. &quot;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> • The stock market environment is in many ways more fragile than in 2008 </p>
<p> After the capitulation market in recent days, many investors are wondering whether it is time to return the purchase. Beyond a simple technical rebound, the chances of quick recovery courses are limited for the simple reason that the current stock market is in some ways more fragile than in 2008. Signs of slowdown are multiplying in the United States, Europe could enter recession in the coming months, and the deterioration in manufacturing activity in China shows that the theory of decoupling between emerging and rich countries no longer holds the ramp. Response capacity of government to stimulate consumption are practically nil, and the effect of accompanying policies of central banks has reached its limits.The current crisis comes mainly from the usual market issues related to the level of market valuation or the correction of excesses after a period of intense speculation. The epicenter of the crisis is now in the euro area, with governments overwhelmed by the level of public debt and unable to agree on the management of their common currency. The solution to these difficulties lies in the hands of &quot;political&quot; and not in the trading rooms and in business. This is what the operators despair! </p>
<p> • The core business is a real force that </p>
<p> The recovery will be difficult, but much of the bad news began to be integrated into the course. The precipitous decline of the indices shows that the Exchange has already taken a good step ahead of the crisis.A CAC 40 to 2800 points means, for example, that investors expect an increase, not corporate profits, but a 30% drop in profits in 2012. This pessimism is starting to become excessive, especially for industrial groups, such as Air Liquide, Schneider Electric and Michelin, a strong presence in emerging markets where business slows but does not decrease <a href="http://personal-loan-quick.com">instant personal loans guaranteed</a><!-- . -->. The same goes for business as L&#39;Oreal, Essilor International and Pernod Ricard, which have strong brands and where margins are not challenged. The treatment of more defensive companies, such as France Telecom, Sanofi, or GDF Suez, also reached its limits.These values ​​offer attractive yields of between 10 to 6%. </p>
<p> • The plight of the shareholders of the banks could come to an end </p>
<p> In three months, the market value of the three largest French banks, Societe Generale, Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas, has been halved. This collapse is comparable to the fall in prices occurred after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Investors have punished the weak provisions made in the accounts to meet the commitments of banks in the peripheral countries of the euro area and a general loss of confidence in respect of institutions in the euro area. Far from scaring the market, the rumor of a possible entry of the state in their capital in the form of preference shares is now likely to reassure investors.10 to 15 billion euros to recapitalize matter which it would lead to a &quot;dilution&quot; of shareholders limited. After the destruction of 50 billion capitalization in the summer, the amounts mentioned are already largely taken into account by the markets. Bank stocks will certainly remain under pressure, but the plight of their shareholders might come to an end. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Concerns about the health of the U.S. economy may once again to weigh on the markets in Paris.

<p> Thus, the market had expected better, especially after worrying about the International Monetary Fund.The day before, the institution headed by Christine did not hesitate to raise the specter of a global recession and launched at policy makers in the world &quot;a fervent call to action&quot;.

Manufacturing activity in the country has deteriorated in September, reaching its lowest level in two months, according to preliminary PMI bank HSBC said on Thursday. PMI Purchasing Managers calculated by HSBC in September reached 49.4 against 49.9 in August, knowing that a figure below 50 means contraction.&quot;We are seeing a moderation in growth as in the past two months. Fears of a hard landing of the Chinese economy are unjustified, &quot;said in a note Qu Hongbin, the chief economist for China at the bank. </p>
<p> In addition, investors are increasingly worried about the evolution of the crisis of public finances in Europe <a href="http://payday-nofax.com">no fax cash advance</a><!-- . -->. Greece announced Wednesday its intention to launch new austerity measures to convince the Troika and obtain payment of a new tranche of 8 billion euros in October that will allow it to avoid bankruptcy. </p>

It was worth 1.3544 dollars per euro, against $ 1.37 the day before in Asia.Oil falls as himself down under the effect of a rise in the dollar and pessimistic forecasts from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) for the world&#39;s largest economy.In early electronic trading, a barrel of &quot;light sweet crude&quot; for October delivery gave up $ 1.21 to 84.71 dollars per barrel of Brent North Sea crude for October delivery lost $ 1.26 to 109, $ 10. </p>
<p> On the macroeconomic front, France, the index of labor costs in industry, construction and service sector in the second quarter will be released at noon. </p>
<p> In the U.S., the weekly claims for unemployment benefits will be unveiled at 14.30, and the composite indicator of economic activity for the month of August in 16 hours.</p>
<p> Earlier this afternoon, the markets also expect the statements of Robert Zoellick and Christine Lagarde, respectively president of the World Bank and IMF Executive Director, at the opening of the annual meetings in Washington </p>
<p> Values ​​to follow
<p> • Banking </p>

<p> On the macroeconomic front, the U.S., housing construction has increased its decline in August, falling to its lowest level since May, according to official figures published Tuesday in Washington. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Three months after threatening to degrade the notes of BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and Credit Agricole, put under surveillance, the U.S. rating agency Moody&#39;s could increase to act shortly shortly. According to sources familiar with the matter, the decision was &quot;imminent.&quot; &quot;It comes at the end of three months to impose surveillance,&quot; says a source. The rating agency that had accompanied its implementation in June under the supervision of a negative outlook was indeed clear the way for a deterioration in credit ratings. One step for BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole and Societe Generale for two.And because of their exposure to Greece amounted to 4 billion euros to BNP Paribas, Société Générale 1.6 billion and 320 million to Crédit Agricole (June 2011 figures). </p>
<p> With the crisis of government debt in the euro area, to which Europeans are struggling to meet, investors are increasingly worried about the strength of the European banking system. The situation has become such an outflow of Greece in the euro area is openly discussed by senior politicians in Germany and the Netherlands. In exchange, banking stocks suffered a pounding in order. Since the beginning of the year, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole and Societe Generale have lost between a &quot;large&quot; third and 60% of their value.On the first day of September, the losses of the three titles are respectively 17.45%, 22.33% and 27.69%. </p>
<p> Analysts relativize
<p> Especially, a controversy arose in late August on the valuation of debt securities by certain Greek French banks. The IASB, the body responsible for setting international accounting standards, criticized some financial institutions are not named, have valued their claims on the Greek state in ways internal development rather than by using market prices. Which would have allowed banks to spend less severe impairment in their accounts. Even if they have applied a discount of 21% on government debt they have in their accounts, the three banks still have about six billion euros of Greek sovereign debt.</p>
<p> Some analysts relativize however, the scope of the surveillance on June 15 the three French banks by Moody&#39;s by saying that the other two rating agencies, Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s (S &amp; P) and Fitch attributed to them have lower grades. Crédit Agricole SA is now rated &quot;Aa1&quot; by Moody&#39;s, and BNP Paribas and Societe Generale are rated &quot;Aa2&quot;. S &amp; P assigned the notes &#39;AA&#39; with a negative outlook to BNP and &quot;A +&quot; with stable outlook to Crédit Agricole and Societe Generale. Fitch is on his side to &quot;AA-&quot; with stable outlook to BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole, and &quot;A +&quot; with stable outlook for Societe Generale. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The respite will not last long: after a week of relative calm, the European banking sector has again stumbled in the stock market Monday. Britain&#39;s RBS, French Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank or German for example, have dropped out of respectively 12.32%, 8.64% and 7.53%. Even the champion of Frankfurt stock exchange now weighs less than half its book value! This increased tension is supplied from Friday with a new bundle of anxiety on the macroeconomic front. Investors fear that gives that summer debt crisis in Europe and the United States against a backdrop of slowing growth, worsening. The European foot-dragging on the Greek case illustrates the difficulty of political reassurance. Terms of private sector contribution in the second rescue of Greece, to be completed at the root end of August and early September, and still raises many questions.The debates are multiplying on the accounting treatment of such assistance, and the right level required for impairment of securities Greek, while the economy sinks further into crisis. </p>
<p> 200 billion euros in recapitalization
<p> Asked about the idea of ​​requiring banks assessment of sovereign debt in the market, the CEO of Deutsche Bank, Josef Ackermann, said Monday that &quot;it was forcing an open door to say that many banks Europe would not survive. &quot; Especially since the doubts about the ability of Italy to keep its austerity plan and that of France to absorb a succession of shocks without further tighten the screws are becoming more vivid.The CDS on the two countries, these insurance policies that protect a non-payment, Monday reached a record high. </p>
<p> Under these conditions, the crusade of the new Executive Director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, against the underfunding of the European banking sector is gaining credibility. According to the Financial Times, its equipment valued at 200 billion euros on equity gap for the entire industry. The chairman of BNP Paribas, Michel Pebereau, said Monday: &quot;The stress tests in Europe (&#8230;) suggest that it is not so obvious that today the European banking system as a whole may need to be recapitalized.Some banks, no doubt. &quot;Boss BPCE, and past president of the French Banking Federation (FBF), François Perol, said he did not think&quot; that (statement of Christine Lagarde) was referring to French banks. &quot; </p>
<p> On the other side of the Atlantic, the signals are no more reassuring. The disappointing U.S. employment published Friday that result in maintaining a high unemployment rate to 9.1%, have cast a chill on the market. The same day, Washington expressed its willingness to prosecute seventeen banks for selling its agencies refinancing, without the correct information, asset-backed mortgages, subprime. The legal battle casts a new threat to the sector. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The day after a session sharply higher on Wall Street and in Asia, the Paris market continued its rebound sharply on Tuesday after rising 2.2% Monday. At the opening, the benchmark index of the Paris Bourse was awarded 1.22%. But at midday, the CAC 40 is pressed into the red (-0.40% to 3141.62 points) with shortness of breath and banking stocks before the release of major U.S. indicators. </p>
<p> Meanwhile, the announcement in late morning, a confidence index of entrepreneurs and consumers in the euro area fell sharply in August may have contributed to this turnaround.Throughout the European Union, the confidence of business leaders and consumers has declined even more significantly, by 5 percentage points to 97.3 points, against 102.3 points in July. </p>
<p> The business sentiment index in the euro zone, published separately by Brussels, also fell for the sixth straight month to $ 0.07 against 0.44 points in July. </p>

<p> Fears about the health of banks
<p> The day before, call to order by Christine Lagarde bound for European banks has prompted European leaders to defend the institutions of the old continent. &quot;European banks are much better capitalized today than they were a year ago. This was confirmed by stress tests conducted in July, &quot;assured the Commissioner of Economic Affairs Olli Rehn. </p>
<p> But on Tuesday, it was the turn of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to throw fuel on the fire.The IASB believes that the provisions made by banks and European insurers about their exposure to Greek debt have been dumped, reports the Financial Times. According to the newspaper, BNP Paribas and CNP Assurances are particularly concerned by this risk. BNP Paribas was down 0.45% in mid-session at 34.24 euros and CNP Assurances does not earn more than 0.20% to 12.35 euros. </p>
<p> When asked, BNP Paribas said that it had &quot;pre-funded its exposure to Greece in full agreement with its auditors and the competent authorities, according to the plan drawn up by the Union on July 21&quot; to help Greece, according to a spokesman .The bank had said on August 2 had provisioned 534 million euros to compensate for lost value of Greek bonds. </p>
<p> For its part, the CNP said it was &quot;in line with the agreement of July 21,&quot; which provided the threshold of 21%, &quot;validated by our listeners <a href="http://instant-payday-loan-service.com">no teletrack payday loan</a><!-- . -->.&quot; </p>
<p> Also Tuesday, the president of MEDEF, Laurence Parisot, in turn criticized the words of Christine Lagarde, saying his statement &quot;incomprehensible. European banks are strong. And for French banks, we must bear in mind that we have banks among the strongest in the world, &quot;said the boss of bosses of Europe 1. </p>
<p> The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also generally lowered its economic growth forecasts for 2011 and 2012, leaving unchanged the forecast of Germany for the current year.</p>
<p> Still on macroeconomic indicators will be out today. Before trading, the markets did not take umbrage at the publication of a fall, but strong early sales of new homes in the second quarter in France. </p>
<p> Are also expected in mid-day figures for business failures. </p>
<p> Overseas, the index of consumer confidence, the housing (Case-Shiller) and the minutes of the last Fed meeting will also facilitate the session. </p>
<p> Arcelor-Mittal is growing in Australia
<p> On the corporate side, Arcelor-Mittal (0.45% to 14.41 euros) is about to take control of Australia&#39;s Macarthur, world&#39;s largest producer of pulverized coal, in association with the American Peabody Energy . The tender offer made by the European steel amounts to 5.16 billion dollars.Macarthur&#39;s management finally yielded to the new offer revised upwards by the Arcelor-Peobody tandem: it is 16 Australian dollars (11.8 euros) per share, against A $ 15.50 earlier. </p>
<p> The semi-annual publications are now many, especially among heavyweights rating. Note that the Y real, Havas, Bouygues, Colas, Vinci, Bollore, NRJ Group and Devoteam detail their half-year after the market closes. </p>
<p> In addition, Ipsen (8.62% to 24.05 euros) announced revenues up 5.3% in the first half.He also announced an upward adjustment of its sales forecast for 2011 in favor of a less pronounced decline than expected sales in general practice. </p>
<p> Hermès International climbed 1.86% to 263.35 euros before preparing to publiecation on Wednesday, excellent interim results, widely anticipated by the market after the increase last month by the group&#39;s growth forecasts sales and profitability. From January to June, sales of luxury brand famous for its bags and silk scarves were up 22% to EUR 1.3 billion, more than expected by analysts, according to data released in July . </p>
<p> The French shipowner CMA-CGM said that 2011 should be &quot;a good year&quot; for the group, claiming to have already funded the bulk of its investments for 2011 and 2012.The company said to have $ 1.7 billion (1.17 billion euros) in cash at the end of June, July and have paid $ 550 million bond line, while press reports evoked ago few weeks of possible cash flow problems. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Declarations of Christine Lagarde at the Jackson Hole conference in the U.S. have caused confusion. Concerned about the deteriorating global economy, the executive director of the International Monetary Fund said before the central bankers that European banks&#39; need urgent recapitalization. &quot; The former economy minister added: &quot;This is the key to cut the chain of contagion.&quot; </p>
<p> Thus, for the IMF, &quot;the most efficient would be a substantial recapitalization mandatory European banks with private funds in the first place but also of public funds if necessary.&quot; Christine Lagarde has called for research by the policies of a common vision for the future of the continent. </p>
<p> But the executive director of the IMF gave no indication about how to get there.Thus, Sebastian Bartholomew, credit analyst for Louis Capital Markets believes that the statements of Christine Lagarde is &quot;a call to order IMF but do not provide concrete solutions.&quot; The specialist also wondered what private funds would be inclined to give money to banks, &quot;who wants to bring money to the banks unless the States?&quot; Support from private funds, wanted by the former tenant Bercy seems to be excluded. </p>
<p> Regulators want details
<p> Thus, fearing that such a disadvantage about the banking sector already affected by the stroke of tobacco stock this summer, some regulators would consider asking the IMF chief to clarify his remarks, reports the Financial Times.Indeed, while Europe is mobilizing to try to reassure investors on the health of major institutions of the old continent, reports Christine Lagarde could undermine their efforts <a href="http://free-credit-reports-repair.com">credit reports free</a><!-- . -->. The stress tests were particularly aimed at reassuring the financial community. French Banking Federation (FBF) was also stressed that French banks &quot;have passed the stress tests in July European and ACP, the national supervisor, performs regular checks to ensure the smooth operation of banks&#39; . </p>
<p> As such, the FBF reiterated this morning that the French system has full confidence. The Federation reiterated, like what she wrote on August 19, that &#39;capital levels are well above regulatory requirements and programs for refinancing in the medium and long term are conducted under conditions quite satisfactory. &quot;</p>
<p> And the banks themselves have reiterated they do not need to raise new money. In early August, to mark the publication of its results, Societe Generale has reiterated that it has strengthened its financial strength, and for BNP Paribas. August 25, Crédit Agricole has also sought to reassure. The bank, whose accounts the second quarter suffered a heavy burden to Greece, said it had to end in July of more than 120 billion of liquid reserves immediately available. Jean-Paul Chifflet, general manager of the bank, had also told the BBC: &quot;We have no difficulty in funding us.&quot; </p>
<p> In exchange, banking stocks are holding up well CAC40.Credit Agricole advance of 1.1%, 1.3% BNP Paribas, Natixis and Societe Generale 1.7% against an increase of 1.3% for the CAC 40. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> LE FIGARO &#8211; The decline in unemployment in the early years seems to have forgotten. Are you discouraged by the new bad number? </p>
<p> Xavier Bertrand &#8211; Unfortunately, it is in the same line as the previous two months. Not surprisingly, with growth at 0%, not to mention that July is traditionally bad (9 increases in the last 11 years). But this does not detract from my belief that unemployment will go back down. Social plans are declining. Redundancies do not go back. The acting, which is always a precursor, is good. Job creation is strong even though they are largely absorbed by the increase in the labor force. And new measures we have taken in recent months, including learning, will begin to bear fruit. Nadine Morano, we hope to be many more such apprentices in September.There is no question of fatalism. </p>
<p> Where are we on assisted contracts? </p>
<p> On assisted contracts, CAE 222 435 (non-profit sector) were signed in late July, there are still 200,000 to be filled by the end of the year next CIE (businesses) there are still 34,000 of the 62,000 expected this year. Many assisted contracts co-funded by the departments will also be released in the second half. I also expect a significant commitment of councils and they play the game totally! Gard, where I was Friday, has proposed assisted contracts to 2.1% of recipients of RSA, it increased to 10%, which is our national goal, it would make 1500 people out of unemployment! Or it would cost the department 411 euros per month, against 467 for the current RSA. </p>
<p> Employment center director must change and adopt a more decentralized operation no later than the end of the year.Should speed things up? </p>
<p> We can not wait until the end of the year. Each agency will have a &quot;drawing rights&quot; on training, will be delegated more funding, allowing it to be much more responsive. The administrative part will be lighter with fewer indicators to inform. I remember the beginning of September the social partners and all those involved for me they confirm their agreement for the implementation of this new roadmap. </p>
<p> You loaded earlier in the year the sub-prefects to ensure the &quot;connection&quot; between job seekers and business leaders who, in the same area, have difficulty recruiting. This gives does it work? </p>
<p> Where there is a total momentum, the results are undeniable, even if it is too early to give figures.This coordination also involves the activation of the &quot;local public service employment&quot; in a pool which includes employment center, local missions, houses of employment, communities, business leaders &#8230; It&#39;s not necessarily spectacular, but it&#39;s effective. I meet again all the sub-prefects of France in September to set up action plans in each employment area, and next week I will hold a video conference with regional directors of employment center and the regional prefects  <a href="http://easy-quick-payday-loans.com">quick cash</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> A new device, providing better compensation and enhanced monitoring to retrenched, will be in effect on September 1. But it is the purpose of fixed term and temporary employment that increase.Is it necessary to invent devices for these cases? </p>
<p> We will be attentive to the suggestions of the social partners, the Prime Minister receives these days. </p>
<p> The budget for the job will he planed, given the savings measures announced Wednesday by François Fillon? </p>
<p> Tradeoffs are made by the president and the prime minister: he will be fully preserved in 2011 as in 2012. </p>
<p> Is it time to reduce the Employer contribution rebates on overtime, which amounts to increasing labor costs? </p>
<p> For the employer, the trigger, it is not the exemptions is the fact of having more work. And I remember that employee side, the logic of buying power is fully preserved, the changes will not remove one euro cent for employees in overtime.</p>
<p> The tax on very high incomes will be 3%, from 500,000 euros. The government will leave there to tighten the criteria, as part of the majority want? </p>
<p> Parliament will have to discuss, this is normal. Simply ask the question shows that the principle of this tax, which I defended from the beginning, is now widely accepted. The demand for justice is understood by all. For the same reason, I support the approximation of taxes on labor and heritage announcements Wednesday also go in this direction. </p>
<p> The complementary health are likely to raise their rates after being taxed more than one billion additional &#8230; </p>
<p> Nothing have to. A number of them are private companies that show significant benefits and therefore have room to maneuver.It is indeed a tax on insurance contracts, not the insured, in contrast to an increase in user fees such that we did not want. </p>
<p> The anti-deficit plan provides ten times the revenue increases that additional savings. Can we make more efforts in that direction? </p>
<p> We remove the tax loopholes. There is no general increase in taxes, as advocated by the Socialists and the way they do it is a real brand in the local communities they lead. This would be a policy that would break the prospects for growth. But it&#39;s true, France is a country with a high level of public spending and taxes. Pension reform, the non-replacement of an official two &#8230; reduce public spending.I am confident it will go much further in the coming years, do not hesitate to come back some expenses by asking systematically question: what people really value for money? The efficacy and justice must be the two criteria of the expense. </p>
