Our sympathies naturally lie with the millions of people who have been affected. It is clear that the situation in Japan is extremely unsettled and the response by corporates, households and the government very uncertain. Nevertheless, we can begin to scope out the extent of the damage caused to the Japanese economy and the likely timescale for recovery. The major uncertainty at this moment in time, and the significant difference from Japan’s last major earthquake in Kobe in 1995, is the extent of the damage to the energy sector and the length of time it may last. http://www.createfs.com/financial-news-detail.php?bid=14 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:57:15 GMT whisper113 Despite today's announcement that the base rate is to remain at 0.5% most of the high street lenders have increased their fixed rate mortgage deals.

The headlines that employers will have to start making pension contributions for all of their employees from 2012 are somewhat misleading as the majority of employers will not need to comply with the rules from that date. The start date for the roll out of the scheme is October 2012 but this will impact on employers with 120,000 employees or more. For those with a more modest workforce the start date varies, for example those with less than 500 employees the date is 1 January 2014 and for those with less than 50 employees the earliest start date is 1 August 2014. http://www.createfs.com/financial-news-detail.php?bid=1 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 11:29:52 GMT
