Iceland Chief woos Goldman to reclaim his supermarket: Malcolm Walker is in talks with several banks, including Goldman Sachs, about a loan that would allow him to reclaim control of the Iceland supermarket chain he founded. Iceland has been put up for sale by the liquidators of Landsbanki, the bankrupt Icelandic bank. It took control of a 67% stake in the business in 2008 when the grocer’s previous Owner Baugur collapsed, leaving Landsbanki with billions of pounds of outstanding loans. Shoppers count pennies and leave credit cards at home: Shoppers are using their credit cards less and their cash and debit cards more as they try to manage their finances more effectively, according to the British Retail Consortium. It’s annual Cost of Payment Collection Survey, which measured almost eight billion transactions in Britain’s shops and online, found that cash remains king, being used for more than half of all retail payments, while the proportion of transactions that involve debit cards rose from just over 29% in 2009 to almost 34% last year. After China and Japan, retreat reaches Poland: Vodafone is set to raise £1 billion this week by quitting Poland’s second-largest mobile phone network as part of a retreat from countries where it does not have outright control. Vodafone owns nearly 25% of Polkomtel, and its Co-Owners — which include a state-owned copper miner, oil refiner and coal exporter — are pushing for a sale to be completed by the end of the month. LSE will ‘absolutely not’ be taken over: The London Stock Exchange will “absolutely not” be put up for sale if its takeover of Canada’s TMX Group falls apart, its Chief Executive, Xavier Rolet, insisted. Shareholders in the LSE and TMX, which owns the Montreal and Toronto stock exchanges, are due to vote on an agreed £2.44 billion tie-up this week. However, the outcome is in the balance after an under-pressure LSE sweetened its offer for TMX last Wednesday night, only to be trumped by the Maple Group, a rival consortium, just hours later. BT in line of fire in war against web pirates: The King’s Speech will be the talk of the town again this week in a landmark trial that could force BT to block access to a website laden with pirated films and music. The push to shut the Newzbin2 site, which carries 75 different versions of the Oscar-winning film for illegal download, is being driven by the Motion Picture Association. It is seeking a court order to force BT to stop millions of users from visiting the site over its network. Oil windfall tax ‘to miss new fields’: North Sea oil and gas operators are becoming increasingly optimistic that the Treasury will exempt new fields from its controversial windfall tax, MPs will be told this week. Treasury officials are in discussions with companies about how to make sure the tax does not force them to scrap plans to develop new fields, which would result in a reduction in tax revenue and increase the U.K.’s reliance on imported oil and gas. Treasury scales down the cost of bailing out banks: The Government is expected to argue that the cost of the bailout of Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group has fallen thanks to the fees and taxes they have paid, making it easier to push ahead with a sale of shares in both banks. The Treasury’s “in” price was 50p a share for its 82% stake in RBS and 74p for its 41% holding in Lloyds. Bribery law ‘could cost British companies billions’: British companies stand to lose up to £15 billion of business in overseas markets as a result of strict new anti-bribery laws, according to research. The Bribery Act, set to come into force on 01 July, will streamline existing anti-corruption legislation into what lawyers believe will be the toughest graft-busting regime in the world. Stores resort to early sales: Britain’s retailers are resorting to early sales to lure shoppers discouraged from spending by economic gloom and the wet summer. Research by PwC found that 70% of high street stores were on sale or advertising promotions such as 3 for 2 in their windows compared with 60% last year and 40% in 2009. PwC said the early bout of warm weather and the feel- good factor of the royal wedding drove healthy sales in late April and early May but that shoppers had reverted to type and were wary as austerity measures bite. Litigate adds to flurry of entries on Aim: A fund that claims to have a different approach to conventional litigation funding is planning to raise £100 million on Aim next month. Litigate Income Fund has developed a loan-based model. It is targeting a return of 13.5%, with a high level of capital protection, and expects to pay its first quarterly dividend by the end of the year. NewRiver circles four shopping centres: NewRiver will tap into investor interest in real estate through an equity raising to fund a new portfolio purchase that will more than double its market value. The retail property company, led by David Lockhart, will this week look to raise new equity as well as debt from HSBC to acquire four shopping centres comprising more than 500,000 sq ft of retail space. Microsoft steps into the spectrum space race: The great and the good from the media and telecoms industries will gather in Cambridge on Wednesday for the launch of an eagerly awaited technology trial. Microsoft is leading a consortium that will investigate whether radio spectrum not wanted for transmitting terrestrial television can instead support a new generation of mobile broadband networks. Basel dazzle ‘em: a certain ratio: It is a wonder members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision can get out of bed each morning. Thirty three years of trying to make the financial world a safer place was rewarded with the biggest crisis in generations. Still, they cannot be faulted for perseverance. On Saturday, the committee’s oversight body announced it had agreed on how to assess the systemic importance of banks. What is more, additional tier 1 common equity will be required depending on a bank’s systemic importance, ranging from 1 to 3.5%. An elegant idea, but the proposal is flawed for three reasons. First, it is unlikely to help solve the supposed too-big-to-fail problem. The hope is that at the margin banks will shrink their empires in order to be allowed lower capital ratios. More likely is that scale in certain businesses becomes even more crucial to supporting returns on equity in the face of lower leverage. Or banks will take more risk. Penalising systemic banks would be in addition to already nasty falls in tier 1 as a result of Basel III. Planned changes to the calculation of tier 1 could reduce the ratio for the median U.S. bank by 300 basis points, according to Barclays Capital, potentially requiring some $250 billion of new capital. Governance in Japan: Keyence’s turning point: In Japan, the annual meeting of shareholders tends to be a desultory affair. Most companies cram the event into the last few days of June, at short notice, to satisfy the law that shareholder’ rights are exercised within three months of closing books. Until last year, companies did not even have to follow up by disclosing how shareholders voted – just whether resolutions were passed. The annual meeting at Keyence, however – one of the season’s earliest – may have represented something of a turning point. For years, foreign investors had been badgering the Osaka-based manufacturer of sensors and measuring instruments to pay out more cash. The vote reflected unhappiness. Stripping out Mr Takizaki’s 25% holding, just 57% of shareholders supported the income allocation policy – an astonishing revolt by Japanese standards. Russian IPOs: it’s not rocket science: Russian companies have a patchy record of listing on the London stock market. That is a pity. Russia has a growing number of companies – and not just in natural resources – that would benefit from a listing, and London offers a deep pool of international capital. Yet more than half of the Russian companies that have announced plans for initial public offerings this year did not actually list. Issuers and their advisers should understand what is going wrong. Listing is not rocket science, as Global Ports Investments proved last week. One of Russia’s biggest operators of container terminals, its Owners – three Russian billionaires – priced the offering 7% below the top of the offer range. That valued it in line with the $2.3 billion set when they bought a 10% stake from Sberbank at the end of May, and leaves plenty of room for first-day upside for new investors. U.S. associations urge Greek immigrants to return to help: Athens Park in New York is a reminder of a time before the words Greece, debt and crisis had to be used together. A statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, stands at its entrance – a gift from the city of Athens in 1998. Not far away is a bust of the philosopher Aristotle that arrived in 2005 courtesy of Chalkidiki, a region in the north of Greece. Beyond a group of children playing football sits a statue of Socrates, presumably thinking. China’s £1 billion business deal with U.K.: Britain and China are expected to announce more than £1 billion-worth of deals during Chinese premier Wen Jiabao’s historic three-day visit to the U.K. Mr Wen started his tour on Sunday with a trip to the MG Motor car factory in Longbridge, near Birmingham, which is owned by China’s biggest car manufacturer SAIC. The IEA cannot hold back the tide of higher oil prices: That’s the 60 million barrel question posed by Deutsche Bank analysts, who are sceptical that this amount in extra reserves will dampen prices in the longer term. Ironically, action from the International Energy Agency (IEA) appears to have added fuel to fears about a supply squeeze on the horizon. Tower could be a catalyst for Hargreaves: Results are expected to be in line, with net debt lower than expected at £66 million, down from £99.6 million at the interim stage. One potential catalyst in the next few months will be a decision on a planning application for the Tower Colliery expansion in Wales. News on this front has been a long time coming. But a meeting has now been scheduled by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council on 04 July to consider the planning application for the Tower project. Hargreaves will provide management at the colliery in return for a fixed fee on an initial term of 12 months. The shares are up 92% since their initial recommendation in February 2009 at 542½p, compared with a FTSE 100 up 46%. They are now trading on a May 2011 earnings multiple of 10.1 times, falling to 8.7 in 2012. The yield is just 1.4%. Hargreaves Services at £10.40: Questor Says “Buy”. Spark lacking at Dixons due to wary shoppers: Nick Cadbury, Dixons’ then Finance Director gave Questor a tour of the company’s new-format store in London’s Tottenham Court Road. In the year to April, Dixons posted pretax losses of £244 million after a series of non-cash write-downs. However, once the accounting charges are stripped out, the company made a pretax profit of £85.3 million, which was in line with analysts’ expectations. Of course, things could be worse. Kesa confirmed last week that the business was up for sale. Dixons is not interested. Net debt came in at £207 million, ahead of the initial guidance by Dixons of £220 million. The pension deficit is £224 million; £20 million lower than last year. Comparison going forward will be very tough, especially as sales in the first half of last year were boosted by demand for flat-screen TVs ahead of the World Cup finals in South Africa. There is no doubt that the valuation looks “cheap”. The shares are trading on an April 2012 earnings multiple of 8.9, falling to 7.3. No dividend is being paid. The City is mixed in its view. Of 23 analysts that cover the shares and are monitored by Bloomberg, five say buy ratings, 13 say hold stance and five say sell. The average price target is 17.6p. Dixons Retail at 16p: Questor Says “Avoid”. International banking regulator calls for rates to be raised worldwide: Central banks around the world must raise interest rates soon to bring inflation under control, international regulators have warned. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) – the central bank for central bankers – said, in its annual report published on Sunday, that the era of loose monetary policy must end. Greek reforms may be hard to deliver, warns Deputy Prime Minister: Greece may be unable to implement the full range of budget cuts and privatisations needed to qualify for international aid, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister has admitted. Theodoros Pangalos predicted that the Greek parliament may reject certain key reforms which are part of the government’s €78 billion (£69 billion) austerity package, such as fiscal reforms and state asset sales. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp facing £12 billion BskyB bill: Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp may have to hand over nearly £12 billion to gain full control of BSkyB. Independent shareholders have told the media baron they won’t sell out for less than £11 a share as Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt prepares to rubber-stamp the takeover this week. Bank of England in the firing line for soaring inflation: The Bank of England has suffered a dressing down at the hands of international financial regulators over its failure to keep inflation in check. The Swiss-based Bank of International Settlements – the central bank for central banks – took a swipe at Threadneedle Street as it called for rapid rises in interest rates across the globe. More jobs set to go as Lloyds puts finishing touches to self-help plan: Lloyds Banking Group was putting the finishing touches to a new self-help plan, which is expected to trigger a fresh round of job losses and see executive perks severely curtailed. In a long–awaited strategy update, boss António Horta-Osório will on Thursday outline a series of cost cuts aimed at slashing £1 billion from overheads. Asian strengths should drive Prudential dividend growth: Readers are no doubt familiar with the Pru and M&G Investments but some may not know that it operates heavily in Asia and in the U.S. In May this year Prudential reported a strong set of first quarter results, with premium sales of £888 million, a 9% year-on-year rise. New business profits and margins also came in higher than expected, most notably in the US and Asia. Fear factor over new bribery laws hitting overseas deals: Companies in Scotland are losing out on “substantial” overseas contracts due to the requirements of the new Bribery Act, according to a specialist in business crime. Tom Stocker, a partner at law firm McGrigors, said a number of his clients had decided not to bid for specific contracts for fear they could be prosecuted under the Act, which comes into force on Friday. Gloomy outlook for retail as more firms fold: Several more high street retail casualties are likely over the next year following a flurry of recent company collapses, the Head of the Scottish Retail Consortium forecast. Trading headwinds for retailers remain fierce, and further job losses from the public austerity programme making consumers tighten their belts even more will spark takeovers and falls into administration, says SRC Director, Fiona Moriarty. Boost for Europe as China's leader pledges support for single currency: Troubled bond and currency markets are expect to get a shot in the arm when they reopen after a weekend pledge of support for European sovereign debt and the euro from the Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao. Wen offered his country's unequivocal support for Europe and its common currency amid the eurozone's debt crisis centring on rising fears of a massive Greek default. The week ahead: Stagecoach on track for healthy annual growth: Annual results from Perth-based bus and rail group Stagecoach will be a trading highlight this week. The numbers are expected to be impressive after a recent group update reported progress in all divisions. Retail, pubs and gambling will also be represented in the companies reporting numbers to the City as we hit the half-way mark of 2011. Livestock Champions at Royal Highland Show announced: The Beef Shorthorn champion took the overall beef interbreed championship for the first time since 1999. The overall winner, six-year-old bull Trojan of Craigeassie, was bought at the Perth bull sales in 2007 for 6,000 guineas by Harry Horrell, Pode farm, Peterborough, from breeders Lord and Lady Glendyne, Craigeassie, Forfar. Trojan had picked up the same top award at the East of England show in Peterborough just a week ago. Andrew Arbuckle: Highland Show happy to be bowled over by its own success: If There are problems with the Royal Highland Show, they are mainly associated with its success, according to the organisers of this year's event which closed its four-day run last night. The show attracted 182,984 visitors in total, the second highest attendance in its 51 years at Ingliston behind last year's record 187,644. Postcard? There's an app for that: A 32-year-old serial entrepreneur has launched a smartphone "app" which is aiming modernise the tradition of sending postcards this summer. Former St Andrews University student Luke Heron has launched the ByPost Postcard Make app, which allows iPhone users to send real postcards using pictures they have taken with their phone for 99p.
