Adidas: World Cup Winner

IIPM BUSINESS & ECONOMY
Germany may not have won the FIFA World Cup, but German sporting goods company Adidas has reported a whopping 24 per cent rise in its second-quarter net profit and a 60 per cent leap in sales – on the back of huge sales at the time of the World Cup soccer tournament. Net profit attributable to shareholders rose to 82 million Euros from 66 million Euros a year earlier. Adidas had supplied shirts for the host team Germany and are now looking at a net income of 500 million Euros for the year.

Quite interest’ing

Furthermore, how often does one find emerging markets preceding the developed world in the context of international finance, as is the case currently! And as IMF has confirmed, low interest rates in even mature markets – and to a large extent improved liquidity conditions – made sure that the search for yield ended at emerging markets. Not only are these markets now offering better returns, but also seem more stable than ever before. Today, emerging countries have substantial amounts of current account surpluses & forex reserves. Also, the maturity period of debt issued by these countries, on an average, has increased significantly (from 8 years in 2001 to a smashing 13 years in 2005), coupled with an increased issue of fixed rate debt and inflation indexed debt. Even the share of foreign currency debt that led to the erstwhile debt crisis has been replaced by domestic currency bonds (the external debt decreased from 16% to 10% from 1999 to 2004; IMF Global Financial Stability Report 2006).

At last, a bill that could reduce US pension deficits worth $22.5 billion was passed by the Senate with an overwhelming majority on August 3, 2006. The US pension system and tax cut bill that was introduced by the Bush administration in order to check heavy deficits to Pension Benefit Guaranty (the federal pension corporation) was approved with an overwhelming majority of 93-5. The legislation is a significant reform measure, introduced by the US government in recent times due to the very fact that reforms in the nation’s pension laws haven’t witnessed a change in the last 32 years.

The ‘ring’ing celebrations begin

IIPM BUSINESS & ECONOMY
Infosys Technologies created history when its Chief mentor and Chairman NR Naryana Murthy rung the opening bell of NASDAQ stock exchange from the Mysore campus of Infosys. The first company to do so from India, it was telecast live in New York’s Times Square based NASDAQ’s MarketSite tower. After London in December 2005 and Davos in January 2006, Mysore became the third city to ring the remote opening bell. Infosys CEO Nandan Nilekani, along with NASDAQ President and CEO Bob Gerefeld, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and thousands of employees of the company were present to mark the occasion. The ringing ceremony coincided with the silver jubilee celebrations of the company. Infosys is incidentally the first Indian company to be listed on the ASDAQ in 1999.

But the coup de grace was delivered by the world’s richest country, the United States, which once again decided to demonstrate its hypocrisy. The US ostensibly agreed to a 97% opening of its markets to the poorest countries. The developing countries were disappointed with the results of Europe’s EBA initiative, and Europe has responded by committing itself to dealing with at least part of the problem that arises from the rules of origin tests. America’s intention was, to the contrary, to seem to be opening up its markets, while doing nothing of the sort, for it appears to allow the US to select a different 3% for each country. The result is what is mockingly coming to be called the EBP initiative: developing countries will be allowed freely to export everything but what they produce. They can export jet engines, supercomputers, airplanes, computer chips of all kinds – just not textiles, agricultural products, or processed foods, the goods they can and do produce. Consider Bangladesh. If we go by the most widely used six-digit tariff lines, Bangladesh exported 409 tariff lines to the US in 2004, from which it earned about $2.3 billion. But its top 12 tariff lines – 3% of all tariff lines – accounted for 59.7% of the total value of its exports to the US. This means that the US could erect barriers to almost three-fifths of Bangladeshi exports. For Cambodia, the figure would be about 62%.
