#Aljazeera Inside Story The Robin Hood Tax with Dareen Abughaida
http://bit.ly/abX4b1

Supporters of the Robin Hood tax are calling on world leaders gathered
in South Korea for the G20 summit to listen to their people rather
than to the banks.They argue that banks that were bailed out over the
past two years are now back to business as usual but that a global
Robin Hood tax would mean the world's banks pay to reduce the deficits
they helped to cause, removing the need for austerity measures.But
will world leaders heed these calls and is the Robin Hood tax a
feasible idea?

Inside Story, with presenter Dareen Abughaida, discusses with guests:
Max Lawson, a senior policy adviser at Oxfam and a spokesperson for
the Robin Hood Tax Campaign; Simon Hills, an executive director at the
British Bankers Association; and Aly Khan Satchu, a financial analyst
and CEO of www.rich.co.ke

Macro Thoughts

I fancy a Dollar Reverse sometime today.

Home Thoughts

When we first moved into our House in Nairobi, a School was adjacent
to my Patio. I used to enjoy the sound of Schoolchildren, there is a
Joie De Vivre which is not replicated I have found. I lived next to
the Loreto Convent School in Mombasa so maybe there was a Familiarity
of the sounds from my Childhood. Well that did not last and now the
Lot is being redeveloped. And right outside My Bathroom, three Floors
have sprung up. On Saturday, there was a Power Cut. And These Floors
loomed large in the Half Light and somehow felt inhabited a little
like that Evening we stopped at Gedi Ruins and We all experienced how
occupied an Empty Ruin could feel.

Gedi Ruins Image Search

The Ruins of Gedi are the remains of a Swahili town located in Gedi, a
village near the coastal town of Malindi in Kenya.From the 13th or
14th to 17th centuries, Gedi was a thriving community along the jungle
coast of East Africa. Although no written record exists of this town,
excavations between 1948 and 1958 revealed that the Muslim inhabitants
traded with people from all over the world. Some of the findings
included beads from Venice, coins and a Ming vase from China, an iron
lamp from India, and scissors from Spain. The population was estimated
to exceed at least 2500 people.Gedi had a mosque, a palace, and large
stone houses. These houses were complex for their time, with bathrooms
with drains and overhead basins to flush toilets. The city's streets
were laid out at right angles and had drainage gutters.In the early
16th century, the village was abandoned. A possible explanation was
that a punitive expedition came from Mombasa against Malindi and
forced the inhabitants to leave. A temporary reoccupation likely
occurred by the nomadic Oromo tribe from Somalia in the late 16th
century, who later abandoned the town.

It is unclear whether the actual name of the town was Gedi, Gede, or
Kilimani. The Galla word "Gede" means "precious", but the town might
have been named after the last Galla leader to camp on the site.[1]

WASHINGTON—The U.S. relationship with China will be the "central
American challenge going forward," as the U.S. works to redevelop its
economy, White House National Economic Council Director Larry Summers
said on Monday.

"A reading of the long sweep of history suggests that rapidly
transforming economies in a rapidly transforming global system produce
histories that are not always happy ones," Mr. Summers said at The
Wall Street Journal CEO Council. "Our wisdom, their wisdom, the way in
which we interact is going to be of the utmost importance."

"Ultimately, there is going to be one thing that is most important,
and that is how the world sees the power of our example. That's going
to depend on our success in our strategy of domestic renewal," he
added.

The history of the early 21st century "will be about how the world
adjusted to the movement of the theater of history toward China," Mr.
Summers said.

Underscoring the tension between the countries, Min Zhu, special
advisor for the International Monetary Fund in Washington and former
deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, told the same forum
that the weight of global GDP is shifting toward China and other
fast-growing emerging economies while richer nations still face high
debt and weak growth.

Given current trends, emerging markets and developing countries will
account for 60% of global gross domestic product in six years, he
said. "It is a different world," Mr. Zhu said.

Meanwhile, China is moving up the value chain into high-tech capital
goods and is poised to account for about a third of global
manufacturing of advanced machinery and equipment within a decade,
from about 8% today, Mr. Zhu said. "China will probably lead a global
manufacturing restructuring. That will be a big impact for advanced
economies, particularly for economies that want to export tech goods."

The last election was partly a reaction against President Barack
Obama's policies, Mr. Summers said, but it was also a "an important
rejection of elites ... that were seen as more citizens of Davos than
of their countries."Corporate America should "think very hard about
their obligations as citizens of this country and to think very hard
about how through their activities they can make it work for all of
our citizens," Mr. Summers said.

Conclusions

I think Larry Summers was in fact inimical to the US National Interest
and History will judge his elbowing aside of Paul Volcker with extreme
Harshness. The US has pursued Business as Usual at a time when radical
thinking and Re Engineering was required. Neverland was a Redoubt of
that Peter Pan Michael Jackson and not of the US. The last Fellow to
experiment with Printing Money was Gideon Gono of the Zimbabwe Central
Bank and he lost his Job over that Experiment [and of course, taking
advantage of the President's Wife allegedly].

I think the Electorate is disillusioned because of this. The
Conversation has a 'Make-Believe' about it. There is a Grown Up World
out there and

The Sense is best described in The Poem The Hollow Men by TS Eliot

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

It does not have to but this is the Curve that Everyone is seeing.

China will overtake the U.S. to become the world’s largest economy by
2020, helped by faster expansion and an appreciation of its currency,
according to Standard Chartered Plc.

“We believe that the world is in a ‘super-cycle’ of sustained high
growth,” economists led by Gerard Lyons said in a report published
today. “The scale of change over the next 20 years will be enormous.”

China’s economy will be twice as large as the U.S.’s by 2030 and
account for 24 percent of global output, up from 9 percent today,
Lyons said in the 152-page Super-Cycle Report. India will surpass
Japan to be the third-biggest economy in the next decade, according to
the report. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates China will overtake the
U.S. by 2027.

The world may be experiencing its third “super-cycle,” which is
defined as “a period of historically high global growth, lasting a
generation or more, driven by increasing trade, high rates of
investment, urbanization and technological innovation, characterized
by the emergence of large, new economies, first seen in high catch-up
growth rates across the emerging world,” Standard Chartered
said.Output in China, the largest maker of mobile phones, computers
and vehicles, surpassed Japan for the second straight quarter in the
three months through September, Japan’s government said today. The
Chinese economy overtook the U.K. as the fourth largest in 2005 and
tipped Germany from third place in 2007.

China has expanded by an average 10.3 percent a year over the past
decade compared with an average 1.8 percent for the U.S. Standard
Chartered estimates growth will slow to an annual 8 percent pace by
the middle of the decade, easing to 5 percent from 2027 to 2030.The
U.S. economy, by contrast, still faces another year or two of
“sluggish growth,” forecast at 1.9 percent in 2011, before returning
to its long-term trend rate of expansion of 2.5 percent in three to
four years, Nicholas Kwan, Hong Kong-based regional head of Asia
research at Standard Chartered, said in a telephone interview.China’s
comparatively faster expansion, together with an expected 25 percent
appreciation of the yuan, should be enough for its nominal gross
domestic product to exceed that of the U.S. by the end of the decade,
Kwan said.

“For China we have to consider to what extent the economy can keep
growing without serious disruption, while the U.S. is facing different
challenges as a mature economy struggling to recover from an
unprecedented crisis,” he said.

China could fall ‘abruptly off the fast track’’ as the Soviet Union
and Latin America did in the 1970s and Indonesia and Thailand
experienced in the 1990s, Standard Chartered’s report said.

Previous “super-cycles” of growth happened from 1870 to 1913, and
after World War II until the early 1970s, Standard Chartered said
today. The current cycle began in 2000, it said.

“If we are right about this being another super-cycle, it does not
mean that growth is strong and continuous over the whole period,”
Standard Chartered said. “The first super- cycle, for instance had
bouts of high inflation and of deflation. Much will depend on monetary
policies adopted across the globe.”

Every central bank in the world had been asking the Fed for days to
come clean on QE2. To believe that the G-20 would gladly accept US
President Barack Obama's offer to embrace yet another tsunami of US
paper dollars that the US cannot pay for is to live in Oz. No wonder
many a diplomat would confirm, tersely or not, that this was indeed
the G-19 to 1 summit.

Washington refuses to undergo the "structural adjustment" that its
baby, the IMF, has always imposed on any other budget deficit patient.

The U.S. dollar index climbed to 78.652 from 78.106 late Friday. It
touched 78.665, the highest level seen since early October.The euro
traded at $1.3579, down from $1.3696 in late North American trading
Friday. It fell as low as $1.3570, just a hair above its weakest level
since late September, touched Friday.

“Financial stability concerns in Ireland and potential contagion to
periphery Europe are likely to require the use of a financial backstop
soon,” said Aroop Chaterjee, currency strategist at Barclays Capital.
“While the market may be temporarily calmed by an Irish announcement,
we do not expect peripheral concerns to disappear quickly and continue
to see this as keeping the euro weak over the medium term.”

A tiny bowlful of winter oolong tea

The fragrance of State Guest Da Hung Pao tea is said to be so
long-lasting that if you drink a glass one morning, the delicate
perfume will still be detectable about you the morning after.The
story’s a little much, but people do pay big money for this premium
brand of da hung pao, similar to oolong, a type of semi-fermented tea.

At Wu Yi Star Teahouse, a tea shop with 40 stores throughout greater
China, the price for 50 grams–a handful of leaves—is 16,800 Hong Kong
dollars (US$2,160). (The same amount of other da hung pao teas costs
HK$138.)

Every year, the 100 canisters of State Guest Da Hung Pao tea sell out
within two months. A waiting list for the 2011-year harvest has
already begun.Here’s why many people will pay so much for this tea,
according to Tracy Ho, general manager of Wuyi Star Teahouse general
manager.

The strength of 60: The leaves from the State Guest Da Hung Pao are
said to be potent enough to brew multiple pots of tea–up to 60
infusions. So instead of just five cups of tea from a 50-gram canister
(each serving being 10 grams of leaves and roughly 100 milliliters of
100°C water), you’re really getting 3,000.

White-glove service: Not only is State Guest Da Hung Pao farmed
organically, its leaves (unlike those of other teas) are never
permitted to touch the ground: They’re hand-picked from the bush and
handled with special care through the withering, sifting and drying
process. So while standard tea etiquette recommends dumping out the
water of the first brew—to “cleans” the leaves—this is not necessary
for the State Guest Da Hung Pao.Premium growth: The home of da hung
pao tea is Wu Yi Mountain in China’s northern Fujian province, where
the six “mother bushes” grow. All are protected by law against
picking, so today da hung pao tea leaves are harvested from clones.
The clones that produce the State Guest Da Hung Pao, though, are the
ones closest to the mother bushes, where the soil is especially
porous. As such, they absorb additional minerals and take on more
complex flavor profiles.

A national treasure: Said to be the “king of all Chinese teas,” da
hung pao teas are often given as gifts to heads of state. U.S.
President Richard Nixon was famously presented with da hung pao by Mao
Zedong during his visit to China.

Smooth taste: The signature taste of da hung pao is distinctively
floral. “Think of it like a good perfume, which can last all day and
changes in quality when you wear it,” says Ms. Ho. “That’s the effect
of the best da hung ao–it is a rare blend of long-lasting, but not
overpowering.” The State Guest Da Hung Pao in particular is not only
strongly aromatic, it’s also less acidic and less bitter than other da
hung

Rwanda's central bank cut its key repo rate by one percentage point to
6.0 percent, the second reduction this year designed to stimulate
lending to the private sector, according to a statement on Tuesday.

The bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) said it planned to keep the
lending rate on hold through the first quarter of 2011, when inflation
rates in the central African country were likely to start picking up.

"One of the policies to encourage the increase of bank loans to
private sector is to reduce incentives for banks to invest in the
National Bank of Rwanda (NBR) and in government instruments by
lowering the Key Repo Rate (KRR)," said the MPC statement.

"Consequently, the Monetary Policy Committee decided to reduce the KRR
by 1 percentage point, from its current level of 7 percent to 6
percent, to be in force during the remaining part of 2010 and the
first quarter of 2011," it said.

Investor interest in residential real estate development has continued
to soar, with the latest reports indicating that monies flowing into
the sector over the last five years have more than tripled.A report by
Central Bank of Kenya, in conjunction with the World Bank, indicates
that investment in real estate residential sector grew to Sh61 billion
as of May this year, compared to Sh19 billion five years ago.

In addition, the number of actual mortgages taken up by individuals
and organisations, without putting the figures loaned, grew from 7,834
to 13,803 over the same period, a demonstration of the great potential
and growing interest in the sector.

"The report confirms a trend of increased level of interest in people
owning houses, as opposed to renting," said Frank Ireri, the managing
director of Housing Finance, a mortgage financing company.

Kenya’s mortgage to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratios, which
indicates how much of investments to the real estate sector
contributes to the country’s total investments or earning, is still
low by international trends, and currently stands at 2.5 per cent. In
India, a similar ratio is six per cent, while in Colombia, it is seven
per cent, while South Africa’s is at 33 per cent.

"Save for certain specific segments of the real estate industry, the
middle and low income segments have really attracted investor interest
due to demand," said Jenny Luesby of African Laughter, a consultancy
firm that birthed the Hass Property Index.

"This momentum is not expected to slow down soon going into the
future, given the level of demand for fairly priced middle income
housing units."

The report also shows that in regard to the mortgage portfolio
quality, non- performing loans have been declining over time, with the
weighted mortgage interest rate reported by institutions standing at
14 per cent, as compared to the banking sector average lending rate of
14.6 per cent.

Conclusions

Its on a sustainable and accelerated Path for a few more Years.

Commercial Bank of Africa’s earnings from trading in Treasury bonds
increased by Sh838 million in nine months to September, boosting its
third-quarter net profits 38 per cent to Sh1.4 billion.The bank said
other income rose to Sh924 million from Sh86 million, in performance
results published on Monday.

“This was mainly due to yields arising from bond trading,” said chief
financial officer Derick Ouma.

Imperial Bank’s expansion plan has helped to tap cheaper customer
deposits which helped the mid-sized lender to post a 58 per cent
growth in third-quarter net profits.The bank earned after-tax profits
of Sh668.3 million in the nine months to September, boosted also by
increased lending to government.

“The increasing branch footprint and overall efficiency has led to an
increase in customer loyalty and greater uptake of our services hence
additional revenue,” said the bank’s managing director, Abdulmalek
Janmohamed.

Imperial Bank increased its holding of government securities to Sh4.4
billion from Sh2 billion, tripling earnings from the debt papers to
Sh426 million. The bank paid depositors total interest amounting to
Sh604 million, down from Sh973 million last year.
Mr Janmohamed said the firm was benefitting from a wider branch
network that is helping to rake in cheap deposits. It recently opened
its thirteenth branch in Changamwe, with more planned for next year.
Customer deposits grew from Sh11.5 billion to Sh14 billion.

Kenya’s government is in talks with Reliance Industries Ltd., India’s

in an interview at the World Economic Forum’s India economic summit in
New Delhi today. “We see a new group of Indian multinationals taking
interest not only in Kenya, but the rest of Africa.”

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance has $6.5 billion in cash to use
in buying energy assets overseas as natural gas output from its
biggest deposit in India stagnates. Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata has
made 66 acquisitions in two decades. The group’s revenue was more than
