The treaty retains most of the content of the proposed EU Constitution which was rejected in the French and Dutch referendums on 29 May and 1 June 2005, respectively. The Lisbon Treaty amends the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC), which is renamed "Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union" (TFEU). Following the parliamentary ratification of the Lisbon Treaty by all Member States by the end of 2008, it is aimed to have the Treaty come into force on 1 January 2009. Whereas the EU Constitution was to be subjected to a referendum in ten Member States, only Ireland is holding a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. This is a consolidated version of the Treaty of Lisbon, including all articles in the TEU and the TFEU as amended by the Treaty...

...Week 3 Chapter 22.10 Referring to the mortgage in the note makes it to be non-negotiable. Holly Hill acres, Ltd. committed themselves to pay Rogers and Blythe through a promissory note and purchase money mortgage. This implies that whereas Charter Bank did not deal directly with Holly Hill acres, Ltd., they had every right to sue them since Rogers and Blythe effectively committed to pay the loan and offered Holly Hill’s promissory note as collateral. (Daniel F. Hinkel, 2008) Charter Bank has to go every extent to recover its loan from Rogers and Blythe and in this perspective, Holly Hill acres has to bear the brunt literally speaking. Under normal circumstances, it is not expected that a lender sues any third party but in this instance, the reference to the mortgage in the note seals the fate of Holly Hill. Chapter 23.8 The Angelini’s wins the case. When General was entering into an agreement, they knew for sure that Lustro was not only nearly insolvent but also that they had engaged in questionable business practices in the past. It is not legal to enter into a business agreement, more so a promissory note, with a dubious company. This means that General should bear full responsibility of entering into a dubious deal. (Daniel F. Hinkel, 2008) Lustro on the other hand did breach the law by assigning the note to General way before it had...

...the Next Financial Meltdown 13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown, by Simon Johnson and James Kwak, is an analysis of the banking system in America and how they contributed to the financial crisis of 2008. These banks were facing the possibility of bankruptcy, and in turn the American government had an increasing need for these banks as the means to fund the necessary investments in the economy. 13 bankers, breaks down the American banking industry in how they have grown so big, so profitable, that they have become resistant to regulations. The banks grown to the enormous that the stability of the economy was dependent, giving they a political influence by pouring money into campaigns of congressional candidates and congressmen, assuring investment banks to maintain influence and position in the White House and the Treasury department. Theses “megabanks” had balance sheet assets that accounted for more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. In March of 2009, the presidents of thirteen of these “Megabanks” met at the White House with the President, Obama that gave a message, “everybody has to pitch in. We’re all in this together” –President Obama (13 Bankers, page 4) this message giving a clear indicator the thirteen bankers needed the government and in turn, the government needed these 13 bankers to maintain stability of the economy.

...commercial banking is a middle business based on the security investment. The US bank started dabbling in this area since 19 century. Along with the increasing of securities quantity and variety, for controlling the cost and marginal profit, concentrating on developing the market, the investment institution delegated such business to professional institution. Based on such background, the investment security service, different with traditional banking business, from a simple reconcile and custody business to a highly sophisticated investor service business has been rapidly developed in the previous 30 years. I am working in the JPMorgan Chase Bank, worldwide security services division. Our main custody business clients are insurance company, direct invest institutions, bank, pension fund, QDII Fund. JPMorgan is the biggest custody bank in this world owns about 1.12 Trillion US dollars assets. In mainland China, custody is a very new business for JPMorgan starting from 2007. We own the license of QDII which is call the “Qualified Domestic Invest Institution”. From the starting point about 18 Billion RMB custody assets, in 2013, there are more than 80 Billion RMB custody assets in China mainland. Rapid growth is good news for every business but potentially there are potential risk in this competitive industry and JPMorgan is brand new comparing with such old bank: HSBC, Citic group and Standard Charter.

...Vietnam generally and in its financial market as well provides investors diverse benefited opportunities. That’s the reason why I chose the subject to give the readers some comprehensive information about this new – opened potential financial and banking system. 1. History of the Banking System in Vietnam The development of the Banking System in Vietnam has closely linked with its national history. Before the August Revolution 1945 Vietnam was under the French colonialists’ rules. The banking and credit systems was founded and protected by the French colonial Government through the Indochina Bank, which acted as both the central bank of the whole Indochinese region (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) and a commercial bank. After the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in September 1945 the new elected Government attempted building a monetary and banking system independently from French. In the second Congress of the Vietnam Workers’ Party (February 1951) President Ho Chi Minh signed decree on establishment of the Vietnam National Bank (Ngân Hàng Quốc Gia Việt Nam). On 21st January 1960 the Vietnam National Bank was renamed as the State Bank of Vietnam (Ngân Hàng Nhà Nước Việt Nam). After the fall of Saigon and the capitulation of South Vietnam’s Governors the two parts Vietnamswere officially united. With the founding of Socialist Republic of Vietnam, administrations and institutions of North and South Vietnam became unified. The National Bank of...

...1. SOUTH AFRICA: NATIONALISATION AND THE MINING SECTOR As of late, the political atmosphere has been clouded with varying judgements on the great issue of whether South African mines should be nationalised or not. The camp in favour of nationalisation, Former President of ANC Youth League, Julius Malema echoes the words of the Freedom Charter in that “The National Wealth of our country… the mineral wealth beneath the soil, the banks and the monopoly industry shall be transferred to the ownership of the people as a whole”. The camp not in favour sees this vision in a different light. Nonetheless, this essay investigates the feasibility of nationalising the country’s mining sector from both a theoretical and empirical stand point. 2. WHERE IT’S ALL STARTED Nationalisation of mines has been called for in order to give back to the country as the government will have direct control over the sector. This, they believe, will present more employment opportunities, better working conditions for miners, a more efficient distribution of income and overall improvement in service delivery. Julius Malema (the main instigator behind the call for nationalisation), proposes that the state take a controlling share of 60% in all private mines, all which will be managed by a state owned mining firm (LeadershipOnline, n.d). According to Malema, nationalisation will achieve the following: ➢ Increase the State’s budget for social development objectives; ➢ Be a basis from which the...

...obligated to thank a few people who helped me along the way. Firstly, I’d like to offer my most sincere thanks to my supervisor, Dr. Giovanni Cespa for accepting to supervise me and putting me on the right track with this dissertation. Following, I’d like to thank my family for their moral support throughout the year. Last but not least I’d like to thank the entirety of the staff at Cass who helped further my education throughout the year. To all of you, Thank you Abstract The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and present the main alternative sources of finance for shipping corporations in the scope of the post-2008 market downturn. By “alternative” the author refers to any source finance that is not vanilla financing i.e. bank debt. Lists of benefits and drawbacks for each alternative source will be presented for all parties of the transaction in question. This is done in order to present an evaluation that will facilitate the reader in understanding the value of each source as well as potential costs and risks. While there are numerous alternative sources that could be covered, the emphasis has fallen only on those that carry at least a sizeable portion of market transactions. The study, similar to the industry itself, has a global character as the author felt that limiting the study to specific countries would give biased results. This study will by no means present the best source of finance for this particular industry. As will be stressed greatly...
