How Italy became this century's 'sick man of Europe'

Joining the euro removed the country’s only means of overcoming economic troubles and restoring competitiveness

On New Year’s Day in 2002, Italians gathered in Rome to throw their lire into the Trevi fountain. There were celebrations as Italians took possession of the new euro notes and coins that became legal tender as the clocks struck midnight.

But hopes that the advent of the single currency would provide a fresh start for Italy’s economy were misplaced. The growth performance of the eurozone as a whole has been poor but Italy’s has been dismal. Greece and Spain at least had booms before their painful busts; Germany and France have managed to claw back the ground lost in the deep recession of 2008-09.

Why the LSE can serve tech startups better than Nasdaq or the NYSE

UK investors are more open to backing ventures at an early stage, says the chief executive of Allied Minds

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been asked why a US-centric company like Allied Minds has staked its future to listing on the London Stock Exchange, rather than Nasdaq or the NYSE.

Why do I, as CEO of a Boston-based company which looks to commercialise the most exciting discoveries spinning out of leading American universities and government institutions shuttle across the Atlantic to tell our story to British and other European investors?

Ireland gets an Apple windfall, but tackling tax avoidance just got harder | Simon Bowers

The intervention of Margrethe Vestager, Europe’s competition commissioner, has ruffled feathers

Apple boss Tim Cook is furious. How dare Brussels’ meddling competition regulators retrospectively unpick a tax deal that the iPhone-maker had secured from Ireland a quarter of a century ago. What business is it of theirs? Tax, after all, is a sovereign issue for each individual member state within the European Union. The European commission’s ruling would have a “profound and harmful effect” on investment and job creation in Europe, he said.

His political allies at home have waded in too. US Treasury secretary Jack Lew warned last week that the move could have a “chilling effect on US-EU cross-border investment”. The US would have to “consider potential responses”.

Britain's rail safety record deserves some credit | Graham Ruddick

Latest annual safety report by the Office of Rail and Road shows Britain has the third safest railway in Europe since 2010

The debate about Britain’s railways is missing something important. Amid the talk of traingate, overcrowding, prices and nationalisation, there has been little mention of safety.

This is important, because the safety record for Britain’s rail network is staggeringly good. It is now nine years since a passenger on one of Britain’s trains died in an accident. The last fatality occurred when a Virgin Pendolino derailed in Cumbria.

Persimmon grabs the headlines but where are the smaller builders?

America builds far more homes because it has thriving mid-size building firms that have all but disappeared in Britain

Are Britain’s volume housebuilders too big and too successful? The standard narrative in the UK is that we don’t build enough houses, and that the likes of Persimmon, Barratts, and Taylor Wimpey need to knock out hundreds of thousands more a year if we’re ever going to cap runaway price inflation and house our growing population.

But Britain’s big housebuilders are far from failing. Persimmon (the biggest player in the market) has issued bumper figures, with completions up 6%, profits up 29% and sales barely affected, if at all, by Brexit. Its share price has recovered to within a whisker of its pre-referendum high.

Sports Direct doesn't need consultants, it should listen to its shareholders

Mike Ashley’s firm announced an external evaluation of the board, but the problems are obvious to all ... except Keith Hellawell

Here is a tip for Sports Direct that could save Mike Ashley a few bob: rather than bringing in highly-paid consultants to evaluate the company’s board, just ask your shareholders. City institutions would swiftly tell Ashley that Sports Direct needs a credible chairman and a permanent finance director.

The fact that Sports Direct chose to publicly announce that it will conduct an “external evaluation” of its board suggests one problem is already clear – Keith Hellawell is not performing as chairman.

Positive unemployment figures no reason for leave voters to celebrate

Economists expected rise in joblessness but companies haven’t cut jobs yet because no one knows what Brexit will look like

If you put Brexit to one side, the latest unemployment figures are no surprise.

BHS to close all stores as questions remain unanswered

British Home Stores to close all branches by 20 August as law firm Jones Day called in to investigate directors’ conduct

However, the news that Jones Day has been brought in to investigate the conduct of BHS’s directors in the run-up to its collapse shows that questions remain unanswered.

Retailers benefit as sunshine sends post-Brexit spending soaring

Latest figures show like-for-like retail sales rose more than 1% in July, the best performance since January

Britain’s vote to leave the European Union may have been a shock, but a prolonged period of warm weather in July was even more unexpected.

At least that is what the latest retail sales figures show. Like-for-like retail sales, which excludes newly opened or closed stores, rose by 1.1% in July, while total sales rose by 1.9%. This was the best performance since January according to the British Retail Consortium and KPMG index.

Osborne makes good point on economy – first thing he's got right this year

As Bank of England fires its Brexit bazooka, former chancellor pops up on Twitter to call for supply side reform

Now that Mark Carney has fired the Bank of England’s Brexit bazooka, it is time for the government and businesses to step forward. The Bank has cut interest rates, restarted its asset purchase programme and is encouraging banks to pass on the base cut to the real economy by providing them with £100bn of new funding. But this will not mean much unless the government, businesses and households take advantage.

At least, that is what some bloke called George Osborne says. The MP for Tatton popped up on Twitter to say that the Bank’s actions “must be matched by permanent supply side reform: lower business taxes, free trade with EU and unambiguous message we’re open to overseas investment”.

In truth, there was never the remotest possibility that Ashley would defy the will of parliament. Rupert Murdoch eventually deigned to make an appearance before a select committee, and to adapt Lloyd Bentsen’s putdown of Dan Quayle, Ashley is no Rupert Murdoch.

Why the global economy may need to get worse before it gets better

Until governments act collectively to bolster growth, lasting recovery from the 2008-09 recession will remain elusive

A wind of change is howling through the world’s economic institutions. Last week it was the International Monetary Fund saying that austerity could do more harm than good and that neoliberalism was not all it was cracked up to be. This week it is the turn of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to challenge the orthodoxy.

The OECD says governments around the world should consider banding together to spend more on public works, something it deems necessary because lasting recovery from the deep recession of 2008-09 remains elusive.

Brexiters maintain stubborn mood in face of chilling EU warnings

Leave camp must be pretty pleased with how things are going, having positioned themselves as Ealing comedy underdogs

The Ealing comedy Passport to Pimlico is set in postwar London with austerity at its height. Inhabitants find that they can escape rationing because the district was once part of Burgundy during a conflict that has never formally ended. They set up their own kingdom within a kingdom, defiantly resisting attempts by Westminster to bludgeon them back into line.

The mood of stubborn resistance is summed up by one of the characters whose Englishness is called into question. “We always were English and we always will be English and it’s because we are English that we are sticking up for our right to be Burgundian.”
