It was too early to say what an RIT takeover would mean for Alliance Trusts base in Dundee Alliance Trust has overhauled its leadership after agreeing last year to appoint two of the three independent directors nominated by Elliott Advisors, the US activist investor Elliott, which now holds 16 per cent of the companys shares, campaigned publicly for months about the companys poor performance and corporate governance before reaching the compromise last April Alliance Trust spent Ê3m on a push to defend itself against Elliott, which its leadership argued would threaten the very existence of the company Since then, Alliance Trust has ousted Katherine Garrett-Cox, its chief executive, and Karin Forseke, chairman, and brought in industry veteran Robert Smith as chairman to help lead a turnround In March, the company reported that 18% Size of Jacob Rothschilds holding in RIT Capital Partners 5.4% Alliances total return last year beat an industry benchmark its performance was improving, with the total return for the trust reaching 5.4 per cent last year, outperforming a key industry benchmark Alliance Trusts discount to net asset value also narrowed to 8.1 per cent compared to 12.4 per cent a year earlier It reported that total assets under management rose to around Ê5bn RIT, which is 18 per cent-owned by Lord Rothschild, invests mostly in listed companies but also has a range of other stakes including private companies and bonds Last year it increased its net asset value per share by 8.1 per cent, beating Alliance Trust At Fridays close, RITs shares traded at a per cent premium to their net asset value Moởt tempts global connoisseurs with 300 wine made on Tibetan plateau ADAM THOMSON PARIS Royal Mail goes online in a bid to lick Amazon Royal Mail has made a string of investments in small ecommerce and technology companies, from a mobile fashion app to a start-up selling software in China, in a bid to break into the digital world Its move is, in effect, the reverse of the strategy of Amazon, which has become a big rival for delivery services Analysts say Royal Mails drive is aimed at offering more products and services linked to the sale and dispatch of online orders Putting its stamp i PAGE 19 When Moởt Hennessy unveils its latest top-end wine to its leading international clients next month, it will not be inviting guests to Bordeaux or even to Burgundy Instead, they will arrive at the French embassy in China Ao Yun, as the powerful red is called, is grown, produced and bottled in Adong, an area perched 2,600m above sea level on the edge of the Tibetan plateau in one of the remotest places on Earth MH part of French luxury conglomerate LVMH and owner of brands including Dom Pộrignon, Krug and Chõteau dYquem is targeting the global crowd as much as the Chinese market with the wine, priced at 300 a bottle We are starting to see wine collectors around the world wanting to have iconic wines produced in China, Jean- Guillaume Prats, president of MHs estates and wines division, told the FT Mr Prats said Moet will begin marketing Ao Yun the name means sacred cloud to connoisseurs and collectors in Europe from next month, and in China from October Production at the vineyard, in the south-west province of Yunnan, close to the Tibetan border, is a tiny 24,000 bottles but Mr Prats said the plan was to reach 50,000 within the next five years The exotic location was picked for its climatic conditions, rare in China, of not being too wet or too cold Critics have applauded the Ao Yun 2013, the first vintage a fact that helps explain the retail price As Mr Prats said: We certainly would never have priced it at that level if we were not confident or if the critics around the world had not said that it was an exceptional wine.

direct threat to oust PM straight after the vote GONZALO VIẹA AND GEORGE PARKER David Cameron is facing the threat of a leadership challenge following the EU referendum after the Brexit camp turned its sights on the prime minister with highly personal attacks Bearing the hallmarks of an orchestrated campaign, Eurosceptic Tories piled pressure on Mr Cameron, including a direct threat to oust him immediately after the vote The ratcheting up is also a sign they are seeking to tighten their grip on the party in case of a defeat on June 23 by toppling the prime minister and replacing him with a more Eurosceptic leader The gravest warning for Mr Cameron came from MP for North West Leicestershire Andrew Bridgen, a prominent Tory backbencher He told the BBC yesterday that more than 50 MPs were ready to move against the prime minister because he is at odds with half of our parliamentary party and probably 70 per cent of our members and activist base Other senior Tories have said privately that it is likely that Eurosceptics will be able to round up the required signatures to mount a challenge Nadine Dorries, the Mid Bedfordshire MP and ardent critic of Mr Cameron, said she had already written to Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 committee, which normally receives signatures for a leadership challenge Ms Dorries said Remain would need to win the vote by 60-40 for Mr Cameron to survive Anything less and Mr Cameron would be toast within days The warning came as Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, the Brexit camps most senior figures, launched a personal attack on the prime minister over his failure to control immigration They said his failure to bring down net migration below 100,000 a year, a maniAn aide to the prime minister said he would focus on winning the Brexit vote despite the threats against him festo pledge made at the last election, was corrosive of public trust because it could not be delivered This promise is plainly not achievable as long as the UK is a member of the EU, both men said in a letter to the prime minister In a separate intervention, Priti Patel, the employment minister, suggested Mr Cameron and George Osborne, the chancellor, were too rich and led lives that were insulated from the pressures immigration put on low-income Britons The personal attacks and the greater emphasis on immigration comes as Remain claims that those campaigning to leave the EU are losing the economic argument, as institutions from the Treasury to the IMF warn Brexit would deal a blow to growth Former prime minister Tony Blair said yesterday that the Leave campaigners focus on immigration was because they have lost comprehensively the debate on the economy With campaigning entering its last few weeks, the Brexit camp is struggling to make a breakthrough in the polls The FT Poll Tracker has 46 per cent of voters backing continued membership of the EU and 41 per cent wanting to leave An aide to the prime minister said Mr Cameron would focus on winning the vote despite the threats against his leadership and dismissed the idea of an immediate reshuffle to replace Eurosceptic cabinet members with more moderate MPs Any shake-up of the ministerial team probably will be later, the aide added The attacks also come despite a promise by Mr Cameron on Friday to end personal attacks on Conservative colleagues for fear the party was descending further into civil war He, in effect, admitted that some of the personal criticism of pro-Leave Tories, including Boris Johnson, had gone too far Im only ever going to make arguments from now on, he said, promising to stay out of personal criticism of opponents Red Rose day England beat Wales in Test Englands Marland Yarde celebrates a try by the prostrate Ben Youngs during yesterdays

sovereignty of revenue-raising powers VANESSA HOULDER From tax dodgers to the tampon tax, Britain has lost control over some of its revenue-raising powers, according to campaigners wanting to quit the EU Critics say the union makes taxing multinationals extraordinarily difficult Even though Brussels has recently unveiled an ambitious programme for ensuring fair taxation, past rulings by Europes highest court have made it harder to stop multinationals from using EU tax havens The judges interpretation of the 1957 Treaty of Rome has also broken down tax barriers between member states and forced the Treasury to refund taxes deemed to have been illegally levied Future payouts could be as high as Ê10bn, although pro-Brexit campaign- ers have acknowledged that leaving the EU would not necessary stop them It is no surprise that taxation has featured in the Brexit debate: it is often at the heart of arguments over national sovereignty But the arguments are rarely clear-cut For example, the Eurosceptics see the tampon tax value added tax on sanitary products as a symbol of Brussels tyranny But the EU is fleshing out proposals to give member states greater freedom to set VAT rates The free movement of capital is another example Richard North, a political analyst involved in the Leave Alliance network that supports Brexit, says it has deprived Britain of a considerable element of tax sovereignty But he acknowledges there are bigger forces at work and says removing EU restraints will simply expose another level of global constraints Philip Baker, a tax barrister who supports remaining in the EU, says competitive pressures would have forced Britain to make changes to its corporate tax rules even without the EUs influence Campaigners say free capital movement strips UK of a considerable element of tax sovereignty Companies taking challenges to the European Court of Justice have driven a lot of changes to tax law but tax competition would probably have driven us down the same road.

Asked whether it was the end of the oligarch property boom, he said: I have got nothing against luxury properties being built in London What we cant have is London being the worlds capital for money laundering. This month David Cameron, the prime minister, announced a crackdown on purchases involving anonymous shell companies using plundered or laundered cash, saying that the names of all property owners would be publicly registered Mr Khan last week appointed James Murray, an Islington councillor known for his strict enforcement of affordable housing targets in the north London borough, as housing chief City Hall said details were still to be worked out, but Mr Khan insisted he would be able to act We could have, for example, a condition for permission to build homes that you must market them for the first six months in London. A City Hall spokesperson added: The mayor intends to work closely with partners to build more genuinely affordable homes for Londoners and put right the appalling housing mess left behind by his predecessor. Boris Johnson, the previous mayor, had also expressed frustration over foreign investment In 2014, he said: I want [homes] marketed first and sold first to the people of this country, not to oligarchs from the Planet Zog. In the same year he launched a concordat, committing to give Londoners first option on new homes in the capital Some property experts say interfering with foreign investment could backfire Adam Challis, head of residential research at JLL, a professional services firm, said domestic demand was not strong enough to drive off-plan sales He said restricting overseas investors would destroy the viability of most schemes, and would cut the level of affordable housing delivery We should remember that Ken Livingstone [a former mayor] had this aim and never got close to implementing it. Brexit campaigners have also questioned whether plans to give Londoners first option would be enforceable given the free movement of capital rules in the EU treaties Vote Leave said its research showed the rules hindered a crackdown on offshore people and companies buying property in the UK The general principle of free movement of capital among EU countries as well as between them and non-EU countries includes the rights of citizens to purchase property Additional reporting by Gonzalo Vina Evidence grows of an end to the house price boom Subscribe to the FT today at ft.com/subscription Number One Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HL would go some way to protect the UK if it moved outside the bloc It requires EU countries to extend free movement of capital to third countries, as well as other member states It is even possible that Brexit might have a bigger impact on EU tax policies than on Britain The European Commission wants to press ahead with harmonisation of corporation taxation; the UK is its most vocal opponent Allen & Overy, an international law firm, says the loss of a large and influential member state that is opposed to it could be decisive Sadiq Khan, Londons new mayor, has proposed giving its residents the first option on new homes, as he warned against allowing the city to be the worlds capital for money laundering Property Analysts predictions MAKE A SMART INVESTMENT FINANCIAL TIMES the EU, which is using its state aid rules to tackle harmful tax competition But it would still be affected by the G20 crackdown on avoidance by multinationals Daniel Gutmann, a partner at the international law firm CMS and a professor of tax law at the Sorbonne Law School, said the impact of Brexit was likely to be most evident in value added tax Import VAT would be imposed when goods were traded between the EU and the UK Even though there would be a mechanism for refund of VAT, cash flow could be a major consideration Cross-border transactions might face higher taxes under Brexit, as EU subsidiaries could no longer rely on directives that eliminate withholding taxes Yet in a curious twist, the 1992 Maastricht treaty reviled by Eurosceptics VANESSA HOULDER 21/10/2015 10:51 Reprints Are available of any FT article with your company logo or contact details inserted if required (minimum order 100 copies) One-off copyright licences for reproduction of FT articles are also available For both services phone 020 7873 4816, or alternatively, email syndication@ft.com FT Cityline For real time share prices call 0905 817 1690 or go to http://www.ft.com/servicetools/ftmobile/cityline Calls cost 75p/min Newspapers support recycling The recycled paper content of UK newspapers in 2014 was 78.5% Signs of faltering demand in the housing market are prompting estate agents and analysts to suggest Englands house price boom may be ending Paul Smith, chief executive of the Haart agency, which has more than 100 branches, said: We believe the nation has now neared the limit in terms of price rises. Inquiries declined in April at their second-highest rate since 2008, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors a trend that Mike Prew, an equity analyst at the investment bank Jefferies, said signals this slowdown could morph into a period of sustained house price deflation Drops in this Rics measure are strongly correlated with price falls about a year later, Mr Prew added The balance of surveyors expecting higher house prices 12 months ahead has also collapsed, suggesting something more than just short-term factors. Mortgage approvals across the country dropped 8.6 per cent in April, far steeper than analysts had expected This was partly down to the aftermath of a demand surge in March as buy-tolet investors rushed to beat a new stamp duty surcharge, while caution over the June referendum on EU membership also played a role, Rics said But broader factors are also at work, including slowing economic growth and price rises that have stretched affordability to breaking point for many in London and the south-east, where house price inflation has been most extreme There are plenty of headwinds facing London irrespective of the referendum vote Its down to affordability At some point you have to run out of buyers, said Richard Donnell, director of research at Hometrack, an analysis company Average prices in the capital rose 54 per cent between the start of 2012 and March this year, according to the Land Registry, contributing to a nationwide rise of 20 per cent In London, prices stand at 9.2 times average earnings, according to Nationwide Mr Donnell said price growth had slowed this year in all but two London boroughs, while the number of homes changing hands declined per cent across the capital last year This came as transaction levels and prices fell in the most expensive districts Henry Pryor, a buying agent, said he was aware of homes remaining on the 8.6% 9.2 Decrease in mortgage approvals across England in April Cost of London houses as a multiple of average earnings market for three to four weeks without a single viewing How you persuade people to buy something today that they think will be cheaper tomorrow? he said Lucian Cook, director of residential research at estate agency Savills, said: We are clearly hitting some affordability ceilings in London. But the timing and speed of a rise in interest rates would be a key factor in the direction of the broader market, he added Mr Cook is sceptical the market is set for a big downturn, however If the UK does not vote to leave the EU, he said, it is difficult to see what the catalyst would be for a significant correction in the housing market Robin Hardy of Shore Capital said the market was also plagued by mortgage zombies, defined as growing numbers of potential movers struggling with a lack of equity due to the various types of assistance buyers received when they entered the market Parental gifts, help-to-buy or other shared equity loans and long-dated mortgages all hamper the creation of equity We see growing numbers of mortgage zombies primarily from those who were first-time buyers at any time in the last five to seven years. But analysts have yet to downgrade their house price forecasts, with many waiting until after the referendum to reassess the market Savills predicted late last year that prices in mainstream UK markets would rise per cent this year and 17 per cent by 2020 Monday 30 May 2016 FINANCIAL TIMES NATIONAL Environmental issues left behind as EU referendum rhetoric intensifies State-funded advice Law Society head warns on effects of legal aid reforms Campaigners and companies decry lack of debate around Europes green rules and the implications of a Brexit BY JANE CROFT The head of the Law Society has warned that reforms to state-subsidised legal aid mean there are certain parts of the country where people are finding it difficult to access advice on specific issues such as housing PILITA CLARK ENVIRONMENT CORRESPONDENT Few topics seem to have been ignored in an increasingly frenzied EU referendum debate that has covered everything from Hitler to house prices But as the June 23 vote nears, anxiety is growing among some companies and many green groups about the relatively scant attention being paid to how a Brexit might affect the environment and UK energy industries Neither Leave nor Remain campaign leaders have focused heavily on the referendums implications for EU rules that shape the UKs approach to product standards, air pollution, climate change, wildlife protection and energy use Its a major oversight, says Nick Molho, executive director of the Aldersgate Group, a sustainable business body representing companies operating in the UK with a combined annual global turnover of more than Ê400bn Its alienating part of the electorate, especially young people who are very interested in the environment, he said The future of common product standards are a particular concern for exporters selling to the single market, he added, as well as EU energy and climate targets that have been a real driver for low carbon goods, such as ultra low emissions vehicles One of the Aldersgate Groups largest members is Siemens, the German industrial conglomerate It sent a shudder through the renewable energy sector with an April warning that a Brexit could make the UK a less attractive place to business and may become a factor when Siemens is considering future investment here The company makes hundreds of the turbines used in the UKs huge offshore wind farms and has agreed to spend Ê160m on Yorkshire production facilities The UK attained a record 25 per cent of its electricity from renewable generators last year, partly because of its own 2008 Climate Change Act, one of the most far-reaching in the EU But growth was also driven by EU targets obliging the UK to draw 15 per cent of its energy from renewables by 2020 More EU renewables targets are planned for 2030, but some analysts believe that a Brexit would embolden critics eager to dilute environmental laws they say are pushing up energy prices and making companies uncompetitive Lord Deben, Conservative peer and chairman of the Committee on Climate Change the independent body that advises the government on meeting its environmental targets says the UK would have much less clout outside the EU, raising pressure on businesses and making them less willing to accept environmental restrictions 25% Share of UK electricity that came from renewables in 2015 The London Array, located in the Thames Estuary, is the worlds biggest offshore wind farm Michael Liebreich, Bloomberg New Energy Finance research group founder, below, says the UK will not slide back to its old polluting ways if it leaves the EU Simon Dawson/Bloomberg Competition arguments would really have force if the UK was trying to compete on its own with the EU and the US, he says The broader energy industry also faces challenges if the UK leaves the EU, according to a report that was released last week by the Chatham House policy institute The UK was a net exporter of energy at the turn of the century, but the end of domestic coal mining and depletion of North Sea oil and gas reserves means it now relies on imports for 45 per cent of its consumption, the study says As a growing share of the UKs electricity is exchanged with EU partners, it would be neither possible nor desirable to unplug the UK from Europes energy networks, the report said Overall, the option of remaining in the EU provides the highest levels of certainty for continued energy investment. Many environmental figures, meanwhile, say that EU directives relating to bathing water, wildlife protection and air quality helped the UK shed its reputation as the dirty man of Europe and are still needed to keep the country clean Not everyone agrees Michael Liebreich, founder of the Bloomberg New Energy Finance research group, says it is complete and utter tosh to suggest the UK would slide back to its old polluting ways if it left the EU The dieselgate scandal and the common fisheries policy show the EUs environmental record is not nearly as good as some claim, he says, and there are wider concerns about green technologies The environmental community is nearly unanimous that Brexit would be a disaster for the environment, Mr Liebreich told the FT But they are missing the vital role of innovation We wont pull our weight developing solutions to climate change if were stuck in a declinist, low-innovation, protectionistinclined bloc.

Buoyed by strong sales and a round of investment that included BP and the Scottish government, Heliex Power says its system for capturing industrial waste energy heralds a second golden age for Scottish steam The numbers that we were coming up with in market analysis were so large, in value and in quantity, that I had some difficulty believing them, says Dan Wright, company founder and chief technology officer Heliexs exuberance reflects growing international interest in new technologies aimed at tapping sources of power previously considered too technically difficult or too small to be commercially exploitable The trend is powered by engineering innovation and global pressure to raise energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions In Heliexs case, a new approach developed at Londons City University is used to tap the energy in relatively lowtemperature wet steam, a common byproduct of many industrial processes While turbine generators can efficiently generate electricity from high- temperature dry steam, they cope badly with pressure fluctuations associated with wet steam and suffer serious erosion from the water droplets it contains Heliex uses instead a much more robust screw expander, a pair of rotating screws that transform the energy in the wet steam into movement that can drive a standard power generator or other machine The company is not alone in seeking to use screw expanders to tap wet steam power Chinas Kaishan Technologies markets a system it says can generate 30 per cent more power than a small turbine Langson Energy of the US in April installed a 250kW steam machine at an ethanol plant in South Dakota But Heliex says it is well ahead of its competition The company has installed 38 machines in the UK and overseas Revenues jumped to Ê2.7m in

the fight against climate change There is clearly a long way to go Mary Creagh, a Labour MP, told the same conference Sir Edward attended that she had been alarmed to hear party supporters say they planned to vote for Brexit, because they mistakenly thought Labour must be opposing a Conservative prime ministers push to remain Public pressure Steam power gets its second chance with Scottish start-up Using the byproduct of many industrial processes drives source of renewable energy 15% Catherine Dixon, chief executive of the professional body that represents solicitors in England and Wales, said some firms had stopped doing legal aid work in certain areas of law, saying they could not afford to work for the low fees the government now paid She gave the example of housing advice, which has 139 legal aid areas In 39 of these, there is only one provider while in at least two areas there is no provider at all Shropshire and Suffolk have no legal aid providers of housing advice, the Law Society said If you want housing advice in those areas, theres no one available to give that through legal aid, she said In the areas where theres only one provider, for example Cornwall, obviously youre going to struggle. TheLawSocietyopposedcutsmadeby the coalition government in 2013 to save Ê350m a year from the Ê2bn legal aid budget The cuts removed eligibility for legal aid in certain areas of law such as divorce and family law, although some areas such as housing law remained within its scope The Ministry of Justice said at the time that the UK spent more onlegalaidthananyotherEUnation What it means is that about 600,000 fewer people per annum are entitled to civil legal aid, and theres been a reduction in the civil legal aid budget of about Ê350m per annum, said Ms Dixon The Law Society has said that some law firms decided not to rebid for legal aid contracts in the last round of awards in 2013 because of the low rates payable The small number of firms doing legal aid work in certain areas of the law meant there could also be conflicts of interest, the Law Society said If that firm is advising maybe your partner you could end up in a situation where you cant get advice, said Ms Dixon Some firms, she added, particularly those dealing with criminal legal aid, were shutting or consolidating to survive If you look at what a junior solicitor would get through undertaking legal aid work, its less than youd be paid as a nurse or teacher, she said The cuts to legal aid have led to a rise in litigants in person she said because people bringing cases could not afford advice and had to represent themselves This placed additional strain on judges, who had to help untrained people navigate the courts system Dealing with the impact of legal aid cuts on the societys members has been a key issue during Ms Dixons first year as chief executive There are no two ways about it; it places a greater burden on the system, she said Bypass Screw steam expander based in an East Kilbride technology park south of Glasgow, once the site of the UKs National Engineering Laboratory The laboratory was where widely used steam tables for calculation of pressure, heat and volume were developed nearly half a century ago, itself an echo of the 18th and 19th century innovation of Scottish steam pioneers such as James Watt Mr Wright says the new investment will help Heliex market its system, shipped as a self-contained blue steel box that can be plugged into existing steam and electricity systems In some cases it can take the place of existing equipment needed to reduce steam pressure for industrial processes, while helping to meet a factorys electricity needs or feed power back to the grid A Heliex machine is already humming away happily at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, west of Glasgow, where steam from a new biomass boiler is used to generate 108kW of electricity before being fed into a district heating system Chris OReilly, a consultant involved in installing the system, says including the Heliex unit required a higher pressure boiler than originally planned, but that the change should pay for itself in three to five years The paperwork needed to secure renewable energy subsidies was more onerous than the reasonably straightforward inclusion of the Heliex generator, suggests Mr OReilly Theres a lot of forms to fill in, he says Tax planning backlash forces more groups into transparency VANESSA HOULDER Nearly two-thirds of FTSE 100 companies disclose information about their approach to taxation, up from under half two years ago The trend is a sign of the growing pressure to become more transparent about tax, following a backlash against aggressive planning The analysis by PwC, the professional services firm, showed that 64 companies made disclosures in their latest accounts, up from 49 two years earlier Companies are volunteering information in response to public pressure, as well as preparing for new laws mandating more transparency The UK is introducing rules forcing companies to disclose their tax strategy, while Brussels has proposed making them publish where they earn profits and pay taxes in Europe Regulators are also making demands for more transparency PwC said it had already seen early signs of companies changing their disclosures of tax numbers in light of a review by the Financial Reporting Council, the corporate governance regulator Investors have begun to put pressure on companies to become more transparent about their tax payments In a report published last year, PRI, an international network of fund managers pursuing sustainable investment strategies, said the opacity around companies tax affairs meant investors knew little about the risks associated with them Andrew Packman, a partner at PwC, said approaches varied with companies circumstances Some banks and extractive companies were already required to publish details of tax payments, while others had been targeted by campaigners and wanted to provide a more detailed explanation of their position Some companies wanted to make disclosures because their boards supported transparency while those putting little information in the public domain were often foreign-based multinationals with limited UK activity But the tax line remains difficult to interpret Just 18 FTSE 100 companies up from 14 last year provide an explanation of the difference between the tax charge in the accounts and the cash tax actually paid by the group The push by Brussels to make some of this data public is opposed by Germany and some other countries, which say it would put commercially sensitive details into the public domain But Mr Packman said the general assumption was that the data would become public in the medium term because of the weight of opinion in the European Parliament PwC reviewed the annual reports, company websites and corporate responsibility statements for financial years ending between January and December 2015, for all companies listed in the FTSE 100 at March 31 2016 FINANCIAL TIMES Monday 30 May 2016 INTERNATIONAL Football World Cup Immigration fears France considers probe into Qatar decision Swiss seek to rework relationship with EU Move follows allegations that senior figures may have put pressure on Fifa ANNE-SYLVAINE CHASSANY PARIS French authorities are considering launching an inquiry into Fifas decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, amid allegations that senior figures in France may have exerted pressure on footballs world governing body Eliane Houlette, Frances financial prosecutor, said such an inquiry would investigate the role played by Michel Platini, former president of Uefa, European footballs governing body She declined to comment on allegations about the role of the government and the former president Nicolas Sarkozy We have some pieces of information that push us to [open an investigation], she told Europe radio station yesterday If there is an investigation, Michel Platinis role will certainly be an essential part, but the investigation will not centre on him. The comments come amid allegations of corruption and collusion in connection with Fifas decision in 2010 to select Qatar as host of the 2022 tournament The FBI in the US is already investigating how Qatar was awarded the event as part of an investigation into corruption at the organisation In an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag last year, Sepp Blatter, Fifas former chief, alleged Mr Sarkozy had exerted pressure on world footballs governing body He made the claims after French magazine France Football alleged that the then president had asked Mr Platini to help Qatar during a meeting at the Elysộe Palace shortly before Fifas decision to choose the Gulf state in 2010 Mr Platini and Mr Sarkozy have denied wrongdoing A separate French investigation would come at a bad time for Mr Sarkozy, who is expected to announce his candidacy for the centre-right presidential nomination in the next few weeks The former president is back at the helm of the Republican party after being defeated by Socialist leader Franỗois Hollande in 2012 The claims are part of many allegations swirling around Fifa In March, French financial prosecutors searched the French football federation in relation to a SFr2m payment Mr Blatter allegedly made to Mr Platini While Mr Blatter and Mr Platini say the payment, made in February 2011, was back pay for work Mr Platini carried out for Fifa between 1998 and 2002, there was no contract and no record of the payment in Fifas accounts Ms Houlette is also investigating suspicious payments worth about $2m to a company linked to Papa Massata Diack, the son of Lamine Diack, former chief of the International Association of Athletics Federations, over alleged connections to Japans successful bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games The younger Mr Diack previously told The Guardian, the UK newspaper, that he did not wish to comment on the investigation as he was part of the legal process The governance of those big international sports organisations is opaque and autocratic, Ms Houlette said Ms Houlette is also investigating Google and McDonalds over suspected tax fraud Last week, nearly 100 officers raided Googles Paris offices as part of Opộration Tulipe the code name for the investigation looking into suspicions that the US technology group may owe the French state back taxes worth as much as 1.6bn They came out with several teraoctets of documents, Ms Houlette said Politics Brexit effects Netherlands faces referendum shockwave Anti-federalism is rising and activists will want to capitalise if Britain votes to leave the EU SIMON KUPER THE HAGUE It is a traditional Dutch scene: morning commuters cycle through the Binnenhof, the ancient courtyard where the Dutch parliament sits MPs in blue suits and brown brogues trudge through the spring drizzle In the corner tower is the prime ministers office The placid Binnenhof has been the countrys seat of power for centuries But now the established political order has been weakened by voters angry at The Hague and Brussels alike The nativist anti-European PVV party led by Geert Wilders is topping opinion polls ahead of parliamentary elections next March After the UK votes on June 23 on whether to remain a member of the EU, the Netherlands could lead the next assault on the bloc Many politicians say that if Britain decides to leave, Dutch Europhobe activists could force referendums each time the bloc agrees new treaties or imposes changes on the countrys laws The Netherlands was one of the six founders of the European Economic Community in 1957 Today 64 per cent of people in the small trading nation still favour staying in the EU, according to a poll by Ipsos this month Most people know how the sandwich is buttered and that they benefit from the EU, says Anne Mulder, Europe spokesman for the centre-right VVD But, as in the UK, there is now a strong national anti-federalist consensus that runs from far left through the centre to far right Mr Mulder sums up moderate Dutch Euroscepticism: We believe in the EU, but we dont believe in the believers in the EU. Harry van Bommel, MP for the leftist Socialistische Partij, adds: Federalism has become a dirty word when applied to Europe. Dutch voters began turning Eurosceptic when euro notes and coins were introduced in 2002, he says More recently, bailouts for Greece, the migrant crisis and the perceived breaking of European fiscal rules by southern states have heightened anger Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister and head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, The Hague: many Dutch MPs worry that if the UK leaves the EU, federalists will try to give Brussels more powers; PVV party leader Geert Wilders, below says many Dutch people are disquieted by a borderless EU a union that has grown without setting the limits of either its territory or its powers He points to the phrase ever closer union in the preamble to the EECs founding treaty The Netherlands is not very inclined to centralism, he says After a law last year allowed citizens to petition for referendums on new laws or treaties, Eurosceptics immediately forced a vote on the EUs association pact with Ukraine In April voters rejected it, on turnout of just 32 per cent Dutch referendums are merely advisory to governments But many in The Hague see the Ukraine episode as a harbinger of more such votes Mr Wilders says that if Brexit happens, he will immediately propose a referendum on Dutch exit from the EU Sitting in his office in front of a portrait of Winston Churchill, Britains wartime leader, he tells the FT: When, after Brexit, it turns out that the lights dont go out and war doesnt come, that could be an enormous stimulus not just for the Netherlands but for several countries to Subscribe to FT Weekend today think of leaving.

Swiss voters rejected EU membership in 1992 Instead Switzerland negotiated a web of bilateral agreements with the bloc and has aligned many of its laws with those of its neighbours However, the contracts have been under threat since the electorate voted in a referendum two years ago for quotas on immigration from EU countries which would violate the EUs cherished free movement of people The government hopes a compromise deal could be struck, for instance by agreeing an emergency brake that would let Switzerland impose controls on immigration in exceptional circumstances But because Brussels does not want to make life easier for countries outside the EU, talks with Bern have been put on ice until after the UK referendum vote on June 23 The delay may have weakened Switzerlands negotiating hand as its immigration referendum result has to be implemented by February next year three years after the vote was held including parliamentary approvals Following the UK vote, there would be a race against time to reach a deal, Johann Schneider-Ammann, Swiss president, told the NZZ newspaper last week A detailed agreement was unlikely before the summer holidays, but he hoped that we can sketch out together the main points by then Any threat to the bilateral contracts with the EU would alarm Swiss businesses, which rely on the free flow of goods and labour But fears about immigration have risen as Europe has struggled to cope with refugees fleeing wars in countries such as Syria The Eurosceptic Swiss Peoples party won the largest share of the vote in last Octobers parliamentary elections Reconciling Switzerlands conflicting objectives may not be possible, analysts warn So the only solution will be another referendum in which the Swiss chose between keeping the bilaterals but getting less on immigration or having immigration quotas but losing the bilaterals, said Mr Stern Youth unemployment Italian leaders early pension proposal draws mixed reaction JAMES POLITI AND DAVIDE GHIGLIONE ROME Read beyond the expected When, after Brexit, it turns out that the lights dont go out and war doesnt come, that could be an enormous stimulus RALPH ATKINS ZĩRICH A proposal by Mario Renzi to allow workers to claim their state pensions early is likely to please tens of thousands of Italians who have seen their retirement age drift higher But some in Rome fear it will provoke the ire of Brussels amid concern over Italys public finances The prime ministers plan, which would allow pensions to be paid up to three years early, is aimed at increasing generational turnover in Italys labour market and tackling stubbornly high youth unemployment Mr Renzi floated the idea during a live Twitter discussion this month and said he would aim to include the measure in next years budget, due to be presented in October The plan, whose details have yet to be finalised, will be welcomed by Italian businesses eager to replace older, disenchanted staff with younger, keener employees But for pensioners, the proposal, which would allow retirement at 63.7 instead of 66.7, comes with a condition To avoid weighing on Italys public finances, a penalty of between and per cent would be imposed on early retirement cheques, say Italian officials This would either be paid by individuals, or in circumstances such as disability, by the government, or by companies whose employees took early retirement because of a restructuring The prospect of a penalty has drawn opposition from Italian trade unions These are very low pensions already, so a penalty would hurt a lot; it would be a punishment, said Massimo Gibelli, a spokesman for the CGIL, Italys largest trade union People dont retire because its a privilege, but because they cant handle work any more. The scheme could also spark concern in Brussels Although the penalty is expected to make it budget-neutral in the long run, it would involve higher short-term outlays to cover the cost of workers drawing pensions earlier than originally planned These could be as much as 1.6bn in the first year and up to about 6bn in 2021, according to figures from INPS, the national pensions administrator But some in Rome fear the EU might see this as an unwinding of reforms passed by Mario Montis technocratic government at the height of the eurozone crisis in 2011, when Rome was under pressure to rein in public spending The former Italian prime ministers changes to pensions, which lifted the retirement age, were widely welcomed by international institutions as Mario Renzi is trying to address the nations jobless youth figure, which stood at 36.7 per cent in March strengthening Italys welfare system But observers suggest the overriding goal for Mr Renzi, who took office in early 2014 with a mission to revitalise the country after years of economic stagnation and recession, is to find a way of tackling youth unemployment, which fell to 36.7 per cent in March but remains well above the EU average of 21.2 per cent Tito Boeri, an economist who heads INPS, supports the plan It relies on incentives instead of rigid constraints and introduces freedom of choice, he said Stefano Scarpetta, director for employment, labour and social affairs at the OECD in Paris, said across advanced economies there was no evidence that early retirement generated more jobs for young people in the long term Meanwhile, Mr Renzis team is considering creative ways of financing the plan to eliminate any impact on Italys budget and allay Brussels concerns One emerging idea is paying with bank loans so the government would avoid putting in money up front But that has drawn scepticism from trade unions and some opposition politicians On the streets of central Rome, however, the idea of flexible retirement was generally supported Personally, I would retire I cant wait Even if Id probably lose money, said Sabrina, a 55-year-old high school teacher Claudio, a 53-year-old taxi driver, was not so sure: I have to know how much money Im going to lose If its too much Ill work three extra years Otherwise, what am I going to eat afterwards?

There was no doubt Europe was facing difficult tasks, but it had also done and succeeded in many things, Ms Merkel said, praising postwar Franco-German co-operation We have become friends Anne-Sylvaine Chassany I Sean Gallup/Getty Images Truckmakers set for record EU fine Cartel penalty could hit 10.7bn after investigation into price-fixing and emission technology delays CHRISTIAN OLIVER BRUSSELS PETER CAMPBELL LONDON The EU is set to issue the biggest cartel fine in its history, punishing Europes largest truckmakers over charges that they fixed prices and delayed the introduction of new emission technologies Margrethe Vestager, EU competition commissioner, issued the original charge sheet against DAF, Daimler, Iveco, Scania, MAN and Volvo/Renault in 2014 Four of those have now set aside provisions amounting to $2.6bn People close to the discussions on penalties say they are expecting the fine this year, possibly within weeks, unless there is a reversal by the European Commission The expected fine easily outstrips the EUs previous record of 1.4bn for a television and computer monitor tubes cartel in 2012, and dwarfs those imposed over euro and yen interest rate derivative cartels Ms Vestager has compared the action against the truckmakers to her antitrust showdowns with Google, the US search group, and Gazprom, Russias gas export monopoly Her probe focuses on the behaviour of the six companies between 1997 and 2011, according to documents seen by the Financial Times The charges describe several ways in which the manufacturers allegedly colluded on price Most sensitively after the Volkswagen scandal, the companies are also accused of agreeing the timing and price increase levels for the introduction of new emission technologies Ms Vestager has stressed that Europe has 600,000 hauliers and argues that any price collusion among truckmakers would have put up prices of everything from food to furniture The companies said they were co-operating with the investigation, although one added it might appeal against any negative decision In preparation for a big financial hit, DAF has put aside $945m; Iveco $500m, Daimler 600m ($672m) and Volvo SKr3.7bn ($444m) As the whistleblower, MAN, which is owned by Volkswagen Group, would ordinarily escape a fine Only Scania, which is also owned by VW, has not put aside any money Scania remains unable to estimate the impact the investigation will have, the company said It cannot be ruled out that the commission will impose fines on Scania, it added Between them, the six have near total control of the market The commissions inspectors raided their offices in January 2011 Lawyers warned that the provisions made by the companies did not mean the commission would not push for a higher sum Under EU rules, the companies may face a fine of up to 10 per cent of global turnover In the case of the brands involved, that could amount to a maximum of 10.7bn One person briefed on the case said the fines being considered were extremely high and that two truckmakers had discussed leniency with the commission because the full potential fine could cause serious financial problems A fine is often only the initial financial penalty for companies found to be part of a cartel; some hauliers are considering whether to pursue follow-up damages We will be waiting with very keen interest to see what the commission says, said Jack Semple, director of policy at the Road Haulage Association If we see record damages then there will be consequences for that. The commission declined to comment on the case, beyond saying it was a priority EU parliamentarians and environmental campaigners have long had suspicions about truckmakers For 20 years, lorries seemed strangely impervi- 25% Proportion of CO2 coming from road transport that is produced by lorries 36% Estimated increase in CO2 emissions from heavy vehicles between 1990 and 2010 Truck CO2 emissions continue to rise % of road transport emissions 60 2012 2030 50 40 30 20 10 Vans Trucks & buses Cars & motorbikes Source: Transport & Environment ous to market forces that were supposed to make them more fuel efficient and cut emissions Some clues to the mystery emerged in 2014, when Brussels levelled the formal cartel charges But the cartel investigation is only one strand of a broader pattern of alleged collusive behaviour by truckmakers and governments that lobby for them Environmental campaigners allege the truck industry has strongly resisted attempts to improve fuel consumption and slash emissions of carbon dioxide Emissions from lorries are a subject of intense concern because they produce about 25 per cent of the CO2 from road transport, while representing fewer than per cent of vehicles on the roads Despite new, greener technologies, the commission reported in 2014 that heavy vehicles fuel efficiency had stagnated since the mid-1990s and estimated their CO2 emissions increased 36 per cent between 1990 and 2010 The industry says its performance on CO2 emissions should be rated over a longer timeframe, noting big improvements since the mid-1960s Lorry manufacturers also say they have sliced NOx emissions since the introduction of the so-called Euro standards in 2014 ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, said Europes trucks represented only per cent of greenhouse gas emissions while transporting 75 per cent of all landbased freight Since 1965, the fuel consumption of European trucks and with that CO2 emissions has come down by 60 per cent, the ACEA said At the same time, truckmakers have delivered enormous advances in air quality Pollutant emissions have been slashed to near-zero levels, down 98 per cent since 1990. f you are a politician in Brasớlia these days, be careful of friends or associates who sidle up to you asking leading questions This is what Romero Jucỏ, Brazils former planning minister, discovered after he met Sộrgio Machado, the head of a Petrobras subsidiary, for a private chat in March The conversation predated the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff this month, which was led by Mr Jucỏ and his Brazilian Democratic Movement party, or PMDB In a transcript of the exchange released by the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, the pair seemed to conclude that the best way to gain some protection from a corruption inquiry into state-owned Petrobras was to impeach Ms Rousseff of the Workers party, or PT, and install Michel Temer, her vice-president, also of the PMDB, in her place Mr Jucỏ later found out his interlocutor was wiretapping him, and other politicians, reportedly as part of a plea bargain Mr Machado had made with federal investigators for leniency in exchange for helping them gather evidence Indeed, as the Petrobras investigation has expanded, so too has the fear factor in Brasớlia Certain members of Brazils 600-member congress are accused of collaborating with company officials and contractors to extract bribes But while the investigation has changed the rules of the game for Brazilian politics, the players in congress remain largely the same This raises the question of whether the countrys biggest corruption inquiry will be enough to alter a political culture in which graft provides the grease that allows the machine to run Certainly, the investigation is claiming more scalps than any before in the country While acknowledging the Will the countrys existence of the conversation with Mr Machado, biggest corruption Mr Jucỏ denied any investigation be wrongdoing and claimed his comments were taken enough to alter the out of context But Mr political culture? Temer, who is president in an interim capacity, oversaw the stepping-down of Mr Jucỏ from the cabinet lest his presence undermine the fragile legitimacy of an administration that owes its power to the impeachment of an elected president Most people in Brazil seem to agree that, in addition to the graft investigations, political reforms are needed to try to remove some of the incentives for corruption As in many jurisdictions, corruption in Brazil mainly revolves around the need for campaign finance One of the first reforms has already been carried out by the Supreme Court, which has banned corporate donations But without accompanying changes, this will only leave parties starved of funding and perhaps even more vulnerable to corruption Another might be to introduce district representation Under Brazils proportional system, voters elect candidates and parties with little connection to any geographic region This means near-zero individual accountability Another reform might be to end Brazils system of coalitions, in which groups of parties form blocs during election time to gain rights to free television advertising time allotted according to their overall representation in congress These alliances sustain congresss plethora of small parties that might otherwise have to merge with larger ones if they did not receive this support Many of these have no policy platform other than rent-seeking Some border on the absurd, such as the Brazilian Womens party, whose only member of congress is a man Some argue that political reforms will count for little without a fundamental change in Brazilian culture to persuade voters not to keep re-electing tainted politicians But even without political reform, the Petrobras inquiry is a sign of a growing insistence in Brazilian society for more public probity on the part of its politicians While existing crooked players will take time to weed out, the hope is the next generation will embrace the new rules of the game In the meantime, Brazilian politicians will have as much to fear from their friends as from their enemies joseph.leahy@ft.com Migrant crisis Homebuilding Germans and newcomers jostle for space as housing shortage grows STEFAN WAGSTYL BERLIN Bustani Radwan and Tim Gehringer might seem to have little in common One is a 22-year-old Syrian refugee seeking sanctuary from Aleppos bombing and Aegean perils The other is a 25year-old German engineering student from rural Schleswig-Holstein But both are involved in an increasingly tough competition: the race for a flat in Hamburg, one of Germanys most expensive cities They meet for the first time at the viewing of a 40-square-metre flat in Iversstrasse, in a remote northern suburb Mr Radwan is a beginner: he has only looked at seven flats He soon learns how tough things are from Mr Gehringer, who has seen nearly 50 There are always a lot of people, says the German I have been searching for four months I have to make time to study, read and look for flats. With the arrival of more than 1m asylum-seekers in Germany last year, the challenge is about to get harder Mr Radwan is among the first of the newcomers to venture out of the government-financed reception homes and hostels and look in the open market While some migrants will leave and others may be turned away (such as north Africans, who rarely win asylum), more than 60 per cent are securing permission to stay in Germany Many will seek homes in big cities with larger immigrant communities and better job prospects than smaller towns, especially those in ex-communist eastern Germany But big cities are also drawing young Germans escaping the provinces for a metropolitan life Even as the countrys ageing population of 80m has, as a whole, declined, the top five cities have grown 10 per cent since 2000, or 60,000 people annually, driving up rents I would not call it a crisis, says Gunther Adler, state secretary in the housing ministry But housing needs are growing in specific big cities and in university towns because the lifestyle is becoming more attractive. Most refugees face disadvantages as they usually speak little or any German and know nothing of the complex rules governing rented accommodation Local authorities have refrained from building special immigrant blocks to avoid ghettos Refugees seeking social housing compete with locals Few newly arrived migrants can fend for themselves like Mr Radwan They rely instead on local officials and charities, such as Hamburg-based Wohnbrỹcke Koordinierungsstelle Wohnbrỹcke worker Alina Thiem says the charity assists those with good prospects of remaining in Germany She says that, alongside charities and volunteers, the authorities should put more effort into assisting refugees Integration is not only a cultural but a structural challenge There needs to be new jobs like district refugee co-ordinators perhaps people who themselves have a migrant background. Bustani Radwan, left, and Tim Gehringer With refugees adding to housing demand, builders are boosting construction: new home numbers have risen from 159,000 in 2009 to 270,000 last year But the government wants 350,000 annually A record 603,000 homes were built in 1995 in a post-reunification boom, but the industry is losing skilled craftspeople through retirement and a shortage of young German recruits The DBI, the construction industry association, says refugees help fill the gap, but only when they learn German and qualify This year the government has doubled funds to the 16 regions, boosting housing investment to 1bn, with a further rise to 1.5bn planned for 2017 In Hamburg the public homebuilding programme is being expanded from 6,000 flats a year to 10,000, with a oneoff plan for 4,800 refugee homes Dorothee Stapelfeldt, the citys housing chief, says: We expect more competition for social housing, so we have this special programme to head off possible tensions.

A company employee known only as Mr Wang had previously told The Global Times, a Chinese newspaper, that the critics were too sensitive, and the issue of racial discrimination never came up during the production of the video The unwelcome publicity undermines Chinas portrayal of itself as a benevolent partner for Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East, free of the exploitative and racist legacy of the European colonial powers President Xi Jinping has relaunched a diplomatic initiative that recalls Chinas role as a beacon for unaligned countries during the Cold War Resurrecting this reading of China as an advocate for poorer countries and an alternative to the US comes after a decade of unprecedented outbound investment in resources and infrastructure In the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese

throws Obama climate legacy into doubt Slow sign-up leaves emissions deal vulnerable to veto by Republican presidency appeals court dealt the president a blow by ruling the administration could no longer enforce compliance deadlines for the power plant initiative The appeals court will hear oral arguments over the Clean Power Plan on September 27 But the cases significance is likely to push it to the Supreme Court, which means a final ruling on the plan will not come until the next president is in office He or she could also end up filling the top courts current vacant seat If Mr Trump were in charge he could intervene by asking the court for a voluntary remand, sending it back to regulators who he could tell to render it toothless, said a veteran Washington environmental lawyer More radically, the president could get it thrown out by telling judges the government had done a 180-degree turn and now agreed with its opponents That rarely happens even with a change of administration, but its not unprecedented, said the lawyer BARNEY JOPSON WASHINGTON PILITA CLARK LONDON Donald Trump is sowing doubt over the Paris climate change pact as his hostility towards the deal and the growing swagger of his campaign focus attention on how he could undermine it as president The Republican candidate last week vowed to cancel the painstakingly negotiated agreement, a threat experts said was unrealistic But his comments put a spotlight on its slow ratification and weak spots in President Barack Obamas climate legacy While Mr Trump could not singlehandedly scrap the agreement which Washington and Beijing rallied more than 190 countries to join he could withdraw the US, the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter after China, or block the action needed to cut emissions to the levels promised by Mr Obama The Paris accord, hailed as a turning point in more than 20 years of efforts to combat climate change, requires countries to set out plans to help keep global warming well below 2C from preindustrial times The Obama administration has vowed to cut US greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28 per cent from 2005 levels by 2025 But if Mr Trump used the presidency to cast doubt on the need for climate action, he could weaken the resolve of other leaders sceptical about the deal Attacks on the Paris agreement could occur at three different levels under a Trump presidency Withdrawal from the pact No single country can cancel the deal because it would require each of the nearly 200 nations that negotiated it to agree to its abandonment Once the agreement is in force it is also impossible for a country to withdraw overnight Even if Donald Trump becomes president he cannot pull the US out of the Paris accord quickly because there is a four-year withdrawal period written into the agreement, said Michael Jacobs, a UN climate negotiations expert at the Institute for Public Policy Research, a UK think-tank Executive (in)action 40% Thats not a coincidence, he added, noting the timing matched the length of a US presidential term However, the agreement is not yet in force and it is not likely to be by the time a new president is sworn in next January a possibility that could leave Mr Trump with an easier get-out if he wins The Paris accord cannot take effect until it is formally ratified or joined by 55 countries accounting for 55 per cent of global emissions So far, only 17 countries representing 0.04 per cent of emissions have ratified it China and the US have said they plan to join this year but they account for only about 40 per cent of

agreement may not start until 2018 The US courts The fate of US climate policies is not solely in the hands of the president The centrepiece of Mr Obamas Paris pledges an initiative to cut carbon emissions from the power sector is hanging in the balance as its legality is weighed by the courts Mr Obama was unable to curb emissions via legislation in Congress and has resorted to using regulations, which are vulnerable to lawsuits from states and energy companies that dislike them In February a District of Columbia Donald Trump speaks at a rally in San Diego last week The Republican candidate has vowed to cancel the Paris climate change deal Chris Carlson/ AP Even if the courts upheld Mr Obamas plan to cut emissions from power plants, a President Trump could choose to disrupt it With a co-operative Congress he could cut funding for the Environmental Protection Agency, the regulator in charge, or promote legislation to slow the initiatives implementation Or he could signal to the states that their plans for meeting the Clean Power Plan goals would not be reviewed rigorously, said Rhea Suh, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group The power plant initiative is vital because it tackles the USs biggest single source of greenhouse gases, accounting for 40 per cent of the total But Mr Trump could also delay moves to stop methane leaks, curb vehicle emissions and promote energy efficiency Some of those things would be challenged in court, but even if they were in some legal limbo he would effectively really halt our progress, said Ms Suh The actual slowing down of things may in fact be a reversal in itself.

The white paper also tracks a rapid rise in the number of people requiring long-term care, with a Cabinet Office survey suggesting that fewer than 45 per cent of people approaching retirement are confident of funding care costs from their pension and other income The same survey, however, found that 76 per cent of over-65s were either not worried or not much worried about their current economic situation The government survey also charts what it describes as a remarkable increase in the number of elderly people living alone, whose proportion of the overall population of over-65s doubled between 1980 and 2010 The household composition data also notes a continuing surge in the number of Japanese working beyond traditional retirement age AMY KAZMIN NEW DELHI To many international investors, the Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan is a near-hero: the market-savvy central banker who tamed Indias inflation, restored its macroeconomic stability and is driving a banking system clean-up But admiration is not universal Many Indian businessmen are frustrated that interest rates have not fallen faster Some tycoons are unhappy with growing pressure to repay their overleveraged companies debts to ailing state banks, despite tough economic times Now, with Mr Rajans first term ending in September, an influential politician from prime minister Narendra Modis Bharatiya Janata party has launched a scathing attack, accusing the RBI governor of a wilful and apparently deliberate attempt to wreck the Indian economy In a letter last week to Mr Modi, Subramanian Swamy, a 77-year-old Harvard-educated economist, complains about high interest rates and even claims Mr Rajan is mentally not fully Indian, since he has a green card that allows him to live and work in the US The criticism, by a prominent lawmaker to whom the BJP gave a parliamentary seat only last month, has worried investors already anxious that Mr Rajan might be replaced by someone more pliant and less voluble So far neither Mr Modi nor his administration has given any hint of their leanings, with officials saying the RBI leadership will be announced in August It does give palpitations to investors, Rajeev Malik, senior economist at CLSA, said Raghu stands out as the single most potent policymaker, who has enthused foreign investors in terms of macro-stability and encouraged their confidence in Indian policymaking. The governor was accused of a wilful and apparently deliberate attempt to wreck the economy He added that Raghu would leave very big shoes to fill A former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund and University of Chicago business school professor, Mr Rajan took the reins of the RBI in September 2013, when the rupee was plummeting and inflation was at double-digit levels Since then he has waged a determined battle against Indias spiralling prices, persuading New Delhi to adopt a formal inflation-targeting framework for its once ad hoc monetary policy Inflation, nearly 11 per cent in 2013, fell to 5.8 per cent last year heavily helped by plunging oil prices He has been able to break the back of inflation, for which he should be given full credit, says Surjit Bhalla of Observatory Group, a New York-based economics consultancy It was a superb appointment and it remains a superb appointment I dont think they can much better. But the straight-talking Mr Rajan who presciently warned of trouble before the 2008 global finance crisis has ruffled feathers in New Delhi Last year he called for tolerance of diverse opinions, arguing that Indias prosperity depended on its intellectual freedom His words were interpreted as thinly veiled criticism of BJP hardliners, who have been accused of fostering intolerance of minorities and demanding universal adherence to Hindu orthodoxy Mr Rajan raised hackles in New Delhi again more recently while in Washington for the IMF and World Bank spring meetings Asked by a reporter about Indias reputation as a bright spot in the gloomy global economy, he cited the proverb, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king His words upset Indias image-sensitive administration But Mr Rajan refused to apologise except to the blind and clarified that he was not denigrating India but merely emphasising that the country still had much to to unleash its full potential, and should not get carried away by our current superiority in growth In demanding Mr Rajans removal, Mr Swamy accused the governor of publicly disparaging the BJP government and displaying reckless disregard for Indias national security, by sending confidential and sensitive financial information on his University of Chicago email address Despite the resentment of the governor among some in the BJP, Mr Modi and Mr Rajan appear to have common interests Both want to end crony capitalism and are committed to broadening access to financial services Monday 30 May 2016 FINANCIAL TIMES FT BIG READ INDIA BUSINESS Billionaire Anil Ambani is betting that defence will save Reliance, his indebted company He has an ally in Narendra Modi, the prime minister, who plans to pour billions into modernising the military By Henny Sender J ust over a year ago, Indian entrepreneur Nikhil Gandhi was forced to sell a controlling stake in his heavily indebted Pipavav shipyard in the state of Gujarat Some of the biggest conglomerates in India lined up to buy the shares in Pipavav, which builds warships for the Indian navy Among the companies jostling for control were Anand Mahindras Mahindra & Mahindra, the Munjal family and Anil Ambanis Reliance group Both the Munjals and Mahindra expected to win the coveted stake Indeed, Mr Gandhi had even signed a preliminary agreement with the Munjals But to the amazement of the other bidders, the prize went to Mr Ambani, whose Reliance group is one of the 10 most indebted companies in India, according to Credit Suisse Mr Ambani had never even seen the shipyard until after he had acquired the stake, according to both Mr Ambani and Mr Gandhi But Mr Gandhi expressed confidence that his new partner, with his political and business connections, would help the shipyard thrive as India seeks to expand its naval capabilities India must develop blue water capacity, says Mr Gandhi The pie is very big now, he adds, referring to the expectation that Narendra Modi, the prime minister, will raise military budgets significantly in coming years Mr Ambanis acquisition of the stake, worth about $300m, is thought to have been the largest ever sale in the Indian defence industry Becoming the biggest shareholder of Pipavav, now renamed Reliance Defence and Engineering, was crucial to Mr Ambanis ambition to transform his company from an indebted owner of everything from cement factories to telecoms into one of the leading private defence groups in India Mr Ambani is betting that defence will save Reliance Since winning the Pipavav stake, Mr Ambani has travelled the globe, forming relations and securing contracts with defence suppliers in Russia, France and Israel to rapidly expand his defence holdings He has applied for licences to produce equipment including submarines, satellites and helicopters At the end of last year, Mr Ambani signed an agreement with a Russian Defensive mode A big positive Whatever his critics say, there is agreement that Mr Ambani has a competitive advantage when it comes to the defence industry: a close relationship to Mr Modi He was also one of the first to heed the prime ministers call to support Make in India, a crucial part of his economic policy Indeed, Mr Gandhi chose to sell his shipyard to Mr Ambani in part because the sale had Mr Modis blessing, he says Yet precisely because he is aware of his reputation, Mr Ambani is determined to succeed and prove the naysayers wrong, his supporters claim A marathon runner, Mr Ambani is capable of great focus when he is engaged Make in India Building up the countrys defence industry is seen as a strategic priority in New Delhi Reliance pivot Ambani is focusing on the sector as it is seen as having clear regulation and a good return on equity Companies including Adani, Bharat Forge, Mahindra and various arms of Tata Group are heeding the call and forming relations with defence groups from Britain, France and Israel to Russia and the US Make in India has become the second career option for retired defence personnel, Outlook, a weekly news magazine, said recently, referring to the corporate competition to recruit such figures More than a dozen three-star military commanders have joined the Pipavav shipyard, the magazine said Perhaps the single biggest spender in the coming years will be the Indian navy, the seventh-largest by number of ships, as it gears up to meet the growing local Chinese presence In July, the latest Indian naval indigenisation plan was announced as part of the governments effort to cut its dependence on foreign suppliers That scheme calls for involving private sector Indian companies to help reduce imports Regional spending spree All this explains the importance of Pipavav, which is one of two

exchange for the country company to manufacture, refit and upgrade several warships for the navy at Pipavav, another one to refit submarines and a third to make helicopters for the Indian military But there are many who doubt that the 56-year-old Mr Ambani, known more as a dealmaker than a builder of businesses, can pull it off Defence is the ultimate big boys game, says one banker You need deep pockets and technical expertise to meet very exacting specifications. Some bankers in Mumbai say that Mr Ambani was at his best many years ago when he served as chief financial officer of Reliance Industries, the heart of the conglomerate his father built, before he and his powerful elder brother Mukesh broke off relations with each other That break was at least partly because doing deals and then swiftly moving on to the next thing suited the younger brothers personality To the heavy lifting of executing on deals was far less interesting Today, Mr Ambani is worth $3.3bn, according to Forbes, but most of that is inherited rather than money he has earned, sceptics say Others say he is more of a celebrity than an entrepreneur or a businessman Part of that image stems from the fact that Mr Ambani is married to a former movie star While he is selling some of his media and entertainment assets, he still loves the glamour of Bollywood Global reach Since the shipyard deal Anil Ambani has formed relations with suppliers in Russia, France and Israel India Philippines Japan 50 100 150 Source: SIPRI Anil Ambani walks behind Narendra Modi, prime minister, at the launch of a Digital India project in New Delhi last year Saurabh Das/AP Photo $300m CostofReliancegroupsacquisitionofalarge stakeintheheavilyindebtedPipavavshipyard inGujaratstate 49% CeilingintroducedbyNarendraModionforeign ownershipofdefencejointventures,upfrom26 percent $520bn ForecastannualdefencespendinginAsiaby 2020,withChinaaccountingfor40percentof thetotal Competitors Tata and its rivals fire starting gun on arms race This is one area where we would not like to be number one, Narendra Modi, Indias prime minister, told an arms industry conference last year, an unusual remark from a leader who has sought national advancement on various global rankings The area in question was arms imports, on which India has been the worlds biggest spender for the past decade, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute For Mr Modi, this is a missed opportunity to develop the domestic Sitting with a cup of tea in his office, where the walls are lined with pictures of himself with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, Mr Modi and other dignitaries, Mr Ambani reels off the advantages of his strategic shift away from infrastructure to defence For cost, quality and price the government has to outsource more to the private sector, he says You are dealing with one customer, the central government There is no regulatory uncertainty You are creating jobs You are contributing to Modis Make in India and Skill India programmes And the return on equity is superior. Even better for a cash-strapped company like Reliance, defence does not require massive spending upfront That is because most of the heavy capital commitment comes from the government, which provides financial advances to contractors As he builds his defence operations, Mr Ambani is responding to incentives that come directly from the prime ministers office in New Delhi At the centre of Mr Modis Make in India campaign is a desire to reduce Indias dependence on imported military equipment Defence is one of the few areas where Make in India can happen, says Sanjay Bhandarkar, head of Rothschild in India If they can get it right, it would be a big positive for the country. Today, India spends more on imported arms than any other country Growth in the Indian military budget is expected to outpace that of all other major defence spenders over the next five years, says Craig Caffrey, principal analyst at IHS Janes Ninety per cent of it $40bn-$50bn military budget, the fourth-largest in the world, goes to foreign manufacturers, mostly Russia The only things India spends more on are energy and capital equipment Previously, India imported almost everything, Mr Ambani adds We werent even making our own bulletproof vests. manufacturing sector and he has promised that future expenditure will show a clear preference for equipment manufactured in India Soon after Mr Modi took office, Tata, Indias biggest conglomerate, identified arms as one of its top-five growth targets for the next decade Other major groups to see potential opportunity are Mahindra & Mahindra, in armoured vehicles and helicopters; Larsen & Toubro, which is strong in submarine construction; and Bharat Forge, which in February outlined hopes of using Indian military contracts to become one of the worlds top-three artillery gun producers Big-ticket deals have been slow in coming but New Delhi says it is working to tackle the slowness, opacity and corruption associated with government purchases Under recent proposals, the government will nominate a few private companies that could lead major defence projects That plan has prompted criticism that it will unfairly benefit major groups, pushing smaller companies into the margins This focus could also spell leaner times for state-owned companies such as Hindustan Aeronautics, previously the preferred domestic suppliers for Indian military procurement, which were dismissed as two or three decades behind western groups in a leaked 2010 cable by the then US ambassador to India Simon Mundy Adding value Today, Mr Modi is encouraging foreign manufacturers to more with Indian partners Soon after becoming prime minister in 2014, he lifted the 26 per cent ceiling on the size of foreigners stakes in defence joint ventures to 49 per cent At the same time, the defence ministry requires that for every order worth a minimum of $62m, any foreign contractor has to produce 30 per cent of the value locally to reduce imports and build a more solid industrial base It has been one of the prime ministers best moves, says Deepak Parekh, founder of HDFC, a financial services group Today every defence maker in the world is looking to invest in India At the same time, this will facilitate creation of jobs and save foreign exchange for the country. Moreover, in the past, any crumbs that did not go to overseas groups went to Indias inefficient public sector groups But since May last year, Mr Modi has encouraged private sector companies to participate, making the sector more attractive to foreign suppliers than if they had to work only with government-owned entities Even before he became prime minister, Mr Modi reached out to all the industrialists and urged them to look at defence, says a close associate of Mr Ambanis He said he wanted more to be made in India and that the public sector cant it. At the end of March, the government introduced defence procurement rules that give priority to indigenously designed, developed and manufactured products Self-reliance is a major cornerstone on which the military capability of any nation must rest, the government said Defence is the ultimate big boys game You need deep pockets and technical expertise to meet very exacting specifications tioning private sector shipyards and the largest dry dock for warships in the country There are several public sector shipyards but the backlog of orders is so long that their output is constrained Even while he has been building the defence business, Mr Ambani has been raising as much as $8.5bn as he sells his infrastructure assets to halve his debt, according to market analysts, in one of the more dramatic deleveraging of Indias indebted conglomerates He has exited the cement business by selling to Birla Corporation, another Indian conglomerate The telecoms towers went to a North American company, while a big stake in Mumbais electricity business went to Public Sector Pension Investment Board, a large Canadian pension plan Still on the block are toll roads and power plants He plans to be debt-free by early next year The effort to use defence as the catalyst for growth in India comes as it is reeling from yet another procurement scandal The latest one concerns an order from AgustaWestland for helicopters to replace the ageing fleet that transports the prime minister and other government leaders Most new acquisitions become scandals, says Shekhar Gupta, a political columnist Many are then terminated, leaving our forces with a fraction of the needed inventory, and short of spares and ammunition Nobody is caught and punished, he adds Other Asian nations are also stepping up their defence spending The region is expected to spend $520bn on defence by 2020, according to IHS Janes, with China accounting for 40 per cent of the total Whether Indias focus on defence can help transform Mr Ambanis business depends in large part on his ability to run the businesses he has been assembling over the past year He needs to demonstrate skill at manufacturing and fiscal prudence, says the head of a foreign bank in Mumbai It is a big ask.

trade is built on strong strategic alliances MONDAY 30 MAY 2016 The puzzle that baffles the worlds economies Slowing output per hour is worrying but little understood There can be few problems that are so important and yet command so little consensus about their source and solution as the general slide in productivity growth across the worlds economies The Conference Board, a research organisation, said last week that labour productivity as measured by output per hour was likely to fall in the US for the first time in more than three decades America is not alone; across the developed world and, more recently, the emerging markets, productivity has been slowing for a decade or more The implications are stark A weak expansion in productivity will only put more downward pressure on real wage growth, which has already been anaemic in many advanced economies To the extent that stagnant real wages feed economic populism, it will endanger political stability and a respect for liberal values even in established democracies It will also threaten the solvency of pension schemes, which rely on future tax revenues and profits Yet while most economists concur that slowing productivity is one of the most serious problems in their field today, there is little agreement on the cause and still less on the right response Only one thing seems obvious: the productivity slowdown has hit such disparate economies that a single global solution is unlikely to have much effect Policymakers must experiment and be eclectic in their response Sometimes, there is a common international problem that has a clear solution, even if it has to be applied country-by-country Inflation in many countries was out of control in the late 1970s and early 1980s; it needed tighter monetary policy to drive it out of the system Advanced economies exited the early 1990s recession with large structural deficits; judicious efforts to reduce those deficits were appropriate But weak productivity is not one of those For example, the theory that regulations are stifling innovation seems odd given that the slowdown has affected relatively liberalised economies like the US as well as more regulated economies in Europe and the emerging markets A wholesale tossing-out of protections for workers and rules on health and safety seems unlikely to jump-start global growth It is possible, though, to look at the weakness of each economy, or type thereof, and come up with particular solutions In mature economies with weak investment, such as the US, UK or Germany, very low long-term interest rates justify increased public spending on infrastructure both to boost demand directly and productive capacity In some advanced economies, such as Italy, where there is less scope to go on a borrowing spree, obvious gains are to be made in microeconomic improvements such as reforming the sclerotic judiciary, an important part of Prime Minister Matteo Renzis plans And in many emerging markets, there are gains to be made from more traditional deregulatory reform, together with switching money from wasteful subsidies on fuel or other goods to education and training The productivity slowdown is far from being a clear-cut problem with obvious solutions Indeed, some suggest the real picture is better than official data show, because they underrecord gross domestic product in service-based economies where output is harder to measure Yet there are problems in individual countries, or groups of them, that seem clear enough to make suggestions about changes in policy The inability of modern economies to generate more from the same labour supply may not be a fast-moving crisis but it is a problem that needs urgent and sustained attention Taking the party out of the mosque in Tunisia Nahda has shown the way to compromise by scrapping Islamism The decision by the largest party in Tunisias parliament to scrap its Islamist label and prioritise political goals over proselytising, is a reassuring reminder of the countrys unique success in preserving democratic gains made in the wake of the Arab uprisings Endorsed last week at a Nahda party congress, the rebranding is an isolated occurrence unlikely to have immediate influence on Islamist movements beyond Tunisias borders The evolution of the countrys politics nonetheless provides a welcome counterpoint to the tyranny and extremism that has swept the Arab world since 2011 The changes to the Nahda party point towards a way of reconciling ardent religious adherence with democratic norms within a pluralistic environment Their decision to rebrand as Muslim Democrats informed by Islamic values without giving these ascendancy over all else echoes the pragmatic origins of Turkeys Justice and Development party (AKP) before its lurch to authoritarianism In the early part of the past decade, the AKP greatly broadened its appeal beyond what Turkish Islamist parties had previously enjoyed by accepting the secular nature of the state and renouncing ambitions to impose Islamic law The Nahda party has ditched the Islamist label in part to distance itself from jihadist groups who wear the same badge Among other substantive changes, the party has prohibited its leaders from serving religious organisations at the same time, and eased restrictions to its membership criteria These measures may not entirely reflect a separation of mosque and party They however imply a recognition that Islamism is neither an effective ideology for governing nor for sustaining power Like the AKP before it, Nahda hopes that the softening of its religious aspirations will enable it to gather support beyond its traditionally conservative constituency The enlightened self-interest reflected in this approach stands in marked contrast to that taken by Egypts Muslim Brotherhood Instead of seeking to govern with legitimacy after being elected into office in the aftermath of the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood sought to colonise Egypts institutions to the exclusion of everyone else The movement has been officially banned since its ouster in 2013 and the ferocious backlash against it continues Unlike their Tunisian peers, whose battles with secular rivals at one point came close to derailing the nascent democracy, the Brotherhood has had little chance to absorb the lessons of defeat Driven underground, the movement stands divided between younger members advocating more violent resistance to the military-backed government and elders who have always favoured a quieter approach towards building support Neither faction has sought to soften their religious dogma That Nahda is choosing compromise over confrontation is partly because in Tunisia political freedom is protected and strategies developed in the past to survive dictatorship are no longer necessary That is an example for the repressive Arab states that have frequently driven Islamists towards more violent manifestations of their ideology by attempting to crush them Freed from the distraction of such battles, it is to be hoped that all the parties in Tunisias governing coalition can focus on the urgent task of tackling economic stagnation, unemployment and other fuel for terrorists In this the sole surviving democracy to have emerged from the uprisings of five years ago deserves more support from the outside world than it has received to date trade flows should have a faster pace in the initial years of any such arrangement That is exactly what happened to Mercosur Also, one should consider that the two main partners in Mercosur have been affected by the worst macroeconomic downturns in their recent history Weak growth in the short run tends to slow down trade exchanges The authors mistake structural patterns for dynamic vectors of the agreements Mexico and Chile, for instance, had a higher export/gross domestic product rate than Mercosur countries even before the Pacific Alliance had been set up It is not the best approach to try to infer long term trends in foreign direct investment from a rather small sample (three years) In fact, what the data really show is that Mercosur has a larger FDI/GDP ratio than the Pacific Alliance On top of that, to talk about a rivalry between Argentina and Brazil in 2016 is laughable In fact, the two largest countries in South America have built a strong strategic partnership which is at the very core of Mercosur Also, contrary to what the article suggests, I am fully convinced of the importance of Mercosur, and I am ready to work with our partners with a view to its strengthening Josộ Serra Minister of Foreign Affairs, The Federative Republic of Brazil Relentless pro-Remain arguments are exhausting Helicopter money could help in migrant crisis How to tackle the distortion of liabilities Sir, I find myself exhausted by the relentless one-sidedness of the FT on the EU referendum This has culminated with your editorial, Vote Leave is damaging Britains political culture (May 26) Do you live in a completely parallel universe? I have many friends on both sides of this debate The damage to the political culture of this country is coming from the barrage of bullying half-truths from the prime minister and his supporters These have been clearly corrected elsewhere but it is this that has provoked furious reactions from those who feel any truth has been jettisoned to defend a highly questionable institution and caused the damage to Britains political culture You, ladies and gentlemen, are complicit in it Campbell Gordon Ramsbury, Wilts, UK Sir, In his response to John Kays piece, Eric Lonergan (Letters, May 20) asked why the use of helicopter money has not started My take is that this type of money is already used in many European countries Implicitly, helicopter money, by definition, is assumed to apply to the indigenous population Though, for the expected positive outcome it should not matter if the money instead as in the present cases is spent on newcomers, the migrants Today we are witnesses to how money printed, borrowed from abroad or taken from money reserved for use abroad (foreign aid) is spent to feed, lodge and provide migrants with a decent standard of living This comes very close to the original meaning of helicopter money and has indeed been shown to boost gross domestic product, increase inflation and lower unemployment in the indigenous population Sweden, with its high per-capita arrival of migrants in the European context, is a good example Hence, when the humanitarian aspects are put at the forefront and the costs of the monetary policy experiment become an issue for a distant future, the European Central Bank should consider the use of helicopter money as part of a solution to the deadlock among member states regarding the migration issue Professor Lars Oxelheim Chairman, Swedish Network for European Studies in Economics and Business, Lund University, Lund, Sweden Sir, David Fogarty gives a good analysis of the causes of pensions deficits (Letters, May 26), the principle of which is the effect of quantitative easing His solutions would work but would have to be introduced scheme by scheme Given that the distortion of interest rates by QE is increasing pension scheme liabilities, Denmark produced a solution It now allows pension schemes to discount liabilities at per cent per annum regardless of the yield on the assets that match the pension liabilities The argument is that the liabilities are very long-term and the long-term yield on a portfolio of pension scheme assets will be no less than per cent Instantly pension deficits are reduced or removed This would not only help BHS and Tata Steels liabilities but also many other pension schemes A likely consequence is that finance directors saving cash to pay into the pension fund would have cash to invest QE might even then help investment and a better outlook for growth in the economy Of course, the actuarial profession, of which I am a member but not a pensions actuary, would have to sit on their hands till interest rates rose They might even come round to supporting Ros Altmanns wish for greater investment in shares in pension funds Ian Reynolds Billericay, Essex, UK Sir, As a long-time reader and admirer of your newspaper, I was surprised and disappointed to read Trade pacts: Latin Americas new faultline (EM Squared, FT.com May 24) Besides being based on the highly questionable argument of a new split in Latin America, supposedly brought about by the opposition between Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance integration mechanisms, the article disregards objective differences and overlooks relevant circumstances and data in comparing the two blocks Mercosur has welcomed the establishment of the Pacific Alliance, has trade agreements with its three South American members (Chile, Colombia and Peru), which will lead to Irony is lost on some of the Leave campaigners Sir, If, as reported in the FT, Cameron urges the young to register for poll, (May 26), the Right Honourable John Redwood MP thinks the Institute for Fiscal Studies is part of a cosy establishment, perhaps it is time for him to come clean on what might qualify or disqualify a person from membership of this group of people that he and the Brexit camp routinely damn for their pro-EU stance Presumably the indicators would not include being a Privy counsellor, a distinguished fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, a Conservative MP for three decades, regular guest on BBC Radio discussion panels and contributor of a column on investment in the FT, or else he himself might be prone to such woefully misguided views? As Philip Stephens correctly notes in The myth of Brussels (mis) rule (Comment, May 27), the Leavers have no grasp of irony Tom Brown Director, New Europeans London SW5, UK Morally unsound reasoning on referendum Sir, Given the amount of research being published daily that highlights the startling consequences for us all if we vote to leave the EU (May 29), one wonders why we were ever offered a referendum at all Gorbachev, a Russian prophet without honour Book review By John Lloyd The New Russia By Mikhail Gorbachev (Polity Press) a free trade zone by 2019, and is negotiating with Mexico the widening of tariff reduction agreements The two mechanisms hold regular meetings to advance their co-operation They share the goal of enhancing their role in the global trade markets and consider that ever growing co-ordination between them, at many levels, can be achieved and should be pursued There is no divide, only convergence based on shared goals While comparing the performance of the two integration processes (Mercosur, established 25 years ago, and the Pacific Alliance, established in 2011), the article overlooks the different stages of their evolution It is only natural that the intensification of Obama at Hiroshima: would Trump weaken the US pivot to Asia? Surely a morally sound and fiscally responsible government would not waste public money even contemplating such an enterprise if it already knew these facts? The only conclusion I can draw is that either way the government is morally unsound What conclusion should I draw about their facts? Bob Klee Braintree, Essex, UK No fraternisation policies at work are gaining ground Sir, Reading Mr Rombergs letter, Distinguishing between sex and sexism at work (May 25), compels me to respond How he believes that work is a proper forum for sexual interaction is beyond me If advances are mutually acceptable between parties it creates an unprofessional atmosphere of potential jealousy and a situation rife for sexual politics If the advances are rejected, you have created an awkward and uncomfortable situation for both parties again, unprofessional People may be people, but there is a reason that No Fraternisation policies are increasingly common in the workplace An employee/employer, or student/teacher has the right to expect a working/learning space as practically free of all the sexual forces and games in play as possible Adult behaviour, as opposed to adultrated behaviour, goes a long way towards creating a mutually respectful working and learning environment If the parties concerned find the situation untenable, then one or both of them can find employment elsewhere Ted Gaffney Waterford, CT, US The central narrative in Mikhail Gorbachevs memoir is his reluctant, at times anguished, acceptance that the second Russian president Vladimir Putin is made of more authoritarian stuff than the first and last president of the Soviet Union wanted to admit He wished fervently to see him as one come to power to end the chaos of the erratic rule of Boris Yeltsin, who gained supreme power by his ruthless pulling down of both Mr Gorbachev and the Soviet Union in 1991 This power, in the unravelling economy and society of the post-Soviet years, was unequal to the task of establishing either order or the rule of law, the more so after Yeltsin, a man of talent and courage, fell prey to depression and drink The view of Mr Putin as the latest Russian bear unsheathing its claws to gouge out more territory in the west is the default opinion in Europe and America In Mr Gorbachev it is more interesting since the reference points of his world view are neither western nor the prevailing Putin-influenced Russian take They come out of his brave, doomed effort to turn the Soviet Union from failing communist superpower into the eastern extremity of Europe, which he called we should ever be so lucky our Common European Home Instead, he has had to witness the narrowing of his generous vision into the aggressive meanness of Mr Putin, for whom R Russia is at once the suffering victim of neo-imperialist aggression and the Slavic phoenix Tata pension reduction plan is not a new idea Sir, I read with interest the coverage of the change to Tata pensions (The risk to UK pensions from Tatas special deal, May 27), from an uplift linked to the retail price index to one linked to the consumer price index Your editorial notes that the Tata proposal could set a precedent in reducing pension payments to those already retired This change has of course been implemented without adverse comment for those in the public sector If promises made on behalf of the nation are disregarded, why expect more from a private sector company? Dr Judith Dawson Northampton, Northants, UK empowered to redress the wrongs of the past two decades and restore empire lost Mr Gorbachev began with high hopes of the former KGB LieutenantColonel Putin: He was doing his best to develop policies in the interests of Russian citizens and to overcome the inertia of the Yeltsin years. Doubts creep in from abroad: a talk in the mid-2000s with the French prime minister, who expresses the view that Mr Putin would need to be authoritarian to carry through his programme Mr Gorbachev dissents but when, after the bloody siege of a school in the North Caucasus by Chechen terrorists in 2004, Mr Putin seizes the chance to abolish elections for regional governors and non-party candidates for the Russian parliament, the doubts become more overt By the end of Mr Putins first two terms, Mr Gorbachev sees him as one with no interest in democracy After an interregnum with Dmitry Medvedev as a virtual presidential puppet, Mr Putin returns Mr Gorbachev at this point views him as one prepared to have elections rigged, whose position and wealth make it perilous to renounce power and whose arrogant falsification of the results of the ballots for the Duma and the presidency and his suppression of non-governmental organisations seen to be carrying out the orders of foreign masters, seal the conviction that this is a new form of tyranny Mr Putins version of tyranny is in many ways less oppressive than the Pax Americana has not exactly been peaceful Sir, In your editorial, Obamas pivot to Asia remains unfinished (May 26) you write [Mr Trump] undercuts the bipartisan assumptions that have driven 70 years of US foreign policy, not least in the Asia Pacific Pax Americana has by and large kept the peace In that 70 years we have had two major wars, in Korea and Vietnam The Vietnam war, in particular, pointlessly caused the deaths of more than 1m people I would not describe this as keeping the peace The US position seems to be that it is the judge and enforcer of international agreements anywhere in the world Mr Trump believes that Asia would be better off if its security was left to Asians I think he has a point Nick Patterson Cambridge, MA, US Soviet version; in some ways, as in its aggressively mendacious propaganda, it is worse It is, like Mr Gorbachev, a garrulous book (I once managed to ask him four questions in a two-hour interview) It is padded out with reproductions of his and others articles, expressions of support from grateful Russians and reports of his talks with other statesmen He describes at length the creation of his Social Democratic party, which has achieved little; and he dwells on the activities of the Gorbachev Foundation, which has achieved less But beyond that approaching his 90s, sometimes ailing, always mourning Raisa, his wife he has produced a reflection full of an earnest desire that former enemies understand each other and find f common ground in a febrile world This is a reminder of how vast his achievement was in allowing in the light of freedom Where Nelson Mandela, his contemporary, was great beyond the whites deserts in building a post-apartheid nation, Mr Gorbachev was great beyond the deserts of the Soviet Union (and perhaps even of the west, which could barely understand or trust him) in proposing a way for the despotic world to aspire to democratic governance, freely organised civil society and rule of law That he failed, he keenly knows Our best hope is that his ideas, in time, succeed The writer is an FT contributing editor Monday 30 May 2016 FINANCIAL TIMES Comment It is the Aegean where the real threat lies europe Wolfgang Mỹnchau A t the start of the year, the EU was paralysed by the prospect of three simultaneous, potentially destructive threats: Grexit, Brexit and the refugee crisis Since then, one has receded but not disappeared; one remains undecided; and another is in danger of blowing up The receding crisis is Greece The agreement last week removed the risk of a Greek exit from the eurozone in the immediate future The deal characteristically leaves a number of open ends, which is troubling but not necessarily disastrous In a significant concession the International Monetary Fund accepted that an agreement on debt relief for Athens is postponed for another two years This suits Wolfgang Schọuble, German finance minister, because his party opposes debt relief But the deal also requires him and other European finance ministers to come clean before the end of this year on what debt relief measures they intend to propose The numbers will have to add up an unheard of event in eurozone crisis resolution politics There is enormous pressure on eurozone officials to deliver a set of figures that the IMF can accept The European finance ministers have also conceded that Greeces gross financing needs should not exceed 15 per cent of economic output The GFN is the IMFs preferred metric It is the money a country needs to fund interest rates and debt repayment The acceptance of a GFN ceiling is a big step forward as it is the mechanism that forces debt relief The problem with this latest accord is that the creditors might not keep their word The irony is that the Bundestag could approve Greek debt relief today but may no longer be able to so after the federal election next year The Alternative fỹr Deutschland, a populist anti-immigrant and anti-euro party, and the liberal Free Democrats, are both in favour of Greece leaving the bloc Neither party holds a seat in the Bundestag but both are expected next year to meet the threshold requirements for representation Add them to the sceptics among the governing Christian Democrats and there may be no majority for debt relief Mr Schọubles commitment this week to debt relief in 2018 is simply not credible The second of the potential shocks is Brexit Opinion polls suggest that the In its negotiations with Turkey over the refugee crisis Europe has lost the moral high ground chances of the Remain campaign have improved though it is not in the bag yet a lot can happen before the June 23 vote The European Commissions attacks on Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London and Brexit campaigner, or the suggestions that the EU would penalise the UK should it vote to leave are not helpful This stuff plays into the hands of the Leave campaign While the prospects for Britain in the EU may look marginally brighter than a month ago, Angela Merkels refugee deal with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey is going in the opposite direction At first it looked as though the German chancellor would extricate herself from the mess of her migration policy by co-opting Ankara into a refugee swap agreement The deal foresees that Turkey sends one legal refugee to the EU for each illegal migrant Turkish patrol boats pick up in the Aegean Sea The main tangible effect is not the swap but the signal that it sends to the refugees Fewer have since chosen the sea routes Mr Erdogan last week threatened not to ratify the agreement He rejects the EUs demand to modify his countrys antiterrorism laws, which allow him to persecute political dissidents, including journalists The EUs promise to allow Turks visafree travel to the borderless Schengen zone is officially conditional on the protection of civil rights in Turkey Mr Erdogan now insists that the EU liberalises the visa regime unconditionally or else he will repudiate the refugee deal The EU cannot accept this though watch out for a fudge Mr Erdogan certainly gives the impression he needs the deal less than Ms Merkel She visited him last week, and diplomatically avoided meeting Kurdish MPs, whose immunity had just been lifted by the Turkish parliament, or local journalists, who face criminal charges merely for doing their job If the deal collapses and Ankara relaxes the patrols, the refugee crisis will flare up again More important, the deal violates European values It can only work if the EU turns a blind eye to Turkish human rights violations Of all the arguments for leaving the EU, this one has some substance: in its negotiations with Turkey the EU has lost the moral high ground By the end of the year, we may find that the EU narrowly escaped all three Officials will congratulate each other But soon after, they will realise that the Greek debt crisis remains unresolved, that Britains new rules of engagement with the EU are hideously difficult, and that the only winner of the deal with Turkey is Ms Merkel, as always munchau@eurointelligence.com The mystery of weak productivity AMERICA Edward Luce L ook around you From your drone home delivery to that oncoming driverless car, change seems to be accelerating Warren Buffett, the great investor, promises that our childrens generation will be the luckiest crop in history Everywhere the world is speeding up except, that is, in the productivity numbers This year, for the first time in more than 30 years, US productivity growth will almost certainly turn negative following a decade of slowdown Yet our Fitbits seem to be telling us otherwise Which should we trust: the economic statistics or our own lying eyes? A lot hinges on the answer Productivity is the ultimate test of our ability to create wealth In the short term you can boost growth by working longer hours, for example, or importing more people Or you could lift the retirement age After a while these options lose steam Unless we become smarter at how we work, growth will start to exhaust itself too Other measures bear out the pessimists At just over per cent, US trend growth is barely half the level it was a generation ago As Paul Krugman put it: Productivity isnt everything, but in the long run it is almost everything. It is possible we are simply mismeasuring things Some economists believe the statistics fail to capture the utility of setting up a Facebook profile, for example, or downloading free information from Wikipedia The gig economy has yet to be properly valued Yet this argument cuts both ways Productivity is calculated by dividing the value of what we produce by how many hours we work data provided by employers But recent studies and common sense say our iPhones chain us to our employers even when we are at leisure We may thus be exaggerating productivity growth by undercounting how much we work The latter certainly fits with the experience of most of the US labour force It is no coincidence that since 2004 a majority of Americans began to tell pollsters they expected their children to be worse off the same year in which the internet-fuelled productivity leaps of the 1990s started to vanish Most Americans have suffered from indifferent or declining wages in the past 15 years or so A college graduates starting salary today is in real terms well below where it was in 2000 For the first time the next generation of US workers will be less educated than the previous, according to the OECD, which means worse is probably yet to come Last weeks US productivity report bears that out It is also possible we are on the cusp of gration and erecting trade barriers would subtract from US growth Likewise, it is hard to think of a bigger waste of resources than another budget-busting tax cut for the highest earners Yet his popularity is clearly fuelled by economic frustration One or two of Mr Trumps ideas, such as investing heavily in US infrastructure, would be helpful Indeed, at a time like this, it is all but a given and a rare point of agreement with Hillary Clinton Research shows that part of US economic growth is created in small numbers of hyper-connected urban hubs, such as Los Angeles and the corridor between Boston and New York Steps that would better link Americas urban boomlands to the large economic backwaters around them would help spread growth more widely Such projects would take time to bear fruit Yet it is worth sticking to that hunger games image for a moment Imagine that the US takes much the same course in the next 10 years as it has over the past decade That would mean a further corrosion of US infrastructure, continued relative decline in the quality of public education and atrophying middle workforce skills It would also hasten the breakaway of urban Americas most gilded enclaves, further enriching the educated elites It could possibly trigger a breakdown in democratic order If you think Mr Trumps rise is ominous, picture America after another decade like the past one Which brings me to the remedy: a universal basic income UBI has several plus points It draws support from all parts of the ideological spectrum: libertarian and socialist alike It would replace todays messy overlap of benefits and away with the humiliation of proving your eligibility to federal bureaucrats Most important of all, however, it would buy a measure of social peace Todays stagnation may be temporary or lasting We have no way of telling Common sense dictates we must act as though it is here to stay Everywhere the world is speeding up except, that is, in the productivity numbers a renaissance we just dont yet see it The economist, Robert Solow, quipped: You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics. That was in 1987 A few years later the computer age showed up in big numbers By the same token, we may be on the cusp of reaping the benefit of artificial intelligence, personalised medicine or take your pick This may better fit our own fevered imaginations Or it could be a chimera Until then, the US and most of the west are stuck with a deepening productivity crisis The slowdown has one manifest effect and a seductive remedy The first, an embittered backlash against business as usual, is already upon us Witness Donald Trumps ascent Most of his proposed cures for middle Americas anguish are worse than the disease Shutting down immi- edward.luce@ft.com Venezuela sets the stage for a chaotic and tragic exit OPINION Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez O h, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains Nicolỏs Maduros stint as president of Venezuela has had Shakespearean overtones from the start Ascending to power in 2013 he claimed to have conferred with the ghost of Hugo Chỏvez, insisting the cancer that killed his predecessor whom he calls father was a case of CIA murder most foul Our revolutionary Hamlet is now a tropical Macbeth Reviled by his subjects, increasingly isolated, he paces the presidential stage declaiming defiant soliloquies against offstage enemies While he plays dramatically for time, the country is collapsing The Interna- tional Monetary Fund predicts an per cent economic contraction for 2016; the inflation rate is the fastest in the world; electricity and running water are luxuries Food and medicine are scarce Anaemic oil prices and a heavy debt load leave scant foreign exchange for the import sector Mr Maduro is loath to reverse unsustainable fiscal and monetary policies he inherited from his mentor or to accept help from outside It becomes harder to tell if he is merely clinging to power at any cost or actively scuttling his country Having declared a state of emergency, Mr Maduro has been visiting island neighbours this week Ostensibly seeking to raise cash, he will also be hoping to shore up friendly votes in case the Organization of American States tries to take action against his repression at home While abroad he would well to monitor property prices: given the billions of petrodollars that have disappeared during his time in office, and the worsening conditions suffered by his people, a Venezuelan retirement may not be an option The trip shows how isolated the revolutionary heir to Chỏvez has become With the suspension of Dilma Rousseff from the Brazilian presidency, Mr Maduro has lost his last powerful regional ally Gone are the days when every leading South American country It is hard to tell whether Maduro is merely clinging to power at any cost or actively scuttling his country bar Colombia was leftwing and populist That Mr Maduro, like Ms Rousseff, will not finish his six-year term looks incontrovertible A regional propensity for economic boom-bust cycles and popular uprisings means most Latin constitutions include escape valves that function as de facto votes of no confi- dence Venezuela is no exception, and the opposition has begun a recall procedure, gathering many times the required number of signatures Yet, in contrast with Brazil, Venezuelas institutions lack the independence and the incentives for such constitutional processes to work their course In a manner reminiscent of a reality show, the constitution dictates that should the president hold on until January 10 next year he can in effect appoint his successor rather than holding a snap election that he would surely lose Since an opposition government would investigate and prosecute the graft of the revolutionary era, Chavismo bureaucrats and judges are working in lockstep to stymie the process until that date, as much to protect their own impunity as Mr Maduro If they are successful, the party might be able to buy itself a two-year stay of execution by sacrificing the figurehead Yet in walking a fine line provoking sufficient destabilisation to justify delays in the recall procedure but not enough to provoke the masses or the military into outright overthrow the regime is playing a dangerous game A majority of Venezuelans want Mr Maduro to leave office and popular unrest shows no sign of abating The stage is set for unprecedented social upheaval Cognisant of this Henrique Capriles, former opposition presidential candidate, told the military: The hour of truth is coming, to decide whether you are with the constitution or with Maduro. Mr Capriles will doubtless find sympathetic ears in the opaque Venezuelan armed forces, although many have as much cause to fear the end of revolutionary impunity as the bureaucrats The Lamentable Tragedie of Venezuela, now in its final act, runs long and seems increasingly likely to end in violence The writer teaches Latin American business at the Kellogg School of Management Flattery is the sincerest form of irritation in both pop and politics OPINION Ludovic Hunter-Tilney P erhaps it is a clever ploy to engage the attention of the 54 per cent of British students polled who were clueless about when the EU referendum is taking place But even if so, Matthew Healy, singer with chart-topping UK band The 1975, is having none of it He has accused the Electoral Commission of ripping off his groups artwork in its campaign to persuade Britons to vote on June 23 The commission, which oversees all UK elections, has devised a striking series of images to appear on billboards, television and leaflets showing a pink neon sign reading The 2016 EU referendum voting guide in a variety of unusual locations It denies the charge and claims the neon-sign idea was first used in the Scottish referendum last year, which is true But the imagery also looks uncannily similar to the promotional photos for The 1975s verbosely titled album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It Suspicions were heightened by the revelation that the commissions video advertising the leaflet was filmed by the director who made one of The 1975s videos Healy responded in the time-honoured fashion of the aggrieved rock star How you sue the Government?? he tweeted to his 610,000 followers As the Electoral Commission has nothing to with the government, the question was wrong But it was also illuminating Musicians have hypersensitive antennae for allegations of imitation Copying is rife in pop With hundreds of thousands of songs released each year there were almost 80,000 new albums in the US alone in 2011 it grows harder not to echo at some level a previous piece of music The 1975s work is full of such echoes, mostly generic in feel, alluding to the sound of 1980s pop But they can sometimes be more exact Their track Love Me seems very clearly related to David Bowies Fame However infuriating the mimicry, politicians unlike music stars have to suck it up Copyright laws are meant to distinguish between tribute and plagiarism That has grown harder, however Last years US court decision awarding the estate of soul singer Marvin Gaye $7.4m (reduced to $5.3m) in a copyright infringement case against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, makers of the worldwide 2013 hit, Blurred Lines, narrowed the degree of similarity permitted between one song and another Caveat imitator is the rule in pop Copying is rife in politics, too Politicians routinely pilfer ideas from their opponents, as with George Osborne, UK chancellor of the exchequer, rebranding the UK minimum wage, first introduced by a Labour government, as a National Living Wage Bernie Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate, joked about a campaign advert that he thought was his own only to discover it was actually his rival, Hillary Clinton, parroting him However infuriating the mimicry, politicians have to suck it up Policies are not copyrightable Stricter conditions apply to elections Since the 1990s, when a rash of Literal Democrats and Labor candidates infested ballot papers, UK parties have had to be registered with the Electoral Commission However, as anyone will know who has faced a choice between the Socialist Alliance and Socialist Alternative parties in the voting booth, scope for confusion remains The spat between The 1975 and the Electoral Commission reveals a clash of cultures Like the students unaware of the EU referendum date, frontman Healy displays a woeful lack of political literacy You cant imbue my identity as an artist with something as divisive as The @eureferendum, he tweeted, apparently blind to the irony that his group shares its name with the year when UK held a referendum on continued membership of the European Economic Community Meanwhile the Electoral Commission, which should be above such things, appears to have fallen prey to the political classs habit of copyism In pop music, unlike in politics, imitation is not flattery it is actionable The writer is the FTs pop critic 10 FINANCIAL TIMES Monday 30 May 2016 BUSINESS EDUCATION A change of direction to align more with business A passionate Open University advocate seeks to turn the institutions fortunes round, reports Gonzalo Viủa need for quality higher education is staggering For instance, with 26m higher education places in India, the country needs another 14m, according to a British Council report In China, the higher education sector has tripled in size since 1997 The world cannot build enough universities, says Mr Hill, arguing that a shift to online and distance learning must follow The Open University has students registered from 142 countries and is looking to expand relations with large multinationals to sponsor employees A third area of growth from overseas is coming from partnerships with universities that want to develop online teaching One example is the Arab Open University, which operates from several capitals in the Middle East, and which S teve Hill was an assistant bank manager for NatWest in the UK, when he was told by his employer that he would need to have a degree to become a branch manager With only a few qualifications from school, NatWest sponsored his studies, taking his career from a local branch to the City of London Two Open University degrees later and a third soon to be completed, Mr Hill now works as the universitys director of external engagement, liaising with businesses and running efforts to expand overseas At least that is the case by day At night, he continues his university studies He is working on a module that he hopes will help him complete a degree in philosophy, politics and economics He has studied almost 20 Open University courses and countless Moocs (massive open online courses) I started studying with the OU in 1993 and I am still studying today, says Mr Hill Im studying the Naked Soldier [dilemma] So, if someone is wearing a uniform in war I can shoot that individual But if I look through my rifle sights and I see a combatant not in uniform, they have the gun at the side of the tin bath and theyre having a bath in the field, can I shoot them? Asked what day-to-day application such ethical reasoning might have at the universitys modernist campus in Milton Keynes, 55 miles north of London, he replies: I just think it makes you think about a complex situation and look at it in different ways And Ive run out of business leadership courses to study. It is just as well that Mr Hill is such a passionate believer in the product because a large part of his job is to turn round the universitys fortunes The organisation has been the victim of a squeeze that began in 2011 as a series of changes in how universities are funded Revenue from corporate employer relationships is much more important to us today than in 2010 Life-long learner: Steve Hill, the director of external engagement, is overseeing the universitys expansion abroad John Robertson Business programmes Courses offer sector focus About 2,400 employers sponsor Open University students and 86 of the FTSE 100 have staff on its programmes Such relationships create sector-specific courses, such as the one generated by a partnership between the university, the National Health Service and consultancy Hay Group to tailor the curriculum for health service professionals Steve Hill says they contextualised it for a clinical environment The NHS puts more than 3,000 staff through the programme each year Similarly, BT and IBM have put members of their leadership teams through the tailored MBA programmes, where they can work in groups and can then have a more open discussion about issues that relate to that employer With the Football League Trust, the university created an undergraduate course in business management in sport and football Younger students are not easily enticed by management courses but as you put a football wrapper around it, it becomes much more interesting, Mr Hill says While the shift towards charging students Ê9,000 a year for tuition has been a boon for most universities, it has hit the Open University hard Mr Hill says that it has lost many of those over 40 who were studying as a hobby As student numbers declined to 174,000 last year from more than 250,000 in 2011, income fell to Ê404m in 2014 from Ê471m in 2011, and only started to recover last year to reach Ê422m The university was founded in 1969 to provide degree-level learning to people who had not had the opportunity to attend traditional campus universities While it has continued to operate under the same open admissions policy 40 per cent of students have no more than one A-level and a fifth live in Britains most deprived areas Mr Hill has been charged with making it more relevant to the needs of businesses and with international expansion The result is that revenues from both those sources account for about 10 per cent of the universitys annual turnover and will continue to show double-digit growth in the years ahead, he predicts The revenue that we generate from our corporate employer relationships is much more important to us today than it was in 2010. If working directly with employers to tailor courses to their needs has been a lifesaver for the Open University, it is the possibilities for overseas expansion that look set to secure its future The has turned to the British institution to develop its curriculum and give access to millions of women previously excluded from higher education For all the strengths of the Open University and British education, Mr Hill says that the UK can learn much from abroad He cites the concept of learning banks or life-long learning accounts pioneered by the Open University in Shanghai for more than 800,000 students Some of the systems Ive seen in China have just completely blown my mind, he says Im looking at credits that an individual has accumulated over 30 years and its all there in one place How interesting would that be as an employer, if you could then see someones dedication and focus to their own self-development?

All this change means the organic growth of the industry will start to slow Before the financial crisis, the fund industry grew quickly, with assets under management increasing more than per cent a year But this has now slowed to per cent and is expected to fall even further in the run-up to 2020, according to 2015 research by Casey Quirk, the consultancy If asset managers are to grow, they will have to take business from other asset managers, Ms Seitz says At the same time, passive products will take assets from active managers People need to save more, they are getting old, and they need to invest in a lower-return environment All of these things add up to a more mature asset management industry rather than one that has experienced organic growth pretty consistently over time, she adds Ms Seitz, who was a portfolio manager for 23 years, says this maturing asset management industry will look different, and not just in terms of products and technology She argues that its workforce needs to become more diverse, shifting away from its reputation as a pale and male industry Only 10 per cent of mutual fund managers in the US are women, according to the Women in Fund Management report William Blair has five named female portfolio managers, representing 37 per cent of its assets under management Ms Seitz, who admits she faced her fair share of impediments related to her gender along the way, says diverse teams deliver better solutions Under a new policy put in place under Ms Seitzs watch, diverse candidates typically women and ethnic minorities should make up half of the individuals interviewed for a job at the asset manager If we interview 10 people, five need to be diverse and the other five can be the majority of the industry, which is white men, she says The policy means the hiring process takes longer, but Ms Seitz says it should be worth it in the longer term There are a lot of talented people out there We need to make [the workforce] a bit more balanced than we have historically, she says She is less forthcoming about how the money management arm of Chicago-based William Blair, a privately held financial services company, will deal with the other changes that are afoot for the industry One thing that is clear is that she wants to grow the asset managers retail business This area only accounts for 15 per cent of its assets There are no plans, however, to move into robo-advice This area of the retail fund industry, where online services provide automated investment advice, is expected to grow strongly The 50-year-old, who has presided over William Blairs investment management arm at a time when its assets grew fivefold, also has no interest in launching passive products, which have proved popular with investors The assets under management in passive mutual funds have grown 230 per cent since 2007, according to Morningstar, the data provider But the Indiana University graduate, who has been in charge of William Blair Investment Management for 15 years, says she is excited by the changes ahead These changes are happening very quickly The industry will need to continue to adapt but I think that is a good thing, she says There are so many things that we with a herd mentality that I think disrupting that pattern will lead to a lot of breakthrough innovations both in transforming business models as well as in transforming the types of strategies we offer to clients.

Guillaume Prache, managing director of Better Finance, the investor campaign group, adds that the practice of charging entry fees is not just a UK phenomenon He says: Most retail funds [in Europe] still include entry fees This practice is very widespread, especially with unaware and elderly invesperformance fees In the European market, these one-off charges can be as much as 10 per cent of an initial investment Although Indian fund managers complained in 2009 that the ban on entry fees would distort competition in the market and hurt their businesses, consumer groups welcomed the move for pushing down costs for investors Guillaume Prache, managing director of Better Finance, the investor rights group, believes it is unlikely that any European regulator will take similar action But he is hopeful that forthcoming European rules governing mutual funds, known as Priips, will force asset managers to be transparent about the impact of entry fees on investment performance, from 2017 tors and savers Average entry charges in France on unit-linked products [a form of retail fund] were 2.6 per cent in 2015 This is very detrimental to retail investment returns, especially in a low-yield environment Worse, the impact [of these initial charges] on returns is not disclosed to retail investors in the mandatory past-performance disclosures We are not aware of any EU national regulator having banned or even restricted fund entry fees. Most of the fund companies contacted for this piece gave confusing or conflicting answers when asked why they still apply initial charges, and whether they would consider scrapping them Artemis, which publicly stated it had abolished entry charges in 2014, still lists the charge on its fund documents A spokesperson for the company says it did not want to pay to reproduce the documents, so in practice it waives the charge for any investors coming directly to the company A spokesperson for Jupiter says that the initial charge is primarily a legacy product feature and that the company would not rule out scrapping the charge voluntarily She adds: While [we] continue to allow for this charge to be taken, in practice it is generally not applied Any move to ban initial fees would have a minimal impact [on the company], given it is rarely applied.

Others suggest the onus is on individuals to more research to avoid paying such a fee, by purchasing a fund through a platform or an adviser A wealth management executive, speaking on condition of anonymity, says: As a private client, you would be absolutely mad to pay an initial charge. Standard Life Investments says it applies an initial charge to a number of funds in order to discourage retail investors from buying them The funds in question have either reached their capacity limit in terms of assets, or are primarily aimed at institutional investors Jacqueline Lowe, head of UK wholesale business at the Ê253bn asset manager, says: We are not seeking to put the charge in to get revenue from customers It is there to persuade investors not to invest in these funds What the regulators will find is that while it looks like a lot of people have initial charges, not many people are actually applying them There will be a lot less revenue there than they suspect. She acknowledges, however, that investor documents across the indus- try are misleading Many state the right to apply an initial charge, but in practice waive this fee There is a difficulty The [investor documents] make it look like you are imposing the initial charge even if you are not It is a bit of an awkward message I think it is right that investors know there is a potential for that to be charged to them. She believes fund managers should continue to have the right to apply the charge, but only as a tool to discourage further investment Making additional money out of investors coming directly to a company is a practice Standard Life dropped years ago, she says It was the right thing to do. Mr Mairs believes there is no reasontouseentryfees,evenasa deterrent to new investors Deterring investors coming in [toafundwithcapacityissues]is a good idea But there are probablybetterwaysofdoingthatthan chargingthemmore.Simplystop takingnewmoney He also doubts whether companies such as Jupiter will voluntarily stop applying these fees, given how profitable they are The only solution, he believes, is for the regulator to intervene Commercially for those [fund companies] with a big revenue source from these kinds of fees, it will be hard for them to move away from them All companies will take a long time to shift to doing the right thing if they can get away with it. Dan Brocklebank, a fund manager at Orbis, which is attempting to shake up the investment industry with an innovative fee structure, agrees The industry was set up to be self-serving The classic example of that is charging people simply for the pleasure of being in a fund This is not something we are comfortable with. | FTfm FINANCIAL TIMES Monday 30 May 2016 OPINION Curing death will create a vast pensions crisis COMMENT Steve Johnson P ension trustees reading this column may wish to look away now Ditto executives of insurance companies with annuity arms, shareholders of companies with legacy final-salary pension schemes and municipal and finance ministry officials worldwide Everyone knows life expectancy globally is not only rising but rising at a rate unprecedented in human history It is one of humanitys great success stories, albeit one that seems to be curiously under-appreciated by the population at large But, if a recent report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch is to be believed, you aint seen nothing yet The document, The Silver Economy Global Ageing Primer, came up with the startling suggestion that life expectancies of 300-400 years or even an infinite extension of life expectancy may be within reach in our lifetimes It quotes Aubrey de Grey, a gerontologist and co-founder of the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence Foundation, who claims that a world free of age-related disease is possible Mr de Grey is not alone Calico, a biotechnology company launched by Google, the technology group, in 2013, has the goal of curing death Many people will, of course, find these claims outlandish and dismiss them as the ramblings of overimaginative minds The thing is, even if there is just a grain of truth to them, the consequences could be profound BofA comes up with another startling claim: in North America, at least, a one-year increase in longevity could more than double the amount of aggregate pension underfunding Given that the deficit in US public pension funds alone has been estimated at $3.4bn by the Hoover Institution, a think-tank at Stanford University, that could get a little messy BofA estimates that, worldwide, annuity and pension-related longevity risk exposure is already a worrying $15tn-$25tn, about three months worth of global gross domestic product We should, of course, be celebrat- ing the dramatic rises in longevity already seen The UN forecasts global average life expectancy, just 48 years as recently as 1950, to rise to 77.1 years by the middle of this century But that does not mean we should ignore the downsides of this revolution BofA presents a picture of workers In North America, a oneyear increase in longevity could more than double the amount of aggregate pension underfunding readying for their extended retirements by squirrelling away everlarger sums of money It quotes figures from PwC, the professional services firm, suggesting that global pension assets will rise from $33.9tn in 2012 to $56.5bn by 2020 However, against a backdrop of static real median wages in the developed world; decent wage growth, but from a very low base, in most emerging countries; and the likelihood of extremely low interest rates for some time to come, it seems implausible that the average worker (or their government on their behalf) will be able to save enough to generate adequate income for a lengthy retirement Higher retirement ages thereby keeping the ratio of years in work to years in retirement constant are the obvious answer, particularly considering that the rise in life expectancy is being pretty much mirrored by a rise in the years of healthy life the typical person can expect While more forward-looking governments have already started along this path, the desperation of entrenched, vested interests to protect their rights at the expense of others can currently be seen in the UK The campaign by the so-called Women Against State Pension Inequality lobby group are arguing against longstanding plans to bring womens state pension age (60 until 2010) in line with that of men (65) and then raise both to 66 by 2020 To be fair, some are only complaining about the speed of change and a perception that it was not well telegraphed, but others are opposed to any change at all Be prepared for more such battles worldwide They will be a defining feature of our age Steve Johnson is deputy editor of the FTs EM Squared Something is not quite right in the market for physical oil The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable Attributed to Philip Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield, 1694-1773 Something is not quite right in the market for what is called physical oil, the stuff stored above ground or aboard ships Given the structure of the oil price curve, which is pretty flat over the next year, it should not make sense for the commodities investor to take a hedged position in physical oil, particularly oil held in floating storage on ships Last week there was a 5.1m barrel (MMbbl) reported decline in oil stored in onshore terminals in the US, which led to prices popping up over the $50 mark This was commonly attributed to the delayed effect of the wildfires in the Canadian oil sands region Almost everywhere else in the world, though, there was lot of oil being pumped into tankers That is being done at a damnable expense to producers or speculators equity Contrary to election-year rhetoric, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and the other big banks are not eager to finance oil cash and carries That is, they are not inclined to use up their balance sheets to earn thin profits on secured commodities trades As one oil trader told me last week: The marketisnotrespectingfundamentals. By fundamentals he means that a professional is not supposed to take a position on the future direction of the overall market, but to seek out time and location arbitrages that can be closed without taking on excessive risk If a trading house is giddy with excitement it might take on some basis risk between different grades of a commodity, but betting on a general price rise or fall not done Still, there is a momentary pleasure to be had by the speculator in gloating over the paper (or electronic) profits from owning oil since the price levels bottomed out in late January and early February In contrast to the physical-oil speculators apparent surrender to gambling madness, the producers capital expenditure is being cut and squeezed as a rational model would suggest Dollar-denominated junk debt issuance is down to just $7.8bn in the year to date, all of it coming from two national oil companies, Petrobras in Brazil and YPF in Argentina And US oil production is on an accelerating downward slope as producing fields deplete faster than new wells are drilled and completed Just as official statistics underestimated the rise in production as the unconventional oil boom played out, so the Energy Information Administration (EIA) is now revising its estimates of future production downward Bob Brackett, a geologist and senior analyst at Bernstein, the asset manager, has had a good record in estimating US oil production declines this year, which he and his team now put at 690,000 barrels a day (b/d), compared with an EIA estimate of about 500,000 The wildfires in the Canadian oil sands region also gave some cause for optimism among the physical speculators Now, though, it seems the damage will be largely limited to workers housing, which, while individually tragic, can be overcome with quickly manufactured units The market is also waiting for the rest of the Venezuelan script to play out The next big drop in exports, of perhaps 300,000b/d, is likely to come from the countrys inability to pay for In contrast to the physical-oil speculators apparent surrender to gambling madness, the producers capital expenditure is being cut and squeezed the imports of light crude needed to dilute its heavy-oil production All these supply disruptions are not enough to create a true panic and liquidation phase needed to lay the foundation for a really out of control bull market in oil For that, and for my own guess of a $70 per barrel price within the next year to come true, we need to have a short-term oil price decline pretty soon There are two groups who think they can win at this game in the medium term First, there are the managements of national oil companies, who are always in a struggle with other bureaucrats They have a hard time getting funds appropriated now, but can easily lend themselves the above-ground excess production The other group is private investors who are building yet more onshore storagetanks.Theywanttomovetheir oilinfloatingstoragetopointscloserto where the refiners can take delivery They think they are location arbitrageursintheguiseofspeculators My own view is that this reflects both the likelihood of a commodities boom over the next year and a half, coupled with a profoundly pessimistic longer-term outlook Those oil tanks are being built for resale, not for long-term use FTfm | FINANCIAL TIMES Monday 30 May 2016 OPINION Emerging markets should shift from dollars into gold THE LAST WORD John Plender M anagers of the worlds $10tn or so foreign exchange reserves are in a bind More and more of the global government bond market shows a negative yield If held to maturity, such bonds will inflict a certain loss Those bonds that offer a positive yield are horribly overvalued by historic standards If held to maturity, they will show a profit But the capital value of these so-called safe assets is vulnerable to a spike in yields, which is bad news if central banks need to liquidate them to cope with a currency crisis or fiscal disaster A further problem is that central banks reserve portfolios tend to be relatively undiversified Only US Treasuries offer the depth of liquidity that is essential for reserves to perform their safety-net function in a crisis Nearly two-thirds of global reserves are invested in dollar-de- nominated assets How interesting, then, that Kenneth Rogoff, the Harvard economist, has been arguing that emerging markets should shift a chunk of their official reserves away from dollars into gold.* His reasoning is that emerging markets as a group are competing for rich-country bonds, which is driving the interest rates they receive exceptionally low At the same time, richcountry governments are so heavily indebted they cannot increase the supply of IOUs significantly So bond prices cannot be expected to appreciate much further Gold, despite being in close-to fixed supply, does not suffer from this problem, because there is no upper limit on its price Mr Rogoff also believes a case can be made that gold is an extremely lowrisk asset with average real returns comparable to very short-term debt Emerging markets are, in fact, already beginning to take the message Since 2010, central banks have been net buyers of gold This reflects both a slowdown in sales by European central banks which, incidentally, suggests a striking lack of confidence in their own monetary policies and large purchases by emerging markets From a systemic point of view, this Is gold an extremely low-risk asset? is good news It can help mitigate the squeeze arising from the global shortage of safe assets The emerging markets diversification problem should lessen, because gold has a strong negative correlation with the dollar And the appreciation of the gold price that would result from EM buying would also benefit many advanced countries because developed-world central-bank gold holdings are high The US keeps nearly 75 per cent of its reserves in gold, while the proportion for Germany, France and Italy is 75 % Percentage of the USs reserves kept in gold 2.2 % Percentage of Chinas reserves kept in gold Dario Pignatelli/Bloomberg between 60 and 70 per cent By contrast, only 2.2 per cent of Chinas reserves are in gold, while the comparable figure for India is 6.3 per cent For individual emerging markets, the case is anything but cut and dried, not least because Mr Rogoffs suggestion that gold is an extremely low-risk asset is highly contentious The yellow metal may satisfy central banks requirement for liquidity, but it yields no dividends or interest It is thus an entirely speculative asset and highly volatile as a consequence Its dominant position in the portfolios of developed-world central banks is essentially a hangover from the time of the Bretton Woods semi-fixed exchange rate system that came to an end in 1971 The capriciousness of gold is evident if you look at what happened to anyone who bought at the peak of the 1971-81 bull market in the metal Over the next 20 years they saw a loss on their investment of 80 per cent in real terms It can be a losing proposition over much longer periods too Market strategist Dylan Grice, while at Sociộtộ Gộnộrale, calculated that a 15th-century gold bug who stored all his wealth in bullion, bequeathed it to his children and required them to the same would have guaranteed his lineage a near-90 per cent decline in real wealth over the next 500 years This does not invalidate the case for gold in official reserves The diversification benefit is real and the opportunity cost of holding a non-income bearing asset has never been lower in the light of negative interest rates in a growing number of economies And the fact that safe assets have become so unsafe means that the risk of holding gold relative to the risk in bonds is probably less than at any time in history It is important, though, that emerging markets not raise their bullion holdings to developed-world levels, because their greater vulnerability to crises makes them less able to cope with volatility Among the lessons here are that safe assets are a figment of the academic economists imagination and gold has been a bubble for millennia That said, for ordinary investors, bullion can be a better bet than government IOUs in a period of monetary dislocation In small doses, it makes for useful portfolio insurance John Plender is a columnist at the FT * Emerging Markets Should Go for the Gold, Project Syndicate Few people doubt that chief executive pay is out of control VIEWPOINT David Pitt-Watson F ew people doubt that the pay of chief executives is out of control But if it is to be fixed, we first need to ask ourselves how we got into this situation After all, as many chief executives note, they not determine their own pay; that is done by a remuneration committee comprised only of independent directors As an additional protection,theremunerationpackage has to be approved by a shareholder vote Those shareholders, most of whom are big institutional investors, should be loyal to the millions of peoplewhosesavingsthey look after Yet, despite all the apparent checks and balances, these same savers view chief executive pay as emblematic of a system that is unaccountable and out of control How could this have happened? Indeed, how could so many seemingly crazy things be going on in our financial markets? Millions of people save by placing their money with investment institutions who, in turn, often buy company shares on their behalf Typically, they need a long-term return from profitable companies built to last They might expect their money to be invested, as Warren Buffett, the worlds most high-profile investor, would advocate, in outstanding businesses with outstanding managements Note that Mr Buffett went on to say that his favourite holding period is forever But that is not what is happening Try googling buy and hold is dead and you will find 100,000 references, books, blogs and videos, all noting the dramatic fall in the time shares are held It is as if investment institu- tions, which should be serving longterm investors, had developed some sort of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, focusing only on buying and selling, not on being good owners of companies What has this got to with executive pay? Quite a lot Policymakers responded to the problem of out-ofcontrol executive pay by asking these same investment institutions to take over responsibility for policing it This began in 2002 at the time investors had rightly been making a lot of noise about corporate pay packages that rewarded failure, such as fiveyear contracts that would pay out in full if the chief executive were fired But what was to replace these contracts? The solution was bonuses Of course, the finance industry had long nurtured its own bonus culture, so when faced with the question of how to reward corporate chief executives, investment houses felt comfortable with the simple view that bonuses were the answer, often linked to the share price Chief executive pay went through the roof Though some abuses disappeared, chief executives kept their big salaries and pensions and were then awarded a short- and a longterm bonus that can now be five or 10 times their salary Employers would [not] appoint someone who needed to be bribed to their job well It is as if we suddenly forgot that there is an institution called employment, where a company and its employee commit to one another In that time-tested relationship the expectation, particularly for professional employment, is that you the job to the best of your ability as a matter of honour Indeed, few employers would appoint someone who needed to be bribed to their job well There is growing evidence that despite the apparent long-term nature of director bonuses, ADHD has entered the boardroom to such a degree that in order to please the share traders, chief executives will, according to McKinsey, the consultancy, cancel productive research and development in order to meet quarterly earnings targets Maybe we need to realise that for a complex task like running a big company, chief executives should be paid like other professional employees: with a salary And here is a radical thought Maybe the challenge of rooting out ADHD in corporations has to start with doing the same at investing institutions The illnesses may be inextricably linked David Pitt-Watson is an executive fellow at London Business School His book, What They Do With Your Money: How the Financial System Fails Us and How to Fix It, is co-authored with Stephen Davis and Jon Lukomnik 10 | FTfm FINANCIAL TIMES Monday 30 May 2016 NEWS The new BlackRock fund will track a Barclays index based on pools of mortgages that are combined or securitised into tradeable bonds Frederic J Brown/AFP/Getty Images BlackRock mortgage ETF causes concern INVESTMENT STRATEGY New European product will invest in US mortgage-backed securities CHRIS FLOOD BlackRock, the worlds largest asset manage, has launched the first European-listed exchange traded fund that invests in US mortgage-backed securities The development will add to concerns among regulators about the roleETFsplay infinancialmarkets The iShares ETF, which will buy mortgage-backed securities based on a Barclays index, comes as the Financial Conduct Authority is examining whether asset managers are properly informing investors about the inherent risks of some funds US regulators are also stepping up their scrutiny of ETFs following several episodes of unusual market volatility Mick McAteer, co-founder of The Financial Inclusion Centre, a thinktank, and a former board member of the UK financial regulator, has concerns over the BlackRock ETF He believes asset managers need to go the extra mile to ensure that investors understand the risks of new funds properly The Financial Conduct Authority is very hot on product governance but this is not a message asset managers are taking to heart Too few are stress testing consumers understanding of products before a launch to make sure they fully understand the risks they face, he says The new BlackRock fund, which tracks the Barclays index based on pools of mortgages that are combined or securitised into tradeable bonds, comes as much of the highest-rated government debt in Europe is in negative-yielding territory Many highly complex and opaque securitised products linked to the US mortgage market collapsed during the financial crisis, inflicting billions of dollars of losses on investors One manager of an ETF, who did not wish to be named, says he was surprised by the European launch Investors have long memories and remember that mortgage-backed securities blew up in the crisis This is still perceived as a somewhat tainted asset class, which explains why US-listed ETFs linked to mortgage-backed securities have not gathered assets in the same way as ETFs have in the high-yield bond market, he says Matthew Tucker, a fixed-income strategist at BlackRock, says the new ETF is suitable for retail investors as it avoids the low-quality subprime mortgages that exploded in 2007 and 2008 He says the ETF uses AAA-rated bonds issued by three US government backed agencies that provide housing finance: Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the US govern- Regulatory review History of ETFs not without turbulence US regulators are currently carrying out a wide-ranging review of the ETF industry, which attracted record investor inflows of $372bn last year Mary Jo White, the chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (pictured), said in a speech this month that the history of ETFs was not without some turbulence, after highlighting their involvement in several episodes of unusual market volatility that have unsettled regulators The trading of numerous ETFs was badly interrupted on August 24, one of the wildest days in US stock market history The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 1,100 points shortly after opening and then rebounded by almost 600 ment in September 2008 to prevent a collapse of the US property market Together the three agencies have issued $4.7tn in mortgage-backed securities, making this the second most liquid US bond market after Treasuries points just minutes later ETFs regularly account for a quarter to a third of daily US equity trading volumes Regulators fear that the structure of ETFs could worsen market shocks when they happen ETF managers argue that the fault lies with the fragmented nature of the US stock market, where dealing activities are spread across multiple trading venues and dark pools Ms White said the SEC was looking closely at the linkages between the prices of ETF shares and their underlying portfolio holdings, and the impact on investors when these links broke down The SEC is also looking at the role of large institutional investors and market makers in ETF trading and their relationship to overall market liquidity Just eight US-listed ETFs with combined assets of $10.6bn offer exposure to the US mortgage-backed securities market BlackRock runs the largest fund, known as MBB, which has delivered annualised total returns of 4.2 per cent since its launch in 2007 Mr Tucker says: MBB has performed well in previous periods of market stress It returned 7.7 per cent in 2008 when there was considerable volatility across bond markets. The European-listed ETF, which carries a 28 basis point total annual expense ratio, offers a yield of around 2.1 per cent Peter Sleep, a senior portfolio manager at 7IM, the UK wealth manager, says: UK wealth managers will remember that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ran into trouble in the financial crisis, but there is now an implicit government guarantee backing their bonds However, if there is another period of extreme stress, then investors will head for the safety of US Treasuries, as it is not clear that the same safety margin will exist with mortgage-backed securities.
