Just under a quarter of Germans want to pull a pensioner abroad -. On prefer to Spain. This, the study found, for which GfK surveyed 1498 citizens between 14 and 64 years.

The ten most popular countries for a residence abroad during the annuity accordingly:

1. Spain 39.9 percent
. 2 France 11.3 percent
. 3 USA 10.7 percent
. 4 Switzerland 10.4 percent
. 5 Austria 7.4 percent
. 6 Thailand 7.3 percent
. 7 Italy 4.6 percent
. 8 UK 4.1 percent
. 9 Turkey 3.3 percent
10th Greece 1.3 percent

Prepare to emigrate in retirement abroad?

The reality is different

These figures differ markedly from those of German pensioners who already live abroad. 168,000 German currently relate old-age or disability pensions outside the Federal territory, reported the “doublet” and relies on information from the German Pension Fund. Of them would almost 22,000 – and therefore the most – live in Switzerland. This was followed by the USA with 20,962, Austria with 15,773 and Spain with 15,050 pensioners from Germany

The general trend to emigrate in old age, however, is a fact. The number of German nationals in the home for retirement, refer disability pension, has risen by less than two percent, according to German Pension Insurance from 2008 to 2014. The number of Germans who the remuneration can be remitted abroad, has grown on the other hand in the same period by 18 percent.

The craze for emigration is however more pronounced in younger people than in people who are in fact close to retirement: Of the 30 to 39 almost every third wants olds, according to the GfK survey spend their retirement abroad. Of the 60- to 64-year-olds, however, is only one in eight

There is also in the target selection clear differences between the sexes. Men prefer France and Switzerland, and to a lesser extent Thailand. Whereas women want rather to Austria, in the USA and Italy. Only Spain is popular with both men and women.

Beautiful new electric car world: Volvo expects competition from IT industry – n-tv.de NEWS


 Economy

 

 Saturday, 22 August 2015

 
 
 

 
 Want Apple and Google are really carmaker? No question moves the industry probably longer. Volvo CEO Samuelsson takes the tech corporations as competitors seriously, but calmed down with a simple wisdom.

 

 
 

Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson is before Apple and Google as a new competitor for automakers on guard. “I think we should not underestimate that,” he said in an interview with the financial news agency dpa-AFX. Google has already developed a self-propelled car, according to media reports the iPhone maker Apple is working on its own electric car. In the car industry, it is debatable whether the two US companies want to make the established automakers real competition, or rather pushing into business with data about the car and its driver.

Samuelsson had Volvo earlier this year in relation to the “Car Week” itself brought into the conversation for a possible collaboration with Apple. If Apple zukäme at Volvo, he had said that Sweden would certainly think about it. But this it has not come: “We have no concrete dialogue,” Samuelsson made clear now. He pointed instead on our own experiments with self-driving cars.



“It’s not as easy to build cars”

 For autonomous driving Volvo has also map service Here at a glance. The three German car manufacturers Audi, BMW and Daimler have recently announced its acquisition of Nokia. “Of course we need reliable card information, especially for self-propelled vehicles,” Samuelsson said. Here is an alternative here, but Volvo wanted to preserve flexibility. To automatically exchange information about congestion or parking, for example, cars About the map service. BMW, Daimler and VW group want to become so also independent of Google and Apple, according to the industry

Also Volvo observed that US corporations exactly. “When serious interest in the car market show, of course you should be prepared to see them as competitors, “Samuelsson said. Behind Google and Apple put a lot of money. Volvo will pursue the ambitions, greater fear of the tech companies they had not. “It’s not so easy to build cars,” Samuelsson said.



Plug-in hybrids are not the end

With new drive systems of Volvo CEO sees his company on the right path. The company, which belongs to the Chinese carmaker Geely since 2010, currently operates primarily on so-called plug-in hybrids, which refueled with fuel, but can also be recharged with electricity. When the battery is empty, takes over the engine. Almost all the major manufacturers have such cars on offer.

From the electric C30, the only previous all-electric Volvo, only 250 units were built. “I would imagine that we are perhaps a little more open to a completely electric vehicle today”, the Volvo chief said now. It depends heavily on the development of battery technology. “I think you need a range of the order 400 or 500 kilometers to a real alternative to have,” Samuelsson said. In addition, charging times would be shortened: “One can not accept coffee break of five or six hours, the need to go much faster..” The low capacity of batteries is one of the biggest problems for electric cars. Long stretches of motorway are hardly possible without recharging, and the network of charging stations is still very thin. In the auto industry Samuelsson nevertheless expected but changes: “I think we will see a shift. More batteries and smaller internal combustion engines”

Also, Volvo could venture a new attempt to electromobility, Samuelsson but can not yet be look at the cards. When asked whether there were plans for an e-version of the SUV flagship XC90, Volvo said the boss only: “might not be entirely wrong.”

Greece: “Tsipras had to call new elections” – Berliner Morgenpost

 
 
Sat, 08.22.2015, 00.22 clock

Greece controls again on parliamentary elections, less than ten months after the last election, a new government to be elected in September. The people in Greece see the new political events with mixed feelings. We asked. One man said: “We live with the hope of a better future. So far no politician has ever redeemed his promise “Another said:”. The elections were unavoidable due to the split within Syriza. But maybe that’s a good opportunity to clean up the political landscape. Under these circumstances, the ruling party could their obligations to funders not fulfill. “And a woman’s view. “Syriza did not have enough power to push through certain key laws in parliament, and it was difficult for Tsipras to govern the country. He had to rely on the rebels within his own party or opposition parties, and so he had no choice but to set new elections “Euro news reporter Kostas Tsellos says:”. For the third time in the past nine months comes to choose Greece. Alexis Tsipras promised better days, but the split in the Syriza party is now leading to new political uncertainty. Many believe that the economy is now again gets into a dead end “

Elections: How Alexis Tsipras can strengthen the political center – THE WORLD

yanking is entered: Greece will again select only half a year after the overwhelming electoral victory of the radical left Syriza government. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has resigned because of the rebellion in his party, thus forcing new elections, if no one else can form a government. And now becoming apparent: No one will be able

Allen Surveys should Syriza win again.. While the population does not agree with all the decisions of the government. But it is the fidelity of a desperate society that Tsipras has elected last fighter against the impending doom.

Tsipras wants its loyal voters demand from a new mandate before the people feel the new cuts painfully. And he wants to show his political opponents that he is elected – although he expects of hardship. With this strategy, he had already urged in January to early elections, which earned him the first time the power. In July came the referendum, in which he called the Greeks, the reject what he himself accepted: a new savings and rescue program for Greece. This time the opponent is his own party.

Because many left ideologues in the party were not capable of governing had, Tsipras get rid of sooner or later. Or fail. They had become within the party to an embarrassingly strong opponent of the only possible and realistic course. Tsipras ruled de facto by using the bourgeois opposition against their own internal party zealots.

However, the long term to be successful, it needs to inherit the legacy of Pasok. The traditional social democratic party perished on the crisis, but only a classic social democratic party can appeal to both the concerns of the impoverished citizens as well as the constraints of a realistic economic policy credible. This vacuum must fill Syriza, if the party wants to survive politically. You must be radically different from an association leftist groups to a pragmatic People’s Party.

Syriza will no longer be the home left revolutionaries of all shades so after this election. They will be neither radical nor particularly left. But a Tsipras party that follows a pragmatism forced guide.

was the strength of the Old Left a remnant of those times when Syriza was an insignificant debating club : The wirrsten speakers had the final say in the party organs. In society, however, the left have no real weight, not the voters. Tsipras’ decision to force early elections, marked the end of the Old Left in Syriza alliance: The Left would be either suppressed from the lists of candidates of the party and not return to parliament, thus disempowered, or to secede and fail when choosing

.

And so the revolution devours its children. The Communist Platform preferred the self-chosen finish. 25 deputies from the left-wing camp have already split off and founded the new group national unity, which is the third largest in parliament so.

Syriza is therefore naturally weakened, and the question is: Can the Party nevertheless emerge again as the strongest force in the choice and find a majority government? A recent survey of “Bridging Europe” sees the new national unity with 25 deputies, Syriza would fall from 149 to 134 seats. 50 of them would be the election winner bonus of Greek electoral system. The previous right-wing coalition partners Anel stay with 13 deputies. This means that Syriza would certainly win again, the previous coalition would have 147 deputies with too few to form a government. 151 MPs would be needed.

The bourgeois opposition can it so far does not seem to benefit. The old parties New Democracy and Pasok fall according to the survey to 61 (instead of 76) and ten (instead of 13) mandates. For the moderate leftist party is on the upswing, with 21 seats instead of 17 as in January. She has repeatedly offered as a coalition partner for Tsipras, and circles from his environment said on several occasions that he think about it.

Should this happen, with or without Anel, would be the result of Tsipras’ maneuvers to weaken the radical left and even his own party, while also strengthening the political center in Greece. Perhaps a first step back to “normal” political conditions.

The disappointing news from the China’s economy do not stop: On Friday it became known that the mood of Chinese entrepreneurs has dropped to its lowest level since March 2009.

This is from an important leading indicator for the economy. the country produced, the Chinese business magazine Caixin that presented in a first estimate on Friday. The record low since 2009 leading to nervousness on the markets. Finally, the global economy was at that time after the bankruptcy of investment bank Lehman Brothers in crisis mode. Therefore, the poor performance now prolongeth worried about the state of huge importance for the world economy the country.

According to the data of the purchasing managers’ index of the manufacturing industry went (PMI) in August from 47.8 points the previous month at 47, 1 points back, but analysts had expected a value of 48.2. “The decline is mainly due to the slowing Chinese industrial production, the decline in commodity prices and weak exports,” writes Thu Lan Nguyen, an analyst at Commerzbank.

values ​​above 50 points indicate a growth of the economy while values ​​indicate below the critical mark a decline in economic activity.

“character in the capital markets at storm”

The gloomy mood in the Chinese industry fired again, concerns about weakening growth locomotive China , “This morning, the signs on the capital markets to storm,” said Dirk Gojny, an analyst at the National Bank. Concern about the strength and prospects of the Chinese economy to take now still. The exchanges gave way to new figures from Beijing to greatly. The Japanese Nikkei slumped below the mark of 20, 000 points. The DAX also gave in the morning when had not so strong as investors previously feared.

In the currency market, the China concerns strengthened the Euro. The single currency approached the morning in the meantime the brand of 1.13 US dollars, reaching the highest level since the end of June. Growing worries about China weaken the US dollar, because they are seen as a major stumbling block for a speedy turnaround in interest rates in the US.

Attack the BANK OF NEXT ONE?

Lothar Hessler, an analyst at the bank HSBC Trinkaus, believes that the Chinese central bank will now resort to other measures in order to grab the domestic economy under the arms. After the surprising yuan depreciation over a week ago, is now expected to monetary easing. “The key interest rate is expected to be reduced in the current quarter by 25 basis points to 4.60 percent,” estimates Hessler. A lowering of interest rates affects supportive to exports because it makes domestic goods abroad cheaper. Many analysts believe that the Chinese central bank had already made the yuan devaluation with the intention to grab the weakening export under the arms.

The Institute of German Economy (IW) in Cologne demanded in addition to the economic and political liberalization in China. “The economic model has reached its growth limit,” it said in an analysis. “There is still only on economic freedom, while it makes no social, political and legal freedoms.” Without this, it would, however, be for the People’s Republic of “impossible” to go the next step of development. “And that also endangers the weak global economy.”

The Chinese growth will likely settle at an average of only five percent, the institute predicted. “For nations such as Germany, which rely on the export of capital goods, which represents a considerable need for adjustment – unless the Chinese government thinks sustainably by”, goes on to say

For weeks GROW investor concerns. ” / p>

A few weeks ago the concerns of investors about China’s economy to grow, because they are not so well developed as previously expected. From January to June, the Chinese economic power had grown in the first half of 2014 by seven percent. However, experts believe that the actual growth has slipped far below this level.

China’s government subjecting the country’s economy even the largest renovation in decades. The country wants to become less dependent on exports and not continue the extended workbench of the world. Instead, innovation is encouraged and a high-tech sector are set up.

China’s industry is weakening – exchanges continued in descent – Reuters Germany

– Koh Gui Qing and Rene Wagner

Beijing / Berlin (Reuters) – China will send new shockwaves across the global economy: The business of the industry ran in August as bad as the last six and a half years no longer.

The fear of a decline in growth of the second largest after the United States economy was around the world slump, stock prices again. Even oil prices were down significantly. Unsettled show the German consumers. Their buying mood is currently as bad as the last six months is no longer, as they expect a weaker economy in Germany.

The Purchasing Managers’ Index for the Chinese industry fell surprisingly by 0.7 to 47.1 points, the Markit Institute said on Friday its monthly business survey. That left the barometer the sixth consecutive month below the threshold of 50 points, from which a growth is signaled. “The government has expected an upturn in the second half, but it looks like the opposite,” said economist Chester Liaw from research firm Forecast Pte in Singapore. “The economy is likely to continue to weaken.” The company produced as little as four years no longer, while orders shrank both from home and abroad. Therefore, painted bodies. Many markets of the world export champion falter, including emerging markets such as Russia and Brazil. “The data renewed doubts about the global recovery,” said economist Tim Condon of ING Bank.

Investors fear a hard landing of the Chinese economy. In Frankfurt the DAX benchmark index slipped to its lowest level in seven months. In Tokyo, the Nikkei index closed 2.98 percent lower, in Shanghai, the stock market was at times more than four percent. Even oil prices fell because China is the world’s largest energy consumer. “The markets have prices now the worst one,” Herald said Mr van der Linde, chief strategist for Asian equities at HSBC.

” GERMAN ECONOMY TURNED up a gear “

The buying mood of the German clouded the face of rising economic risks in China. The People’s Republic has become the fourth largest customer for German goods. The barometer of consumer sentiment in September falling by 0.2 to 9.9 points, such as the Society for Consumer Research (GfK) found during its survey of 2000 consumers. This is the worst value for half a year. The main reason: Consumers rated the economic outlook for the third month in a row bad. “The Grexit-consumer concerns may have been replaced seamlessly by concerns about the Chinese economy,” said BayernLB analyst Stefan Kipar.

In the German economy, the China-weakness is so far not yet arrived, because they can be found on other markets Annual growth. The purchasing managers’ index for the German private sector rose in August by 0.3 to 54.0 points. That is the highest figure in four months. “The German economy has shifted up a gear,” said Markit economist Oliver Kolodseike. So you will no longer put as many employees as one since the late 2011th The partial barometer of the industry even climbed to the highest level in nearly a half years. “In the industrial sector laid the foreign orders from many countries, including Britain and the United States, even as strongly as last year and a half ago,” said Markit. The weak euro, which cheapened goods overseas is likely to have helped.

For the German carmaker, however, the world’s largest car market is changing from a blessing to a curse , In July, sales in China declined after years of boom, according to industry association CAAM by 7.1 percent to 1.5 million vehicles. Prices are in descent. Represents the Volkswagen Group a great deal at stake, for the Wolfsburg-based drive in the People’s Republic of a large part of the profit. VW and Audi subsidiary, in China the undisputed top dog in the luxury segment, a deposited their sales targets. BMW in China slowed production.

The Beijing government aims this year a growth rate of seven per cent , It would be the smallest increase since a quarter century. Recently both the industrial production as well as the investment and retail sales grew less than expected. The central bank is trying to counteract: You had to devalue the national currency Yuan vigorously, making Chinese goods cheaper abroad. Since 11 August, the price declined by three per cent against the dollar after.

After Tsipras cancellation: Left Syriza-wing split from – derStandard.at

Greece has seen quieter summer. No sooner had the third bailout loan after dramatic weeks in the bag, Alexis Tsipras announced on Thursday evening his resignation. The Greeks are to vote again, and fast: On September 20, in a month, wants the left prime minister have a new vote after barely six months in office

First, Tsipras has but with riots in. within its own ranks to fight: In Parliament 25 MPs of the left wing of his Syriza party have formed a separate parliamentary group on Friday morning. Topping “Laiki Enotita” (National Unity) by former Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis. Ex-Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis is not part of the split-off group

formation of a government attempt to conservatives

Tsipras’ plan for rapid elections could also from the Nea Dimokratia (ND) are thwarted. Evangelos Meimarakis, Interim Chairman of the Conservative former ruling party since the resignation of former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras wants to exploit the room for maneuver which the Constitution gives him. He received as head of the second largest parliamentary party at midnight the mandate to form a government. You may also use the fascists, it has been speculated in the night on Friday in Athens. But the voices are not enough.

Tsipras had previously resigned. The Greeks should decide on “all that I have done,” the 41-year-old insured thick makeup and ingenuously in his brief televised address on Thursday night, his eyes fixed on the invisible teleprompter where the speech text was.



Forked Syriza

But that’s only half the story. “The government has no majority. No one can ignore,” had Panos Skourletis, the Minister for Energy, Environment and reconstruction, previously given on the day on state television ERT. More than a quarter of the parliamentary faction of Syriza, the reigning leftist Minor party alliance, the Premier failed last allegiance

The credit agreement with the creditors, the new tax hikes and pension cuts, the resumption of privatization -. All the complete opposite of election promises and speeches, with whom the party had stepped before the Greeks and had won their historic election victory in January. Syriza has since split. The early parliamentary election next month Tsipras will bring them to the new course. So the Greeks must once again go to the polls because the Prime Minister has a problem with his own party. “I want to be completely honest,” Tsipras said the Greeks on Thursday night. “We have not reached the agreement that we wanted.”



transitional government

As 2012 will be a transitional government of civil servants run the country for four weeks. Interim Prime Minister is then the chairman of the Constitutional Court, Vassiliki Thanou-Christofilou. But previously has ND boss Meimarakis three days for soundings. Together with the socialist Pasok and the liberal Civic Movement To Potami he would only 106 votes in the parliament; He could also Tsipras’ right-wing populist coalition partner Anel persuade (Independent Greeks) – which is unlikely – he might have 13 more seats

However, even with the support of the fascists of the Golden Dawn, it would not apply to the majority of. Governance of at least 151 seats rich; possibly for a very improbable also minority government. The fascists are 6.9 percent of the vote and 17 mandates, the third strongest force in parliament, just ahead To Potami (6.1 per cent and also 17 mandates).



fascists could explore

scooping Meimarakis and thereafter did Nikolaos Michaloliakos who is under house arrest head of the fascists, their mandates to form a government fully, but could the election date 20 September to Tsipras wants wiggle. Possibly, even the split of the Syriza “National Unity” received the mandate to form a government.

Polls certify Tsipras despite the spectacular reversals continued popularity. Syriza has been able to count on about 30 percent of the votes or more. As a split in the party would affect the voters, however, is not yet clear. In his televised address Tsipras attacked his internal party opponents. They would undermine the proper first leftist government in Greece, he said. (Markus Bernath, 08/21/2015)
