plans may be scuttled by the Dutch ING Bank, which bid for Bank Brussels Lambert
holding a 49% stake in Patria.
4. A consortium led by Atlasz, a Hungarian insurance group, acquired PK Bank,
the last Hungarian bank to be privatized. The consortium was the only bidder in the
sale, in which a 62% stake went for $31.5m. Meanwhile, the Hungarian government
said that it would postpone the sale of the state's remaining stake in K&H bank,
saying that turbulence on the stock market would limit the success of the offering. A
majority stake in K&H was sold to an Irish-Belgian consortium last year. Hungarian
truck-part maker Raba had its IPO schedule approved. The sale, due to take place at
the beginning of December, could raise up to $50m after foreign and domestic buyers
have completed their bids.
5. The main shareholders of Slovakia's IRB Bank have approved a plan to raise the
bank's capital by $30m. The issue should be underwritten by a "strong strategic
investor," according to the bank.
6. Russian energy giant Gazprom secured a $3bn syndicated loan despite the risk
that it will be blacklisted by the US government because of its new projects in Iran.
The loan, arranged by Credit Lyonnais and Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, was secured
against its supply contracts with Gaz de France. In a separate development, Gazprom
postponed a $1bn convertible bond issue, citing instability on international markets.
7. Meanwhile, Banca Agricola said it would seek a foreign strategic investor when
it comes to be privatised (a sell-off is due within two years). It added that it would
look to reduce its loans to the farm sector from 50% of its portfolio to 20%.
8. UK investment group Foreign&Colonial launched a $68m emerging market
fund for Romania. It was reduced from an intended $100m after upheaval in the
region's stock markets.
9. Estonia's Central Bank raised the minimum capital adequacy requirement for the
country's banks to 12% in a response to another slump on the Tallinn stock market.
The Estonian exchange fared worse than most in the new crash.
Упражнение 6. Переведите с русского языка:
Группа «Редифайнинг прогресс» из Сан-Франциско предложила новый
способ расчета темпов экономического роста. По мнению разработчиков,
последние 20 с лишним лет показатель роста ВВП в США, который для
правительства является самым всеобъемлющим индикатором экономического
развития, рассчитывается неверно.
В принятой сейчас системе расчетов преступность, разводы и стихийные
бедствия учитываются как доходные статьи. «По нелепому правилу расчета
ВВП наша экономика представляется больным раком на последней стадии,
который затеял дорогостоящий процесс развода. Разделение семьи означает
судебные иски, решение вопроса о детях и необходимость приобретения
второго дома новым оборудованием».
ВВП, отражающий общий объем товаров и услуг страны, учитывает
потребление, инвестиции в промышленность и государственные расходы.
