Barcelona meeting point: low expectations

The experts met today at the Barcelona Meeting Point Real Estate Hall have argued that the industry must adjust to the new circumstances and change the model, because the exuberance of the past will not return.

Thus, in a conference organized on the future of the industry, Professor of Economics at the University Pompeu Fabra (UPF) José García Montalvo has claimed that "this area was once an industry: the ground was worth so much the material cost and selling it with a margin. "

"Then the industry turned a business, not what things cost, but how could a family maximum pay for your mortgage. And the adjustment means that the real estate business has to go back to being a real estate industry. And this traffic will be very positive, "said García Montalvo.

Secretary of State for Housing, Beatriz Corredor, leading to inaugurate this conference that "after four years of crisis, the sector had to be resized and in 2010 there have been 250,000 homes, and this is the equilibrium level to be have in the coming years. "

To the Secretary of State, "the year 2011 will be a transition year and from here this sector will again make a positive contribution to GDP."

In the opinion of Broker, the balance is "in the 400,000 annual transactions, including purchases of new housing and second-hand", and Secretary of State believes that the current excess inventory of unsold homes will be placed on a phased basis between now and 2014, in part because foreign demand and investment by foreign citizens to invest in holiday homes.

For its part, the president of the association of APCE promoters, Enric Reyna has warned Barcelona that begins to feel a lack of supply, price pressures will make efforts to be successful and not fall to rise again .

It is another point of view of the Secretary of Housing of the Generalitat, Carles Sala, who has called for "remaking the National Housing Pact", which signed the Catalan administration in 2007 to overcome the paralysis of the sector.

Carles Sala has warned that 2011 will be launched less than 10,000 homes in Catalonia, "which is a true state of paralysis" and has therefore called for a new covenant, because the one signed in 2007 was made under some parameters now not valid.

For Living Room, "there is a mismatch between supply and demand" and called for promoting the rent, "which is where you will find supply and demand."

On the other hand, the Minister of Finance of the Generalitat, Andreu Mas-Colell, congratulated the organization for the Meeting Point has been a success and "to maintain continuity and the thrust of this conference at a difficult time for the sector" .

The minister has argued that "Catalonia is a tourism center that will increase, with many new barcelona luxury hotels, but also a large industrial center and engine of the economy, so that in the medium term, will reactivate the industry."

"Now there are difficulties for the credit and the initial stock, but this will be a temporary phenomenon," said Mas-Colell at the closing ceremony today.

the end of corruption? not really

I continue to see the movement angry and I do not think so: is a tide that does not stop, that unabated and has guaranteed gas. The corrupt, you can not see that coming at them, still at home, so that the movement will grow. In the same way as in the French Revolution was a catalyst hunger invincible, malpractice and social teasing are making tempers, far from abating, rise in pitch. The personal dramas are kerosene in society.

We have before us two years of decline or even recession. The world would be planted in six years of hardship. It's hard to say, but the hopes of the globe to achieve real changes are now in these movements. Because otherwise, we will continue on a planet where people installed in the decision-making will continue doing the same, as if nothing had happened.

The politicians have not dared to make the necessary reforms and we had to attend, after four years of grueling economic crisis, embarrassing performances. The bailed-out banks have fallen back, but its directors have been a bonus, allowances and pensions scandal, with no law would have put a stop to this.

Raw materials prices are unavailable, thus causing famine in the world, international tension and the public press, which sees inflation comes deferred when they suffer unemployment and wage cuts.

Yet, the elite intend to continue business as usual installed in a sign of stupidity that fills me with astonishment, rather than indignation. Do you really expect the directors of the CAM or Novacaixagalicia (for instance) that could go with the big bucks elsewhere? If so, is that they are dumber than I thought. The world is outraged and they with jokes yet.

Our economy is in crisis model, mainly due to corruption. I recently worked at a company that was perfectly viable, but in their own box confused the company with his own. Thus, attending to their personal issues and not serving business commitments. As to them was fine, his company was dying ... The staff, suppliers, banks, all trying to curb this, even resorting to the courts, but always had an escape route. Among other things, the lawsuits ended in a dead, buried in the bureaucracy and inability to seize anything.

That is roughly what has happened in many parts of the world. On Wall Street or in the savings banks. People who have ability to access money is not the work of operating in a sustainable manner, ie pay first ensure that the business moves forward and then, in any case, and pocket the surplus.

That is the basis of the economy: an entrepreneur creates a project that generates income, activity, which obtains higher revenues and investment spending. This is called benefit and for the owners. There's nothing to say. The company is one of the owners and if you win money, it is legitimate for them.

The bad thing is that this crisis is widespread practice of taking revenue from executives, leaving aside the inherent payments business: staff, suppliers ... and manage their personal interests in mind (bonus, pension, personal expenses ... ), though this threatens the sustainability of the firm. Commonly, it is called to take the dough and it has been usual in these last days.

So companies have fallen, leading to very large and they have been. The model manager remains in place, yet. Never mind all that has happened in these years has not been curbed this. It's incredible. Boxes that some managers take him raw intervened, however much it signed with all law a board of directors, no pass.

Only angry movements are putting these issues on the table with the rawness needed. And seeing the shameful present, it is clear that they will continue with every reason to mobilize. Those who do not see it and pretend to hide behind practices before, sooner or later you will be surprised at all pleasant. At the moment, but the outraged who have achieved a small success like this? We must continue along this path. This is only a tiny victory in the midst of a monumental battle.

luxury houses sales in barcelona: up to 10 millions euros

One of the largest luxury home purchases last year in Spain was that of a private house in the upper area of ​​Barcelona. The transaction exceeded 10 million euros.

Alex Vaughan and Stijn Teeuwen, partner of Lucas Fox Photo: Elena Ramón.
"It was the largest operation we have coordinated since we started, although we have sold 300,000 euros floors," said Stijn Teuwen, director and founder of Lucas Fox Barcelona, ​​along with Alex Vaughan.

Lawyer by profession, left behind his life in the Netherlands and United Kingdom respectively, and moved to Barcelona with their families to "change of scenery." Teeuwen happened first in Andalusia, where he began his first real estate business. 6 years ago he moved to Barcelona and met Vaughan. Together they created Lucas Fox in 2005. Since then help foreign buyers to find housing for a very specific market niche.
A demanding customer
Foreign clients account for 70% of the total business of the company. "They do not need mortgage, have much work, little time and want answers fast," said Teeuwen. By nationality, 20% came from Eastern Europe, especially Russia. Other important clients are Australian, American and more Chinese and Indians, the latter doing business in England.
At first, many of them bought houses for a second home, but increasingly want to live in Barcelona. "The city is clearly a plus, but the main obstacles are to get a job working according to their level and find the appropriate value of the product," says Teuwen. The employer believes that the market is stable Barcelona after the "adjustment" to the luxury homes, but argues that prices "have yet to lose a little more."
Of the 18 employees who have Lucas Fox Barcelona has four more in the office of the Costa Brava and Ibiza five in only two of them were born in Spain and the rest are from ten different countries. "In addition to speaking their language, understand their cultural roots, which helps us find the right product for each customer," says the founder of Lucas Fox
A double-edged sword
Teuwen notes that the international focus of the company puts them a step backwards from similar agencies who know the market over Barcelona. But it is also true that they can get more foreign customers, which seems to be the only one who resists the stake of the crisis, as domestic demand continues to fall. In fact, according Teuwen, many sellers believe that the international market is the "only solution" to sell their property.

These international customers Lucas Fox has allowed its sales grow by 40% every year since its founding. In 2010 some 40 operations were performed with a value of 66 million euros (1.6 million euros on average per transaction), which allowed them to bill some two million euros.

for trichet, European treaties should be modified

For the President of the ECB, the euro is "not threatened", but he called all Europeans to be "extremely vigilant" with regard to public finances.

As his term ends at the head of the European Central Bank (ECB) October 31, it is not a Jean-Claude Trichet to lecture who spoke Sunday at the Grand Rendez-Vous on Europe 1 / Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France / i> Télé, to discuss the crisis at the moment Europe.

With his experience of eight years at the head of the institution, who was also governor of the Banque de France, has recommended that Europeans hear the messages addressed to them. His advice? First, be "extra vigilant" with regard to public finances. Rejecting the idea that the euro area and its currency are "threatened" by the crisis, it nevertheless stated that "all countries without exception must be extremely careful." "Protect yourself rather than cure," he summarized, adding that "it depends on us that we can have the least slower growth."

Then you have to "think about the future," stressed the President of the ECB. "Tomorrow, I think we need to change the treaty to be able to prevent a member of the euro area to roam and create problems for everyone else," he said, referring to the Greek crisis that Europe in a hard to control. He called for a reform that would make the European Council "able to impose decisions" in a country slide, with "possible sanctions".

It includes some of the "outraged"
"We must strengthen the management and governance of globalization in all fields," he also said in reacting to the movement of indignation that spreads in several major cities. "There are obviously a number of lessons from the crisis that the lessons are harsh: it is not possible to leave a financial system and consequently a global economic system that is as fragile." This does not mean "demolish" the banks, he insisted, recalling that "pay three-quarters of the economy."

That he referred to as de-globalization theme is in vogue right now, as advocated by the Socialist-Arnaud Montebourg, and one can imagine Jean-Claude Trichet tense in his chair ... and find that it is a call to strengthening of global economic governance.

the "indignados" occupying barcelona's street: 60.000

At least 60,000 'indignados', according to figures from the local police, and more than 300,000 according to organizers, have turned this Saturday to take the central streets of Barcelona to claim a global change in the political, economic and financial matters.

In a march organized simultaneously in more than 600 cities around the world have once again shown its convening power concentrating students, trade unionists, activists and affected by the cuts, such as toilets and teachers.

The march was led by a large banner that calls pass' of indignation to action, but peacefully.

There have been other signs with the symbol of the scissors crossed and criticism of the socioeconomic system - 'enough to privatize profits and socialize losses',' without sharing there can be no justice, without justice there can be no peace without peace there can futuro' have - that have demonstrated over the rejection of a system that want to renovate completely.

The crowd chanted songs have already become a classic within the movement as' democracy and not tell what is' and 'no, no, they do not represent us'; well have shouted again,' I was also in the Parlament 'in relation to the blockade of the Catalan Chamber on June 15, and' guilty 'when passing by the Exchange.

Arriving at the height of the Department of Interior, protected by a dozen police vans, the 'outraged' have demanding the resignation of Councillor, Felip Puig, the eviction of the Plaza Catalunya and the arrests of suspects by the blockade of the Parliament who had volunteered in the City of Justice.

The demonstration started at Plaza Catalunya has undergone Paseo de Gracia and Calle Aragon, and the height of Arc de Triomf - theoretical end point of the march - some 'angry' have diversified into three areas: to the Hospital del Mar, in protest at health cuts, to the Faculty of History at UB for education, while it remains unclear the direction of the protesters by housing problems.

Believes that change the whole system to promote the end of "consumerism, absurd."

A colleague, Moses, also a singer, he criticizes: "We believe this lie. We must promote a paradigm shift that may imply the abolition of money."

For Reuben, which is a hotel receptionist, who lives in Valencia but Barcelona, ​​change will come when politicians see what the movement actually 15M and realize that they are mistaken.

According to him, put a rope system to society that no longer can squeeze more because "going to be hanged," and now it's time to unite to get rid of that rope.

John, of the assembly of 'outraged' by Horta, said that since has gone global hunger is good that the movimieto be globalized as well: "We want to build a world in which the citizen is above the market."

WORLDWIDE

Barcelona asks for Catalan to be spken during matches

FC Barcelona UEFA has asked that in the game tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu, directions and instructions to make fans and journalists, as well as in Castilian, Catalan, both in written communications such as paging. But the request has not been answered Barcelona and today's match will be used only Castilian.

Catalan is a language used by UEFA when Barcelona plays at home or visiting outside Spain. Joan Laporta formally requested three years ago and since then has been used regularly.

Pep Guardiola gave his press conference yesterday in Castilian, Catalan and English without any problems. The European football's governing body places no obstacle to the coach and players who speak Catalan appearing in the Champions League in one of the official languages ​​of Spain.

From Real Madrid did not understand that in the game tonight would have to put the posters and give instructions over the PA in Catalan and can take place only in Spanish, which managed both clubs. The fact that two Spanish teams face does not make it necessary to use today Catalan.

Request Laporta.

The first officially used by the Catalan was in the UEFA Super Cup to Barça faced Shakhtar Donetsk in August 2009. Joan Laporta, then president of Barcelona, ​​UEFA formally requested and accepted his request. The practice was held yesterday at the press conference Guardiola. But today the public address system will be used only Spanish.

the end of greece.

But European leaders had sworn it would not happen. Yet one of the last taboos of the euro zone fell, Monday, September 12. In an interview with the newspaper Die Welt, the German Minister of Economy Philipp Rösler said that "to stabilize the euro, there should be more short-term no-think of some options," including that of an "orderly insolvency." In other words, Greece may soon have to be in bankruptcy to restructure its debt. While Brussels has again denied that opportunity on the day after the minister's statements. But for how long? It is rumored already in Berlin that it could be a matter of weeks or even days.
In Germany, the skepticism that greeted the announcement of the various rescue plans is being transformed into hostility. On 9 September, a poll for ZDF German respondents revealed that three in four said they were opposed to the expansion of German guarantees for indebted countries in the euro area, from € 123 to € 211 billion, or 27% the total amount. In other words, a German withdrawal would deprive the whole euro area's main lifeguard.
The German political class itself does not hide his impatience and the voices are becoming more and more to demand an end to the indulgence vis-à-vis Athens. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Greece should not receive additional aid until it had demonstrated its determination to undertake a cost reduction, while calling on his countrymen to be patient. However, "last place, we can not exclude that Greece should leave the euro area," said Christian Lindner, general secretary of the FDP, the CDU party ally of Angela Merkel.
Hans-Werner Sinn, an economist and president of the influential Institute for Economic think tank, estimated September 12, during a press conference, a Greek bankruptcy would be a "liberation" for the country. The economist also said that "the only way for Greece is to devalue at least 20% to 30%" its currency, he said. "This requires leaving the euro, it would be less severe scenario." But that's up to Greece alone.
Greek two scenarios under consideration in Germany
This feeling of exasperation in Germany follows a series of events that sent European stock markets in the carpet since the mid-summer. Finland announced that it has entered into an agreement with Greece providing additional safeguards parallel to the second aid package of € 158.6 billion agreed by the countries of the euro area on July 21. The announcement likely to wobble the rescue process has badly shaken investor markets.
In August, Italy came to turn in the storm and had to announce an austerity plan in a hurry to avoid the risk of default. A default narrowly avoided by the intervention of the European Central Bank has committed to lend money to the government of Silvio Berlusconi in exchange for drastic budget cuts. Added to that of Greece, that bankruptcy would be unsustainable for additional European monetary union.
Then, in early September, an independent control of the budget found that the dynamics of the Greek debt was now "out of control." Representatives from the troika (EU, IMF, ECB), who led an inspection of the Greek government accounts, suspended for ten days their mission in Athens after finding that the commitments of budget cuts made by Greece had not been held .
Faced with such an accumulation of signs, the German Finance Ministry was already working on the assumption of a Greek bankruptcy, according to Der Spiegel, which says it has developed two scenarios: 1. Greece would keep the euro, 2. it would reintroduce the drachma. Information that has not denied a spokesman for the minister acknowledged that his services "were concerned about potential developments" in this country, AFP reported.
Under pressure, the Greek government announced on 11 September the introduction of a new property tax which should earn around € 2 billion according to Prime Minister George Papandreou. This tax should be accompanied by an accelerated privatization of state property in order to plug the holes in the budget of the Greek administration. But obviously, the trust no longer reigns and this ad has received a frosty reception in Germany.
"Words are one thing, action is another," said Guido Westerwelle, German Minister of Foreign Affairs at a joint press conference with his Finnish counterpart on September 6. Which may include: passing a law is not enough, it is still necessary to implement it. If not, bankruptcy or exit, it will choose.
