BERLIN (AFP) - Europe's largest airline group Lufthansa, hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, said Sunday (Sept 19) it would seek to raise more than two billion euros with a capital increase. The German company said its executive board had agreed to a share issue from Wednesday and "the gross proceeds are expected to amount to 2.140 billion euros (S$3.38 billion)". Lufthansa said the transaction, intended to improve its equity position and help repay state aid provided in the course of the pandemic, was underwritten by a syndicate of 14 banks. "All members of the Executive Board of the company have also committed to participate in the capital increase and to exercise all subscription rights received in relation to their shares in full," it said. Lufthansa, which also includes Austrian, Swiss and Brussels Airlines, was saved from bankruptcy last June by a German government bailout. As travel restrictions eased and passengers returned, the group posted a net loss for the second quarter of this year of 756 million euros compared with 1.5 billion euros last year, when travel worldwide was halted by Covid-19.

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - US stocks ended sharply lower in a broad sell-off on Friday (Sept 17), ending a week buffeted by strong economic data, corporate tax hike worries, the Delta Covid-19 variant, and possible shifts in the US Federal Reserve's timeline for tapering asset purchases. All three major US stock indexes lost ground, with the Nasdaq Composite Index's weighed down as rising US Treasury yields pressured market-leading growth stocks. They also posted weekly losses, with the S&P index suffering its biggest two-week drop since February. "The market is struggling with prospects for tighter fiscal policy due to tax increases, and tighter monetary policy due to Fed tapering," said David Carter, chief investment officer at Lenox Wealth Advisors in New York. "Equity markets are also a little softer due to today's weak Consumer Sentiment data," Carter added. "It's triggering concerns that the Delta variant could slow economic growth." A potential hike in corporate taxes could eat into earnings also weigh on markets, with leading Democrats seeking to raise the top tax rate on corporations to 26.5 per cent from the current 21 per cent.

Pace of reopening amid Covid-19 depends on price Singapore is willing to pay, say experts

SINGAPORE - How Singapore moves forward in dealing and living with Covid-19 depends on the price the country is willing to pay to achieve this. There is no perfect option and it is a matter of choosing "the best set of trade-offs that we would wish to have", said Associate Professor Hsu Li Yang, an infectious diseases expert at the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. He was one of three panellists at The Straits Times discussion, Living With Covid-19: When And How?, on Thursday (Sept 16). Prof Hsu said severe illness and deaths will rise as measures ease, but aiming for no deaths means the constraints on society will be extremely high: "We haven't talked about what we might want to accept in terms of the cost of living with Covid-19." Singapore has close to 75,000 Covid-19 cases, of whom 59 people have died. There are now 77 people seriously ill and 12 in critical condition. The nation can open up faster if it is willing to accept six or seven deaths a day. It may not be able to do that if it wants to keep the death toll closer to what one sees for influenza, which is two a day, he said. Professor Ooi Eng Eong of Duke-NUS Medical School said at the discussion that Singapore'...

Where workers age fastest, robots take on more jobs: Study

elean

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - It turns out robots are taking over jobs fastest around the world in places where their human counterparts are ageing the most rapidly. That is the conclusion of a new study that looked at demographic and industry-level data in 60 countries and found a powerful link between ageing workforces - defined as the ratio of workers aged 56 and older, compared with those aged 21 to 55 - and robot use, focusing in particular on industrial settings. The research showed age alone accounted for 35 per cent of the variation between countries in their adoption of robots, with those having older workers far more likely to adopt the machines. "Ageing is a huge part of the story" in robot adoption, said Dr Daron Acemoglu, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who conducted the study with Pascual Restrepo of Boston University. The research fits a longstanding trend of countries such as South Korea and Germany - which both have very rapidly aging workforces - also being among the world's fastest adopters of robots, based on the number of robots per human worker they deploy. "The US has a huge technological advantage in a bunch of areas - including software and...
