Over the weekend there were proposals that Germany and the other 5 AAA-rated nations of Europe might start jointly issuing 'Elite' bonds. Pound rates are today being driven by attitude to risk - and what a morning it has been. Equity markets have surged, and risk associated currencies such as the Australian dollar have moved higher.

THE passage this month of free trade agreements may be a victory not only for President Obama, but also for workers in Colombia, Panama and South Korea. Although the anticipated economic consequences of these agreements are small, these pacts also offer a mechanism for improving workers' rights in partner countries.

This articles describes the strained relationship between the United States and Mexico because of their respective protectionist policies. There is talk of both countries decreasing or completely removing these policies to allow for better trade within each country. This would decrease domestic trade and increase exportation between countries. Unemployment would decrease due to the increased trade between countries.

North Carolina is seeking to aid citizens so that tax returns are easier for them and income tax is not a "guessing game". Making tax returns simpler for citizens in North Carolina will aid the government by having to send out less and smaller returns because the citizens will be able to predict the amount of income tax that they have to pay more accurately.
