Financial and Legal (financial planning for expats at Barcelona, life insurance, banking, etc) Best for Expatriates in Spain As an expat, your circumstances are likely to change more often than if you were in your home country. Clear financial advice and planning means that expatriate life is without worry and that your future is taken care of. Financial planning requirements vary from country to country and expatriates living in Spain may need to allocate their investments in a different way. These are the elements that make expatriate financial planning different. Currency One of the first financial steps when relocating abroad may involve exchanging currency to that of the new country. It is important to search around for the best deal at both banks and specialist currency dealers. If an income is received from another country in another currency, it will need to be exchanged into the currency of new country. The impact of a regular currency conversion can leave a person exposed. Currencies move quickly and often; it may be necessary to "forward book" some of the currency exchanging to fix the rate of exchange. When it comes to arranging savings and investments, different currencies also need to be taken into consideration. In principle, if the investments are generating income used to live on, they should be in the same currency as the expenditure. EMERGENCY CASH FUND Regardless of the country of residence, an amount of cash should be instantly available for emergencies. In the case of expatriates, this fund needs to be higher because inevitably additional trips back home are required (for example, trips to see ailing and infirm relatives). The amount required depends on individual circumstances and a financial adviser takes this into account when financial planning. BANK ACCOUNTS Expatriates need a bank account in more than one country; a local bank account is required in the local currency. It is also often necessary to retain a bank account fo

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/155359573/The-Tyler-Group-Review-Articles The Tyler Group Review Articles - Prime Minister Manmohan Singh carried a contrarian note and warned India Inc of unjustified pessimism even as he guaranteed the industry of faster regulatory clearances, mitigation of inter-ministerial disagreements and a comprehensive review of the foreign investment policy to restore growth to its earlier trajectory. The Prime Minister made a case for prompt and critical actions to realize 8 per cent economic growth yet terming the 5 per cent GDP expansion as clearly disappointing. PM agreed that the role of the government is essential to take growth back to 8%. "India was growing above 9% before financial crisis," he said. He further added that the slowdown is partially because of global factors and the government would take corrective actions.

http://economic.tylergroupservices.net/ Myanmar on Tuesday pardoned dozens of political prisoners a day after the European Union agreed to end almost all sanctions against the former pariah state, activists said. Bo Kyi of the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma) said, at least 59 political prisoners were included in the latest amnesty. "More than 200 political prisoners are still in prison," he continued. "Political prisoners should be recognized as political prisoners and be released unconditionally." He said, the amnesty included 40 former rebels from eastern Shan state jailed for drug trafficking while describing them as "victims of politics". Nyan Lin, another activist, from the 88 Generation group, confirmed that at least 30 political prisoners were released. Based from his counting, he included 17 Muslims arrested and charged under the emergency act after religious clashes in the central town of Kyaukse in 2003. A Myanmar government official said that total of 93 inmates were pardoned but did not identify them. Out of the pardoned inmates, three were foreigners. He said, "This release aims to allow them to participate in building the country and is also based on humanitarian grounds." According to State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell, the United States welcomed the latest release but called for the unconditional freedom of all political prisoners. Since President Thein Sein took power in March 2011 Myanmar has freed hundreds of political detainees although they have been long denying their existence. The government publicized a reassessment of all politically allied cases in November last year. Myanmar's former junta was accused by rights groups of wrongfully imprisoning about 2,000 political opponents, dissidents and journalists. And activists state Myanmar's government has used a series of headline-grabbing prisoner releases for political gain. In November it seems that it was done to coincide with a

MADRID - The Web site of the Spanish royal family features pictures of the king, Juan Carlos I, in a blue sash, his bejeweled wife, Queen Sofía, and the couple's three glamorous children. But most of the photographs of the dashing Duke of Palma, the king's son-in-law, were scrubbed from the site last month. A street in Palma, Majorca, named for the Duke of Palma, the king's son-in-law, is going back to its original name. The duke's official biography was also banished from the site. And for more than a year, the royal family has barred the duke, a former Olympic handball player named Iñaki Urdangarin, from attending official family functions. With a multitude of graft cases undermining Spaniards' faith in just about every institution of government, an intensifying investigation aimed at Mr. Urdangarin has placed the palace under siege as well, and left the nation's aging monarch and his aides struggling to quell the crisis. Mr. Urdangarin, 45, who is married to the king's youngest daughter, Cristina, 47, is scheduled to testify on Saturday before an investigating judge over allegations that he embezzled millions of euros after leveraging his blue-blood connections to gain inflated, no-bid contracts from regional politicians for his nonprofit sports foundation, Instituto Nóos. The royal family has tried mightily to distance itself from the investigation. Officially, the palace has insisted that the king knew nothing about the foundation activities of Mr. Urdangarin, who has pledged to prove his innocence. It publicly maintains that Juan Carlos ordered his son-in-law to abandon the troubled foundation in 2006, a year before dubious financial dealings surfaced.

This is simply ingenious. Now why didn't anybody think of this before.
