Indicateurs : le groupe MCB ramène la croissance 2019 à 3,9%

0

[ad_1]

Le MCB Group Limited, première entité financière du pays et propriétaire de la plus grande banque mauricienne, a revu à la baisse ses projections de croissance pour l’année. Néanmoins, l’activité économique sera meilleure qu’en 2018. Le tourisme est à surveiller.

Dans la dernière édition du MCB Focus, J. Gilbert Gnany, Chief Strategy Officer du groupe, explique que l’expansion économique en 2019 a été ramenée à 3,9% de 4% pour deux raisons principales. D’une part, il cite une détérioration des conditions économiques mondiales, en particulier dans nos principaux marchés à l’exportation. D’autre part, il évoque le retard dans la concrétisation des projets spécifiques du secteur privé.

Sur une base comparative, affirme J. Gilbert Gnany, la nouvelle estimation de croissance s’aligne sur celle du Fonds monétaire international. Statistics Mauritius et la Banque de Maurice ont maintenu leurs projections à 4%. (À noter que la Banque centrale communiquera son analyse le 22 février à l’issue de la première réunion 2019 du Monetary Policy Committee. Par ailleurs, Statistics Mauritius fera état de la santé économique du pays fin mars 2019).

« Ceci étant dit, il est important de noter que notre scénario de base évoque toujours une amélioration dans la croissance économique de Maurice pour cette année-ci comparée à 2018, soutenue principalement par une forte progression dans l’investissement national », affirme-t-il.

Passant en revue la performance sectorielle, le Chief Strategy Officer évoque une croissance moindre pour l’industrie du tourisme. Pour étayer ses dires, l’accent est mis sur la baisse dans les recettes pour les mois de septembre, octobre et novembre 2018 par rapport à la période similaire en 2017.

« The latter trend can, to some extent, be linked to the slower expansion in arrivals by air observed lately, while the overall growth in visitors during these periods was mainly linked to a notable hike in arrivals by sea – principally in respect of cruise ships – which, per se, generate relatively less income than arrivals by air», explique-t-il dans le MCB Focus, document rendu public dans l’après-midi du jeudi 7 février.

Dans le même ordre d’idées, J. Gilbert Gnany avance que la baisse dans les recettes touristiques pourrait s’expliquer par la perte du pouvoir d’achat des touristes traditionnels face aux difficultés économiques, la compétition venant des destinations régionales et la faiblesse éventuelle de l’euro dans le sillage de chocs économique et financier.

No sport treats fans with more contempt than football – supporters are not idiots

[ad_1]

Truth will be available in the Champions League next week — unless you’ve bought a ticket.

Although VAR will be in operation, replays will not be seen. Well, not by you, the paying customer inside the stadium. At home, they will know exactly what is going on.

It’s just you, the ones who have paid money for tickets, and maybe flights and hotels, too, who will be in the dark. You can’t handle the truth, apparently. Instead, a graphic — a cartoon, basically — will tell you what is going on.

That’s how much football trusts and values its most loyal consumers. Lucky it’s not glove puppets, really.

‘Security implications’ are behind UEFA’s decision. They do not believe supporters can see a replay of a controversial incident without rioting.

What year do they think this is? We have moved on from the days when fans had to wait for a Pathe newsreel or late-night highlights to find out what happened in the match. The invention of mobile phones gave fans in the ground a direct line to a friend in front of the television.

Social media has cut out even that middleman. Now, the verdict is instantaneous. Fans go on Twitter and see a clip, or update a live feed, or they’re streaming the match as well as watching it. What secrets do UEFA think they are protecting?

Everyone now knows when the referee’s stuffed up. In many ways that’s the saving grace — try as they might, the authorities cannot keep you uninformed for long. It’s the principle that is at stake here, more than the reality.

At West Ham on Monday night, linesman Simon Beck missed an offside against James Milner that led to Liverpool’s first goal. Replays made that obvious immediately and when, 10 minutes later, Beck flagged against Liverpool, huge ironic cheers went around the arena. They knew. They all knew. They didn’t need a replay to spread the word.

Anyway, had VAR been in place, and the fans seen the same footage as the video official, what would have been the problem? The goal would have been disallowed, no doubt of that, and, what, a riot would then have occurred? Really? Of course not.

The West Ham fans would have seen justice done so would have been perfectly happy, if a little scornful of Beck — which they were anyway — and the Liverpool end would have known exactly why their goal was ruled out. Not even the most one-eyed Red could have disputed it.

Sadio Mane's goal would have been ruled out for offside and it would not have been disputed

Sadio Mane's goal would have been ruled out for offside and it would not have been disputed

Sadio Mane’s goal would have been ruled out for offside and it would not have been disputed

So what’s the problem, where’s the riot? The only way there could be dissatisfaction caused by viewing VAR would be in very marginal cases — and it could be argued that the most marginal calls shouldn’t be judged this way in the first place. If it’s marginal, surely, the on-field decision holds sway, as happens in cricket.

But the insults to the intelligence do not end there. With seconds to go, the fourth official signalled three minutes of injury time. Yet when it got to 90 minutes, the clock displayed on the giant scoreboard stopped.

This isn’t a London Stadium issue, by the way. This happens at every ground in the country. So volatile and untrustworthy are football supporters that they are not even allowed to know how long there is to go; as if timepieces have not been with us since the 16th century; as if every smartphone does not have a stopwatch function; as if we do not all possess an innate sense of time, certainly when measuring a handful of minutes.

Is there another sport where those attending the match are treated with such contempt?

Cricket lovers know how many overs remain, even in a Test match. The clock counts down in basketball and the NFL. Rugby supporters know when 80 minutes are up.

Yet the conclusion of the match remains a mystery in football. In case, what? In case fans start whistling? They are going to do that anyway.

The moment their team is under pressure they are going to remind the referee it’s time to go home; unless their team is already losing, of course, when they favour a version of next goal wins it.

Fans are like that. They’re biased. But they’re not idiots. There’s a difference, which is what UEFA will never understand.

Keeper’s double trouble 

Louis CK used to do a bit about putting his young daughters in the car.

About shutting the door on the bedlam and bickering, walking around to the driver’s side and taking a long, deep breath before getting in.

‘You know what that is?’ he would say, of those fleeting seconds of separation. ‘That’s your time.’

And, speaking as the father of twins and a sibling who was just 14 months older, he’s right. So Joe Day, whose wife gave birth to Sophia and Emelia while he turned out for Newport at home to Middlesbrough on Tuesday, might not appreciate it yet, but playing in goal in an FA Cup replay against a club 56 places above his in the league, may be the last minute of real peace he gets in 20 years.

Klopp’s strop with Pellegrini was justified 

Jurgen Klopp did not have much of a point about the referee on Monday, but he had every right to be snarky with West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini.

With West Ham still to play at the Etihad Stadium on February 27, it was poor form for Pellegrini to say he wanted Manchester City to win the league.

If Klopp was pondering whether West Ham would be as committed to taking points from Pellegrini’s former club, he was within his rights.

MPs share blame for rise of racism 

Mims Davies, the Minister for Sport, is demanding a summit with football’s leaders to discuss fears of growing racism and other prejudices in the game. The parameters appear to be quite wide-ranging and will involve conversations with Kick It Out and Stonewall, players, fan groups and coaches, as well as football executives.

Perhaps Davies might also like to consider whether British society has grown less tolerant since a major political campaign was framed around the falsehood of Turkey joining the European Union, making Britain’s borders vulnerable to an invasion of Turkish immigrants. 

Vote Leave — the campaign Davies supported — directly stigmatised those who were perceived as other to us. They are all trying to disown the specious Turkey scare now — ‘I didn’t talk about Turkey, mate,’ Boris Johnson told a reporter last month, which is, again, a lie — but it was there. Dominic Cummings, who conducted the successful Leave campaign, admits it.

He made a direct link between uncontrolled immigration via the EU, the toll it would take on the NHS, and the money we could spend on the NHS if we got out. ‘If Boris, (Michael) Gove and Gisela (Stuart) had not supported us and picked up the baseball bat marked “Turkey/NHS/£350 million” with five weeks to go, then 650,000 votes might have been lost,’ Cummings explained in The Spectator. 

And this is the campaign Davies backed. A campaign based on a false scare that Turkey would join the EU — there was no prospect of progress in that area, and has not been for years — with figures plucked out of thin air, that linked a failing NHS with mass immigration.

So racism is on the rise in a working-class sport in a country which recently held a very divisive referendum — for which Davies also voted — with the topic of outsiders and outside rule at its core.

Maybe football should be calling for a summit with ministers, rather than the other way round. When is it their turn to take the responsibility that comes with control?

Sala tragedy must not be soap opera  

Even in the era of the 24-hour news cycle, it seems rather ghoulish to be provided with constant updates on the whereabouts and status of the wreckage of Emiliano Sala’s doomed light aircraft.

We hear of a plane 63 metres down on the seabed, and then a body in the plane, and then the body on the recovery boat and a private ambulance; is it Sala, or pilot David Ibbotson? Do we need the details? We’re adults, we know what happened.

The search and its tragic conclusion should be a family matter, not part of the rolling news agenda.

And how sadly predictable, too, that this would ultimately descend into a squabble over the readies between the various parties. Nantes have put in their bill for the first part of the payment, because they owe Bordeaux a sell-on fee, plus a queue of agents their cut.

Cardiff insist they will pay no fees — the first instalment is usually due seven days after any deal is completed — until the investigation into the crash is over.

Neil Warnock's reaction to the tragedy was moving but Cardiff should not delay payment

Neil Warnock's reaction to the tragedy was moving but Cardiff should not delay payment

Neil Warnock’s reaction to the tragedy was moving but Cardiff should not delay payment

Yet what investigation? The one that will inevitably confirm Sala’s passing, the investigation into what caused the crash, or a longer legal case that attempts to establish liability?

This could take years to pick through, and Cardiff know it.

The reaction of club officials such as Neil Warnock has been moving and sincere, but it would be appalling if those above him used the process as a way of delaying financial liabilities.

As crass as Nantes’ demands may appear, there was a transfer and it had taken place when Sala went missing. He may never have played for Cardiff but he was undoubtedly their player at that point, meaning there are obligations.

It may not be the right time to discuss them, with the search ongoing, but they exist and if Cardiff let this descend into a hardball negotiation over his £15m fee, neither side will emerge well.

Rodriguez-Bong row must stop 

The chants aimed at Brighton defender Gaetan Bong by West Brom fans on Wednesday night were highly distasteful. 

Not overtly racist — but as they came in the context of an accusation of racism Bong made against West Brom player Jay Rodriguez, which could not be substantiated, they contained a nasty undertone. 

Then again, so did the chants of ‘racist’ the Brighton fans aimed at Rodriguez. Chris Hughton, Brighton’s manager, suggested the treatment of Bong might merit further investigation by the Football Association. 

Gaetan Bong (right) helped Brighton beat West Brom but was targeted by distasteful chanting

Gaetan Bong (right) helped Brighton beat West Brom but was targeted by distasteful chanting

If so — what of Rodriguez? He has always protested his innocence, and no conclusive proof was found to substantiate Bong’s accusations. 

Are we going to suggest that being publicly branded a racist without substantiation is painless? If the FA investigates Bong’s tormentors without conceding Rodriguez was wronged, too, that would certainly be the implication. 

The accusation was investigated at the time, and a conclusion made. As unsatisfactory as that may have been, both players should be allowed to get on with their careers without being constantly dragged back to the same place. 

Despite frightening the horses with talk of playing Jack Nowell at flanker, England coach Eddie Jones is not backing down. ‘I’d love to get Billy Vunipola fit enough to play 12,’ he told a small gathering of — frankly, appalled — rugby writers last weekend. 

Looking at the bemused faces, Jones ploughed on. ‘The game’s changing, guys,’ he insisted. 

Maybe it’s not changing as quickly as Jones would like, but he’s not wrong. As athletic levels in rugby continue to improve, variation of roles is the future. 

Garcia the brat shames golf 

When Sergio Garcia’s Masters victory in 2017 was hailed as a populist triumph, there were those who begged to differ. They cited the many times Garcia behaved like a brat and refuted claims he was a people’s champion.

Rows with rules officials, spitting in the cup, the fried chicken crack about Tiger Woods — it was quite a case for the prosecution. Ultimately, however, nothing could trump Garcia’s joy on at last winning a major, or the sheer pleasure of seeing a great player fulfil his dream and destiny.

This was before Garcia showed such dismal contempt for the game, and his fellow professionals, by damaging several greens during the Saudi International tournament. 

It will be harder to indulge him now, and the European Tour should be ashamed that their punishment did not extend beyond simple disqualification. Garcia should have surrendered his Tour card for a month, at least.

There is a suggestion Anthony Joshua could be frozen out of the action, if Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder agree a rematch package of up to three fights. Yet who wants to see that? Fury versus Wilder was good, but it was hardly Ali-Frazier.

The final-round resurrection was a show-stopper, but we’ve seen that now. What remains is a fight between a big puncher and a great technician — a decent match, but not one that demands endless repetition, particularly if it becomes a ploy to avoid the man with the belts. 

That is the fight the public really wants to see: the winner versus Joshua.

Anthony Joshua may have to bide his time to fight Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder

Bezos dévoile le chantage aux photos intimes dont il est victime par un magazine pro-Trump

Le PDG d’Amazon accuse le « National Enquirer » d’avoir menacé de publier des clichés intimes, visiblement pour qu’il renonce à enquêter sur les liens de ce groupe avec Riyad.

Jeff Bezos, l’homme le plus riche du monde, a fait l’objet d’un chantage à la photo intime… et a choisi de tout révéler. Jeudi 7 février dans la soirée, le fondateur d’Amazon et propriétaire du Washington Post, a expliqué dans un long texte comment American Media Inc (AMI), propriétaire du tabloïd National Enquirer, a orchestré cette machination contre lui, visiblement pour qu’il renonce à enquêter sur les liens avec l’Arabie saoudite de ce groupe proche de Donald Trump.

« Si dans ma position, je ne peux pas résister à ce genre d’extorsion, combien de personnes le pourront ? », interroge M. Bezos, qui détaille sa démarche. « Au lieu de capituler face à l’extorsion et au chantage, j’ai décidé de publier exactement ce qu’ils m’ont envoyé, en dépit du coût personnel et de l’embarras » que cette affaire induit.

M. Bezos révèle donc le mail édifiant envoyé le 5 février par le rédacteur en chef du National Enquirer, Dylan Howard, qui détaille les dix photos de M. Bezos qu’il dit avoir en sa possession : un selfie en dessous de la ceinture – un « d*ck pick », précise l’e-mail sans qu’il soit indispensable de traduire – ; une photo de sa maîtresse Lauren Sanchez fumant un cigare comme si elle faisait une fellation ; M. Bezos torse nu, en caleçon et en semi-érection ; un selfie nu dans sa salle de bain, en portant « son alliance de mariage au doigt » précise le mail faussement pudibond, Mme Sanchez en déshabillé rouge, etc.

Il recrute une équipe de détectives

L’affaire a commencé après l’annonce, début janvier, du divorce de M. Bezos et de sa femme MacKenzie après un quart de siècle de mariage. Immédiatement, le National Enquirer révèle que M. Bezos a échangé des SMS enflammés avec sa maîtresse dès le printemps 2018, soit bien avant la séparation officielle et se vante d’avoir suivi les amants « à travers cinq Etats et pendant 40 000 miles ».

M. Bezos charge alors une équipe de détectives d’enquêter sur l’affaire « pour savoir comment ces textos avaient été obtenus et de trouver les motivations des méthodes inhabituelles employées par l’Enquirer », écrit-il. Il fait travailler un détective chevronné, Gavin de Becker, qu’il connaît depuis vingt ans. Il y a quelques jours, poursuit M. Bezos, il apprend que le patron d’AMI et grand ami de Donald Trump, David Pecker est « au bord de l’apoplexie » à cause des enquêtes menées par les équipes de Bezos.

Cannabis – Xavier – Luc Duval : «Je m’attends que le gouvernement légifère»

Le Parti mauricien social-démocrate (PMSD) se réjouit de la décision de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS)recommandant la reclassification du cannabis. « Maintenant que le comité d’experts de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé s’est enfin prononcé en faveur du cannabis médical, je m’attends à ce que le gouvernement légifère en conséquence », a déclaré Xavier-Luc Duval, jeudi.

Il dit prendre note que le comité a considérablement assoupli sa position concernant le cannabis : « Le PMSD est ainsi réconforté et maintient que les consommateurs doivent être traités comme des malades et non des criminels et que le cannabis médical doit être rapidement légalisé ».

Le Premier ministre Pravind Jugnauth avait, l’an dernier, affirmé qu’il attendait les recommandations de l’OMS avant de se prononcer sur le cannabis médical. Toutefois jeudi, le Bureau du Premier ministre s’est refusé à tout commentaire sur ce développement jugeant qu’il était prématuré de se prononcer sur le sujet.

Manchester City hoping to boost profile in China by agreeing a pre-season tour in Asia

Manchester City hoping to boost profile in China by agreeing a pre-season tour in Asia but they are not expected to face Manchester United

  • The Premier League champions want to secure a stronghold in the region
  • Club chiefs were mindful that the last two summers have been spent in America
  • A Chinese consortium owns 13 per cent of CFG after a £265million investment

Manchester City are hopeful of further strengthening their ties with China by agreeing a pre-season tour in Asia.

The Premier League champions want to secure a stronghold in the region and are in the process of adding a club in Chengdu to City Football Group’s (CFG) portfolio.

Club chiefs were mindful that the last two summers have been spent in America and that a return to China is required to boost their profile in what is viewed as a crucial market.

A Chinese consortium, CMC, owns 13 per cent of CFG after a £265million investment and City opened a second office in the country earlier this season.

Pep Guardiola’s side are expected to play at least three matches there in July, with the potential of another stop elsewhere on the continent. Japan has been mooted as a possible destination.

City’s last trip to China, in 2016, was ill-fated after the postponement of the glamorous friendly against Manchester United due to adverse weather conditions.

The rivals are not expected to meet this summer, despite United also weighing up a jaunt to Asia as part of their pre-season plans, which take them to Australia.

Grippe et intoxication alimentaire en hausse

0

[ad_1]

Les cas d’infection respiratoire aiguë, y compris de grippe, ont connu une hausse depuis ces dernières semaines. Pour la semaine du 28 janvier au 3 février, environ 4 000 cas ont été recensés dans les hôpitaux publics. Ce qui représente une augmentation de 500 cas en comparaison avec la semaine précédente.  La grippe étant une maladie hautement contagieuse, il est important de consulter un médecin dès l’apparition des premiers symptômes (fièvre, courbatures, maux de gorge, vomissement et diarrhée dans certains cas), fait ressortir le Dr Khodabocus. Afin d’éviter de propager la maladie, il est recommandé de suivre les instructions du médecin et de rester à la maison pour se reposer. Il faut aussi se couvrir le nez et la bouche quand on éternue et quand on tousse. Le Senior Community Physician recommande aussi de se laver régulièrement les mains avec de l’eau et du savon.   Il rappelle que la grippe peut causer des complications de santé. Une surinfection bactérienne peut engendrer une bronchite, pneumonie ou otite. Dans certains cas, cela peut entraîner le décès du patient. Les plus vulnérables sont les enfants en bas âge, les personnes âgées et ceux qui souffrent de maladies chroniques (hypertension, asthme, cancer, VIH).

Selon le médecin, les cas d’intoxication alimentaire sont aussi en augmentation et cela découle de la consommation d’aliments qui n’ont pas été bien conservés et qui ont été altérés par la forte chaleur. Il recommande ainsi la consommation d’aliments fraichement préparés. S’agissant des aliments cuits et non consommés, il faut les conserver au réfrigérateur.

Ces deux annonces bouleversent une nouvelle fois le paysage politique du pays, où l’instabilité est chronique.

La candidature de la princesse Ubolratana, sœur aînée du roi de Thaïlande, au poste de premier ministre, a été annoncée vendredi 8 février, un séisme politique sans précédent qui n’a pas empêché le chef de la junte au pouvoir de se présenter aussi.

La princesse Ubolratana, 67 ans, est notre « candidate au poste de premier ministre » à l’issue des élections qui se tiendront le 24 mars, les premières depuis le coup d’Etat de 2014, a déclaré à l’Agence France-Presse Preechaphol Pongpanich, dirigeant du parti Thai Raksa Chart, très proche du clan Shinawatra, bête noire de la junte militaire au pouvoir.

Quelques minutes plus tard, son chef, Prayut Chan-o-Cha, indiquait dans un communiqué être « d’accord pour accepter l’invitation [du parti] Phalang Pracharat de proposer mon nom au Parlement pour être nommé Premier ministre ».

Instabilité chronique

Ces deux annonces bouleversent une nouvelle fois le paysage politique en Thaïlande où l’instabilité est chronique particulièrement depuis le milieu des années 2000.

Jusqu’à présent, d’après les observateurs, Prayut Chan-o-Cha, était pressenti pour rester au pouvoir face aux deux poids lourds historiques de la politique thaïlandaise : les démocrates, proches des classes aisées, et le parti Pheu Thai, fondé par Thaksin Shinawatra.

Le mouvement Thai Raksa Chart a été fondé en novembre 2018 par des fidèles de Thaksin Shinawatra, exilé pour échapper à une condamnation pour corruption qu’il a toujours dénoncée comme politique.

Au tournant des années 2000, la Thaïlande a connu plus d’une décennie d’instabilité politique pendant laquelle le pays a été le théâtre de fortes tensions entre « chemises rouges » (réformateurs, partisans des Shinawatra) et « chemises jaunes » (conservateurs ultra-royalistes au premier rang desquels les généraux), ce qui a conduit à deux coups d’Etat militaires.

Hull FC 18-26 Castleford Tigers: Michael Shenton scores two tries to help his side secure back-to-back wins

  • Tigers captain Michael Shenton scored two of Castleford’s five tries on Thursday
  • Paul McShane missed three conversions but the visitors were still victorious
  • The losing run now dating back to June stands at 13 games for the home side

Press Association Reporter

Castleford made it two wins from their first two games of the new season by beating Hull 26-18 at the KCOM Stadium.

Tigers captain Michael Shenton scored two of his side’s five tries and despite Paul McShane’s three missed conversions, the visitors handed Hull their second defeat of the season.

More worryingly for the Black and Whites, their losing run now stands at 13 games dating back to June 2018.

Shenton gave the visitors the ideal start with the game’s opening try in the fourth minute. Jake Trueman broke free from Hakim Miloudi’s tackle to create the opening for Shenton. Paul McShane’s conversion gave Castleford an early 6-0 advantage.

It got better for Daryl Powell’s side when they scored their second try in the 13th minute. McShane’s grubber kick was grounded by Jesse Sene-Lefao despite the attempts of Hull prop Scott Taylor to defend his line. McShane was off target with his conversion attempt, but his side led 10-0.

Hull eventually managed to get downfield and put the Tigers under pressure on their own try line. Moments after Mark Minichiello was held up, Joe Westerman powered his way over the line against his old. Marc Sneyd’s conversion cut Castleford’s lead to 10-6.

Hull were level in the 27th minute through a well-worked try between Hull’s two half-backs with Sneyd’s precision kick collected superbly by Jake Connor to score on his return from a one-match suspension. Sneyd’s conversion edge Hull into a 12-10 lead after 27 minutes.

Castleford ended the first half in the same manner they began it, by attacking Hull’s line. Again it was Tigers skipper Shenton finishing the move that was made easier by Miloudi’s decision to vacate his outside position in the defensive line that made Shenton’s job a lot simpler.

McShane found the conversion close to the touchline much harder and his missed attempt meant the visitors led 14-12 at the break.

Eight minutes into the second half, Castleford extended their lead to 18-12 with their third unconverted try of the game. James Clare ended a flowing attack by grounding the ball in mid air to avoid going into touch.

Hull were then denied a try when Connor’s score was disallowed for an obstruction prior to him strolling through to score.

In their next set, Castleford extended their lead to 24-12 with their fifth try of the contest. McShane, who was at the heart of most of the Tigers’ attacks, dropped a grubber kick through for Junior Moors to ground. McShane ended his run of missed goals by adding the extras.

But Hull came back with a try four minutes later when Jordan Lane was sent over the whitewash by Jamie Shaul. Sneyd’s conversion closed Castleford’s lead to six points.

Castleford made it an eight-point game when they were awarded a penalty 17 minutes from time. With three missed kicks to his name, McShane handed the kicking duties to Jordan Rankin who split the uprights with his kick to make it 26-18.

Needing to score twice to rescue anything from the game, Hull were unable to threaten the visitors’ line in the closing stages of the game.
