Finance does not do enough to challenge the Overhead expenses.
Why? Because we think that we can't do much about it... I also thought that there was no possibility to improve overhead costs.

How to change group fees?
How to reduce personal costs?
This seemed impossible. But one day, I was assigned to reduce structural costs. I had no other solution than... finding solutions.

1/ Eurolectric, the Association of European incumbent energy firms, provides a distorted description of the Spanish proposal to reform electricity markets. Difficult to discuss false claims. They must have read another document…
2/ One would expect incumbents to reject a proposal that weakens their market power to achieve competitive electricity prices for consumers. Still, corporate interests should be defended with sound arguments, not distortions. The much-needed debate is not possible otherwise.
3/ The energy discussion in Europe is now a fight between incumbents and consumers…Incumbents are few but have much to lose and are powerful …while consumers are many, they have much to gain but are weak...The @EU_Commission and the Member States should defend the #CommonGood
As the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee hearing with @linakhanFTC gets underway, @julieinannap writes on not just Khan's ineffective approach & poor #antitrust enforcement record, but also how this approach undermines economic growth & #innovation itif.org/publications/2…
@linakhanFTC @julieinannap In a statement on the antitrust hearing, @linakhanFTC claims "the Commission is focusing its enforcement efforts and resources on targeting mergers and conduct that pose the greatest threats to open, competitive, and fair markets.”
@linakhanFTC @julieinannap In a dissenting statement, commissioners @FTCPhillips and @CSWilsonFTC show that no matter how you cut the data, enforcement is down: ftc.gov/system/files/f…

1/5 HUANG Yiping, Chairman of CF40 Academic Committee and Vice-chairman of NSD at Peking University, said the RMB XR has been increasingly flexible, and XR level is grounded in fundamentals. it is suspicious to label China as a #currency #manipulator.

2/5 Huang said, we must realize there is an outdated concept of #XR, which I think is #Trump’s understanding - #currency #depreciation is good for #economy, as a weaker currency is conducive to #export #competitiveness. In fact, this notion is no longer the case in nowadays.
3/5 As with increasing levels of capital account liberalization among countries, XR impacts on economy through financial channels, depreciation anticipation would lead to further #depreciation, and thus facilitating capital outflow, which would adversely impact on the economy.

1⃣ The institutional debate on autonomous #mobility focuses on the issues of #safety and industrial #competitiveness, to the detriment of other strategic issues related to mobility.
2⃣ However, the institutionalisation of experimental consortia organised around local authorities shows the willingness to move the cursor towards #mobility needs. Local authorities have a key role to play in linking #AutonomousVehicles and territorial mobility issues.
