Posted by admin

in News

By Tommy Wilkes LONDON (Reuters) - One in four European funds have classified themselves as sustainable under new EU environmental, social and governance rules, Morningstar said on Friday, as managers try to appeal to investors pouring cash into sustainable assets. Demand for ESG-compliant investment products is surging but confusion over what ESG claims mean in practice has spurred European policymakers to try and codify the sector to arm investors with more information and stamp out 'greenwashing', where lofty sustainability claims are not backed up by action. The European Union's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, the first...

Posted by admin

in News

By Kate Kelland LONDON (Reuters) - A very small number of mainly frail, elderly COVID-19 patients are being hospitalised and dying even after having a first dose of Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)'s or AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN)'s vaccines, but this does not mean the shots aren't working, UK researchers said on Friday. Presenting real-world data on a subset of hospitalised COVID-19 patients in the UK, the researchers said the findings showed some level of "vaccine failure" - in other words cases where vaccinated people still become infected and get sick - but that this was "not unexpected." "It's...

Euro-area output shrank 0.6% in the three months through March, after a decline of 0.7% at the end of 2020.

Russia adds Navalny’s regional campaign offices to ‘extremism’ list By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's financial monitoring agency said on Friday it had added jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's network of regional campaign offices to a list of organisations involved in "terrorism and extremism". Allies of Navalny said on Thursday they were disbanding the network as the authorities sought to ban them.
