  • George Soros

    George Soros, arguably the world’s most famous financial speculator is taking a major stake in the flotation of a Spanish property group, reflecting an increase in confidence in Spain and other Southern European countries.
    Soros and fellow hedge fund manager John Paulson have taken €92m stakes in Hispania Activos Inmobiliarios according to the Financial Times.
    Hispania is seeking to list on the Madrid Stock Exchange as a real estate investment trust (REIT), focusing on property in key cities.  It is targeting a double-digit returns over a six-year period.
    If Hispania succeeds, it will be only the second property company to float in Spain since the crisis began.
    Soros and Paulson follow Microsoft founder Bill Gates who invested €113.5 million in Spanish construction company Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC) in October last year.
    George Soros is known as the “Man Who Broke the Bank of England” because of his short sale of US$10 billion worth of pounds, giving him a profit of $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis. In those days $1 billion was a lot of money!
  • Emir of Qatar buys six Greek islands for £7m

    The islands are part of a small archipelago known as the Echinades, a couple of miles from Ithaca, a famous site in Homer’s Odyssey.

    They first caught the eye of the emir, 56-year-old Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, when he moored his super-yacht nearby whilst on holiday four years ago.

    The £4.2million deal for Oxia, the largest of the islands at 1,200 acres, was agreed last year but had been held up by delays in obtaining land use permits from Greek forestry officials, according to the Financial Times.

    Ithaca’s Greek-American mayor, Ioannis Kassianos, said: “When you buy an island, even if you are the emir of Qatar, it takes a year and a half for all the paperwork to go through.”

    The emir also agreed a £3m deal last week for a further five islands nearby with David Grivas, whose family has owned them since the inception of modern Greece, the Guardian reported.

  • DNA shows ancient ship carried olive oil, oregano

    DNA scraped from inside clay vessels show that a ship that sank off the coast of Greece 2,400 years ago was carrying a cargo of olive oil, oregano, and probably wine, researchers reported on Friday. The new research may offer a way to analyze the long-gone contents of hundreds of containers, said Brendan Foley of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

  • Τουριστική βίζα για εργασία μεταξύ Ελλάδας-Αυστραλίας

    Μια πολύ σημαντική συμφωνία για τη νέα γενιά μεταναστών βρίσκεται στα σκαριά μεταξύ Ελλάδας και Αυστραλίας. Σύμφωνα με την νέα Γενική Πρόξενο της Ελλάδας στη Μελβούρνη, Χριστίνα Σημαντηράκη, σύντομα οι δυο χώρες θα υπογράψουν διακρατική συμφωνία που θα επιτρέπει σε νέους ηλικίας 18 με 20 ετών να ταξιδεύουν στις δυο χώρες να διαμένουν έως και 12 μήνες και στο διάστημα αυτό να μπορούν να εργαστούν. «Από ελληνικής πλευράς, οι διαδικασίες έχουν ολοκληρωθεί και σύντομα θα γίνουν κάποιες ανακοινώσεις. Πολύ σύντομα» δήλωσε.

    Έρευνες που πραγματοποιήθηκαν τα τελευταία χρόνια και παρουσιάζονται σε διεθνή μέσα ενημέρωσης δείχνουν πως η Αυστραλία αναδεικνύεται ως ο πρώτος προορισμός των Ελλήνων που θέλουν να φύγουν από τη χώρα τους ελέω οικονομικής κρίσης. Χαρακτηριστικό της έρευνας είναι το γεγονός πως το τελευταίο εξάμηνο του 2011 όπου η Ελλάδα βρισκόταν στην “καρδιά” της οικονομικής ύφεσης οι Έλληνες που επισκέφθηκαν την Αυστραλία -είτε ως επισκέπτες, είτε ως φοιτητές ή ως επίδοξοι εργαζόμενοι- είχαν αυξηθεί σε σχέση με το παρελθόν κατά 21%.

    Βελτίωση στο Ελληνικό Προξενείο

    Οσον αφορά στο δικό της έργο η κα. Σημαντηράκη τόνισε ότι είναι αποφασισμένη να βελτιώσει τις υπηρεσίες του Γενικού Προξενείου της Μελβούρνης. «Η βελτίωση των υπηρεσιών είναι κύριος στόχος μου» λέει και συμπληρώνει: «Έτσι θα βελτιωθεί και θα ενισχυθεί και η εμπιστοσύνη που έχουν οι Έλληνες πολίτες στο προξενείο και στην ελληνική Πολιτεία την οποία εμείς εκπροσωπούμε». Κύριο μέλημα, μεταξύ άλλων, είναι η βελτίωση της ιστοσελίδας του Προξενείου ώστε να μπορεί να παρέχει καλύτερη ενημέρωση.
