Business Management

What is corporate governance?

Business is looking through people (such as institutional directors, managers, producers, consultants and experts) to improve productivity and overall competitiveness of companies or businesses. Optimal management is not looking only to make things better; the most important thing is to make good things better and in this sense it is necessary to identify the factors that influence the success for better management performance.

Australia New Zealand Bank (ANZ Bank)

ANZ, one of the largest banks in Australia, has expanded its commodities trading in China, hoping that Beijing's measures will boost growth and revive the country's appetite for energy and metals prices rise. This was the motive of the company as explained by a company executive in Asia. Australia and New Zealand Banking (ANZ Bank) Group is also considering entering iron ore operations, while increasing its presence in India, which began operations in commodities last year, which is their highest priority, "said Geoff Clear, chief executive and chief raw materials in Asia.

The bank operates agricultural raw materials, precious and base metals, oil, coal, electricity and carbon emissions. The gold and agricultural products together account for about 60 percent of the portfolio of commodities at ANZ, while coal is between 15 and 20 percent, and oil accounts for about 5 percent.

Copper has more than doubled in value this year, up about 110 percent to $ 6,420 per tonne on the London Metal Exchange, but is still 28 percent below the record price of $ 8940 he played in July 2010.

History of Microfinance Expedition

Over the past several decades, microfinance, broadly defined as financial services to poor and low-income clients, has become an increasingly important tool for governments, multilateral agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to address poverty. Initially, for example, with Banco Sol in Bolivia, the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, and Bank Rakyat of Indonesia, microfinance was focused primarily on microcredit, small loans to poor people. The basic idea was to extend credit to poor people who do not have access to finance, enabling them to help themselves. In designing products for the poor, the industry has made substantial innovations in the practices used in lending. In addition, some microfinance institutions (MFIs) now offer ...
