Cooperatives head for the country
Article Abstract:
Svaz ceskych a moravskych spotrebnich druzstev (SCMSD) (Prague, Czech Republic), consumer cooperative association, wants to extend its trade activities in the country from 2000. Consumer cooperatives lost their position in the country in the middle of the 1990's consequent on restitutions and the closure of unprofitable shops. SCMSD expects its total proceeds to increase by 3-6% in 2000 compared to 1999. Its proceeds totalled 27.5 bil Kc in 2000, 1.33% less compared to 28.865 bil Kc in 1998. The growth of the 2000 proceeds should be supported by three newly set up trade networks, besides the existing chains Coop Terno and Coop Diskont. They are the supermarket network Terno and the shop networks Tip and Terno.

Country risk assessment: where to invest your money
Article Abstract:
Any potential change in the economic, political or social environment which could interfere with banking business is a risk that must be assessed. The loan payment event space (LPES) provides a new analytical framework for assessment of these risks. LPES provides a guideline for loan loss reserves and the required spread on new loans. The full range of possible outcomes define the LPES. To determine the value of doing business in a given country, assign probability for each outcome and compute the value of outstanding loans. The risk analysis also includes a shock response analysis and a visit to the country, which may be biased, depending on personal experiences during the trip.
