Foreign investment continues to rise
Article Abstract:
Foreign investment in Eastern and Central Europe should prove profitable during 1996-2001, according to a survey. Investment in the area grew by $6.19 billion during 1994-95. Poland has been the most profitable country for investors from abroad since the region opened up to foreign investment. Tobacco processing and banking in Poland received the largest amount of funds during the first half of 1996. Romania is predicted to become popular with investors as the government is embarking on a strategy to privatise many state owned companies, whilst Russia continues to show poor returns.

Article Abstract:

Leeds Financial Services Initiative (LFSI) aims to ensure that Leeds continues to meet the needs of the financial services sector, and to encourage others to move into the area. The LFSI's only non financial service members are education establishments, and it is seen as helping to raise awareness of what Leeds has to offer.

Reform to competition law in the pipeline
Article Abstract:
The UK government has announced plans to reform competition regulations. This move has been welcomed by the Labour party, which has pointed out that the government first announced reform plans in 1989. The plans include making cartels illegal, with companies making a loss as a result of a cartel being able to sue for damages. The Labour party has said that it will investigate the possibility of merging the MMC and the OFT.
