Paris, France (AHN) – France registered an inflation rate of 2.4 percent in August, up from 2.1 percent in July.
It is the fastest rate of increase in almost three years following the jump in prices of manufactured goods and cost of energy. The 2.4 percent consumer price index rate was higher than economists’ expectation of 2.2 percent.
The rate was calculated on a harmonized European Union method.
Manufacturing goods prices rose 1.6 percent and energy prices went up 0.4 percent. However, food prices went down 0.2 percent due to a seasonal drop in fresh produce prices.
The European Central Bank raised key lending rates two times in 2011, but last week said the risk of recession is greater than the threat from inflation.
First Bank of Nigeria plc (FirstBank) has reported its unaudited financial results for the first nine months of 2011, including gross earnings of N211.2bn.

Net interest income was up by 33%, year-on-year, to N118.9bn, with operating income up 38% to N179.7bn.
Pre-tax profits were up by 20% from N40.7bn to N49bn, and up from N35.7bn in the first six months of 2011.
Profits after tax were up by 32% from N32.6bn to N42.2bn, exceeding the 23% rise in biannual net profits the firm recorded in the first six months of the year (N31.3bn).
The bank also recorded a Tier 1 capital ratio of 15.4%, flat with the same period last year, and a total capital adequacy ratio of 17.5%, 0.5% higher than the same time last year.

I came across an article on Yahoo, revealing interesting information regarding JP Morgan Chase and the Bank of Canada. James Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, launched a tirade against the Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney in a closed door meeting in front of more than 2 dozen bankers and finance officials.
A tirade is a prolonged outburst of bitter, outspoken denunciation.
