Huawei to Shake Up Exec Ranks in 2020 as Trump Curbs Bite Deeper

Image
(Bloomberg) -- Huawei Technologies Co. will overhaul its executive ranks next year after revenue growth slowed further in the latter half of 2019, when U.S. sanctions spooked more customers and suppliers around the globe.China’s biggest technology company recorded an 18% rise in sales to 850 billion yuan ($120 billion) this year, down from about 23% in the first half and missing its own internal targets. Huawei should brace for a similar hit in 2020 if the White House maintains curbs on the sale of software and circuitry it needs, like essential Android phone apps, Rotating Chairman Eric Xu said in a memo to Huawei’s 190,000 employees.Huawei went to a war footing after the Trump administration blacklisted the Chinese goliath in May, labeling it a threat to U.S. national security. In response, Huawei mobilized thousands of engineers to develop alternatives to crucial U.S. components and keep its factories humming, while appealing to domestic users to drive 16.5% growth in shipments to 2...

U.K. Farmers Get $3.8 Billion Over Two Years to Offset EU Exit

Image
(Bloomberg) -- U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid said the government will provide 2.9 billion pounds ($3.8 billion) of funding over two years to support farmers as Britain leaves the European Union.The assistance will ensure that farmers receive the same funding next year as they did from direct payments from an EU subsidy program this year, the government said in an emailed statement.“When we leave the EU and are freed from the Common Agricultural Policy, we will be able to support our vital rural communities -- who are a cornerstone of life in the U.K. -- with a fairer and less bureaucratic system,” Javid said in the statement. “Farmers can enter the New Year with confidence that they have our backing and will be able to thrive after Brexit.”The funding will be available to farmers starting in late 2020, as in previous years, according to the statement.Many U.K. farms aren’t viable without payments from the EU’s CAP system, which accounted for 61% of the average farmer’s i...

Asia Inc.’s Debt Level Is Rising Again, But That’s a Good Thing

Image
(Bloomberg) -- The financial gearing of Asia Pacific’s largest companies has risen for a second year following a period of deleveraging, but market participants don’t see cause for alarm.The median total debt-to-total equity for non-financial companies in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index reached about 44% in the first nine months of 2019. That is slightly higher than the 41% seen in 2007, before the global financial crisis. Still, for many analysts, a low interest-rate environment, healthy cash balances and a favorable global economic outlook provide reassurance.“We have a benign outlook for interest rates, and the big thing in 2020 is that governments in Asia will start using their country balance sheets to start stimulating the economy,” said Jim McCafferty, joint head of Nomura’s Asia-Pacific equity research.Falling interest rates globally have meant access to cheap financing for companies that want to expand through investments and acquisitions, or fund share buybacks.
