The bipartisan Energy Savings Performance Caucus was formed in 2011 to promote the use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs) by federal agencies. These contracts allow private firms to implement energy efficiency upgrades with repayment coming from a portion of the savings over 25 years. While the caucus shows bipartisan support for energy efficiency, its goals face challenges due to Republican opposition to new spending and sequestration cuts impacting relevant programs. The caucus aims to present the contracts as a cost-effective job creation strategy, but questions remain around their true long-term costs and oversight of contractors.
The document discusses the privatization of Queensland's public assets in power and water. It notes over 1660 job cuts in the electricity sector since 2012, increased prices, and contradictions between the government saying it won't sell assets without mandate while pursuing privatization. It summarizes reports showing privatization fails economically and how profits could benefit customers without selling assets. It details job cuts and reviews recommending privatizing parts of Ergon and SunWater. The document concludes that assets are under threat of privatization by outsourcing and job cuts and that selling assets is a bad policy that fails socially and economically.

This document discusses the risks of interest rate swaps that became apparent during the financial crisis of 2008. It outlines four major risks: counterparty risk when financial institutions like Lehman Brothers and AIG faced difficulties; basis risk when bond rates increased due to problems in the banking sector; rollover risk as the crisis eliminated providers of liquidity facilities; and collateral posting risk as rates moved beyond historical norms. Charts show the increases in Treasury yields and swap spreads during this period. The conclusion recommends issuing fixed rate bonds and swapping to a floating rate to avoid risks associated with bank support.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
