BERLIN — World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee on Monday unveiled a "Contract for the Web" to halt "misuse" by governments, companies and individuals, bringing several capitals and tech titans like Google aboard."If we don't act now – and act together – to prevent the web being misused by those who want to exploit, divide and undermine, we are at risk of squandering" its potential for good, Berners-Lee said in a statement from his World Wide Web Foundation.Credited with laying the groundwork for the web – the universe of multimedia webpages accessible via the internet – in 1989, the computer scientist has since last year been developing the so-called Contract for the Web.His unveiling of the final document Monday comes as government, business...

S. Africa urgently needs reforms as risks surge: IMF
JOHANNESBURG — The International Monetary Fund has urged more "decisive" reforms to boost private investment in South Africa, forecasting economic growth to remain sluggish for a sixth consecutive year in 2020.The African continent's most industrialized country has been dogged by high and rising debt, low growth and record-high unemployment over the last decade."A more decisive approach to reform is urgently needed," an IMF team said at the end of their visit."Impediments to growth have to be removed, vulnerabilities addressed, and policy buffers rebuilt," it said."Expediting structural reform implementation is the only way to sustainably boost private investment and inclusion," it said.The statement issued late Monday said while South...

US consumer confidence dips
NEW YORK — Consumer confidence in the US dipped in November, falling again during a period that includes part of the critical holiday shopping season, according to a report Tuesday.The Conference Board's index declined to 125.5 in November from 126.1, missing analyst expectations. It was the fourth straight monthly decline.The survey showed a fall in consumers' appraisal of current-day conditions in November, partly offset by a modest improvement in consumer expectations about the next six months.The drop in the view of current conditions suggests growth in the fourth quarter of 2019 will be "weak," but "overall confidence levels are still high and should support solid spending during the holiday season," said Lynn Franco, senior director of economic...

Bangladesh to shut brick kilns as air quality worsens
DHAKA — Bangladesh said Tuesday it will shut hundreds of soot-belching brick kilns around its capital Dhaka as part of measures to reduce thick smog enveloping the city and pushing air quality levels to among the world's worst.Residents in several other cities in South Asia, including India's capital New Delhi and Lahore in Pakistan, have also been breathing toxic smog in recent weeks amid uncontrolled emissions and crop burning.Air Visual, an independent online air quality index (AQI) monitor, pegged Dhaka's air quality as the poorest in the world on Monday."The situation is very critical. Just a few days ago air quality of Dhaka was the third or fourth worst in the world. But now it tops the ranking," Environment Minister Mohammad Shahab Uddin told reporters.Uddin...

Audi to slash 9,500 jobs in Germany by 2025
FRANKFURT — German luxury carmaker Audi said Tuesday it planned to slash 9,500 jobs in Germany by 2025 as part of a massive overhaul to help finance a costly switch to electric vehicles.The job cuts will be achieved through an early retirement program and natural turnover at its two German plants, the company said in a statement.At the same time, the Volkswagen subsidiary said it would create 2,000 new jobs in the areas of electromobility and digitization as it pivots to the smarter, cleaner cars of tomorrow.The shake-up comes as Audi, like other carmakers, grapples with slowing demand in a weaker global economy, tougher pollution rules and the huge investments needed for the battery-powered era."In times of upheaval, we are making Audi more agile and more efficient," said CEO...

Coal power set for record fall in 2019
PARIS — Global coal-fired power, a key driver of climate change, is set to fall a record 3.0 percent this year, largely led by developed countries although much-criticized China and India play their part too, analysis showed Monday.This "historic" drop would be equal to 300 Terawatt hours (TWh), or more than the combined coal-based electricity output of Germany, Spain and Britain last year, the UK-based Carbon Brief website said.The turnaround is largely due to "record falls in developed countries, including Germany, the EU overall and South Korea, which are not being matched by increases elsewhere.""The largest reduction is taking place in the US, as several large coal-fired power plants close," it added.For 2017-2918, falls in the US and the European Union...

GCC banks outlook ‘stable’
DUBAI — The outlook for GCC banks remains stable, underpinned by solid economic growth, and by the banks’ strong capital buffers and substantial liquidity, Moody’s Investors Service said in a presentation published Monday.“Government spending programs will push average non-hydrocarbon GDP growth to 2.6% in 2020, providing favourable operating conditions for the region’s banks,” said Nitish Bhojnagarwala, VP-Senior Credit Officer at Moody’s. “Declining interest rates will start to pressure banks’ net interest margins but margins will remain strong compared with global peers.”Loan performance will weaken modestly but will remain solid. New problem loans will form primarily in the slowing construction and real-estate sector. Moody’s expects non-performing loans to stand...
