SK Hynix To Join Bid For Toshiba Chip Business, Say Media Reports

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

South Korean semi-conductor chip maker SK Hynix (000660.KR) is set to join a bid for Toshiba’s semiconductor business, according to media reports.

Reuters has picked up a story in Japan’s Asahi newspaper which says SK Hynix will lend 300 billion yen to a joint bid led by the Japanese government’s Ministry for the Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). Here are the details:

Japan’s government is assembling a Japan-South Korea-U.S. consortium in a last-minute bid for Toshiba Corp’s (6502.JP) prized semiconductor business, countering a $20 billion offer from U.S. chipmaker Broadcom Ltd, the Asahi newspaper said on Wednesday.

The new bid, being arranged by the Ministry for the Economy, Trade and Industry, groups government lenders Development Bank of Japan and Innovation Network Corp of Japan. It would exceed the 2 trillion yen ($18 billion) minimum sought by struggling Toshiba, the newspaper said, citing an unnamed source.

INCJ, DBJ and U.S. private equity firm Bain Capital LP would each invest 300 billion yen in a special-purpose company to buy Toshiba Memory Corp. Toshiba itself would contribute up to 100 billion yen and other Japanese firms a combined 140 billion yen, while U.S. investment firm KKR & Co LP is considering putting in 100 billion yen, the Asahi said.

South Korea’s SK Hynix Inc would lend 300 billion yen to the project and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ 400 billion yen, it said.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
The past two declines in real estate lasted 5 months. This one is expected to last longer.

According to the China Economic Net on June 12 disclosure, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Finance and Strategy, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences City and Competitiveness Research Center, “China Housing Development Report” project team released in May “Monthly Analysis of Housing Market Development Report” , With the tightening of funds, as well as local governments on housing investment needs, especially cross-regional housing investment in the joint control, most cities short-term gains will be suppressed, pre-housing prices rose too fast, the larger bubbles such as Beijing Short-term will continue to fall.

…Evergreen real estate Yang Hongxu that the past two rounds of short cycle of experience, the financial environment indicators are not bottomed out, the sales growth will not rebound, or will not be achieved by the negative positive. The past two rounds of sales growth continued for five quarters. This round is expected to last longer may be longer.

The property market will be fully cooled

For the next property market trend, Centaline Property Chief Analyst Zhang Dawei is expected:

1. The cost of home buyers capital has continued to rise, has gradually completed from the amount to qualitative change process, the pressure of loans is growing. The current market turnover has been a comprehensive cooling, prices began to appear.

2. The prices are gradually adjusted. In this case, the bank’s risk increases, the bank’s awareness of the risk of collateral will increase, banks are expected to continue to tighten the amount of real estate and raise the price of real estate loans.

And in the past two years, most banks have absorbed too much real estate collateral. In this case, the mortgage has been tightened during the control cycle, loan discounts have been reduced, and lending time has been significantly extended. These are superimposed real estate control policies to play a regulatory effect.

3. Historically, the most stringent degree of Beijing credit is in 2011 and 2014 part of the time point, the first suite to restore the benchmark, the psychological impact on the buyers will be very large. The recent benchmarking will be the most stringent policy on the history of Beijing’s mortgage loans. From the regulatory trend, the expected tightening trend of credit, the real estate cooling will continue.

Yang Hongxu that:

The first half of the current round of real estate regulation and control, from the key role is that some hot areas of the purchase, limit, limit loans, resale and other real estate policy. The next six months, the key factors, will be transformed into monetary credit and liquidity tightening, which belongs to the real estate industry’s external environment.

Protecting Against ‘Friendly Fire’ Security Risks

http://ift.tt/2rloncY

It won’t come as a surprise to anyone working in corporate IT that not all security threats come from unknown hackers in Russia or Indonesia (or the USA, for that matter). It’s also necessary to protect from threats posed by trusted sources who are handed everyday access to the network, such as employees and vendors. A report issued today, “The Secure Access Threat Report 2017,” by Bomgar, a company specializing in secure access control, indicates that insider and third-party access are growing security threats facing enterprise IT systems.
