Riscos crescentes no crédito à habitação na Grã-Bretanha

A correção nos preços das casas britânicas teve o mais rápido crescimento de risco citado pelos bancos numa pesquisa publicada pelo Banco da Inglaterra (BoE) na passada segunda-feira . A última pesquisa semestral do banco central de ameaças económicas vistas pelos bancos, construtoras, seguradoras e gestores de ativos destaca o impacto de baixas taxas de juro sobre os preços das casas que têm subido acentuadamente. Aumentou a perceção de risco em torno dos preços dos imóveis. As preocupações surgem concentradas quase exclusivamente no mercado residencial, onde se foca o risco numa eventual correção dos preços das casas. De acordo com o BoE, não existe bolha imobiliária . O BoE informa que as duas maiores preocupações entre os bancos e outros players do setor financeiro se concentra nos níveis de dívida pública na Europa e nos Estados Unidos e a ameaça de uma recessão económica. fonte: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/news/2012/nr161.pdf

Redução dos 24 meses de fidelização contratual.

O mercado das telecomunicações, no seu estado atual, não permite aos consumidores beneficiar das várias ofertas disponíveis.  A principal razão é a imposição pelos operadores de períodos contratuais mínimos de 24 meses e de penalizações pelo seu incumprimento. 24 Meses é um período excessivo e desincentivador da mudança de operador, penalizando os consumidores, não só porque impede novas e melhores ofertas, mas também porque não responde aos desafios da sociedade portuguesa atual. Paralelamente, sempre que o consumidor tenta mudar de operador durante este período mínimo, são lhe cobrados encargos desproporcionados.
