Europe lacks the data centres to train artificial intelligence models that match the current demand, an official from French AI company MistralAI warned today (14 June). “We are reaching the capacity; we need to build datacentres and ensure there is enough electricity for the scale of AI development today. There is a huge amount of work to be done,” Audrey Herblin-Stoop, Head of Public Affairs at MistralAI said at a conference organised by the European Court of Auditors (ECA). MistralAI, which was founded a year ago, used supercomputer facilities opened by the European Commission to train its ...

Getting the right to live and work in another country can be a long and difficult process. But that’s not always the case for those with money to spend. Golden visas offer the opportunity for wealthy people to essentially ‘buy’ the right to residency - sometimes without even having to live in the country. And their popularity in the European Union is growing as people look to move away from political decisions such as Brexit that may limit their rights. With the unsettled political and social environment in the US in recent years, applications for golden visas from Americans were also projecte...

UK retail investors are increasingly looking at trading in companies listing on US stock markets because of the fall in appeal of the London stock market over the past 10 years, the CMC Markets' report into retail trading trends has said. In recent times, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) seems to have been having difficulty persuading firms to launch their initial public offerings (IPOs) on the exchange. In 2023, the LSE saw only 24 IPOs, the lowest amount since 1995. Not only that, but fast-growing companies in the UK are also being forced to be ever more dependent on foreign investors. EU Ele...

Energy ministers meeting in Brussels voted unanimously today (May 30) for the EU to officially withdraw the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) while leaving open the possibility for member states to remain in their own capacity. Deciding on the bloc's future in the ECT was one of the commitments of the EU Belgian Presidency, the country’s energy minister Tinne Van Der Straeten told reporters today shortly before joining her counterparts at the Energy Council. Today’s decision followed a European Parliament vote last month signalling an overwhelming intention to quit the treaty. The ECT is a post-Cold...

The European Commission needs to invest more in artificial intelligence if it wants to achieve its ambitions and be on a par with the US and China, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) said in a report published today (29 May). The auditors, responsible for vetting EU finances, said that despite developing AI regulation – which will formally enter into force next month – the Commission failed to coordinate with the individual member states on AI policy and to systematically monitor investment. “Going forward, stronger governance and more – and better targeted – public and private investment wi...

Auf den einen günstigen Einstiegszeitpunkt an der Börse warten, um die Rendite zu verbessern? Damit sind Laien wie Profis nicht gut beraten, zeigen Studien. Denn den passenden Einstiegszeitpunkt gibt es eigentlich gar nicht. Viel wichtiger bei Börseninvestments ist der langfristige Anlagehorizont, teilt auch der Bundesverband Investment und Asset Management (BVI) mit. Denn über die Jahre wären in der Vergangenheit selbst größere Kursverluste nach einem rückblickend schlechten Einstiegszeitpunkt mehr als wett gemacht worden. Beispiel gefällig? Der BVI hat ausgerechnet, dass Investoren, die kurz...

Hargreaves Lansdown has rebuffed a takeover proposal worth £4.67 billion (€5.48 billion) made by a private equity consortium on 26 April. On Wednesday, the board of directors said they were unanimously opposed to the offer which values individual shares at 985p, claiming it "substantially undervalues" the business. The consortium includes buyers CVC Capital Partners, Nordic Capital, and Platinum Ivy, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund. The consortium's offer represents a 30% premium on Hargreaves Lansdown's share price of 755p at the end of April, although the stock's value has ...

When it comes to real estate investments, rental yield - defined as the annual return from renting out a property - is a critical metric. Higher rental yields indicate better returns on investment, crucial for any savvy investor. To illustrate, let's break down the numbers: purchasing a property for €500,000 and earning a monthly rent of €2,000 (or €24,000 annually) results in a gross annual rental yield of 4.8%. After accounting for taxes and other administrative expenses, the net yield will be lower. Consider Maria, an astute investor aiming to maximise her rental income in the European prop...

There are hopes of improvement for Europe's commercial property market, as a long-standing trend of decline showed a slowdown for the first three months of 2024. Although values were down, they fell by just 0.5% in the first quarter. That was an improvement on the previous quarter, which saw a drop of 3.4%, according to data from the Altus Group. "As we start off 2024, we're seeing encouraging signs in the European commercial property market, with commercial property value declines moderating significantly across all sectors," Altus Group's senior vice president Phil Tily wrote in the group's ...
