La hausse des prix à la consommation s'éloigne ainsi provisoirement de l'objectif de 2% fixé par l'institution monétaire. Le...

You have a 15-character password, shield the ATM as you enter your PIN, close the door when you meet with your banker, and shred your financial statements. But do you truly have financial privacy? Or has someone else been sitting silently in the room with you this whole time? While you might feel you have secured your financial information, the government has very much wedged its way into the room. Financial privacy has practically vanished over the last 50 years.
