| Israel's jobless rate leaps as the counting changes Posted: JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's move to bring its economic statistics in line with leading Western countries has led to a far bleaker picture of its jobs market, undermining claims that the country is riding through the global crisis with relative ease. The Central Bureau of Statistics on Monday unveiled a new employment survey - a reworking of past surveys - that showed a first-quarter jobless rate of 6.7 percent. It compared with fourth-quarter rate of 5.4 percent using the old system, a number that was touted at the time as being the lowest level in three decades. ... |
| Energy Transfer Partners to buy Sunoco for $5.3 billion Posted: (Reuters) - Pipeline operator Energy Transfer Partners LP said it will buy Sunoco Inc for $5.3 billion in stock and cash to get into the more lucrative crude oil transportation business as natural gas prices stay weak. Oil and gas production from shale formations in the United States has surged over the past two years, creating a scramble to build infrastructure to get supplies to refining hubs. The resulting oversupply has sent natural gas prices to their lowest in a decade and made drilling in so-called "dry gas" fields uneconomical. ... |

| Once poster child of crisis, Iceland recovers Posted: GRINDAVIK, Iceland (Reuters) - In this small Icelandic village, sailors are making double their pre-crisis pay, haddock sales to places like Boston and Brussels are booming and unemployment is almost zero - signs of this island's surprisingly rapid rise from the ashes of banking ruin. While much of Europe wallows in recession, the economy of this volcanic island in the mid Atlantic is growing at a clip that has surprised many people, thanks to a currency fall - in which the crown lost almost half its value to the euro - an export and tourism boom as well as growing consumer confidence. ... |
| Buffett's cancer to be No. 1 topic at Berkshire meeting Posted: (Reuters) - Warren Buffett is not one to talk much about his personal life in public, but his prostate cancer may dominate the conversation this weekend when his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway convenes its annual shareholder meeting. The event dubbed "Woodstock for Capitalism" draws more than 40,000 shareholders to Omaha, Nebraska's convention center for a weekend of festivities, the highlight of which being the questions Buffett takes from investors.

| Former Greek bank chief jailed in anti-fraud drive Posted: ATHENS (Reuters) - A former bank chief was sentenced to eight years jail on Monday for fraud and forgery, court officials said, the first major conviction resulting from an anti-corruption drive ahead of a parliamentary election on Sunday.

| Malaysia Felda Global's over $3 billion IPO by end-June: sources Posted: KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia's state-owned Felda Global Ventures Holdings is likely to make its IPO at the end of June, according to two sources, in what is expected to raise more than $3 billion and be one of the biggest flotations in the world this year. The third-largest oil palm plantation operator by planted area has started offering its initial public offering (IPO) shares to indigenous "Bumiputra" investors at an indicative price of 4.65 ringgit ($1.53) a share, two officials with direct knowledge of the matter, told Reuters on Monday. ... |

| For businesses in China, a minefield of bribery risks Posted: SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Foreign companies doing business in China must navigate a business culture in which bribery is rife, finding ways to remove obstacles to expanding in the world's second-largest economy without running afoul of local or home-country laws. Especially in areas such as dealing with local officials in charge of permits, it is still common for bribes, whether cash or illegal gifts, to be expected in return for providing the necessary approvals, industry and legal experts say. For U.S. ... |
| Loews beats estimates on CNA Financial income Posted: (Reuters) - Hotels, energy and financial services conglomerate Loews Corp posted higher-than-expected quarterly results, helped by an increase in investment income at its biggest holding CNA Financial . For the first quarter, net income attributable to Loews — run by the billionaire Tisch family — was $367 million, or 92 cents per share, compared with $379 million, or 92 cents per share, from a year ago.

| German retail sales see modest rise in March Posted: BERLIN (Reuters) - German retail sales rose less than expected in March, preliminary data showed on Monday, raising concerns about the support that private consumption can provide for the German economy in a period of flagging global demand. The notoriously volatile retail sales indicator was up 0.8 percent in March on a monthly basis in real terms, below a consensus forecast for a rise of 1.0 percent. On an annual basis, however, retail sales rose 2.3 percent, well above a forecast 0.5 percent rise. ... |
| Williams sees no need for further Fed action: paper Posted: FRANKFURT (Reuters) - San Francisco Federal Reserve President John Williams is more optimistic about the U.S. economy now than he was three months ago and does not see the need for further monetary measures at the moment, he was quoted on Monday as saying. Williams told German financial daily Handelsblatt in an interview published on Monday that if U.S. unemployment stayed at 8 percent or rose substantially and growth slowed, then this would raise the question about further monetary measures. ... |
