Growth stocks increase their sales by a double-digit percentage, are concerned with gobbling up market share, and aren't too focused on generating a profit. Meanwhile, value stocks are companies that have forward price-to-earnings multiples or price-to-earnings-growth ratios (PEG ratio) below the average of their industry or the broader market.
LONDON — The chairman of Britain's cronyism watchdog says the public should be given a “full and frank” explanation as to how a senior civil servant held down a part-time job with a now-bankrupt financial firm that won lucrative government contracts. The revelations about Bill Crothers are the latest in a tide of information about links between Greensill Capital, a financial services firm that collapsed last month, and former British Prime Minister David Cameron, other government ministers and civil servants. Greensill Capital's bankruptcy threatens thousands of jobs at a British steelmaker the firm helped finance. Earlier this week, it emerged that Crothers, who oversaw government purchasing, began working as a part-time adviser to Greensill’s board in September 2015, two months before he left his job as the government’s chief commercial officer. Eric Pickles, who chairs the U.K.'s Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, said the public was “entitled” to know the arrangements for second roles approved by the Cabinet Office — the government body that helps co-ordinate policy between government and the civil service. “I mean, if Mr. Crothers had decided he wanted to have a milk round or something, I don’t think we would be terribly worried,” said Pickles, who was in Cameron's Conservative-led Cabinet during 2010-2015. “But his particular position, in terms of running procurement and working for a commercial organization, is something that does require a full and frank and transparent explanation,” he added. News reports over the last month revealed that Cameron had lobbied senior government officials on behalf of the finance firm founded by Australian banker Lex Greensill, himself a former adviser to Cameron’s government. Greensill Capital was given a lucrative role in “supply chain finance” arrangements that saw it pay contractors on behalf of the government before receiving reimbursement from the Treasury. The system was designed to expedite payments to contractors, including pharmacies supplying the National Health Service, but critics say the government should just have paid the contractors directly. Cameron, who quit as prime minister in 2016 after U.K. voters opted to withdraw from the European Union, also worked as a part-time adviser to Greensill in 2018 and held shares in the company. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government defeated an opposition effort to force a parliamentary inquiry into allegations of cronyism and improper lobbying. It has launched its own investigation, led by a lawyer, but opponents doubt it will get to the truth. However, the House of Commons’ influential cross-party Treasury Select Committee announced that it would begin an investigation next week into Greensill’s collapse and the “appropriateness” of the U.K. Treasury’s response to lobbying. The committee has the power to call witnesses, potentially including Cameron and Treasury chief Rishi Sunak. A spokesman for Cameron said he would respond “positively” to any request to give evidence in any of the inquiries once the terms of reference have been established. The Associated Press

Almost all new antibiotics brought to market in recent years are variations of drug classes discovered decades ago, according to a WHO report released on Thursday, underscoring just how insufficient they may be in tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Drug resistance is driven by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics and other antimicrobials, which encourages bacteria to evolve into "superbugs" and find new ways to beat the medicines. Out of the 43 antibiotics in development, the WHO said 26 drugs target the 13 most dangerous "superbugs".
While the inflation rate hasn't reached crisis levels since the early 1980s, the rising cost of select consumer items lately (like gasoline), as well as the massive increase in federal spending, has concerned some Americans that the rate may finally be on the rise. Whether or not it appears, preparation by investors for increased inflation can bring some peace of mind, and holding stocks such as Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX) can protect your portfolio. Amazon also cuts costs by investing in few physical stores and performing many of its own deliveries.

A carbon price that starts low and rises steadily could help Asian countries reach their targets under the Paris climate accord over the next decade, the head of the International Monetary Fund said on Thursday, citing new IMF research. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva told an event hosted by the People's Bank of China that there was a growing consensus that carbon pricing was the most efficient and cost-effective way to curbing emissions. By raising energy prices overall, carbon pricing creates incentives for households and firms to shift toward greener options, while promoting energy efficiency, boosting green investments and spurring innovation, she said.

Three members of an Iranian separatist group, the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz, were charged Thursday with financing and promoting terror in Iran with an unnamed Saudi intelligence service. The three, who were arrested in February 2020 in Ringsted, 60 kilometers (40 miles) southwest of Copenhagen, also were charged with illegal intelligence activity. “This is a very serious case where persons in Denmark have carried out illegal intelligence activities and financed and promoted terrorism from Denmark in other countries,” Nilas said.
