Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the UK
At the end of March the government was pleased to announce a 3% fall in greenhouse gas emissions for the period 2016-17. It would appear from the statistics that transport is the largest emitter in the UK, but does this reflect reality?

The LIBOR/ TIBOR ‘Scandal’
12 February 2013
The large fine imposed on RBS last week suggests that a ‘scandal’ took place in the banking world over the setting of LIBOR. Yes – there was probably systematic mis-pricing of LIBOR which enabled some traders and some banks to profit at the expense of others. But the LIBOR issue simply highlights a much wider problem in financial markets which is that many ‘prices’ quoted in markets are not market prices at all. Instead they are prices based on computer models, matrix pricing or sheer guesswork, which may or may not produce ‘accurate’ prices. The reason for using computers models and guesswork is that in many financial products there actually are no transactions at all or very few even over periods of some weeks or months and thus no market prices.
