British Economist: Much UK Energy Cost Rise is Due to Political Anti-Russia Sanctions_我的网站

一 |     8月25日消息，据上证报消息，8月24日，阿里巴巴宣布完成800亿港元（约102亿美元）新股配售定价，配售所得款项净额将100%用于投资全栈AI能力，加强AI基础设施建设。    The UK government has rolled out the Energy Bills Support Scheme, under which British households will start receiving £400 ($488) off their energy bills from October, with the discount made in six instalments to help families throughout the winter period.,However, the measure does not seem to be enough to save the day, given that Brits have found themselves caught between nearly two-digit inflation and soaring mortgage payments, according to Rodney Atkinson, an academic and political and economic commentator.,"Once the government lost control of monetary policy (or indeed deliberately printed money during COVID in order to debase its own debt) then there are no easy ways out," Atkinson said. "The British government has offered all households energy subsidies and those on support programs more. But now interest rates are rising and although this raises the value of the pound and reduces import and energy costs, the overall effect is more suffering. Mortgage costs and business debt costs have been rising for months.",Increasing energy bills all across Europe are whipping inflation up even further. On July 27, the Guardian made an attempt to blame reduced gas flows through Russia's Nord Stream 1 for the soaring energy prices, while shying away from shedding light on the energy embargo introduced by the US, the UK and the EU against Russia's hydrocarbons. The US and the UK have been in the vanguard of anti-Russia sanctions since Moscow launched its special military operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine on February 24, 2022.,"Because much of the rise in costs is due to the political anti-Russia sanctions; changes in monetary policy will have little effect and are not quick enough," emphasized Atkinson. "Only a retreat on oil sanctions by the EU will drive down oil prices (which is already happening). Biden and the EU’s attempts to persuade the Middle East producers of oil and gas to increase production were a failure.",Sunak Vows ‘Radical’ Income Tax Cut as Truss Team Accuses Ex-Chancellor of ‘Another U-Turn’1 August, 08:12 GMT,New British Cabinet Will Have a Lot on Its Plate,While the British government has pledged to slash at least part of Brit’s energy expenditures, the question arises as to where No. 10 will find this money, given that both Tory candidates for prime minister, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, have vowed to cut taxes considerably.,"In an election, the promises are all about cutting taxes and increasing expenditure - a very dangerous combination which is unsustainable," warned Atkinson. "There are many state subsidies and expenditures which could be cut (to justify the tax cuts) but no one likes to mention them. And Truss seems to be piling up ever more spending promises.",Still, it is clear that the new British cabinet will have to exert much effort to prevent people from taking to the streets. The British economist presumes that No. 10 "will have to offer greater subsidies to those caught by the high winter fuel prices.",Nonetheless, "the continuing high profitability of energy producers and energy utilities will further increase the public’s anger at big business and multi nationals who are also seen as not paying their fair share of tax," Atkinson projected.,"Voters are becoming more and more cynical but there are no politicians in any party capable of understanding the fundamental problem of state and corporate profit combined with voter weakness and consumer poverty," he underscored.。    据接近交易的消息人士称，本次配售获近3倍超额认购，超2000亿港元。主权和长线基金最终认购比例超40%，反响热烈，订单质量很高。     阿里AI投入清晰可见的回报路径，让全球长线资本对此次配售投出信任票。中东、欧洲、亚洲等地区的主要主权基金均积极参与了此次认购。    公告显示，中金公司、汇丰、摩根士丹利、瑞银为本轮新股配售的联席整体协调人、联席账簿管理人及联席配售代理，巴克莱、花旗、摩根大通为联席账簿管理人。    值得一提的是，据港交所最新信息显示，在阿里巴巴宣布800亿港元新股配售计划后，集团主席蔡崇信、CEO吴泳铭出手增持合计约1.2亿港元阿里股票，对公司AI战略投下信心票。     具体来看，蔡崇信以约112港元的均价买入72万股阿里巴巴港股，耗资约 8000万港元；吴泳铭以约111.6 港元均价买入35万股，耗资约4000万港元。

二 | 二人合计增持107万股港股，总投入约1.2 亿港元。    公开资料显示，阿里巴巴近年持续加大AI投入，构建起涵盖算力、芯片、模型、应用的全栈AI布局。    最新财报显示，阿里AI相关产品年化收入已突破495亿元人民币，预计下季度达到100亿美元，预计2030年阿里云外部商业化收入将达1000亿美元，利润率达20%。管理层预计AI资本开支2至3年即可收回。    与此同时，过去几年阿里已累计回购注销约11%的股份，以提升股东回报。
