Media Digest
- Americans Delay Retirement As Housing, Stocks Swoon
(Editor: Personally, I think it’s a good thing. I never plan to retire.) The giant gray wave is still an inevitability. But it has run into a breakwall. Investment advisers and retirement planners at more than a dozen firms, including Charles Schwab Corp., Edward Jones and Merrill Lynch & Co., say they are seeing large numbers of older workers put off retirement as the housing and stock-market troubles have deepened. A recent Schwab survey of 1,006 financial advisers indicated that nearly a quarter of their clients are considering working longer specifically because of the economic fallout of the past 12 months.
- The new global menace: food inflation
Signs of stress are emerging just about everywhere else. Food riots have erupted in Egypt, Morocco, Senegal and Cameroon. In Thailand, rice farmers are sleeping in their fields to prevent thieves from stealing their crops. Numerous countries, including Argentina and Vietnam, have capped or taxed exports of key farm products in a bid to quell domestic inflation, running the risk of violating international trade rules. To ease growing shortages, the Philippine government has asked fast-food restaurants to serve less rice with meals to ease shortages. In Egypt, the price of many basic foods has spiked as much as 50 per cent in a matter of months. In Asia, where rice is part of virtually every meal, prices are rising almost daily.
- Food Price Inflation Changes How We Shop
(Editor: This too is a good thing. Ditch all that expensive processed food in favor of real meals. Most of us *should* eat a little less anyway.) Record-high energy, corn and wheat prices in the past year have led to sticker shock in the grocery aisles. At $1.32, the average price of a loaf of bread has increased 32 percent since January 2005. In the last year alone, the average price of carton of eggs has increased almost 50 percent. Ground beef, milk, chicken, apples, tomatoes, lettuce, coffee and orange juice are among the staples that cost more these days, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overall, food prices rose nearly 5 percent in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That means a pound of coffee, on average, cost 57 cents more at year’s end than in 2006. A 12-ounce can of frozen, concentrated orange juice now averages $2.53 — a 67-cent increase in just two years. And a carton of grade A, large eggs will set you back $2.17. That’s an increase of nearly $1 since February, 2006.

- Rumors Chill Iceland’s Banks
Iceland’s central bank chief has slammed unscrupulous traders for spreading rumors through the country’s banking system that forced default protection costs to soar. Luis Costa from Commerzbank considers Iceland’s banking industry.
- Paulson the plumber
Much of it will take the best part of a decade to see the light of day, if it ever does. Even the short-term recommendations face a rocky path to implementation. Yet a plan unveiled by America’s Treasury on Monday March 31st is an important first salvo in a fight over the future of financial regulation in the world’s biggest capital market.
- G7 to press big banks to reveal extent of credit crunch losses
The world’s big banks are to face stronger demands from finance ministers and central bankers of the Group of Seven (G7) leading economies to declare the full scale of their exposure to losses from the US housing market slump and the global credit crunch.
