Euro 2012 Projects are the Main Part of Ukraine-China 4 Billion USD Investment Agreements

Euro 2012 Projects are the Main Part of Ukraine-China 4 Billion USD Investment Agreements

PR Newswire — September 3, 2010

KYIV, Ukraine, September 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — The main result of the state visit of the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, to the People’s Republic of China is China’s commitment to invest more than 4 billion USD in the infrastructure projects in Ukraine. The projects for EURO 2012 have been the focus of the investment agreements signed during the state visit.

The major investment projects include 1 billion USD for the high-speed railway road to Kyiv-Boryspil airport, the country’s main air gateway and 700 mln USD for the construction of a steam-gas plant in Crimea. Additionally, China is going to provide Ukraine with an oil off-shore drilling station worth 200 mln USD according to a leasing agreement.

The construction of the high-speed railway connecting the main Ukrainian airport to the rail station comes in a framework of the previously signed agreement between China National Machinery Industry Complete Engineering Corporation (CMCEC) and the authorities of Kyiv-Boryspil airport. Among other Chinese investors are China Road Bridge Corporation and China Eximbank.

As the attention of many European countries towards Ukraine’s preparations for the Euro-2012 Football Championship is increasing, the Ukrainian government is making additional efforts to attract foreign investors. To improve the investment climate, the Ukrainian government has approved new legislation and launched a campaign to curb corruption. During the recent several months, a number of senior officials were arrested on corruption charges.

In July of this year, law on public-private partnership was adopted. According to the law, foreign businesses, which are involved in public-private partnerships in Ukraine, enjoy the national regime for investment and business activities and have additional guarantees protecting their investment.

After the financial crisis of 2008-2009, Ukraine’s economy has started reviving. Ukraine’s GDP has grown by 6.3% in the first half of 2010. There is also increase in industrial production, cargo turnover and construction. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development confirmed its forecast for Ukraine’s GDP growth at 4% in 2010, and improved it for 2011 from 4% to 4.1%. Inflation forecast for 2010 is 11.4% and 11% for 2011. Budget deficit will decrease to 6% of the GDP in 2010, which is an improvement in comparison to 6.4% of the GDP in 2009.

Ely Comes to the Rescue of Limerick Student Accommodation Complex

Ely Comes to the Rescue of Limerick Student Accommodation Complex

PR Newswire — September 3, 2010

DUBLIN, September 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — The Directors of Ely Property Group, the Dublin based student accommodation group, are delighted to announce that the Company has taken over the management of the 180 bed Troy Student Village serving the University of Limerick. The move follows the complex being placed into receivership in mid August after the collapse of Clare developer, Bellisle Properties.

Under the agreement reached with the Receiver, Brian McEnery of Horwarth Bastow Charleton Accountants in Limerick, Ely Property Group will now be responsible for stabilizing the income from the complex and for the ongoing management of the student village.

Philip Marley, Ely Property CEO, commented:

“We are delighted to be taking over this unit and first off want to assure any students that were renting the accommodation last term that they will be able to reclaim any deposits still owed to them by the former landlord. We also want to assure students that the Troy Village Complex will be open for the coming academic year and bookings can now be made.”

Ely Property is Ireland’s largest student property management company, operating over 1350 beds in Ireland and the UK.

Philip Marley added:

“Where exceptional value opportunities present themselves in the Irish student property market, we will be delighted to take them on. However, these are more likely to be where there is a single owner of a scheme, rather than multi-landlord situations. We nevertheless remain focused on continuing to expand our presence in the UK.”

Ely recently announced that it had successfully completed EUR17.9 million of refinancing on three of its major developments in the UK and Ireland.

Top Tips for Cheap Student Living

Learning on a Shoe-String: Top Tips for Cheap Student Living

PR Newswire — September 3, 2010

YORK, England, September 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — One of the biggest challenges you’ll face as a student is money management. Staying in control of your finances at university will allow you to enjoy all the other aspects of student life. It will also stand you in good stead for the future too.

One of the main expenses at university is your accommodation. Price and quality vary hugely, but there is something out there to suit everyone’s taste and budget.

UNITE are the UK’s leading provider of student accommodation at http://www.unite-students.com. They offer a wide range of accommodation in 24 cities across the UK, to suit varying budgets and expectations. And because all room prices are inclusive of utility bills, internet access and contents insurance, there are no hidden costs for residents.

If you’re on a tight budget, here are some useful tips from UNITE on how to be smart with your cash.

- Location – Consider location vs. price carefully. You might feel like you’re getting a bargain by opting for a cheaper area, but think about the added cost of travelling to and from uni or the city centre ( http://www.unite-students.com/student-accommodation-UK?)

- Getting around – Depending on the location of the accommodation you choose, getting around can be expensive. Weekly or monthly travel cards can shave pounds off your travel expenses. Don’t forget to see if there are student discounts – a Student Rail Card will save a third on rail fares.

- Utility bills and internet access – Find out if the accommodation provider includes these in the rent price. If not, work out how much it will cost in advance so you can budget accordingly. Make use of price comparison sites to get the best deals ( http://www.unite-students.com/clearing/index.html)

- Go green – You can implement some simple measures to become more energy efficient – and you’ll notice a saving if you pay monthly utility bills. Try turning your lights off when you leave a room, use off-peak electricity by setting your washing machine to come on at night and only boil as much water as you need.

- Get insured – Contents insurance is essential, so check if this is covered by your accommodation provider. For example, UNITE’s prices are inclusive of contents insurance. Always check what the policy covers as often you will need to upgrade the policy to cover personal items such as laptops. Companies such as Endsleigh provide contents insurance specifically for students.

- Savvy shopper – Consider clubbing together with your flatmates to do food shops as buying in bulk is often cheaper. Don’t always go for ‘buy one get one free’ deals or special offers on multiple items – you could end up paying out for items that go out of date or you just won’t use (http://www.unite-students.com/student-homes/unite-partners)

- Simple savings – Make sure you sign up for your NUS card as soon as you enrol at your university. It entitles you to lots of discounts on everything from cinema tickets to money off with retailers including Topshop, Amazon, Play.com

- House Proud – You don’t need to spend lots of money to get your place looking good. Make it your own with throws, cheap plants and photo montages. You might also find some retro gems in your parent’s attic.

Students can browse, organise viewings, view virtual tours and book rooms online by visiting http://www.unite-students.com or find out more by calling +44- (0)800-783-4213.
