From Breakingviews: Pension reform in Mexico and Chile gets a coronavirus makeover, and UK chief executives catch a break during lockdown as the number of activist campaigns collapses. Catch up with the latest financial insights
Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador attends a news conference at the National Palace in Mexico City, Mexico February 18, 2020.SACRED COWPOX. Latin American pension reform is getting a pandemic makeover. Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador released a plan on Wednesday to boost the average retiree benefit by 40%, while ratcheting up employers’ contributions by roughly 270%.
PASSIVE ATTACK. The Covid-19 crisis has had one benefit for embattled UK bosses. The number of campaigns by activist shareholders in British companies more than halved in the first five months of the year to 14 from 32 in the same period in 2019, according to a report by publication Activist Insight.
Companies have left room for surprises by suspending their usual guidance about performance in recent months. Still, the pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities in $150 billion Unilever’s portfolio: Chief Executive Alan Jope oversaw an almost 2% drop in underlying revenue in foods and refreshment. Continued uncertainty about the pace of any recovery also means a celebratory Cornetto or a glass of Perrier-Jouët may be premature.
