From Breakingviews: The European Commission is dreaming up new ways to finance its bailout fund, and a French mall deal comes with sweeteners. Catch up with the latest financial insights here
European Union flags fly outside the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, February 19, 2020.PAY TO PLAY. The pandemic is proving a boon for bureaucrats eager to dream up new taxes. The latest hive of fiscal innovation is the European Commission, which has proposed a levy on big companies that use the European Union single market.
The commission is also toying with a carbon tax, a levy on plastics and taxing tech companies. But the corporate levy is broader. According to the Financial Times, it would charge 70,000 big companies an annual lump sum payment for using the single market. The notion of an extra EU-wide charge is bound to face fierce resistance from low-tax countries like Ireland, not to mention the companies themselves. Still, it’s another sign that lockdowns will be followed by new levies.
SHOPPING INCENTIVES. The pandemic has made shoppers steer clear of malls. Investors are proving almost as wary of French commercial real estate. Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield managed to sell five French shopping malls for 2 billion euros to a joint venture set up by the 7 billion euro company itself as well as La Francaise and the insurance arm of Credit Agricole. The deal boosted the company’s share price by 7% on Monday.
His company is covering up to 24.4 million euros of a 45 million euro rent guarantee up to 2024. It also had to provide a loan guarantee to its partners for the same period. That suggests that although one of its recently opened centres, in the north-western French city of Rennes, has seen footfall return to 90% of pre-crisis levels, rental income from tenants will take a lot longer to rebound.
HOTSPOT. India on Saturday announced a three-part plan to ease the lockdown even as daily cases hit new record highs. But many decisions have been left to individual states. Maharashtra, home to the financial capital of Mumbai, will remain mostly shuttered until the end of the month. Elsewhere, Delhi’s government is sealing borders for one week to prevent outsiders flooding hospitals.
