Ian Narev

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the country’s biggest bank, has named lawyer Ian Narev as the new chief executive with effect from November. Bank analysts and investors welcomed the announcement as succession plans had been underway for the past two and a half years. During that time Narev worked closely with the outgoing CEO, Ralf Norris, to ensure a smooth transition. Narev, who is 44 years old, has the full support of the board. Chairman David Turner said: “Ian is an extraordinary executive who has restructured and revitalised business. In private banking he has delivered double digit revenue and profit growth with significant efficiency gains. He is a proven and inclusive leader.” The bank’s stock rose 1.4 per cent as shareholders welcomed the news.

Currently the Commonwealth Bank of Australia is aggressively looking for new growth opportunities in offshore banking and global asset management, particularly in Asia. Narev’s strong background

Observer SOUTH AFRICANS SNAP UP PROPERTY The South African residential property market is showing a rise in the number of first time homebuyers, who now make up 15 per cent of the total. This is the highest level ever achieved for first time homebuyers in the past five years. In 2008, a boom time in property, only 15 per cent of buyers were first timers.

The rise in this type of buyer has probably contributed to the average house price moving upwards, albeit slowly. It has now reached the point where at R803,751 ($112,000) the national average house price has broken through the R800,000 barrier An increase in the number of loans being granted by banks and the raising of the transfer duty tax exemption to homes sold for up to R600 000, has been a prime cause in the rise of first time buyers. Also encouraging this market are the lowest interest rates in 35 years and that real estate is now very well priced.

for the first time.

In South Africa the rise in first time homebuyers appears to be closely linked to the growth of the middle class.

GAME CHANGER Wadah Khanfar, the director general of Al Jazeera, has grown the company from a single channel to a media network with multiple properties including the Al Jazeera Arabic channel and Al Jazeera English. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also managed to integrate social media in a way that few other channels have, opening the door for the acclaimed reporting on the Arab Spring, reports Nancy Cook.

Oil rigs will have to withstand extreme conditions in the Arctic circle. Environmentalists worry that a major oil spill will happen.

“The Arctic accounts for around 13 per cent of the undiscovered oil, 30 per cent of the undiscovered natural gas, and 20 per cent of the undiscovered natural gas liquids in the world.”

A major problem with drilling for oil in the Arctic is that it is far from any infrastructure.

Either the infrastructure will have to be built or floating refineries put in place.

“A single large oil spill in the wrong place and at the wrong time of year can have very serious, population-wide impacts on seabirds, fish and some marine mammals”.
