Risks of Thames Water crisis contagion look overdone | Nils Pratley
Tue, 30 Apr 2024 04:00:34 GMT
Ministers should hold their nerve as it is not yet clear what the regulator, Ofwat, will propose
The contagion merchants are out in force at Thames Water. If the country’s biggest water company goes under, runs the argument from assorted bondholders and City bankers, we will all pay a price. Other water companies will pay more for their capital, shoving the cost on to our bills eventually, and the burned bondholders will exact revenge when they’re asked to finance everything from electricity pylons to nuclear power stations. Should we be scared?
Before everybody works themselves into a panic, it would be better to wait until 12 June, the day when the water regulator, Ofwat, gives its first view on the business plans of English and Welsh companies for the next five-year period, and says what level of bill increases it will accept and what assumptions it has made about the cost of capital. That is the first point at which the “contagion” noise can be properly assessed.

Why has the yen fallen to a decade’s low and what does it mean for Japan’s economy?
Tue, 30 Apr 2024 02:52:17 GMT
The accelerating slide in the value of Japan’s currency could ultimately be bad news for people in Japan who are heavily reliant on imports
The value of Japan’s currency has tumbled so much, that its value is back to where it was in 1990, shortly after Japan’s famous “bubble economy” burst. For a moment on Monday it was trading at 160 yen to US$1. A few years ago, it was closer to 100 yen to US$1.
The yen’s accelerating slide could ultimately be bad news for people in Japan. A weaker yen squeezes households by increasing import costs. Japan is heavily reliant on imports for both energy supplies and food, meaning inflation could rise.
