Agreed fang horn - good foundation for work with France.VW why would u need such an entity in saudi?

[yogi] 05/2/2014 13:16

I guess until Indian elections complete things will be slow. That said original Hawk order took 10 years to get to contract so patience is required:)

[dafrog] 05/2/2014 13:12

That would not bother me Viking but where did you get that info from?

[vikingwarrier] 05/2/2014 12:55

BAe have a seperate entity based in Saudi Arabia in conjunction with Saudi Investors which can hold money without anyone in the UK seeing.

Looks like a serious technological leap Yogi

Unfortunately, that is India. Cairn suffering atm and a Co I had shares in some years ago went under due to Indian business practices.

[vikingwarrier] 05/2/2014 12:22

Dassault is having serious problems getting India to sign up for the Rafale. I suspect fees are not being paid in accordance with normal business practices.

TARANIS

Together with the UK Ministry of Defence, we have revealed that Taranis, the stealthy unmanned combat vehicle demonstrator and the most advanced aircraft ever built by British engineers, surpassed all expectations during its first flight trials last year. Full details in link below:-



Quite a technological step forward - a glimpse of the future perhaps?

That would be a fifth of last yrs earnings ; no wonder the share price is dipping.

[miata] 19/12/2013 17:16

BAE said earnings this year will be clipped by 6p to 7p should it fail
to reach an agreement on pricing of Typhoon combat jets for Saudi Arabia.

[fangorn2] 19/12/2013 16:35

The UAE have advised that they have elected not to proceed with these proposals at this time.




Salam pricing,still outstanding

Whilst good progress has been made, a definitive agreement has yet to be reached. A timely agreement in the new-year would be reflected in trading for 2013.

[squidsgone] 11/12/2013 09:22

That will shake a few more shorters out

[wad collector] 11/12/2013 09:14

Hey Guys the share price just junmped!

...'I'd be interested to learn just how much "freedom" the BOE actually had, particularly when GB was in the hot seat'...

Judging from the dynamic and assertive activities of the then incumbent, 'Merv the Swerv', I would say not a lot.

[fangorn2] 09/12/2013 13:13

Yup, don't dispute tht Anhar. I'd be interested to learn just how much "freedom" the BOE actually had, particularly when GB was in the hot seat. I was considering editing my previous over the weekend but decided to just leave it.

[anhar] 09/12/2013 13:08

...BoE does set rates independently - Particularly under a coalition/right wing government that is more laissez faire than it's Labour counterpart.

Given that comment, it's worth noting that the freedom of the BoE to set interest rates independently was granted under the Labour government of Tony Blair with Gordon Brown as chancellor.

[hatter2] 07/12/2013 03:18

Horrible share price graph since around 7th November (balanced by a super graph from July to October). Even on a day as good as 6/12 we have an intra day low of 405.5: closed at 415.8. I am starting to think we could well see 395p shortly as an area of support but it's difficult to estimate easily after such a decent run since July 13.

[wad collector] 04/12/2013 19:50

Surely the politicians would put the economic well-being of the United Kingdom above unimportant political point-scoring? After all they are honorable guardians of the Country.
And anyway , as they are constantly at pains to point out , the BOE sets interest rates INDEPENDENTLY and doing what HMG wanted would play no part in such decisions , except for the odd knighthood.

[losos] 04/12/2013 13:33

wad collector - "An interest rate rise is not something that has had to be considered for a while!"

And IMO it won't be a factor until after the next election, raising rates now (Even if the unemployment figure drops below 7% which is itself a big 'if') will just alienate voters, higher mortgage payments, more inflation price increases in the shops, etc. etc. For any politician it's not a goer. Now AFTER the election, well that is a whole new ball game.

[speedsgh] 04/12/2013 12:32

wad - i think there is potential for an exaggerated reaction due more to the symbolism of the first interest rise in rates rather than the size of the increase.
