ronniechua/iStock via Getty Images By Paolo Pizzoli , Senior Economist, Italy, Greece Seasonally adjusted industrial production fell by 0.4% month‑on‑month in December (following a 1.5% increase in November), according to the latest ISTAT release. On a yearly basis, working‑day‑adjusted output increased 3.2% (from +1.4% in November). Across the main industrial groupings, December saw monthly declines in consumer goods (both durable and non‑durable) and intermediate goods, while energy and capital goods posted gains. With December data now available, we can draw some conclusions for 2025 as a whole. On average, industrial production fell 0.2%, while manufacturing output declined 0.5%. At the sector level, pharmaceuticals and electronics/instrumentation led growth, followed - at some distance - by the food industry. The largest drops were recorded in textiles & apparel, transport equipment, and chemicals. Importantly, the fourth quarter of 2025 showed a 0.9% increase in production versus the third quarter, which helped support the 0.3% GDP expansion in 4Q from the supply side. The statistical carryover for seasonally adjusted industrial production from 2025 into 2026 stands at 0.7%. Assuming the gradual improvement we foresee for 2026 materialises, average annual production growth should exceed 1%, marking a return to positive territory after three consecutive years of declines. Looking at January business confidence data, the recovery still appears very gradual. Manufacturing confidence improved, supported by stronger order assessments, but not yet enough to suggest a cyclical acceleration in output. A more decisive reduction in inventories is still missing. Clearer signals on this front are emerging from the capital goods segment, while consumer goods remain weaker. At this stage of the cycle, a stronger rebound in industrial production seems linked to the timing of Germany’s ambitious infrastructure and defence investment programmes. Given their endogenous nature, ...

A former senior executive of a Hong Kong fintech company has been jailed for 6½ years for stealing HK$19.2 million (US$2.45 million) from his employer and laundering part of the money to support his gambling addiction and lavish lifestyle. The High Court on Wednesday handed down the sentence to Shum Lok-man after the 38-year-old divorcee pleaded guilty to three counts of theft and two of money laundering, admitting he gambled away 99 per cent of the proceeds. The court heard Shum had substantial control over the finances of Eddid Securities and Futures as assistant vice-president, overseeing the firm’s chequebook and e-banking accounts, while earning HK$45,000 a month. Advertisement Between April 2021 and June 2023, he stole a total of HK$19,225,330.05 from the company either by diverting client withdrawal funds or cashing in blank cheques that had been signed by its directors during the Covid-19 pandemic. He then channelled the stolen funds to multiple bank accounts, with HK$3.91 million transferred to two companies controlled by an auditor who he said took a commission of up to 15 per cent to facilitate his scheme. Advertisement Following his arrest in August 2023, Shum told police he had used the winnings made from betting with the stolen cash to purchase four luxury watches and a Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 electric car.

Both Citi and JPMorgan cut their ratings and price targets on Mattel following its fourth-quarter earnings release. In its Q4 report, the toy manufacturer missed on both the top and bottom lines, delivering adjusted earnings of 39 cents per share on revenue of $1.77 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected earnings of 54 cents and $1.84 billion in revenue. Mattel's guidance also came well below Street estimates. The firm sees adjusted earnings for the year coming in between $1.18 and $1.30, while the consensus estimate from FactSet was $1.77. Shares of Mattel plunged 28% in Wednesday's premarket session. Shares are now down 4% over the past 12 months but still trading 6% higher in 2026. MAT 5D mountain MAT 5D chart Citi downgraded the stock to a neutral rating from buy, also lowering its price target to $16 from $25. This revised forecast implies potential downside of 24%. Citi analyst James Hardiman said that while some investors might view this pullback as a buy low opportunity, he is taking a step back. "The Mattel thesis has changed suddenly and substantially, with work to be done by management to tighten up the narrative and deliver the opportunity," he wrote. This earnings release looks especially damaging when considering rival toy manufacturer Hasbro's stellar quarter. "Longer-term, while the 2026 investments should pay dividends down the line, the need for a bridge/investment year to maintain some modicum of growth would reignite investor concerns around traditional toy demand," Hardiman said. "Particularly on the heels of a massive beat/raise by Hasbro earlier in the day, the durability of MAT's portfolio is likely to be debated in an industry that is increasingly a story of haves and have nots." JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers downgraded the stock to an underweight rating from neutral. Horvers' new price target of $14, lowered from $23, implies a 34% downside. As a reason for the downgrade, Horvers pointed to Mattel's disappointing guidance, ...

Conservative Swiss MP Urges 'End To Immigration From Stone Age Cultures' As Stats Expose Prevalence Of Domestic Violence Via Remix News, New statistical data has highlighted the prevalence of domestic violence across different population groups in Switzerland, sparking a political debate over its root causes. SVP National Councillor Pascal Schmid argues that the figures identify this primarily as a migration problem, noting that even foreign women are accused of these offenses more frequently than Swiss men. Schmid requested data from the Federal Council, which provided an analysis of domestic violence frequency broken down by gender and nationality. The results show that for every 10,000 foreign men in the permanent resident population, 33.3 were accused of domestic violence in 2024, compared to 12.6 for Swiss men. For women, the rate was 13.2 for foreign women and 4.4 for Swiss women. The data shows that foreign women are accused of domestic violence at slightly higher rates than Swiss men, however, foreign men clearly dominate in this category of crime overall, according to Blick . In response to the latest Swiss data, Schmit wrote: “Domestic violence is not simply a problem solely affecting men, but primarily a migration problem.” This data comes after similar findings in Germany showed that women from certain foreign groups in 2024 were more violent than German men . The data showed that for 100,000 German men, 272 were suspected of a violent offense. For Syrian women, this figure per 100,000 was 336. Clearly, Syrian women were more violent than German men. Afghan women are also more violent, with a rate of 359, even more violent than Syrian women. Iraqi women have an incredible rate of 394, which is considerably more than that of German men. In Switzerland, research indicates that approximately 1 in 10 women will be a victim of physical or sexual violence in a romantic relationship during her adult life. Between 2011 and 2014, an average of 22 female and four ...
