The parent company of Inno stores wants to close at least one in three stores in Germany

by archyde

According to its boss, Miguel Müllenbach, at least one in three stores will have to close in Germany to save the rest of the stores.

Redundancies seem inevitable. Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof employs around 17,000 people in Germany.

The chain, which has 131 stores across the Rhine, has already experienced difficulties in the past and even received aid from the German state. But that was not enough to extricate the sign from financial problems.

A spokesman for Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof confirmed to the German news agency dpa that a procedure for protection against creditors had been initiated.

Inno stores in Belgium are not affected by this protection procedure, as was the case during a similar procedure in 2020, Inno said Monday evening. The sign refers to a communication dating from ten days ago, when the CEO Armin Devender had declared that the developments of the parent company in Germany had no impact on the Belgian subsidiary. In addition, Inno ended its financial year, which ended in September, with a return to profitability.

French people less likely to be able to embark on a property purchase

by archyde

Is this the end of a blessed period during which individuals were able to get into debt almost for free to access the property? Or will rising interest rates deflate property prices that had peaked since the 2008 financial crisis? What is certain is that with the tightening of the monetary policy of the ECB, which is about to announce this Thursday, October 27, a new increase in interest rates expected by 0.75 percentage points, the situation real estate is changing, faster than we would have imagined.

In less than six months, borrowing rates, all durations combined, fell from 1.3 to 1.9% on average in September, according to the latest figures from theCSA Housing Credit Observatory. A level that had not been reached since the beginning of 2016. If we are to believe the brokers, who see the banks’ proposals several weeks before they are signed, the offers, excluding insurance, would rather gravitate around 2 .5%, and could reach 3% by next fall.

More complicated borrowing conditions

Enough to seize up the beautiful real estate machine that had been triggered in recent years thanks to the fall in rates. To give an order of magnitude: at the end of 2021, a buyer wishing to buy a property of €250,000 over twenty-five years had to pay a monthly payment of €950, compared to €1,120 for a loan which would be offered today , i.e. a loss of real estate purchasing power of around €50,000. A loss, however, partially offset by the increase in income.

Access to the market has therefore become more complicated, resulting in the exclusion of many players. According to the Credit Observatory, the number of mortgages fell by 32% over one year in August and September. Accused of being blind to the situation, the Banque de France for its part evokes a more relative drop, of the order of 20% between May and August. “This credit production is approaching the five-year average (20.3 billion), reflecting the ongoing normalization process,” the institution recently explained in a press release.

Attrition Rate Reform

To breathe new life into the market, brokers have been pleading for months for a attrition rate reform, legally defined as the maximum rate at which banks can lend. Calculated once a quarter by the Banque de France, based on the average of the last three months, the latter was revalued on 1is last October, at 3.03%. But, in the opinion of several brokers, the scissors effect is once again at work. “With banks refinancing on the markets at 3%, some of them now refuse to deal with brokers to deal only with their customers”, testifies Maël Bernier, spokesperson for Meilleurstaux.

At the start of the week, the Minister Delegate in charge of Cities and Housing, Olivier Klein, indicated on BFMTV that he would soon meet François Villeroy de Galhau, the Governor of the Banque de France, on this subject. Among the avenues considered, that of excluding from the wear rate the borrower insurance premiums, or the transition from a quarterly readjustment to a monthly one. But until now the institution has always firmly opposed such a scenario, considering that an increase in the rate of wear and tear would end up disadvantageous to borrowers. Thanks to this legal safeguard, French property rates have also increased almost half as fast as in the rest of the euro zone.

Towards a fall in real estate prices?

In essence, the whole question is also how the market will react to this rise in rates. Will real estate prices collapse, as some expect? Maël Bernier does not believe it. “For there to be a drop in prices, owners would have to start selling their properties massively. But in France, where owners are indebted at fixed rates, most of them having benefited from very advantageous rates over the past decade, there is no reason for this scenario to occur.she believes.

For the moment, the figures rather prove him right. Despite rising interest rates, prices have not really started to fall, except in Paris, where there has been a slight decline since the health crisis. In recent weeks, real estate professionals have been torn about whether the average price in the capital has already fallen below €10,000 per square meter.

Across France, prices would have increased by 0.3% in September, according to the Best Agents barometer, with transactions remaining at high levels. Nevertheless, even if there was no market collapse, the blessed era when owners could benefit from marvelous capital gains on their property seems well and truly over.

“It’s less pleasant, but it’s for a good cause”

by archyde


Par Sudinfo

The choice of the sign may surprise since it is a step back but it is necessary.

The plastic shutters at the entrance and exit to the refrigerated area of ​​Colruyt stores had gradually been removed by education as its stores were renovated. The reason given? “Customers didn’t like them.” Instead, Colruyt had installed an air curtain.

Yes, but now, the energy crisis is affecting the whole of Belgium and plastic shutters are making a comeback in the chain’s 249 stores. Rest assured, this is only a temporary return. Sixty stores have already (re)installed them, the others will follow. “It’s less pleasant, but it’s for a good cause,” says Hanne Poppe, spokesperson for Colruyt. Colruy. This will allow the group to save 2.3 million euros on its energy bill on an annual basis, according to its own calculations.

The sign had not thrown away all the shutters to be able to reuse them from time to time, for example in the event of a heat wave. Colruyt claims that saving energy is already in the group’s DNA and that its stores were generally already very energy efficient. Still, the company was looking for additional savings. The shutters are an intervention, but Colruyt has also changed the lighting, for example.

Overwatch 2 TEST: what is the Switch version worth?

by archyde

Overwatch 2 was launched a few days ago on computers and consoles, in a version free-to-play. The FPS multiplayer Blizzard is therefore available for as many people as possible on most platforms, even on Nintendo Switch. A version that offers some technical differences compared to the othersso she needed a test just for her.

The Pro controller should be kept nearby.

Overwatch first of the name was as a reminder also available on Switch, arriving three years after the game was released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This time, all the players are in the same boat, but it is clear that Overwatch 2 rendering does not evolve much. and fashion Portablethe game is quite nice, with not very optimal textures, but without aliasing interfering with the retina. It’s fine, but some details and small decorative elements are missing. to optimize the rendering, nothing serious fortunately. The real problem is the menus that display a really small typeface, asking to bring your Switch closer to your nose to read the challenges listed, and there is no setting in the accessibility menu to correct this. In fashion TV with the Switch plugged into its dockThis is an other story. The textures are runny, thealiasing points the tip of its nose a bit, we are dealing with a version with the graphics settings at a minimum, it stings the eyes a bit. In both cases, the title runs at 30 fps, which is not ideal for such a nervous first-person shooter. And in both cases, the menus tend to row when navigating, a problem already present in the first opus.

On the control side, Overwatch 2 allows you to play with Joy-Con attached to the console in mode Portableto detach them in mode Table or pull out your controller Pro to play on TV. Clearly, them Joy-Con are not suitable for a game like OW2, the buttons that are too small prevent you from correctly using the shortcuts on the directional cross (displaying the communication wheel in particular) or the “-” button to display the scoreboard. And after only two games, the fingers already hurt. The handcuffs Pro (or any other equivalent model) should be kept nearbywith the Switch plugged into a TV or placed on the table, for a gameplay more accessible and less painful. The gyroscope-assisted aiming, trademark of the Switch, is still there, to be activated in the options. It’s a very gimmicky feature here, despite there being plenty of settings to set the right sensitivity. However, the player is prompted to choose his controller when launching the gamethat is, if you start playing in mode Portablebut you decide to pull out the controller Pro after a game, you will have to quit the game and restart it to choose the new controller. For a game on a console called “Switch” and whose principle is to change the way of playing on the fly, it’s frustrating, but at least the game does not take long to launch.

Finally, among the things that give pleasure, let us finally note the presence of the cross-progressionallowing you to find all the content unlocked in the other versions (PC, PlayStation or Xbox) on Switch, where the first game asked to re-unlock all the skins. Well, the economic model has changed in the meantime, it was obvious that shared progress would be part of it, but it’s always nice to find the progress in the Battle Pass by switching from PC gaming to Switch for example.

An additional version for nomads.

Overwatch 2 (7)By default, the cross-play is enabled, to play with and against players from other platforms, also disabling assisted aiming when playing against opponents on computers. If you prefer to have fun against other Switch players, it is obviously possible to deactivate the cross-play in the options, avoiding in passing to read some profanity of the PC text chat.

Voice chat is back and there’s still no need to go through the smartphone appjust plug in a headset with microphone and do some control settings in the options, it’s quite nice, even if most players playing with friends prefer to go through a third party application like Discord. Finally, and this is important to underline, you can fully enjoy Overwatch 2 without a subscription to the Nintendo Switch Onlinelike many games free-to-play. At the same time, given the economic model of the game, it would have been a shame to have to go to the cash register, but for this subject, we invite you to read our complete test of the game.

Overwatch 2 Junkers Queen Switch Test bannière

Overwatch 2 on Nintendo Switch, it’s the portage that it is always nice to have in a cornerespecially if you’re the type who wants to start a small game to win challenges and advance in the game. battle pass. The rendering is close to that of the first part, a bit ugly on a large TV, but nice in mode Portableand a joystick Pro is to have close to you to avoid cramps. An additional version for nomadsbut difficult to spend hours on it, especially if you have other consoles at hand.

Overwatch 2 is available free-to-play on Nintendo Switch, you can find prepaid eShop cards on Amazon to buy the Premium Pass or the Observatory Pack.
