COVID-19 Update:

Cases: 2,303,144

Deaths: 61,143

Recovered: 2,199,508

Vaccinated: 693,490 doses.

In Colombia, coronavirus cases are already more than 2.2 million and unfortunately, at least 61,000 people have died since the first case of covid-19 arrived in the country.

Economy:

The Colombian Foreign Minister and the US Secretary of State met to discuss the priorities of the new US government.

Through a trill, the US embassy in Colombia indicated that the main points of President Biden’s policy will be: The implementation of the peace agreement; the coronavirus; the fight against drug trafficking and transnational crime; a regional response to the crisis in Venezuela; the expansion of trade; climate change and human rights.

“We envision a future with security, throughout the Western Hemisphere, there is no better place to start than with the determination of the Colombian people to establish a sustainable and lasting peace,” Biden said at the time, adding that “the peace agreement it was a breakthrough and should not be minimized or ignored. “

Employment:

The Colombian Association of BPO, announced the creation of 4,000 new jobs for women in the country, which will be effective during the first half of the year.

Konecta, Atento, and Online Link, three BPrO affiliated companies that lead this initiative, will be talking during the Forum with women interested in jobs within a virtual space called “Private Offers”, in which recruiters will provide information about the process via text message or video call.

The profiles are open and initially applicants with bachelor, technical or professional training can apply, and additional points will be added to those who speak English with level B1 and B2, according to the Common European Framework of Reference.

These 4,000 new jobs are part of the 18,000 already announced by the BPO sector for this year, showing a growth of 3 percent over its closing figure in 2020. This year, bilingual talent will continue to be a challenge to improve the competitiveness of the sector and the country, as there is potential to increase exports of BPO services to countries such as the United States, Brazil, and Europe, from the current US$1.3 billion. BPRO forecasts that by 2021, the industry will grow 3.5 percent and will continue to generate investment in technology, personnel, and biosafety measures while promoting formal and inclusive employment.

Vaccination:

Colombia has already applied 589,208 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, as revealed by the most recent report from the Ministry of Health in its daily report.

Doses applied in total:

COVID-19 Update:
Cases: 3,990,331.
Deaths: 8​​​​​​​9,830.​​​​​​​
Recovered: 270,433.

For this week, there is an increase of 154,736 confirmed COVID-19 cases in France. According to deaths, there is an increase of 1,969 confirmed cases in France in one week. There is a total of 4,337,343. people vaccinated with the first dose in France.

Economy:

One year after the start of the crisis, the economy is recovering, and recovery is still a long way off. With a growth forecast of 1% for the first quarter, the level of activity in the country would still be down by 4% compared to the pre-Covid-19 situation, according to the INSEE forecasts made public on Thursday 11 March.

At the end of June, after a second-quarter in which the gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 1%, it would have regained a little more ground, falling by 3% compared to the pre-crisis situation. The growth rate obtained at the end of the year if growth is zero over the rest of the year would then be 5.5% according to INSEE. This is identical to the rate expected for world growth, i.e., +5.6% in 2021 according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

This correlation can be clearly seen in the relative health of the various sectors of the economy. While the industry has almost returned to a normal level of activity, this is not the case for a large part of the services sector due to the restrictive measures: 6 pm restriction, closure of bars and restaurants, localized confinements, etc. With a situation that has deteriorated further since the summer of 2020, it is these services that are expected to weigh on salaried employment in the first half of 2021.

Employment:

During the pandemic and the imposed use of telework, employers and employees discovered that many functions could be performed remotely, in a different way, without affecting their productivity.

The competitive gap between companies that have maintained all or part of their activity remotely with the help of new technologies and those that have not been able to do so will have increased on this occasion. The crisis will have favored the agile, reactive, and technological companies. It will sweep away those who were lagging in these aspects, due to a lack of knowledge and foresight on the part of their managers, or a lack of resources.

With the probable perpetuation of teleworking, at least partially, the movement already observed before the crisis towards a splintering of the work collective will highlight the obsolescence of traditional trade union means of action: distribution of leaflets, physical trade union meetings.

Study grants :

For the winter semester 2020/21, the European Union has extended it’s Erasmus plus program to include virtual and hybrid forms of mobility. What is new is that studies or internships start virtually and, where possible, continue face-to-face. The advantage is that the stay can be shortened, and the exchange virtually completed in case of new restrictions due to the coronavirus. Interruptions between the virtual and physical mobility phases are also possible. Anyone taking online courses or doing a telework placement abroad has Erasmus student status and thus benefits from a free language course, for example. But only students who go abroad receive a mobility allowance to cover their living expenses.

A programme that funds job placement opportunities for students studying ICT or related subjects is to receive a funding boost, to incentivise private firms to take on young trainees.  The MITA Student Placement Programme for 2021 will have an €800,000 budget, Economy Minister Silvio Schembri said. The programme will enable employers to have “a more diversified workforce” by employing younger people with new talents leading to a variety of ideas.

Vaccination system:

Malta could expect to achieve herd immunity by mid-October if the current COVID-19 vaccination rate is kept up, a Times of Malta exercise has found.  And for the island to meet the end-of-summer target set by the EU, the speed at which the daily number of jabs is being administered needs to be kicked up a notch to reach 2,569 doses per day.

For the start of summer on June 21, the figure shoots up to 4,741 per day while a staggering 5,859 doses need to be given if Malta is to reach herd immunity by May, as predicted by Prime Minister Robert Abela.​​​​​​​

According to INSTAT, the average of the sector in “Financial and Insurance Activities” for 2019 was 107.7 thousand ALL or about 870 euros per month. Information technology has become one of the most sought after today. In Albania, this profession is paid an average of 645 euros, which is at least half of the state that pays less for this profession (Bulgaria with about 1.3 thousand euros/month). The biggest haemorrhage of the labour market today is happening precisely with this profession, as IT specialists are leaving to work abroad. In EU countries they are paid on average over 2 thousand euros, in Germany and the United Kingdom over 4 thousand euros and the record is again held by Norway and Switzerland at 6.2 and 8.2 thousand euros/month, respectively.

The number of small entities that have been deregistered from the value-added tax (VAT) scheme has reached 31,821. The figure was announced by the General Directorate of Taxes. While the number of small businesses that are liable for taxation with VAT is 1,329.

According to taxes, by the end of 2020, the total number of small businesses was 89,270, of which 33,697 were small businesses with VAT. After the deregistration of entities with an annual turnover of up to ALL 10 million, now, only 1.5% of small entities in the country are part of the VAT scheme.

Former PD MP Agron Shehaj held a meeting with German Ambassador Peter Zingraf, where they discussed the fact that Albania has great opportunities for German investment.

COVID-19 Update:
Cases: 3,835,595.

Deaths: 87,861.

Recovered: 262,690.

For this week, there is an increase of 148,782 confirmed COVID-19 cases in France. According to deaths, there is an increase of 2253 in France in one week. There is a total of 3,245,517 people vaccinated with the first dose in France.

Economy:

It is an unexpected consequence of the health crisis. The savings of the French will be used massively to strengthen the balance sheet of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) hard hit for a year by the economic crisis. To develop this financing circuit, by using the State guarantee, Bercy services negotiated for many months with representatives of companies, the financial sphere, and with the European Commission.

It is now done and the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, was finally able to present, Thursday, March 4, the terms of these new “participatory loans”. “It is time to give our businesses the opportunity to restart quickly and strongly. This is the whole objective of these equity loans … which respond to the essential challenge of the recovery: to invest”, did he declare. This financing, which will be distributed by the banking networks from the month of April, is therefore not conventional loans.

They will offer an eight-year financing maturity, and companies will not start repaying until after four years. Then, the banks will keep only 10% of the amount of the receivables on their balance sheet and will transfer the remaining 90% to a fund, which will have collected money from life insurance companies, employee savings funds, or retirement savings funds.

Employment law:

Partially suspended due to the Covid-19 epidemic, unemployment insurance reform has just been put back on the agenda. On Tuesday 2 March, the government confirmed that this work will be completed, but following a different plan from the one defined in two decrees in July 2019. The transformations decided at the time are therefore being adjusted. In concrete terms, the rules for compensating jobseekers will be tightened, starting on 1 July, while being slightly less severe than those initially set.

At the heart of the discussions were four key provisions. Three of them, unanimously denounced by the trade union centers, affect the unemployed: an increase in the contribution period for receiving an allowance; regressivity of the sums paid from the seventh month for those under 57 years of age who earned 4,500 euros gross when they held a job; and a new method of calculation, resulting in a reduction in the monthly amount of the benefit granted to those who alternate short contracts and periods of inactivity.

Travel:

It is always possible to move around France, from one region to another. Nevertheless, Jean Castex, at his press conference on 4 March, “invited” the inhabitants of 23 departments placed under reinforced surveillance not to leave their departments and not to travel.

Economy

For 8 years the economy in Albania has suffered a severe blow, where businesses, as the main unit of any economy has not recognized any support from government programs, immersed in taxes businesses have not known anything else. Not to mention the support and assistance to the innovative ideas of young people, non-existent these 8 years of misery. Like any other sector, the Economy has been merely part of the propaganda platform and countless lies of the “Rilindas” Pilot program. The economy in the eyes of young people shows the unfiltered reflection of the truth that Business faces today in Vlora. The presentation of the economic platform of the Democratic Party to young entrepreneurs in Vlora filled them with hope for the future, because the program of the Democratic Party is the program that thinks about every Albanian, thinks about their future, thinks about the youth, thinks about Albania. Strengthening the Economy is the biggest project and commitment of the Democratic Party for the next 4 years.

The COVID-19 pandemic last year boosted the country’s public debt by 11.6%. The Ministry of Finance reports that the stock at the end of December was 77.8% from 66.2% at the end of 2019. Last year, when almost every decision was dictated by the pandemic, the public debt increased by 906.4 million euros. In total the debt stock has exceeded 9.9 billion euros from about 9 billion that was. In this significant increase of this indicator, the decrease of the Gross Domestic Product by more than 867.9 million euros had an impact. The increase in expenditures and the budget deficit due to the funds needed to meet the needs left by the COVID-19 pandemic also played a role. The loans taken by the internationals for the pandemic as well as the Eurobond of 650 million Euros that was issued in June 2020 have also had an effect on its growth.

Employment

Minister of Education, Sports and Youth Mrs. Evis Kushi has introduced through a video Kristi Isaku, who contributes to the General Directorate of Pre-University Education (DPAP) and is one of 210 young people employed on a 1-year contract thanks to “Call V” of the National Internship Program. Working. Being already an integral part of the “Pact for the University”, Minister Kushi underlines that this program is “a very good opportunity for the integration of young people in the central and local administration, as well as independent institutions or various companies.” To date, 5 calls have been made from the National Internship Program, which serves as a very good opportunity for those young people between the ages of 21-26 who have not actually excelled with an average above 9 during their studies and are given the opportunity to integrate into central administration, local administration, independent institutions or various commercial companies.
