"Russian Cement Industry Outlook: Business Opportunities and Future Growth Potential to 2016" - New Market Report - SBWire

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2012 -- The Russian cement market follows the trend of the country's construction market, during both the review and forecast periods. The cement market recorded a significant reduction in production and demand when the global financial crisis hit the Russian economy from late 2008 onwards. Many impending construction projects were suspended, and the cement market was adversely affected. The cement industry in Russia grew at a CAGR of 6.70% during the review period. During the review period, the cement clinker category was the largest cement type and accounted for 34.5% of the total cement industry. The growth is primarily attributed to the government's spending on infrastructure and the growing residential and commercial construction market. Wet cement manufacturing is the dominant production process for cement in Russia. Most plants in Russia are dated and in need of modernization, and the wet process also involves substantial energy input. Most new companies setting up plants in Russia are therefore opting for dry process plants. The Russian cement market comprises more than 50 cement manufacturers. The largest companies in the industry include JSC Eurocement Group, Sibirsky Cement, Lafarge, Alpha-Cement (a subsidiary of Holcim), Novorosstcement and the Park Group.

Chinese Cement Industry Outlook: Business Opportunities and Future Growth Potential to 2016

NEW YORK, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Chinese Cement Industry Outlook: Business Opportunities and Future Growth Potential to 2016

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0924727/Chinese-Cement-Industry-Outlook-Business-Opportunities-and-Future-Growth-Potential-to-2016.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Building_

Synopsis

The report provides market analysis, information and insights into the Chinese cement industry including:

- In-depth analysis of the Chinese cement industry

- A detailed analysis of market attractiveness, covering the key trends, drivers and regulatory frameworks

- Detailed market size figures for a period of ten years (2007–2016)

- Detailed imports and exports figures for a period of five years (2007–2011)

- Description and analysis of the competitive landscape and the industry structure

- Analysis of market entry, growth and operational strategies of key players

- Profiles of the major companies

- Details of current and future production capacity

Summary

China is the largest cement market in the world, producing and consuming more than half of the cement produced globally. The industry is hugely fragmented, with approximately 3,000 small, medium-sized and large enterprises. The top ten producers account for less than 25% of the market share, and consist of both global and domestic firms. The Chinese Government invested US$500 billion in infrastructure during its 11th five-year plan, and plans to invest US$1 trillion during the 12th five-year plan. The large-scale investment in various spheres of infrastructure, including roads, railways, bridges and ports, is expected to drive the demand for cement over the forecast period. The Chinese cement industry is expected to consolidate over the forecast period, with large domestic and foreign companies acquiring small and medium-sized firms. Stringent emissions standards are likely to lead to the closure or acquisition of smaller plants. The Chinese cement industry, being a highly energy-intensive industry, is focusing strongly on alternative sources of energy and sustainable practices. This has led to partnerships with global cement equipment manufacturing plants, leading to more innovation in energy-efficient and sustainable technology.

AGF's Sale of Trust Business to Fund New Growth Opportunities as a Leading, Independent Global Investment Manager

Sale will provide AGF with $415 million cash

TORONTO , June 6, 2012 /CNW/ - Following today's announcement of the sale of AGF Trust Company ("AGF Trust") for approximately $415 million in total cash proceeds, AGF Management Limited ("AGF") will focus on growing its global investment management business.  The $415 million in total sale proceeds is comprised of $242 million for the total equity of AGF Trust (subject to changes in the equity value between now and closing) and repayment of the $109.5 million subordinated debt and the $64 million preferred share from AGF Trust to AGF Management Limited.

Over the last 25 years, AGF has successfully grown AGF Trust from a small, single product lending operation with only $200 million in loan assets to the over $3 billion multi-product loan business that operates today. The sale to B2B Trust, a firm with a similar business strategy to AGF Trust, will ensure that clients experience minimal changes as a result of the sale.

The sale of AGF Trust enables AGF to continue to be at the forefront of meeting the needs of advisors and investors by delivering best-in-class quality of service, innovative new investment products and improved investment capabilities. 

"This is an exciting and positive day for our firm," says Blake C. Goldring, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AGF Management Limited. "We have built AGF Trust into a very successful business and selling now will allow us to focus our resources on the highest potential opportunities for our company, which includes our existing investment management centres of excellence and distribution relationships, enhanced by a proactive acquisition strategy. We have found an ideal partner to continue building the AGF Trust business.  Meanwhile AGF investment management operations will be better positioned to provide greater value to all our stakeholders in the future."

Including the proceeds from the sale of AGF Trust and current unused debt capacity, AGF will have approximately $615 million of available capital to accelerate business growth for its Canadian and international investment management operations. Key strategic investments in the business will foster organic growth opportunities in all of AGF's channels, including its retail, institutional and private client businesses.

"We see new global opportunities opening up as a result of this transaction," says Robert J. Bogart, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. "We have had considerable success building our global distribution capabilities and are confident we will generate more predictable growth results while leveraging our core strengths."

"Our team is energized and in place to move forward.  We have found a strong partner in B2B Trust and are pleased that, in concert with the acquisition transition period, all AGF Trust employees will become employees of B2B Trust.  We're grateful to the employees and senior management team for their contributions to the success of AGF Trust," adds Goldring.

In a Fairness Opinion provided by RBC Capital Markets, the sale consideration received was deemed fair from a financial point of view, subject to the assumptions and limitations contained therein.  Subject to regulatory approvals and financing, the transaction is expected to close in August 2012 .

Analysts and media are invited to participate in a conference call discussing the sale of AGF Trust further at 11:30 a.m. Toronto time.

AGF will host a conference call to review today's announcement at 11:30 a.m. ET .

Business Must Grasp Opportunities Of Delivering Global Growth With Managing Scarce Food, Water And Energy Resources - CSR Wire

President Clinton to join business, finance and political leaders for unique two day forum on world's resources

LONDON, Apr. 23 /CSRwire/ - The international business and finance community must take the lead in solving increasing food, energy and water scarcity as population growth and economic development puts greater strains on the planet’s resources.

The call to action was issued today by Re|Source 2012, a new initiative created by the University of Oxford, its Smith School of Enterprise and Environment and The Rothschild Foundation to tackle resource scarcity and highlight the business opportunities of sustainable management.

Sir David King, co-director of Re|Source and former chief scientific adviser to the UK government, said: “The growing demand for food, energy and water by our growing and increasingly wealthy population is creating unprecedented pressures on our finite natural resources.

“The associated risks represent major opportunities for innovative business communities. Managing resources efficiently and effectively in a way that protects the environment and meets rising demand is the only productive way forward.”

The need to better manage the challenges of resource scarcity is now rising rapidly up the agenda for governments, investors and businesses alike, as well as environmental leaders and organisations.  It has become a critical security issue for corporate leaders trying to ensure a reliable supply of water and energy to manufacture products and for governments concerned about energy or food supplies.

The world is expected to grow from seven billion people today to nine billion by 2050 - to meet this growth it will need to produce 70 per cent more food – which will place consequential demands on water and energy. More than 40 of the world’s top 100 economies are companies. Only eight per cent of the world’s fresh water is used by individuals – the rest is used by agriculture and industry.

Sir David, director of the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment at Oxford University, continued:

“Managing issues arising from resource scarcity and management is one of the over-riding issues of the first half of the 21st century. It is not just a matter of empty threats and negativity.

“There are huge advantages and opportunities for business, finance and government in responsible resource management. Companies and investors can enjoy far greater returns and rewards by effective resource management.

“This can be a win-win for everyone if we can engage the financial, business and environmental communities together to tackle these issues.”

To help drive this change Re|Source is bringing together 250 of the world’s most influential thinkers and leaders at Oxford University in July to start a new conversation on managing natural resources, longer-term thinking and aligning people and profit.

They will address key questions including: how will resource scarcity and volatility affect political, business and military planning? How can the financial community change to encourage CEOs and investee companies to rise to these global resource challenges? And how will capitalism evolve in a resource constrained world?

Key speakers include:

President Bill Clinton, Founder of the William J. Clinton Foundation and 42nd President of the United StatesPaul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, on the investment opportunities in tomorrow’s economiesDavid Nabarro, the UN’s Special Representative on Food Security and NutritionPeter Brabeck, Chairman of Nestle, the world’s largest food company, and Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister of the Environment and Water Resource in Singapore, speaking on the business and political risks of water securityJeremy Grantham, founder of GMO, one of the world’s largest investment funds, on commodity pricing and volatility and Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen on the economics of resource scarcityRt Hon David Miliband MP, former UK Foreign Secretary, on the role of government and Lord Browne of Madingley, former CEO of BP energy and now partner of Riverstone Holdings LLC, on private sector leadershipPlus senior military figures including Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, Climate and Energy Security Envoy of the UK Ministry of Defence and FCO, and high-ranking officials from NATO (to be confirmed)In addition, James Cameron, internationally acclaimed film director, environmentalist and explorer, will give a special presentation at a dinner at the Ashmolean Museum.

"Managing issues arising from resource scarcity and management is one of the over-riding issues of the first half of the 21st century. It is not just a matter of empty threats and negativity.

"There are huge advantages and opportunities for business, finance and government in responsible resource management. Companies and investors can enjoy far greater returns and rewards by effective resource management.

"This can be a win-win for everyone if we can engage the financial, business and environmental communities together to tackle these issues."

To help drive this change Re|Source is bringing together 250 of the world's most influential thinkers and leaders at Oxford University in July to start a new conversation on managing natural resources, longer-term thinking and aligning people and profit.

They will address key questions including: how will resource scarcity and volatility affect political, business and military planning? How can the financial community change to encourage CEOs and investee companies to rise to these global resource challenges? And how will capitalism evolve in a resource constrained world?

Clinton Foundation and 42nd President of the United StatesPaul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, on the investment opportunities in tomorrow's economiesDavid Nabarro, the UN's Special Representative on Food Security and NutritionPeter Brabeck, Chairman of Nestle, the world's largest food company, and Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister of the Environment and Water Resource in Singapore, speaking on the business and political risks of water securityJeremy Grantham, founder of GMO, one of the world's largest investment funds, on commodity pricing and volatility and Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen on the economics of resource scarcityRt Hon David Miliband MP, former UK Foreign Secretary, on the role of government and Lord Browne of Madingley, former CEO of BP energy and now partner of Riverstone Holdings LLC, on private sector leadershipPlus senior military figures including Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, Climate and Energy Security Envoy of the UK Ministry of Defence and FCO, and high-ranking officials from NATO (to be confirmed)In addition, James Cameron, internationally acclaimed film director, environmentalist and explorer, will give a special presentation at a dinner at the Ashmolean Museum.Notes to editors:
