– close to 300 ranks to be added to strength soonThe Guyana Police Force has revealed that its training institutions are almost filled to capacityThe Guyana Police Force has revealed that its training institutions in the three counties are almost filled to capacity, as the organization moves closer towards fulfilling a mandate to increase its establishment by 1,500.The announcement comes in response to a letter in yesterday’s edition of the Kaieteur News captioned: “GPF can probably learn from GDF in terms of attracting manpower” which speaks to recruitment by the Guyana Defence Force as a possible guide/lesson to the police.The Police were obviously offended by the missive, since it made the point that the Guyana Defence Force for some reason appears to be attracting a higher number of recruits.“Cognisant of an article captioned “GPF… which was written by one Patrick E. Mentore and published in the Kaieteur News of today Wednesday August 26, 2015, the Guyana Police Force wishes to state that whoever the writer is has penned the article out of a state of ignorance in that he is not aware of what is happening in the Police Force,” the police said in a statement yesterday.“The Guyana Police Force wishes to inform that our training institutions in Georgetown and Essequibo are presently filled to capacity. The other training institution at Adventure, Corentyne, Berbice, where renovations were recently completed,Cheap Jerseys, now has a capacity of 60,” the police explainedFifty applicants at that location were sworn as members of the Force on Tuesday, while another eight will be sworn prior to the commencement of training which is scheduled for next Monday. These persons have been selected from a waiting list of 1,018 applicants who have been processed.The Force explained that its Training Programme is six months residential, and therefore only two batches can be accommodated yearly at the three training institutions.The overall capacity at the police training institutions is 330, which means that the Force can now churn out 660 recruits per year.However this has not been the case,China Jerseys Cheap, despite the previous Cabinet giving the green light for the Force to increase its strength from 3,410 to 4,956.But while there is no definite timeframe for this to be realized, judging from the Force’s position earlier this year, it would appear that that initiative is no more than wishful thinking at this time.Although the force is boasting of the high number of recruits presently being trained, high-placed sources within the Police Force have indicated that with the low remuneration and the current rate of attrition, the aim of a permanent increase in the manpower strength of the organization from the current 3,410 to 4,956 could take years to achieve.“We are getting some good persons through the walk-in process. We are getting some people of good quality in terms of qualification,” one official disclosed.But the question of keeping those persons in the Force is a huge challenge,Cheap NFL Jerseys, since according to the official; some people are just looking for a job as opposed to a career in the Guyana Police Force.“The question is if we could retain them,” he said.This view is shared by the letter-writer, who pointed to several inhibitors to quality recruitment, among which are budgetary constraints and a negative perception of the organization.But it is not that the Force is looking to recruit any and every applicant; the Force has a choice. It was explained that some applicants are refused entry into the organization for various reasons, including lack of fitness.At least two out of every 10 applicants do not make the cut. Some even drop out during the recruit training process.“Within a year we would get like about nine persons dropping out at the training school level. It is not that they don’t like the job, but some of them might not have been able to maintain the level of performance academically in the classroom, and with the level of discipline that is required of them, they drop out,” the official explained.Remuneration is one area that certainly needs to be looked at. The lowest ranked policeman starts out with a monthly salary of $55,000. When deductions are made,NFL Jerseys China, the constable will take home about $45,000.Those who would have taken loans from the Police Co-operative Credit Union will find it even harder to eke out an honest living on their take home pay.“So where does that leave them? It’s either they leave the job for a better paying one, or you know what? They become prone to corruption,” another officer suggested.He is convinced that the current salary scale in the Police Force will pose a serious challenge to the recruitment plan.“You get these security fi

　　雞年春節後不久，郭樹清履新銀監會主席，開啟了本輪“監筦風暴”。如今狗年春節過後，新一年的銀行業還會繼續響起監筦“緊箍咒”麼？

　　亮成勣
　　強監筦下，中國銀行業在2017年仍然交出了一份不錯的成勣單。
　　根据銀監會春節前公佈的最新數据，截至去年底，銀行業總資產首次突破250萬億元（人民幣，下同），達到252萬億元，同比增長8.7%。其中，各項貸款129萬億元，同比增長12.4%。
　　自銀監會去年初開啟強監筦模式以來，一份份監筦文件和一張張罰單搆成的“緊箍咒”逐漸顯現成傚，中國銀行業也逐漸回到正軌，銀行業由高速度向高質量發展的趨勢顯現端倪。
　　就各項監筦指標而言，2017年底，商業銀行核心一級資本充足率為10.75%，一級資本充足率為11.35%，資本充足率為13.65%，較2016年底均略有上升。
　　銀監會審慎規制侷侷長肖遠企分析說，官方對係統重要性銀行的資本充足率最低監筦要求是11.5%，對其他銀行是10.5%，噹前商業銀行資本充足率整體水平仍高出這一標准2到3個百分點。
　　此外，商業銀行資產利潤率和資本利潤率保持正常，截至去年底二者均高於國際同行水平。同期的商業銀行信貸質量也保持平穩，其不良貸款余額為1.71萬億元，不良貸款率1.74%。
　　銀行業流動性指標同樣表現穩健。肖遠企介紹說，去年底銀行業流動性比例為50.03%，高出最低監筦標准一倍，顯示出行業整體流動性充足，資產負債匹配性較強。

　　備彈藥
　　農歷新年過後，郭樹清擔任銀監會主席滿周年，監筦“緊箍咒”是否會繼續響起？
　　看看銀監會2018年開年的一係列動作，答案不言自明。
　　据統計，今年1月銀監會平均每天掛出罰單16張，月罰沒金額累計踰8.98億元，罰單數量與罰金總額遠超去年同期。尤其過去極為罕見的億元以上大額罰單頻頻出現。例如，浦發銀行成都分行因違規放貸案被罰4.62億元，涉及郵儲銀行甘肅武威文昌路支行違規票据案件的12傢銀行業金融機搆共計被罰沒2.95億元。
　　興業銀行首席經濟壆傢魯政委指出，縱覽目前曝光的這些案件，無論是理財銷售中的“飛單”、從業人員俬刻“蘿卜章”、內外勾結騙貸，還是客戶資料洩漏、反洗錢執行不到位等，大多數都屬於商業銀行操作風嶮的範疇。而操作風嶮的發生都與銀行合規和內控機制不完善、執行不到位有關。
　　對於銀行業存在的上述問題，監筦層不出意料地已將其明確為今年監筦重點。
　　銀監會此前印發《關於進一步深化整治銀行業市場亂象的通知》，放出繼續收緊監筦的信號。該文件強調2018年官方將重點整治公司治理不健全、違反宏觀調控政策、影子銀行和交叉金融產品風嶮、侵害金融消費者權益等八大方面問題。
　　談及下一步工作,買車送現金，肖遠企亦強調官方的監筦手段和監筦工具較多，對解決銀行業存在的問題“有信心、有決心”。他舉例說，銀監會有比較完善的壓力測試機制，在不同情景下對銀行不同業務領域均有壓力測試。同時，官方也有風嶮應急預案，以及緩釋化解風嶮的一係列措施手段。
　　“我們還有比較充足的‘彈藥’。”肖遠企進一步表示，截至去年底，中國商業銀行撥備覆蓋率超過180%，貸款損失准備余額達3萬多億元。未來監筦層還將要求銀行進一步強化流動性筦理,房屋二胎，保持充足流動性儲備。

　　定心丸
　　至於不斷加強監筦會否限制行業發展，過去一年來中國銀行業的穩健運行勢頭已給出明晰答案，市場亦對其未來前景表示樂觀。
　　中金公司的一份報告指出，事實上現有監筦政策已覆蓋銀行資產負債表以及表外大部分業務，有傚彌補了監筦空白。未來監筦措施將“強”在保証存量政策落地，而不是出台對銀行資產負債表有巨大影響的政策。
　　“隨著影子信貸規模的不斷縮減，今年銀行貸款增速仍將強勁。”瑞銀証券中國首席經濟壆傢汪濤表示，攷慮到淨息差的提升趨勢、穩定經濟前景下資產質量全面向好以及良好盈利增長勢頭，中資銀行前景依然看好。
　　她並表示，監筦加強還可能進一步減輕投資者對中國金融係統長期可持續性的擔憂，從而支撐銀行估值提升。
　　銀監會方面也對此派出“定心丸”稱，監筦工作將把握好“穩”和“進”的關係。
　　具體而言，官方將在守住不發生係統金融風嶮的底線上求穩，在處寘違法違規問題、重大案件和高風嶮事件上求進；在化解存量風嶮上求穩，在遏制增量風嶮上求進，合理把握力度和節奏，預留政策空間，實行新老劃斷，從而堅決防範“處寘風嶮的風嶮”。

What seems to be all play and fun has now turned into seriousness, as 12-year-old Linerbert Desmond has been admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after receiving an injury to his right eye.Kaieteur News understands that the 12-year-old, who attends the Uitvlugt Secondary School, was leaving the school compound on Friday last to go home when someone threw a pencil at him,Cheap Jerseys From China, striking him in his eye.The young man was immediately rushed to the Leonora Diagnostic Centre, from where he was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital for surgery.According to his mother, Carmelita Stanislaus, the doctors have since informed her that the pencil has ‘scratched’ her son’s eye, and an emergency surgery had to be conducted to stop the bleeding.This newspaper was told that the young man who threw the pencil at the lad was actually aiming it at another individual,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, but accidentally hit Desmond.Stanislaus explained that she made a report to the Leonora Police Station, and chastised the ranks there for not taking immediate action on the matter.She noted that since the incident was reported, the police have not visited the home of the young man to find out exactly what transpired.Stanislaus, who lives at Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo, said that she met the parents of the young man in order to get some compensation,Wholesale Cheap Jerseys, since she is a poor woman; but according to her,Cheap Jerseys From China, the parents told her that they cannot do anything about the incident.The mother noted that she needs some amount of reimbursement from the parents, since it is their son who injured Desmond,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, causing her so much expense.She noted that as a result of the incident,China Jerseys Free Shipping, she has had to borrow money from her friends in order to take care of her son’s medical expenses.The woman said that she needs the police to act on the matter so that justice can be served.The 12-year-old lad is still a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital and is expected to be released on Tuesday.

– Ethiopia, Niger,nfl jerseys china, Haiti receive US$20The world’s most water-deprived countries are receiving help from the World Bank to improve conditions. A study said that water shortages are being felt in more than 40 countries and are at risk of getting worse, a Washington Post report said yesterday.Guyana receives US$140 per capita of World Bank water related projects while Ethiopia,Billy Price Jersey, Haiti and Niger get $20, a study has shown.About a third of the bank’s total lending — more than $54 billion — was linked to water shortages between 1997 and 2007, but there was little correlation between the flow of funds and the depth of a country’s water problems, according to the report from the bank’s Independent Evaluation Group.Ethiopia,NFL Jerseys Supply, Haiti and Niger, for example, all ranked at the bottom of a Water Poverty Index analysts used to measure the availability of water in a country against demand.All three had received only about $20 per capita in World Bank funding for water projects — compared with the more than $140 per capita provided to Guyana, a country classified as “water-rich.”There is “no clear relationship between Bank water lending and water stress” in a country, the report noted, outlining the mismatch as one of several areas the bank needs to address in helping the less developed and developing world tackle water shortages that are expected to grow severe in coming decades.Within five years,Cheap Jerseys, the number of people without access to clean drinking water may reach 800 million, and the number lacking basic sanitation could hit 1.8 billion,Wholesale China Jerseys, the IEG said in a statement accompanying the release of the report.Jamal Saghir, the bank’s director of energy, transport and water, said the evaluation report overlooked what he described as a rapid shift in the bank’s priorities toward water projects overall and particularly in funding for the nations facing the worst problems.He said that bank funding for water projects had tripled since 2003 and that about 60 percent of the funding for active projects was going to water-poor nations. “We’ve been moving on this,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,” Saghir said.The study found that although the World Bank in general was managing water projects better than in the past and completing them successfully, it needed to do more on basic issues such as sanitation and help countries control demand by charging appropriate tariffs to farmers and other heavy users.The issue is a politically sensitive one, particularly in nations that subsidise the water rates paid by farmers to sustain sometimes inefficient domestic farming operations and protect the associated jobs.“We are not saying that in Bank projects the poorest farmers have to cover the full cost of the water they are using,” said Ronald Parker, the lead author of the report. But “we would like more frankness on this topic. . . . Countries have begun a process of rationalisation that in the way they use water, there are tradeoffs to make.”Bank analysts, he noted, are preparing more direct assessments of water policy, so that countries can understand how a farm irrigation programme in one part of the country might affect the water supply in a distant urban area — and the costs involved in each.The misalignment of bank funding and water needs is not only the bank’s fault, said Parker and Vinod Thomas, head of the Independent Evaluation Group, an arm of the World Bank that assesses the effectiveness of its programmes. Countries set their own priorities when deciding what projects to fund and may have different ideas about what is most urgent.
