Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) &8212; Gubre Fabrikalari TAS, a Turkish fertilizer maker known as Gubretas, is seeking to buy a phosphate producer in North Africa to tap access to cheaper raw materials, Chief Executive Officer Mehmet Koca said. The target phosphate company would supply Gubretas’s ctories in Turkey, and Gubretas may spend 150 million to 1 billion, Koca said in an interview today. The Istanbul-based company isn’t holding any concrete talks yet and there are no plans to hire a financial adviser, he said. Turkey, which uses 5 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, imports two-fifths of its requirements and fertilizer makers also ship in the raw materialsReplica Watches, Koca said. About 60 percent of Turkish fertilizer production is based on nitrogen and 30 percent on phosphate, he said. Gubretas bought half of Razi Petrochemical Co. for 650 million in 2008 as lower natural-gas prices in Iran spurred production of fertilizer raw materials such as ammonia and urea. We want to have something similar in North Africa to what we did in Iran, Koca said. We want to buy a phosphate maker so that the raw material for our phosphate-based fertilizer production becomes cheaper. Gubretas shares rose 1 percent to 10.7 liras at 4:31 p.m. in Istanbul trade, the highest level in four days. U.S. Sanctions Razi’s operations aren’t affected by trade sanctions on Iran for developing nuclear sites, which the U.S. says is for atomic bombs, an allegation rejected by the Persian Gulf nation. Razi’s trade with other countries is based on non-dollar currencies including Japanese yen and the euro, which are outside the U.S. embargo, Koca said. Razi sells its products inside Iran and also to markets like China, India and Bangladesh through Rain Trade Co., a company it owns in Turkey that transfers cash to Razi in Iranian riyals and other currencies, he said. Some Turkish state and private banks are also involved in currency transfers with Razi, he said, declining to name them. Gubretas aims to boost sales 6 percent this year, after 8 percent growth in 2011 to 2.3 billion liras (1.2 billion). Of the total, 1.2 billion liras is from TurkeyReplica Watches, Koca said. Iranian unit Razi had a profit of 250 million in 2011, he said. The fertilizer market in Turkey is expected to grow 3 percent this year after it shrank 2 percent in 2011 with increased prices.

Jonathan and union leaders will resume talks tomorrow after holding fruitful negotiations yesterday in Abuja, the capital, Abdulwaheed Omar, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, told reporters. The strike has limited trading in stocks and the national currency as well as closed ports and banks and sparked street protests. The unions are trying to force Jonathan to reverse his decision on Jan. 1 to scrap 1.2 trillion naira (7.4 billion) in fuel subsidies that more than doubled gasoline prices.

Gasoline Prices Gasoline prices in Nigeria, where two-thirds of the population of about 164 million live on less than 1.25 a day, had been capped at 65 naira a liter (0.3 gallon), undermining investment in refineries that forced the West African nation to import about 70 percent of its fuel. The cost of the strike to the economy may be more than 1 billion a day, Gregory Kronsten, head of macroeconomic research at FBN Capital Ltd. in London, wrote in an e-mailed note yesterday. Nigeria’s benchmark stock index may extend its 21 percent drop over the past 12 months if the strike disrupts oil exports, investor Mark Mobius said. We could have some very substantial corrections as a result of these moves, particularly if the unions succeed in cutting off the exports of petroleum, Mobius, who helps oversee about 40 billion as executive chairman of Franklin Templeton Investment’s Emerging Markets Group, said yesterday in a phone interview from Cancun, Mexico.

At least 90 percent of Nigeria’s crude is pumped by Shell, based in The Hague, Exxon Mobil Corp., San Ramon, California-based Chevron Corp., Total SA and Eni SpA in joint ventures with the state- owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. An attempt by the unions to shut down production would not necessarily have an immediate or severe impact on operations due to the high level of automation in the process, the presence of non-unionized and foreign workers and tight security at oil installations, IHS Global Insight Africa analyst Sebastian Boe said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.

At the moment, Derulos condition has not been disclosed, and theres no word on whether his tour will be delayed. If on schedule, the tour begins on February 23 in Glasgow. Derulos representative is expected to release a formal statement soon. Derulo is best-known for single Whatcha Say, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009. At the time, he toldBillboard:&8220;They say the odds of your first single going No. 1 are like being hit by lightning seven times.

Jan. 5 (Bloomberg) &8212; General Motors Co. said it will improve the Chevrolet Volt’s vehicle structure and battery- coolant system to better protect against fires after crashes. GM is the change in response to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation, the automaker said on its website. GM’s fixes may or may not conclude NHTSA’s investigation, North America President Mark Reuss said. We are optimistic this will have a positive outcome, Reuss said on a conference call with journalists. You’ve got to ask NHTSA. The company said it’s asking all 8,000 Volt owners to bring their cars to dealerships to have the changes madeReplica Cartier watches, including strengthening part of the vehicle safety structure to better protect the battery pack and adding a sensor in the reservoir of the battery-coolant system. Future Volts will also have those features, GM said. NHTSA hasn’t concluded its investigation, the agency said on its website. Preliminary results of a crash test indicate GM’s changes should address the issue. The agency started investigating the Volt after a side- impact crash test in May led to a fire three weeks later. During that test, the battery pack was broken open and some of the vehicle’s coolant leaked into the battery, Rob Peterson, a GM spokesman, said in a phone interview. When the car was rotated as part of the test, more coolant leaked into the battery pack and came in contact with a circuit board, he said, and over time, a reaction occurred and caught fire. NHTSA replicated the fire in three more tests in November and Cheap Watche gostarted an official investigation Nov. 25. GM’s Fixes To remedy the problem, GM will reinforce the structure on the sides of the car to spread energy away from the battery during a side-impact crash. The fix should prevent intrusion into the battery pack, Peterson said. The coolant sensor will notify the driver if coolant levels are dropping st to warn of potential leaks. If coolant levels drop st enough, the driver can’t recharge the battery, Peterson said. GM is voluntarily asking Volt owners to bring their cars in for service before NHTSA has concluded the investigation. That avoids designating the action as an official recall because it isn’t being coordinated through NHTSA. Lowered Demand The investigation lowered demand for the car, according to Bandon, Oregon-based CNW Marketing Research Inc. U.S. dealers sold a total of 7,671 Volts last year, missing GM’s target of 10,000 for 2011. GM plans to expand production of the Volt to 60,000 this year, with 45,000 of the car earmarked for the U.S. Not including sales to corporate fleet customers, GM sold 992 Volts in December and ended the month with 4,200 in inventory. It remains to be seen if GM can raise Volt sales to the level that the company aims to produce, Reuss said. GM won’t make too many, he said. What true demand is is a great unknown, Reuss said. That’s a good question. We’re going to match supply with demand. GM gained 4.8 percent to 22.17 at the close in New York. &8211;With assistance from Angela Greiling Keane in Washington.

Before heading to their hotels, many took a round of the city and were amazed to see the development. &8216;Jaipur has managed to keep its culture alive despite all the modernity,&8217; Ibrahim Shah, a business man from Malaysia, told IANS. Some delegates had business on their mind, but most of them were in a mood for fun and were trying to grasp Rajasthan&8217;s rich and ancient culture. &8216;I won&8217;t forget the way we were received at the airport and the preparations for our welcome.

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) &8212; Empresas La Polar SA, seeking to avert its second bankruptcy in 13 years, rose by a record after a Chilean court cleared the department-store chain to restructure overdue client debt. La Polar surged 26 percent, the biggest gain since the shares started trading in 2003, to 218.4 pesos at the close in Santiago, recovering ground lost in the previous seven days. The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by consumer protection agency Sernac to prevent La Polar from negotiating new credit terms with all clients that the company had previously modified unilaterally in a 1 billion fraud case. Shares tumbled earlier this month after La Polar said it may have to set aside an additional 34.5 million in provisions because of a lower court suspension of all client debt restructuring. That ban was subsequently limited to 1Replica handbags,000 clients involved in a class action lawsuit against the company. We are unaware of special circumstances that would explain the variation other that those opportunely informed by the company to the respective authorities and the market in generalReplica Watches, La Polar said in a written response to a Santiago stock exchange query on today’s share price surge. &8211;Editor: Glenn J.

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) &8212; Gubre Fabrikalari TAS, a Turkish fertilizer maker known as Gubretas, is seeking to buy a phosphate producer in North Africa to tap access to cheaper raw materials, Chief Executive Officer Mehmet Koca said. The target phosphate company would supply Gubretas’s ctories in Turkey, and Gubretas may spend 150 million to 1 billion, Koca said in an interview today. The Istanbul-based company isn’t holding any concrete talks yet and there are no plans to hire a financial adviser, he said. Turkey, which uses 5 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, imports two-fifths of its requirements and fertilizer makers also ship in the raw materialsReplica Watches, Koca said. About 60 percent of Turkish fertilizer production is based on nitrogen and 30 percent on phosphate, he said. Gubretas bought half of Razi Petrochemical Co. for 650 million in 2008 as lower natural-gas prices in Iran spurred production of fertilizer raw materials such as ammonia and urea. We want to have something similar in North Africa to what we did in Iran, Koca said. We want to buy a phosphate maker so that the raw material for our phosphate-based fertilizer production becomes cheaper. Gubretas shares rose 1 percent to 10.7 liras at 4:31 p.m. in Istanbul trade, the highest level in four days. U.S. Sanctions Razi’s operations aren’t affected by trade sanctions on Iran for developing nuclear sites, which the U.S. says is for atomic bombs, an allegation rejected by the Persian Gulf nation. Razi’s trade with other countries is based on non-dollar currencies including Japanese yen and the euro, which are outside the U.S. embargo, Koca said. Razi sells its products inside Iran and also to markets like China, India and Bangladesh through Rain Trade Co., a company it owns in Turkey that transfers cash to Razi in Iranian riyals and other currencies, he said. Some Turkish state and private banks are also involved in currency transfers with Razi, he said, declining to name them. Gubretas aims to boost sales 6 percent this year, after 8 percent growth in 2011 to 2.3 billion liras (1.2 billion). Of the total, 1.2 billion liras is from TurkeyReplica Watches, Koca said. Iranian unit Razi had a profit of 250 million in 2011, he said. The fertilizer market in Turkey is expected to grow 3 percent this year after it shrank 2 percent in 2011 with increased prices. Prices will ll this year and this will grow the market, he said. &8211;Editors: Andrew Noel, Tom Lavell To contact the reporter on this story: Ercan Ersoy in Istanbul at eersoy@bloomberg.net To contact the editor responsible for this story: Benedikt Kammel at bkammel@bloomberg.net Business Exchange E-mail Print READER DISCUSSION By Elisha Bala-Gbogbo and Chris KayJan. 13 (Bloomberg) &8212; Nigeria’s general strike entered its fifth day, threatening oil exports from Africa’s top producer, after President Goodluck Jonathan and labor leaders iled to end a dispute over fuel subsidies. Jonathan and union leaders will resume talks tomorrow after holding fruitful negotiations yesterday in Abuja, the capital, Abdulwaheed Omar, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, told reporters. The strike has limited trading in stocks and the national currency as well as closed ports and banks and sparked street protests. The unions are trying to force Jonathan to reverse his decision on Jan. 1 to scrap 1.2 trillion naira (7.4 billion) in fuel subsidies that more than doubled gasoline prices. The oil union Pengassan said yesterday it would begin shutting down crude production on Jan. 15 if there was no deal with the government, while its counterpart Nupeng said it has withdrawn its workers from fields operated by companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc. JonathanTag heuer replica watches, who won a four-year term in April, pledged to use savings to invest in power plants and roads in sub-Saharan Africa’s second-largest economy. At the same time he ces an increase in religious violence in parts of the north where he has declared a state of emergency and says Islamic militants pose a worse threat to the country than the 1967-70 civil war. More than 85 people have died in bomb and gun attacks since Christmas Day on churches in Abuja, and in the north that the authorities blame on Boko Haram. Crude for February delivery rose 87 cents to 99.97 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 6:48 a.m. in London. Gasoline Prices Gasoline prices in Nigeria, where two-thirds of the population of about 164 million live on less than 1.25 a day, had been capped at 65 naira a liter (0.3 gallon), undermining investment in refineries that forced the West African nation to import about 70 percent of its fuel. The cost of the strike to the economy may be more than 1 billion a day, Gregory Kronsten, head of macroeconomic research at FBN Capital Ltd. in London, wrote in an e-mailed note yesterday. Nigeria’s benchmark stock index may extend its 21 percent drop over the past 12 months if the strike disrupts oil exports, investor Mark Mobius said. We could have some very substantial corrections as a result of these moves, particularly if the unions succeed in cutting off the exports of petroleum, Mobius, who helps oversee about 40 billion as executive chairman of Franklin Templeton Investment’s Emerging Markets Group, said yesterday in a phone interview from Cancun, Mexico. Stock Exchange The value of trading yesterday on the Nigerian Stock Exchange was 350 million naira, according to figures e-mailed by the bourse. Normal trading is 2 billion naira a day, Samuel Onukwue, managing director of Mega Equnaira Ltd., a Lagos-based brokerage, said by phone. Nigeria pumped about 2.2 million barrels of oil a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. At least 90 percent of Nigeria’s crude is pumped by Shell, based in The Hague, Exxon Mobil Corp., San Ramon, California-based Chevron Corp., Total SA and Eni SpA in joint ventures with the state- owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. An attempt by the unions to shut down production would not necessarily have an immediate or severe impact on operations due to the high level of automation in the process, the presence of non-unionized and foreign workers and tight security at oil installations, IHS Global Insight Africa analyst Sebastian Boe said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. Oil accounts for about 80 percent of state revenue and more than 95 percent of export incomeReplica Tag heuer watches, according to the Finance Ministry. Cocoa prices have gained 8.2 percent this week in London on concern the strike will stop shipments from the world’s fourth- biggest producer of the chocolate ingredient. The labor action has halted cocoa grading and transportation of the beans from rms, according to the Cocoa Association of Nigeria. &8211;Editors: Karl Maier, Antony Sguazzin To contact the reporters on this story: Elisha Bala-Gbogbo in Abuja at ebalagbogbo@bloomberg.net; Chris Kay in Abuja at ckay5@bloomberg.net To contact the editor responsible for this story: Antony Sguazzin at asguazzin@bloomberg.net Business Exchange E-mail Print READER DISCUSSION By Peter Millard(Updates with discovery dimensions in second paragraph.)

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) &8212; Gubre Fabrikalari TAS, a Turkish fertilizer maker known as Gubretas, is seeking to buy a phosphate producer in North Africa to tap access to cheaper raw materials, Chief Executive Officer Mehmet Koca said. The target phosphate company would supply Gubretas’s ctories in Turkey, and Gubretas may spend 150 million to 1 billion, Koca said in an interview today. The Istanbul-based company isn’t holding any concrete talks yet and there are no plans to hire a financial adviser, he said. Turkey, which uses 5 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, imports two-fifths of its requirements and fertilizer makers also ship in the raw materialsReplica Watches, Koca said. About 60 percent of Turkish fertilizer production is based on nitrogen and 30 percent on phosphate, he said. Gubretas bought half of Razi Petrochemical Co. for 650 million in 2008 as lower natural-gas prices in Iran spurred production of fertilizer raw materials such as ammonia and urea. We want to have something Beats Studio by Dr Dre Diamond Headphone White From Monster similar in North Africa to what we did in Iran, Koca said. We want to buy a phosphate maker so that the raw material for our phosphate-based fertilizer production becomes cheaper. Gubretas shares rose 1 percent to 10.7 liras at 4:31 p.m. in Istanbul trade, the highest level in four days. U.S. Sanctions Razi’s operations aren’t affected by trade sanctions on Iran for developing nuclear sites, which the U.S. says is for atomic bombs, an allegation rejected by the Persian Gulf nation. Razi’s trade with other countries is based on non-dollar currencies including Japanese yen and the euro, which are outside the U.S. embargo, Koca said. Razi sells its products inside Iran and also to markets like China, India and Bangladesh through Rain Trade Co., a company it owns in Turkey that transfers cash to Razi in Iranian riyals and other currencies, he said. Some Turkish state and private banks are also involved in currency transfers with Razi, he said, declining to name them. Gubretas aims to boost sales 6 percent this year, after 8 percent growth in 2011 to 2.3 billion liras (1.2 billion). Of the total, 1.2 billion liras is from TurkeyReplica Watches, Koca said. Iranian unit Razi had a profit of 250 million in 2011, he said. The fertilizer market in Turkey is expected to grow 3 percent this year after it shrank 2 percent in 2011 with increased prices.

Jonathan and union leaders will resume talks tomorrow after holding fruitful negotiations yesterday in Abuja, the capital, Abdulwaheed Omar, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, told reporters. The strike has limited trading in stocks and the national currency as well as closed ports and banks and sparked street protests. The unions are trying to force Jonathan to reverse his decision on Jan. 1 to scrap 1.2 trillion naira (7.4 billion) in fuel subsidies that more than doubled gasoline prices. The oil union Pengassan said yesterday it would begin shutting down crude production on Jan. 15 if there was no deal with the government, while its counterpart Nupeng said it has withdrawn its workers from fields operated by companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

More than 85 people have died in bomb and gun attacks since Christmas Day on churches in Abuja, and in the north that the authorities blame on Boko Haram. Crude for February delivery rose 87 cents to 99.97 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 6:48 a.m. in London. Gasoline Prices Gasoline prices in Nigeria, where two-thirds of the population of about 164 million live on less than 1.25 a day, had been capped at 65 naira a liter (0.3 gallon), undermining investment in refineries that forced the West African nation to import about 70 percent of its fuel. The cost of the strike to the economy may be more than 1 billion a day, Gregory Kronsten, head of macroeconomic research at FBN Capital Ltd. in London, wrote in an e-mailed note yesterday. Nigeria’s benchmark stock index may extend its 21 percent drop over the past 12 months if the strike disrupts oil exports, investor Mark Mobius said. We could have some very substantial corrections as a result of these moves, particularly if the unions succeed in cutting off the exports of petroleum, Mobius, who helps oversee about 40 billion as executive chairman of Franklin Templeton Investment’s Emerging Markets Group, said yesterday in a phone interview from Cancun, Mexico. Stock Exchange The value of trading yesterday on the Nigerian Stock Exchange was 350 million naira, according to figures e-mailed by the bourse. Normal trading is 2 billion naira a day, Samuel Onukwue, managing director of Mega Equnaira Ltd., a Lagos-based brokerage, said by phone. Nigeria pumped about 2.2 million barrels of oil a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. At least 90 percent of Nigeria’s crude is pumped by Shell, based in The Hague, Exxon Mobil Corp., San Ramon, California-based Chevron Corp., Total SA and Eni SpA in joint ventures with the state- owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. An attempt by the unions to shut down production would not necessarily have an immediate or severe impact on operations due to the high level of automation in the process, the presence of non-unionized and foreign workers and tight security at oil installations, IHS Global Insight Africa analyst Sebastian Boe said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.

Jan. 5 (Bloomberg) &8212; General Motors Co. said it will improve the Chevrolet Volt’s vehicle structure and battery- coolant system to better protect against fires after crashes. GM is the change in response to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation, the automaker said on its website. GM’s fixes may or may not conclude NHTSA’s investigation, North America President Mark Reuss said. We are optimistic this will have a positive outcome, Reuss said on a conference call with journalists. You’ve got to ask NHTSA. The company said it’s asking all 8,000 Volt owners to bring their cars to dealerships to have the changes madeReplica Cartier watches, including strengthening part of the vehicle safety structure to better protect the battery pack and adding a sensor in the reservoir of the battery-coolant system. Future Volts will also have those features, GM said. NHTSA hasn’t concluded its investigation, the agency said on its website. Preliminary results of a crash test indicate GM’s changes should address the issue. The Solo Beats by Dr Dre HD Diamond Red agency started investigating the Volt after a side- impact crash test in May led to a fire three weeks later. During that test, the battery pack was broken open and some of the vehicle’s coolant leaked into the battery, Rob Peterson, a GM spokesman, said in a phone interview. When the car was rotated as part of the test, more coolant leaked into the battery pack and came in contact with a circuit board, he said, and over time, a reaction occurred and caught fire. NHTSA replicated the fire in three more tests in November and Cheap Watche gostarted an official investigation Nov. 25. GM’s Fixes To remedy the problem, GM will reinforce the structure on the sides of the car to spread energy away from the battery during a side-impact crash. The fix should prevent intrusion into the battery pack, Peterson said. The coolant sensor will notify the driver if coolant levels are dropping st to warn of potential leaks. If coolant levels drop st enough, the driver can’t recharge the battery, Peterson said. GM is voluntarily asking Volt owners to bring their cars in for service before NHTSA has concluded the investigation. That avoids designating the action as an official recall because it isn’t being coordinated through NHTSA. Lowered Demand The investigation lowered demand for the car, according to Bandon, Oregon-based CNW Marketing Research Inc. U.S. dealers sold a total of 7,671 Volts last year, missing GM’s target of 10,000 for 2011. GM plans to expand production of the Volt to 60,000 this year, with 45,000 of the car earmarked for the U.S. Not including sales to corporate fleet customers, GM sold 992 Volts in December and ended the month with 4,200 in inventory. It remains to be seen if GM can raise Volt sales to the level that the company aims to produce, Reuss said. GM won’t make too many, he said. What true demand is is a great unknown, Reuss said. That’s a good question. We’re going to match supply with demand. GM gained 4.8 percent to 22.17 at the close in New York. &8211;With assistance from Angela Greiling Keane in Washington.

GM’s fixes may or may not conclude NHTSA’s investigation, North America President Mark Reuss said. We are optimistic this will have a positive outcome, Reuss said on a conference call with journalists. You’ve got to ask NHTSA. The company said it’s asking all 8,000 Volt owners to bring their cars to dealerships to have the changes madeReplica Cartier watches, including strengthening part of the vehicle safety structure to better protect the battery pack and adding a sensor in the reservoir of the battery-coolant system. Future Volts will also have those features, GM said. NHTSA hasn’t concluded its investigation, the agency said on its website. Preliminary results of a crash test indicate GM’s changes should address the issue. The agency started investigating the Volt after a side- impact crash test in May led to a fire three weeks later. During that test, the battery pack was broken open and some of the vehicle’s coolant leaked into the battery, Rob Peterson, a GM spokesman, said in a phone interview. When the car was rotated as part of the test, more coolant leaked into the battery pack and came in contact with a circuit board, he said, and over time, a reaction occurred and caught fire.

GM’s Fixes To remedy the problem, GM will reinforce the structure on the sides of the car to spread energy away from the battery during a side-impact crash.

If coolant levels drop st enough, the driver can’t recharge the battery, Peterson said. GM is voluntarily asking Volt owners to bring their cars in for service before NHTSA has concluded the investigation. That avoids designating the action as an official recall because it isn’t being coordinated through NHTSA. Lowered Demand The investigation lowered demand for the car, according to Bandon, Oregon-based CNW Marketing Research Inc. U.S. dealers sold a total of 7,671 Volts last year, missing GM’s target of 10,000 for 2011. GM plans to expand production of the Volt to 60,000 this year, with 45,000 of the car earmarked for the U.S. Not including sales to corporate fleet customers, GM sold 992 Volts in December and ended the month with 4,200 in inventory. It remains to be seen if GM can raise Volt sales to the level that the company aims to produce, Reuss said. GM won’t make too many, he said. What true demand is is a great unknown, Reuss said. That’s a good question. We’re going to match supply with demand. GM gained 4.8 percent to 22.17 at the close in New York. &8211;With assistance from Angela Greiling Keane in Washington.

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) &8212; Empresas La Polar SA, seeking to avert its second bankruptcy in 13 years, rose by a record after a Chilean court cleared the department-store chain to restructure overdue client debt. La Polar surged 26 percent, the biggest gain since the shares started trading in 2003, to 218.4 pesos at the close in Santiago, recovering ground lost in the previous seven days. The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by consumer protection agency Sernac to prevent La Polar from negotiating new credit terms with all clients that the company had previously modified unilaterally in a 1 billion fraud case. Shares tumbled earlier this month after La Polar said it may have to set aside an additional 34.5 million in provisions because of a lower court suspension of all client debt restructuring. That ban was subsequently limited to 1Replica handbags,000 clients involved in a class action lawsuit against the company.

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) &8212; Gubre Fabrikalari TAS, a Turkish fertilizer maker known as Gubretas, is seeking to buy a phosphate producer in North Africa to tap access to cheaper raw materials, Chief Executive Officer Mehmet Koca said. The target phosphate company would supply Gubretas’s ctories in Turkey, and Gubretas may spend 150 million to 1 billion, Koca said in an interview today. The Istanbul-based company isn’t holding any concrete talks yet and there are no plans to hire a financial adviser, he said. Turkey, which uses 5 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, imports two-fifths of its requirements and fertilizer makers also ship in the raw materialsReplica Watches, Koca said. About 60 percent of Turkish fertilizer production is based on nitrogen and 30 percent on phosphate, he said. Gubretas bought half of Razi Petrochemical Co. for 650 million in 2008 as lower natural-gas prices in Iran spurred production of fertilizer raw materials such as ammonia and urea. We want to have something similar in North Africa to what we did in Iran, Koca said. We want to buy a phosphate maker so that the raw material for our phosphate-based fertilizer production becomes cheaper. Gubretas shares rose 1 percent to 10.7 liras at 4:31 p.m. in Istanbul trade, the highest level in four days. U.S. Sanctions Razi’s operations aren’t affected by trade sanctions on Iran for developing nuclear sites, which the U.S. says is for atomic bombs, an allegation rejected by the Persian Gulf nation. Razi’s trade with other countries is based on non-dollar currencies including Japanese yen and the euro, which are outside the U.S. embargo, Koca said. Razi sells its products inside Iran and also to markets like China, India and Bangladesh through Rain Trade Co., a company it owns in Turkey that transfers cash to Razi in Iranian riyals and other currencies, he said. Some Turkish state and private banks are also involved in currency transfers with Razi, he said, declining to name them. Gubretas aims to boost sales 6 percent this year, after 8 percent growth in 2011 to 2.3 billion liras (1.2 billion). Of the total, 1.2 billion liras is from TurkeyReplica Watches, Koca said. Iranian unit Razi had a profit of 250 million in 2011, he said. The fertilizer market in Turkey is expected to grow 3 percent this year after it shrank 2 percent in 2011 with increased prices. Prices will ll this year and this will grow the market, he said. &8211;Editors: Andrew Noel, Tom Lavell To contact the reporter on this story: Ercan Ersoy in Istanbul at eersoy@bloomberg.net To contact the editor responsible for this story: Benedikt Kammel at bkammel@bloomberg.net Business Exchange E-mail Print READER DISCUSSION By Elisha Bala-Gbogbo and Chris KayJan. 13 (Bloomberg) &8212; Nigeria’s general strike entered Studio Beats by Dr Dre Justin Bieber Headphone Purple From Monster its fifth day, threatening oil exports from Africa’s top producer, after President Goodluck Jonathan and labor leaders iled to end a dispute over fuel subsidies. Jonathan and union leaders will resume talks tomorrow after holding fruitful negotiations yesterday in Abuja, the capital, Abdulwaheed Omar, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, told reporters. The strike has limited trading in stocks and the national currency as well as closed ports and banks and sparked street protests. The unions are trying to force Jonathan to reverse his decision on Jan. 1 to scrap 1.2 trillion naira (7.4 billion) in fuel subsidies that more than doubled gasoline prices. The oil union Pengassan said yesterday it would begin shutting down crude production on Jan. 15 if there was no deal with the government, while its counterpart Nupeng said it has withdrawn its workers from fields operated by companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc. JonathanTag heuer replica watches, who won a four-year term in April, pledged to use savings to invest in power plants and roads in sub-Saharan Africa’s second-largest economy.

Crude for February delivery rose 87 cents to 99.97 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 6:48 a.m. in London. Gasoline Prices Gasoline prices in Nigeria, where two-thirds of the population of about 164 million live on less than 1.25 a day, had been capped at 65 naira a liter (0.3 gallon), undermining investment in refineries that forced the West African nation to import about 70 percent of its fuel. The cost of the strike to the economy may be more than 1 billion a day, Gregory Kronsten, head of macroeconomic research at FBN Capital Ltd. in London, wrote in an e-mailed note yesterday. Nigeria’s benchmark stock index may extend its 21 percent drop over the past 12 months if the strike disrupts oil exports, investor Mark Mobius said. We could have some very substantial corrections as a result of these moves, particularly if the unions succeed in cutting off the exports of petroleum, Mobius, who helps oversee about 40 billion as executive Solo Beats By Dr Dre HD High Definition with ControlTalk Headphone Purple From Monster chairman of Franklin Templeton Investment’s Emerging Markets Group, said yesterday in a phone interview from Cancun, Mexico. Stock Exchange The value of trading yesterday on the Nigerian Stock Exchange was 350 million naira, according to figures e-mailed by the bourse.

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) &8212; Empresas La Polar SA, seeking to avert its second bankruptcy in 13 years, rose by a record after a Chilean court cleared the department-store chain to restructure overdue client debt. La Polar surged 26 percent, the biggest gain since the shares started trading in 2003, to 218.4 pesos at the close in Santiago, recovering ground lost in the previous seven days. The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by consumer protection agency Sernac to prevent La Polar from negotiating new credit terms with all clients that the company had previously modified unilaterally in a 1 billion fraud case. Shares tumbled earlier this month after La Polar said it may have to set aside an additional 34.5 million in provisions because of a lower court suspension of all client debt restructuring. That ban was subsequently limited to 1Replica handbags,000 clients involved in a class action lawsuit against the company. We are unaware of special circumstances that would explain the variation other that those opportunely informed by the company to the respective authorities and the market in generalReplica Watches, La Polar said in a written response to a Santiago stock exchange query on today’s share price surge. &8211;Editor: Glenn J.

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) &8212; Gubre Fabrikalari TAS, a Turkish fertilizer maker known as Gubretas, is seeking to buy a phosphate producer in North Africa to tap access to cheaper raw materials, Chief Executive Officer Mehmet Koca said. The target phosphate company would supply Gubretas’s ctories in Turkey, and Gubretas may spend 150 million to 1 billion, Koca said in an interview today. The Istanbul-based company isn’t holding any concrete talks yet and there are no plans to hire a financial adviser, he said. Turkey, which uses 5 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, imports two-fifths of its requirements and fertilizer makers also ship in the raw materialsReplica Watches, Koca said. About 60 percent of Turkish fertilizer production is based on nitrogen and 30 percent on phosphate, he said. Gubretas bought half of Razi Petrochemical Co. for 650 million in 2008 as lower natural-gas prices in Iran spurred production of fertilizer raw materials such as ammonia and urea. We want to have something similar in North Africa to what we did in Iran, Koca said. We want to buy a phosphate maker so that the raw material for our phosphate-based fertilizer production becomes cheaper. Gubretas shares rose 1 percent to 10.7 liras at 4:31 p.m. in Istanbul trade, the highest level in four days. U.S. Sanctions Razi’s operations aren’t affected by trade sanctions on Iran for developing nuclear sites, which the U.S. says is for atomic bombs, an allegation rejected by the Persian Gulf nation. Razi’s trade with other countries is based on non-dollar currencies including Japanese yen and the euro, which are outside the U.S. embargo, Koca said. Razi sells its products inside Iran and also to markets like China, India and Bangladesh through Rain Trade Co., a company it owns in Turkey that transfers cash to Razi in Iranian riyals and other currencies, he said. Some Turkish state and private banks are also involved in currency transfers with Razi, he said, declining to name them. Gubretas aims to boost sales 6 percent this year, after 8 percent growth in 2011 to 2.3 billion liras (1.2 billion). Of the total, 1.2 billion liras is from TurkeyReplica Watches, Koca said. Iranian unit Razi had a profit of 250 million in 2011, he said. The fertilizer market in Turkey is expected to grow 3 percent this year after it shrank 2 percent in 2011 with increased prices. Prices will ll this year and this will grow the market, he said. &8211;Editors: Andrew Noel, Tom Lavell To contact the reporter on this story: Ercan Ersoy in Istanbul at eersoy@bloomberg.net To contact the editor responsible for this story: Benedikt Kammel at bkammel@bloomberg.net Business Exchange E-mail Print READER DISCUSSION By Elisha Bala-Gbogbo and Chris KayJan. 13 (Bloomberg) &8212; Nigeria’s general strike entered its fifth day, threatening oil exports from Africa’s top producer, after President Goodluck Jonathan and labor leaders iled to end a dispute over fuel subsidies. Jonathan and union leaders will resume talks tomorrow after holding fruitful negotiations yesterday in Abuja, the capital, Abdulwaheed Omar, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, told reporters. The strike has limited trading in stocks and the national currency as well as closed ports and banks and sparked street protests. The unions are trying to force Jonathan to reverse his decision on Jan. 1 to scrap 1.2 trillion naira (7.4 billion) in fuel subsidies that more than doubled gasoline prices. The oil union Pengassan said yesterday it would begin shutting down crude production on Jan. 15 if there was no deal with the government, while its counterpart Nupeng said it has withdrawn its workers from fields operated by companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc. JonathanTag heuer replica watches, who won a four-year term in April, pledged to use savings to invest in power plants and roads in sub-Saharan Africa’s second-largest economy. At the same time he ces an increase in religious violence in parts of the north where he has declared a state of emergency and says Islamic militants pose a worse threat to the country than the 1967-70 civil war. More than 85 people have died in bomb and gun attacks since Christmas Day on churches in Abuja, and in the north that the authorities blame on Boko Haram. Crude for February delivery rose 87 cents to 99.97 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 6:48 a.m. in London. Gasoline Prices Gasoline prices in Nigeria, where two-thirds of the population of about 164 million live on less than 1.25 a day, had been capped at 65 naira a liter (0.3 gallon), undermining investment in refineries that forced the West African nation to import about 70 percent of its fuel. The cost of the strike to the economy may be more than 1 billion a day, Gregory Kronsten, head of macroeconomic research at FBN Capital Ltd. in London, wrote in an e-mailed note yesterday. Nigeria’s benchmark stock index may extend its 21 percent drop over the past 12 months if the strike disrupts oil exports, investor Mark Mobius said. We could have some very substantial corrections as a result of these moves, particularly if the unions succeed in cutting off the exports of petroleum, Mobius, who helps oversee about 40 billion as executive chairman of Franklin Templeton Investment’s Emerging Markets Group, said yesterday in a phone interview from Cancun, Mexico. Stock Exchange The value of trading yesterday on the Nigerian Stock Exchange was 350 million naira, according to figures e-mailed by the bourse. Normal trading is 2 billion naira a day, Samuel Onukwue, managing director of Mega Equnaira Ltd., a Lagos-based brokerage, said by phone. Nigeria pumped about 2.2 million barrels of oil a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. At least 90 percent of Nigeria’s crude is pumped by Shell, based in The Hague, Exxon Mobil Corp., San Ramon, California-based Chevron Corp., Total SA and Eni SpA in joint ventures with the state- owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. An attempt by the unions to shut down production would not necessarily have an immediate or severe impact on operations due to the high level of automation in the process, the presence of non-unionized and foreign workers and tight security at oil installations, IHS Global Insight Africa analyst Sebastian Boe said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. Oil accounts for about 80 percent of state revenue and more than 95 percent of export incomeReplica Tag heuer watches, according to the Finance Ministry. Cocoa prices have gained 8.2 percent this week in London on concern the strike will stop shipments from the world’s fourth- biggest producer of the chocolate ingredient.
