Premier League revenues soar but clubs still make a loss www.bbc.com

Premier League clubs posted record revenues of £3.6bn in 2015-16, but still struggled to make a profit.
The 20 top-flight English teams made a pre-tax loss of £110m, after two consecutive seasons in the black, according to figures from Deloitte.
Clubs saw increased player expenditure, operating costs and one-off charges.
The two Manchester clubs' revenues increased by a total of £160m - roughly half of the total revenue growth recorded by the Premier League clubs.
"The 2015-16 season saw Premier League clubs grow revenues by almost 10% ... with the two Manchester clubs alone responsible for more than 50% of the increase," said Dan Jones, head of the Sports Business Group at Deloitte.
European income
Mr Jones said Manchester United's participation in the 2015-16 Uefa Champions League, along with continued strong commercial revenue growth, resulted in a 30% increase in revenue to £515m, making them the world's highest revenue-generating club.
"Increased distributions to clubs competing in Europe, under the new Uefa broadcast rights cycle - notably Manchester City, who reached the semi-finals of the Uefa Champions League - also contributed to Premier League clubs' revenue growth," Mr Jones added.
Premier League 2015-16 in numbers (2014-15 in brackets)
Revenues - £3.6bn (£3.4bn in 2014-15)
Wage costs - £2.3bn (£2bn)
Other operating costs - £900m (£800m)
Operating profit - £500m (£500m)
Net player trading - £400m (£300m)
Other costs - £200m (£100m)

Looking at the combined losses, the first since the 2012-13 season, he said it was "worth noting that this is due to a small number of one-off 'exceptional' costs".
He said an example of these one-off items was Chelsea making a big financial provision against the early cancellation of their kit supply deal with Adidas.
Stadium expansion
Overall league revenues are set to be even higher in this season, thanks to the effects of the new television deal with Sky and BT, which kicked off last August and is worth a record £5.136bn for live Premier League TV rights over three seasons.
"We continue to see television deals go up, and there is no reason to believe that will end any time soon," said Mr Jones.
He said that as well as TV, there were other long-term revenue earners in the pipeline, principally the move by a number of clubs - including West Ham, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City - to expand their existing stadiums or move into bigger ones.

"It means that clubs will enjoy a growth in that most traditional of revenue streams, namely matchday income," said Mr Jones.
Another highly touted source of future income for clubs has been digital, but Mr Jones said that rather than bringing in huge sums in its own right, digital could be used to enhance the clubs' existing commercial connections with fans and sponsors.
And he said that at the top of the Premier League, clubs would constantly look to add to their global rosters of sponsors.
However, one potential worrying sign for clubs is that player and wage costs were on the rise again in 2015-16, with gross transfer spending in 2015-16 at a record and salaries up by 12% to £2.3bn,

In addition, gross transfer spend in 2015-16 was a record, although this has since been surpassed by player spending in the 2016-17 season reaching almost £1.4bn - eclipsing the previous high by one-third.
But Mr Jones said that whereas in the past, the ratio of player wages to income rose steeply when a new TV deal was signed, this time, "it is reassuring to see that there is more balance."
In 2015-16 wages accounted for 64% of income, compared with 71% in 2012-13 and 69% in 2009-10.
Meanwhile, combined operating profits for 2015-16 - which strip out the effects of player trading, net interest charges and the changing value of player contracts - remained stable at £500m, the same as in the previous 2014-15 season.

Gold prices will continue to climb due to geopolitical tensions - analysts www.rt.com

 
The price of gold has risen 12 percent this year, and the surge will only continue, according to bank Intesa Sanpaolo, marked by Bloomberg as the best forecaster for the metal last quarter. Analysts at Saxo Bank agree.
The precious metal approached $1,300 per troy ounce on Tuesday before retreating to $1,283 on Wednesday.
 
Intesa analyst Daniela Corsini told Bloomberg prices could fall in mid-year as the US Federal Reserve hikes interest rates, but they are likely to bounce back, reaching $1,350 an ounce at year-end.
 
“Markets will surely remain nervous about this uncertainty. And if economic data in the US remains strong, then gold will regain its role as an inflation hedge,” she told the media.
 
India, the world's second-biggest gold market, has recovered from the government’s ban on larger banknotes, and the demand will grow there, Corsini predicted.
 
In India, the “impact of the demonetization scheme has run its course, and we had very strong imports in February and March,” she said.
 
Corsini added that in Europe traders will use gold as a safe haven ahead of elections in France, Germany, and the UK.
 
Investors are also worried about geopolitical tension in Syria, Afghanistan, and Turkey as well as US relations with Russia and China.
 
"Short-term risk is skewed to the downside, but underlying support is there with the focus on political uncertainties. We see the yen continuing to strengthen, and a strong yen and strong gold have gone hand-in-hand since November," Saxo Bank's head of commodity strategy Ole Hansen said on Wednesday.
 
"Also expectations about the dollar are up for revision, the strong dollar story is fading. [US President Donald] Trump is talking it down, and we're seeing weakness creep into US data, changing the perception of how much rates have to rise," he added.

Mongolia's first satellite-launch project introduced www.en.montsame.mn

 
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Within the framework of an international BIRDS project, a joint team of the Kyushu Institute of Technology of Japan and the National University of Mongolia (NUM) is working to launch a satellite into space this year.
The Joint Global Multi Nation BIRDS (JGMNB) project is a cross-border interdisciplinary spectral and infrared remote detection (BIRD) satellite project for non-space faring countries supported by Japan. Ghana, Mongolia, Nigeria, and Bangladesh are some of the seven countries participating in the project.
Each country team in the project is creating their own country satellite into space and Mongolia's satellite is named Mazaalai - the Mongolian Gobi Bear, which would be a symbol of the sovereignty of Mongolia. Three Mongolian students pursuing a doctorate degree at the Kyushu Institute of Technology, D.Erdenebaatar, D.Amartuvshin and T.Turtogtokh are in the team to build the first Mongolian satellite.
Last February, a press conference was held to deliver the “Mazaalai” satellite to the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. The satellite will soon be transferred to NASA to be sent into space along with the regular supplies of the International Space Station in SpaceX rocket.
On April 13, the project team, including leader of the Mongolian team in the project R.Tsolmon, who is Dean of Aerospace and Surveillance Research Laboratory of the NUM introduced the progress of the BIRDS project and Mazaalai satellite to Mongolian public.

Vietnam treasures traditional friendship with Mongolia www.english.vietnamnet.vn

 
Congratulating Mongolia on its socio-economic achievements over the past years, Phuc said the two countries’ leaders agreed to facilitate high-level exchanges and cooperation across the fields of diplomacy, national defence-security, among others, as well as tap the role of the Inter-governmental Committee to boost economic-trade ties and increase mutual support at multilateral forums.
Vietnam is determined to build a constructive and action-minded government and willing to offer support to foreign enterprises, including those from Mongolia, to coordinate with Vietnamese partners, he said.
The host wished that during his tenure, the ambassador would accelerate the effective implementation of agreements reached by their leaders and study ways to lift two-way trade.
He suggested enhancing bilateral tourism and labour cooperation and expressed his belief that the ambassador would fulfill his assigned tasks to contribute to developing bilateral ties.
Dash, for his part, vowed to do his best to lift two-way trade on par with the two countries’ potential.
With strength in oil and gas and cotton, Mongolia wants to work closely with Vietnam, and vice versa, Vietnam which boasts strength in farm produce and fruits, could boost exports to Mongolia, he said.
He assured the host that more meetings of the Inter-Governmental Committee would be held to seek measures to intensify bilateral economic, trade, investment ties as well as people-to-people exchange.-
