This Portuguese bank formalizes a move after 6 years that may be visible when you receive a letter at home

Caixa Geral de Depósitos approved the move of its registered office to Parque das Nações, in Lisbon, at Avenida Dom João II, No. 1, with effects from September 1. The institution's Board of Directors approved the change, although the registration with the Commercial Registry was still pending at the time of the market communication.

The process of searching for new premises for the central services began in 2020, with the aim of accommodating approximately 2,500 workers. The acquisition of the WellBe building, where the new headquarters will be located, was formalized in February 2024, with the physical transfer expected to be completed by the end of September.

The move ends a permanence of about three decades in the former building on Avenida João XXI, which will continue to house some departments of Caixa, including the institution's social services. The former headquarters building, now designated Campus XXI, also started housing several ministries and other Public Administration bodies, as well as Culturgest.

Once the commercial registration is completed, the new address may start appearing on the legal identification found on letters and documents sent by the institution to customers, as determined by the Commercial Companies Code. Still on September 2, the official CGD mailing contacts page continued to show the old address on Avenida João XXI.

Had a car accident? Here are 6 things you should do to avoid insurance problems

The Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Authority (ASF) recommends six essential precautions to take after a car accident to avoid insurance problems: check for injuries and, if so, contact the authorities; collect identification data of drivers, vehicles and their respective insurance policies; take photographs of the damage and the accident scene; identify and collect contact details of potential witnesses; correctly fill out the Friendly Motor Vehicle Accident Statement, without needing to agree on fault; and report the claim to the insurer within the legal deadline of eight days. The ASF warns that, even when the other driver admits fault, it is essential to collect all this information, as the determination of responsibility is subsequently analyzed by the insurers based on the available evidence.

The author contends that these institutions are not neutral arbiters but active participants in a system they themselves helped create, even if inadvertently, and that the sooner they recognize this role, the better.

Cheap money is over. Japan sees 10-year interest rate hit 3% for the first time in 30 years

The yield on Japan's 10-year government bond hit 3% for the first time since September 1996, signaling the end of three decades of cheap money that sustained global markets through the carry trade mechanism, where investors borrowed yen almost free of charge in Tokyo to invest in higher-yielding assets in other markets. The Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates to 1.25% at the September meeting, with an 80% probability assigned by the market. The yield rise occurs in a context of fiscal fragility, with about one in four yen of the 2026 budget destined for public debt service, equivalent to 204% of GDP. Paradoxically, the yen remains weak, hovering around 160 per dollar, despite joint currency intervention with the United States in July. Japanese investors are selling US bonds at historic volumes, which could pressure yields in developed markets.
