Germany issues 10-year bond at negative interest rate for first time
Germany economy
Frankfurt - Arab Today
Germany issued a 10-year bond at a negative interest for the first time on Wednesday, selling more than 4.0 billion euros ($4.5 billion) with a yield of minus 0.05 percent, the German central bank or Bundesbank said.
The 10-year German government bond or "Bund" acts as a benchmark on the debt markets and regarded as one of the safest investments.
It is the first time that investors have accepted negative returns in the first issue of a bond, meaning they will pay for the privilege of owning rock-solid German bonds amid fears about the consequences of the British vote to quit the European union and economic worries.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
