CASE STUDY 1: Lloyds Banking Group Monetary Policy Committee
You are a voting member of Lloyds Banking Group Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and are expected to make a policy decision at the next MPC meeting in January 2021. The current Repo rate is 4.25% and the allowable inflation target ranges between 3% to 5%. The Research department has presented the following global and domestic market update for your consideration.
Key extracts of the presentation are summarized below:
Extract 1: Global update
According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook (WEO) for October 2020, the global economy is expected to recover substantially in 2021 following the negative effects of COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19 outbreak has lessened significantly since the first cases were made public at the beginning of the year 2020. To curb the spread of the pandemic, governments worldwide imposed severe restrictions and lockdown measures, subsequently bringing economic activities to a virtual standstill in the process. According to the latest WEO, the global economy is now projected to recover and grow by 3.8 percent in 2021, which is an upward revision from a 2.3 percent growth published in the WEO update for January 2021. The upward revision is on the back of successful easing of lockdown restrictions and resumption of economic activities in both advanced and emerging market economies. The global output is then projected to expand by 5.8 percent in 2021.
Extract 2: Emerging market update
Emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) improved moderately in the second half of 2020 and are expected to recover strongly in 2021. Overall, EMDEs are projected to grow by 2.0 percent in 2020, before recovering to a strong growth of 6.6 percent in 2021. Going forward EMDEs are expected to experience a sharp recovery in 2021 once the adverse effects from this economic shock subside.
Extract 3: Domestic market update
1.   Domestic growth remained positive during the last quarter of 2020, supported by construction, wholesale and retail trade, as well as the communication sectors. In contrast, activities such as livestock farming and uranium mining performed weakly.
2.   Going forward, the domestic economy is forecasted to improve in the remainder of 2021, also supported by construction activities, as well as strong growth in demand. Declining international commodity prices remain a concern, as it may negatively affect mineral production.
3.   Inflation has shown an upward trend for the past five months. Annual inflation rose from 4.9 percent in June 2020 to 6.1 percent in January 2021, mainly due to increases in food and transport prices. As a result, this recent trend of inflation is expected to average around 7 percent for the year.
4.   The annual growth rate in domestic private sector credit increased steadily to 17.8 percent in December 2020, compared to 14.3 percent in December 2019. Growth in private sector credit resulted from higher demand by both individuals and businesses. The rise in household debt largely reflected strong growth in unproductive instalment credit and overdraft loans which remains a concern for the MPC.
5.   During the last quarter of 2020, the trade deficit increased significantly. A rapid growth in imports of vehicles, partly financed by instalment credit, remains a concern. The total number of vehicles sold during the last four months of 2020 increased by more than 50 percent, compared to the same period in 2019. The value of imported vehicles amounted to N$2.2 billion, which is a significant amount in relation to the total import bill of goods of N$15.9 billion. Unproductive imports have put pressure on international reserves of the country and require monitoring.

Extract 4: Key domestic sector updates
Construction Sector update:
The contraction in the construction sector is expected to deepen during 2020 as projects anticipated to kickstart earlier are likely to be delayed. The construction sector is expected to contract by 16.3 percent and 1.5 percent in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The deeper contraction for 2020 is based on expectations that some of major projects, which were expected to commence in 2020 are likely to be delayed, mainly due to COVID-19 induced travel restrictions. This assertion is supported by the recent directive by the Minister of Finance to SOEs and Government Ministry to suspend capital projects until further notice.
Uranium Sector update
Uranium mining is similarly projected to contract during 2020, followed by a mild recovery in 2021. The uranium mining sector is expected to contract by 22.4 percent in 2020, before expanding by 4.6 percent in 2021. The sector is first and foremost grappling existing factors that include insufficient supply of water required for their operations and persistently low uranium prices, viewed together with the reduction in long-term supply contracts. This means that uranium mines are more exposed to spot prices, which squeezes their margins. There is, however, an indication that COVID-19 and resulting travel restriction have not prevented the mines from exporting their output thus far and it may not constitute a major factor in the foreseeable future. The volumes produced during the first three months of 2020, were 26.4 percent lower than the production for the corresponding three months of 2019, making any prospects to catch up with 2019 production levels unlikely.

0n 4/21/2020, Netflix reported 16 million new subscribers during the first quarter of 2020. Streaming services are a bright spot during this economic shutdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but the company faces negative factors as well. Increased operating costs may explain the results, discussed late in the article, that profit of $709.1, or $1.57 a share, was achieved while “the company was expected to earn $1.64 a share.” Nonetheless, shares rose in after-hours following Netflix’s release of its video to discuss financial results in the first quarter of 2020.

So, how does the breakdown of Netflix's new subscribers by geographic area help to assess the company’s operating results? Do you think that assessing financial information in addition to subscriber numbers by geographic area would help to further understand Netflix's performance during this period? Explain your reasoning. Is there a specific requirement to provide information about the geographic areas discussed by Netflix and reported in this article? Explain your answer and provide supporting citations to professional literature.

SCENARIO:

Eva Melon, the CEO and majority shareholder of OuterSpace Corp. (OSC) (incorporated in Delaware) founded the company to develop the technology needed to make commercial space flights available to the average citizen. She believed that space could be made available for colonization and that the energy and resources needed to sustain life in outer space could be harvested from other planets, such as Mars. Eva spent most of her substantial fortune investing in renewable energy and philanthropic endeavors aimed at making life more comfortable through technological breakthroughs. Because Eva’s mother was from the United States and Eva’s father was from France, she held citizenship in both countries. She frequently traveled back and forth operating OSC from her homes in both countries.

Eva’s most recent project for OSC involved the design and construction of a space vehicle. While Eva had initially planned on manufacturing the vehicle in the United States, she projected that she could save approximately $10 million dollars by manufacturing the vehicle in China. However, she wanted to launch the vehicle from a spaceport either in Russia or the United States. Several test flights were slated on the project’s schedule for the years 2020 and 2021 which included a standard flight into low earth orbit, a docking with the international space station, and finally, a trip to Mars for natural resource sample collection. If successful in all the test flights, OSC planned on launching short commercial trips to space for individuals in 2023 and “colonization” flights to Mars some time thereafter.

To help secure funding for the research and development of the project, OSC also developed and produced solar panels for sale to the public, which were very similar to the ones that they would be using on their space vehicles for energy while in space. The panels were highly successful not only because of their technological brilliance, but also thanks to the public’s fascination with Eva, who was portrayed in the media as the “architect of the future.” OSC’s solar panels dominated the solar panel market, effectively shutting down other solar panel companies both domestically and abroad. Upset by the shift in the market, a competing foreign company, SolarX, filed a suit against OSC in federal court for violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

Undeterred, OSC entered into agreement with a Chinese company to begin the manufacture of the space vehicle. However, upon learning of the agreement, the United States government immediately notified OSC that they were in violation of the U.S. Department of State’s International Traffic in Arms Regulation laws and that OSC must cease all transfer of technology and data related to the manufacturing of the vehicle. Concurrently, the Chinese government, in learning of the agreement and realizing the benefit of the technology to its national government, seized control of the manufacturing facility. OSC immediately filed suit in the United States against the manufacturing facility and Chinese government. It also brought an injunction against the U.S. government to prevent the enforcement of any federal regulation prohibiting OSC from using the Chinese company to manufacture space vehicles.

Knowing how long the lawsuits would take and wanting to stay on schedule, OSC opened a manufacturing facility in France to continue the construction of the space vehicle through a wholly-owned subsidiary of OSC (rather than an outside company).

The publicity surrounding OSC’s struggle to get its vehicle built and operational was overwhelmingly in support of OSC. As a result, OSC hinted at solidifying its decision to launch the vehicle from the United States, at a spaceport which it would build in Texas, for use in all its testing operations.

ETHICS QUESTION:

1. In 5-10 sentences, answer the following question. Assume OSC grants an exclusive interview to a 24-hour news channel about the economic status of the company hours after the seizure of the manufacturing facility in China. Chen Li is the marketing director for OSC and is assigned to the interview. Li does not know if the news station yet knows about the seizure, but knows he will be asked about the financial state of the company. He confirms that the confiscation has actually cost the company millions, which will impact the company's finances significantly but has been told by Eva "not to spook investors because we will recover." When asked by the interviewer, "Where is the company financially today, and what can we expect in terms of company growth over the next year?" Li responds, "OSC's management is as strong as ever and we expect revenues to climb in the future." Li never mentions the losses incurred by the seizure. Is this an ethical answer and should Li have disclosed the company's losses? Is corporate marketing "spin" an ethical business practice?
