global demand for personal computers and electronics fell sharply.

Lenovo of China said its total revenue had tumbled by 24 per cent to $15.3 billion in the three months to December compared with the same period in 2021. Net income attributable to equity holders plunged 32% to $437 million.

The company specialises in consumer electronics, personal computers and software. The pandemic boosted sales significantly for Lenovo and its peers as many people worked remotely and decided to replace or upgrade their equipment. However, sales of new computers then collapsed.

Yang Yuanqing, 58, Lenovo’s chief executive, said the entire PC and mobile market had experienced a «severe downturn» in the last quarter and planned to improve its efficiency.

    Of course this was bound to happen considering the huge boom the industry had just a few years ago. 24% is bad but if we look at how much Lenovo has grown in the last 3 years, then it doesn't seem this bad.

      I don't like Lenovo. They make cheap laptops that some people buy because of their price, but when it comes to quality, Lenovo doesn't even come close to companies like Asus or Apple.

  UK commercial property values and rents are projected to «tumble off a cliff edge» in the first quarter of 2023, as estate agents warn offices will fare worst as prices fall. A survey of more than 400 commercial agents forecast a 2.9 per cent decrease in prices per square foot across the industry in the first three months of the year, with offices falling 3.1 per cent. «Where we saw the market stop still, we will see the market finding its level, people working out where things are, where value is,» he said.

BoE is considering to increase deposit guarantee.

  According to anonymous sources, the Bank of England is considering reforming its deposit guarantee scheme. The move comes in response to concerns that the current system may not be sufficient to protect customers in case of a bank failure. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme guarantees deposits up to £85,000 per person per institution. However, some experts have raised concerns that this may not be enough to prevent a run on banks in a significant financial crisis. As a result, the Bank of England is reportedly considering several options for reforming the scheme, including increasing protection and introducing more stringent bank regulations. A final decision on any changes will be made later this year. One option the Bank of England considers is increasing the protection offered by the deposit guarantee scheme. This could involve raising the maximum amount guaranteed per person or extending coverage to more types of deposits. Another possibility is to introduce more stri...
