August 17, 2014 [Bilingual]Cuba: Where toilet paper can be rarer than partridge
Years after the collapse of the USSR, Cuba remains a bastion of communism, central planning... and shortages of basic goods. Anyone returning from a trip abroad, therefore, takes as many of these as they can carry - even if they are flying from Moscow.

Sarah Rainsford lived for a while in Russia before glasnost and remembers the days of long lines, endless shortages, and central planning during its Communist era. Who would have guessed that she'd wind up working in Havana - and now looks on a trip to Moscow as a chance to stock up on the household essentials? For while Cuba still has few retail outlets which aren't run by the State, and goods are still hard to find, Russia's shaken off most of its Soviet-era controls - and some people now see shopping as a way to have fun.

今年本港及環球市場發生多宗重要事件，美國聯儲局宣布下月起啟動退市，反映美國經濟表現強勁，美股反應正面，不過，港股就憂慮資金流走，恒指一度失守23000點。內地方面，總理李克強重申要深化市場改革，包括推行利率市場化，但6月起多次出現「錢荒」，拆息大幅扯高，令市場關注中國經濟發展可能遇到的挑戰；今年內地成立上海自由貿易區，令人擔心對香港國際金融中心的地位構成競爭。至於本港，政府年初為樓市「加辣」，樓市成交量急跌，但樓價未見顯著回落，樓市表現更是市民關注的焦點。
