ADB slashes emerging Asia forecast on weakness in China, India and US stimulus jitters
– canadianbusiness.com
HONG KONG – The Asian Development Bank cut its economic growth forecast for developing Asia on Wednesday, citing weakness in region’s two largest economies China and India and jitters over plans to scale back U.S. stimulus that destabilized financial markets.
The Manila-based lender said it expects the region’s emerging economies to grow by 6 per cent this year, down from 6.6 per cent predicted in April.
The ADB also cut its 2014 growth forecast, to 6.2 per cent from 6.7 per cent.
“Developing Asia is challenged to sustain its growth momentum,” the bank said in an update to its Asian Development Outlook report, which covers 45 developing or newly industrialized countries in Asia and the Pacific but excludes Japan.
The ADB said growth in China is softening after authorities took action to rein in credit growth and the shadow banking industry, part of a wider effort to reorient the economy away from exports and investment and toward more sustainable domestic consumption…

CIBC updates the Aventura program – better redemption rates, limited time increased card sign up bonus and more!
– RewardsCanada.ca
As we all know there has been a lot of talk of the whole CIBC-Aeroplan-TD dealings around the Aeroplan credit card portfolio. And as we know CIBC’s Aeroplan portfolio will be split between them and TD but of course since CIBC cannot market to new Aeroplan cardholders they needed another strong product offering. In comes the CIBC Aventura program which has been around for a few years now but with little changes over those years (much like its Aerogold counterpart). In that period of time have come new competitors which provided a better offering than the Aventura program and CIBC obviously saw this and coupled with their loss of the primary Aeroplan portfolio they knew they had to revamp the Aventura program. There had been news that CIBC was planning on developing a new program and earmarking $50MM towards it which we assume is for the revamped Aventura program. (I sure hope these changes to Aventura didn’t cost that much because if they did the consultants on this job got really rich for almost nothing, but I assume much of that $50MM will go towards marketing the product)Well hallelujah, today they announced the new program that will take effect on January 1st of 2014…7 Ways To Save On Video Games, PLUS WIN a PS4

Gaming can be an expensive hobby. If you want to grab a brand new PlayStation 4 (PS4) at launch November 15th, it’s going to cost you – to the tune of $399. Although Sony’s PS4 is $100 cheaper than rival Microsoft’s Xbox One, don’t forget you’ll still need to budget for exciting launch games like Final Fantasy and Watch Dogs. Throw in must-have accessories like the PS4 Camera and an extra DualShock 4 controller and you could end up spending upwards of $600 – ouch! Although gaming can be pricey, it doesn’t have to be. Here are our best frugal tips to save on video games.
