(Bloomberg Opinion) — Adrian Orr, who until a few days ago led the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, once declared it the most transparent monetary authority in the world. That his sudden resignation midway through his term is shrouded in mystery is ironic — but not entirely out of keeping.  Orr was a central banker who jealously guarded his autonomy. He could’ve been more sensitive to optics or framed his answers with a touch more finesse. The nation paid a steep price for the aggressive interest-rate increases of the past few years, enduring a deeper-than-expected recession. Orr left few people in any doubt…

(Bloomberg) — After more than 13 years at the helm BNP Paribas SA, Jean-Laurent Bonnafe isn’t quite done yet. With less than two years before the chief executive officer reaches retirement age, BNP Paribas is asking shareholders to raise the age limit for his role and give him a new three-year board term. Approval at the shareholder meeting in May would open the door for the 63 year-old to stay on until 2028, and perhaps longer. Already one of Europe’s longest-serving bank CEOs, Bonnafe built up the trading business and propelled the asset management unit into the top ranks with…

(Bloomberg) — A shareholder in Japan’s Seven & i Holdings Co. is pressuring the company to engage “more deeply” with Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. over its $47.5 billion buyout approach. “The Board has taken several decisions that leave significant unanswered questions,” Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc.’s portfolio managers N. David Samra and Benjamin L. Herrick said in a letter to Seven & i’s board on Sunday. The money manager owns stakes of roughly 1% in both the company and Couche-Tard, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “Those questions revolve around potential conflicts of interest and failure to pursue the path that…

(Bloomberg) — Four years after his resignation from Barclays Plc, Jes Staley will finally give his account of the events that ended his career — in the hopes of overturning a lifetime ban from the finance industry.  Staley has sat quietly in a windowless London court room for the past week, occasionally sipping from a can of Diet Coke as his closest former colleagues described how his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein led to his fall from the summit of global banking. On Tuesday, the 68-year-old former chief executive officer is scheduled to take the stand as part of the legal…

BERLIN (AP) — Flight cancellations at Hamburg Airport after a surprise strike by workers affected more than 40,000 passengers on Sunday, a day before a planned wider protest across Germany amid new contract negotiations. Only 10 of more than 280 scheduled flights went as planned early Sunday, the airport said. Many service desks sat empty as would-be passengers lined up to seek information about the cancellations. One big electronic departure board overhead had “canceled” in red next to the list of all flights. The surprise walkout, which reportedly took place with only about a half-hour advance notice, came before a…

“We have a very strong pipeline of hotels. New constructions are important because they help us build the reputation of the brand, and there is a focus on quality over quantity, and we will be moving away from being known primarily as a “conversion” hotel brand here,” Cuculic said. The company, which has 32 hotels in India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka combined, operates in partnership with Delhi-based Sorrel Hospitality Pvt. Ltd, which it signed on in 2016 when the company had about seven hotels here.  Read more: Lemon Tree Hotels stock trades at a discount, but is the juice worth…
