Lyft IPO sets rollout for ride-hailing, sharing economy
WASHINGTON — Lyft is raising some $2.5 billion in its Wall Street offering, which is seen as turning point for the ride-hailing business and the so-called "sharing economy." The San Francisco-based firm expected to begin trading as soon as Friday at $72 a share, Lyft said in a released statement. "This is a clear, positive indicator of robust investor demand heading into the company's first day of trading tomorrow," Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said in a note to investors.

Lyft will have a valuation of at least $20...

WTO says US failed to halt state tax subsidy for Boeing
GENEVA/PARIS — The World Trade Organization said on Thursday the United States had ignored a request to halt subsidized tax breaks to Boeing in its main planemaking state of Washington as a 15-year-old transAtlantic trade row edges towards tit-for-tat sanctions. The European Union said the WTO appeal ruling had vindicated its claims that Boeing continued to receive illegal subsidies, but the United States said only one measure, a Washington state tax break worth around $100 million annually, had been found to violate the rules. The United States and EU have been battling since 2004 over mutual claims of illegal aid to plane giants Boeing and Airbus, with parallel cases generating thousands of pages of findings and years of litigation that put a burden on the already congested...

Deal for new Sri Lanka oil refinery will take at least a year to finalize — investor
NEW DELHI/COLOMBO — An agreement to build a proposed $3.85 billion oil refinery in Sri Lanka will take at least a year to be finalized as its main investor, India's Accord Group, says it is yet to recruit partners and conduct an assessment of the plan's viability. The comments add to confusion about the project, which was announced last week by the Sri Lankan government as the nation's largest single foreign direct investment ever, but has since been the subject of conflicting statements by various parties. Accord's Chairman S. Jagatrakshakan, a former Indian government minister, said he has submitted a preliminary proposal to the Sri Lankan government to invest in the project but has not finalized any terms of the deal. "The project assessment and financial...

Boeing adopts 'business as usual' posture at 737 media tour
RENTON, United States — After two fatal crashes in five months, Boeing is trying hard — very hard — to present itself as unfazed by the crisis that surrounds the company. The company's sprawling factory in Renton, Washington is a hive of activity on this sunny Wednesday during a tightly-managed media tour as Boeing tries to communicate confidence that it has nothing to hide. Several employees working on the embattled 737 MAX plane don yellow vests and work in teams, with one group of staff gathered at a large table, poring over plane designs. The new planes are painted green by Boeing before they are delivered to commercial airlines, which then give them a makeover with their corporate brands. On this day, three new aircraft are ready to leave the factory. After a once over...

Denmark asks Nord Stream 2 to assess third route option for gas pipeline
COPENHAGEN — The Danish Energy Agency has requested an environmental assessment of a third route option for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in Danish waters, a move that could delay the project to pump Russian gas to Europe. The 1,225 km (765 miles) pipeline, now under construction, has come under fire from the United States and several eastern European, Nordic and Baltic Sea countries, which fear it will increase the European Union's reliance on Russian gas. The project has two pending permit applications with Danish authorities but the energy agency has asked that a third route secure an environmental assessment. The route would run in Denmark's exclusive economic zone south of Bornholm island. "It is an area that has become available after a demarcation negotiation with...
