Today, the world of finance is becoming more complex than ever before. For instance, the rapid evolution of capital markets in recent years has shown an outstanding interest for moving to new areas of innovative finance. In contrast to the traditional ways of finance, banking system domination, as it was in the 1970s, is becoming critical especially for loans facilities. This paper discusses the securitisation issue in comparison with bank loans. The asset backed securitisation (ABS) constitutes a real challenge that banks have to face. This situation oblige banks either succeed in restructuring their activities and is adopting the new instruments emerging from the market, or stay away from the development and the sustainability in the market.

Major changes are taking place in all sectors of the livestock and meat producing industries from farm to consumer which impinge on tbe processes and patterns of livestock distribution from farm to slaughter. These changes are identified and described. A survey of the complete journeys from farm to abattoir of 18,393 slaughterweight lambs sold direct from farm to abattoir, via livestock auction markets and via electronic auctions was conducted. Lambs sold direct from farm to abattoir experienced shorter journeys (in terms of both median duration and distance) than lambs sold through either of the other two channels. Lambs sold through electronic auctions, on average, travelled longer distances but for shorter times than lambs sold through livestock auction markets. Although tbese results are broadly consistent with the common perception of direct sale lambs experiencing simpler journeys than lambs passing through the other channels, they do not support tbis view unequivocally. The journeys were diverse in all three distribution channels and ranged from direct and uninterrupted transfer from farm to abattoir (n=4,888) to highly complex itineraries including up to three periods of transportation interspersed with two holding periods at assembly points, staging posts or auction markets

Petroleum sector constitutes the mainstay of Nigerian economy. The risk potentials of this condition need not be overstressed. The recognition of positive impacts of tourism on economic development made Nigerian government to commit resources towards diversifying the economy through tourism development. The level of benefit so far derived from the sector does not justify the volume of investment because government plays domineering role in this sector management. Tourism development could rather be achieved if the “public administration ” style currently adopted is replaced with collaborative approach, herein referred to as “partial privatization”. This approach prescribes government-private sector management process. By this strategy, each party would better understand its roles and responsibilities in the management of the sector; significant degree of prudence and probity would be demonstrated; tourist’s needs would effectively be identified and satisfied; the sector would become attractive, viable and sustained.

Abstract: It is not possible to receive identical yields with utilisation of completely equal amount and quality of inputs. There are discrepancies between production amount and production values, amounts and values of inputs used and profit ratios of enterprises, even if the enterprises have identical technological constraints. This depends upon different productive capabilities and less favourable utilisation resources by some enterprises. Productive efficiency or economic efficiency is determined as production of maximum amount of outputs by utilising minimum amount of inputs under a given technological structure. Yet, the determinants of productive efficiency are related with the production process and allocation of resources. The aim of this paper is to review the recent literature devoted to technical efficiency analysis, which is related to the technical process, and its applications to agricultural production, which has a complex input structure compared to industrial production.
