Sometime this month, 337 million shares will be up for grabs when the world’s biggest social network floats on the stock market. But be warned: it may be hard to get a hold of them.
A CONTROVERSIAL GOVERNMENT VAT increase for the hospitality sector has resulted in a price increase to many items and services; among them, a cup of coffee.
The VAT increase from 9% to 13.5% came into effect on January 1st, and many restaurants and cafés say it forced them to increase their prices in the new year.
