Small Business 
This document discusses small businesses and their role in economic growth. It defines small businesses as having fewer employees, less annual revenue, and fewer than 15-50 employees. Small businesses provide flexibility but can face challenges due to their size. They can contribute to sustainable economic growth through value chain development and local economic development. Economic growth is defined as the increased capacity to produce goods and services over time. Small businesses are increasingly important for achieving economic growth by developing international business and reducing unemployment. They also help create entrepreneurial economies. However, small businesses faced significant difficulties during the 2008-2011 financial crisis due to weak finances, lack of diversification, high dependency on external financing, and tightened credit conditions. Developing countries' small businesses struggled more

aijaz ahmed cima case study
Cash flow refers to the total money flowing into and out of a business and is important for meeting short-term expenses and maintaining business relationships. Cash flow forecasts can help businesses plan activities and make effective long-term decisions by providing appropriate information. Cash is considered more important than revenue or profits because a business needs cash to pay bills even if it is profitable, and can fail if cash is unavailable. For General Motors, effective cash management is important for inventory control, paying suppliers, and maintaining production during a recession when sales may decline due to economic factors hurting consumers.
Do Firms Slash Wages During Recessions (1)
This document examines the connection between average real wages and unemployment during the Great Recession and recovery. It hypothesizes that the normal correlation between wages and unemployment weakens during recessions and recoveries as firms struggle to recoup losses from keeping wages intact after deep downturns. The authors analyze wage and unemployment data quarterly to test if pent-up wage deflation, rather than high unemployment, better explains stagnant wage growth in the recovery period. The conclusion is that the standard model does not fully account for firm behavior, and wage stagnation likely reflects firms' need to regain losses rather than underutilization of labor.
Behavioural Finance
1) Behavioural finance argues that financial markets are inefficient because rationality is limited and people rely on heuristics and are influenced by others.
2) Random walk hypothesis states that past asset price movements cannot predict future prices, but some argue smart investors can still predict trends.
3) Irrational exuberance refers to periods of speculative bubbles driven by psychological factors rather than fundamentals, as seen in the 1990s tech stock boom.
SME development, constraints, credit risk & islamic banking solutions
This analytic paper examines the status of small and medium sized enterprises (SME) worldwide, provides theoretical information and explores issues regarding their development, constraints and credit risk. SME have been heralded worldwide as being the economic “engine” of economic development. Certainly, from an Islamic finance perspective, the development of SME represents a propitious opportunity, a vital step towards an epistemological response to criticism of Islamic finance and should play an indispensible role in forging a more robust Islamic capital market. Yet, SME face persistent identifiable obstacles to growth and development. This paper focuses on SME development, particularly as it relates to the so-called “credit gap” and the concomitant credit risk. The SME “credit gap” is pervasive worldwide; particularly so in emerging economies. Accordingly, this paper analyzes: the determinants and drivers of SME development; constraints on SME development; the SME “credit gap” and concomitant credit risk; and the role Islamic banking can play in meeting the challenge of SME development.

Paychex | IHS Small Business Jobs Index December 2015
December 2015 marks the 51st consecutive month job gains have exceeded the pace of our base year over a decade ago. Nevertheless, 2015 was the softest year for small business employment growth since 2011.
Paychex | IHS Small Business Jobs Index January 2016
At 100.65, the Paychex | IHS Small Business Jobs Index rebounded 0.28 percent from the previous month to begin 2016. The January index indicates an increase in the rate of small business hiring, matching the highest level since May of 2015, and offsetting the growth rate declines of 2015
Paychex | IHS Small Business Jobs Index January 2017

Mortgage Delinquencies by State
The states with the highest mortgage delinquency rates in the fourth quarter of 2010 were Mississippi, Nevada, and Georgia. Florida had the highest foreclosure inventory rate, followed by Nevada and New Jersey. Nevada, Arizona and Florida had the highest foreclosure starts rates. The document provides data on foreclosure inventory, serious delinquency rates, foreclosure starts, and new delinquencies by state from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2010 and year-over-year changes.
Mortgage Delinquencies
The document summarizes mortgage delinquency and foreclosure statistics from the 4th quarter of 2010. Key points include:
- Mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates decreased from the prior quarter and year.
- Serious delinquency (90+ days past due or in foreclosure) fell to 8.57% nationally.
- Foreclosure starts and inventory declined across the US from the prior year's high levels.
Inflation Watch: February 17, 2011
Inflation is important for real estate agents because changes in prices can impact interest rate policy set by the Federal Reserve. While fears of deflation emerged during the financial crisis, inflation has now become a concern, with some worried that high unemployment and inflation could result in stagflation, making it difficult for the Fed to address inflation without further hurting the job market. Producer prices are showing signs of inflation and commodity prices remain high, though consumer prices are more subdued, putting upward pressure on prices from a weak dollar and increasing costs of imported goods.
Recovery to Normalcy: Feb 2011
This document summarizes Lawrence Yun's presentation on the recovery of the housing market and job market to normal levels. It finds that while consumer confidence about current conditions is low, confidence about the future is improving. It also notes that jobs growth has added over 1 million jobs in the past year but it could take until 2015 to return to normal 6% unemployment levels. The housing market fundamentals have returned to justifiable levels with home prices stabilizing and sales improving in line with job growth, but mortgage underwriting remains too strict. The outlook predicts moderate GDP growth and over 2 million new jobs added annually over the next two years, with housing sales and values expected to improve gradually as the job market recovers.
Home Price Monitor
Home prices were relatively stable in November and December according to most data sources, with slight declines reported for both the month and year by many measures. However, some measures showed slight price increases and new home prices rose robustly. Rising home sales and shrinking inventories are expected to contribute to ongoing price stability, especially for new homes which have inventories near record lows. Strong job growth and increases in job openings and hires bode well for continued growth in home sales and prices in the coming months.
How Risky is the FHA’s Low Down Payment Program?
The document summarizes concerns about the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) low down payment mortgage program and its effects. It notes that FHA's capital reserves have fallen dangerously low due to increased defaults. While FHA borrowers' credit has improved since 2007, the agency now insures a much larger share of loans with low down payments, which some argue increases risk. However, data shows that high loan-to-value FHA loans have lower foreclosure rates than other products, and stricter underwriting has boosted credit profiles. Removing FHA's low down payment options could significantly hurt the housing market but also reduce risks to taxpayers.
Metro Area Monthly Mortgage Payments: 2005 vs 2010
The document compares median home prices and estimated monthly mortgage payments in 2010 and 2005 for various metro areas in the United States. It shows that for most metro areas, median home prices and monthly payments decreased between 2005 and 2010, with percentage decreases typically ranging from 5-50%. A few metro areas such as Honolulu saw smaller decreases or even increases over this period.
Metro Area Unemployment
Detroit saw the largest year-over-year decline in unemployment rate from November 2009 to November 2010, though this was partially due to a reduction in the labor force. Las Vegas saw the largest increase in unemployment rate, and Denver, Miami, and New Orleans all experienced increases over 1%. Unemployment rates varied across major metro areas from 4-16% in November 2010.
State by State Employment Trends
The document contains charts from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing total nonagricultural employment numbers for various states from 2006 to 2010. The charts provide monthly seasonally adjusted employment figures in thousands of workers for states including Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington D.C., Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, and Idaho.
Economic Indicators for the Week of January 18th
This document provides a weekly economic forecast and updates from January 18-21, 2011. It forecasts modest GDP growth of 2.5-2.8% in 2010-2011 and 1.9 million new jobs added in 2011. Mortgage rates are expected to be around 5.3% by mid-2011 while unemployment is forecasted to be 9.2%. Economic updates throughout the week report on housing starts, existing home sales, jobless claims and mortgage rates.
Summary of December 2010 Existing-Home Sales
The document summarizes existing home sales statistics for December 2010. It shows that total existing home sales decreased 3.3% from December 2009 but median home prices rose 1.2% year-over-year. Charts depict trends in annualized sales, median prices, and price changes from 2006-2010. Sales were strongest in the South and West and weakest in the Northeast and Midwest. Most homes sold were priced between $100,000-$250,000, though sales of higher-priced homes rose while lower-priced homes fell.

While deflation fears have lessened, some worry high inflation in coming years could result in stagflation, with high unemployment and inflation making it hard for central banks to address inflation without further hurting jobs. Commodity and metal prices are rising along with oil, adding inflationary pressure, though the dollar is showing recent strength against these pressures.

The graph shows declines in both the home price index and consumer confidence index since mid-2007, demonstrating their link to employment growth and consumer sentiment.
