Uncertainty reigns worldwide and is affecting economies and markets - whereto...Tristan Wiggill
A presentation delivered by Dawie Klopper, investment economist and portfolio manager of PSG Wealth at the annual Road Freight Association's Convention in Limpopo, South Africa.
Foreign direct investment involves a company from one country establishing business operations in another country, such as by buying a foreign company or investing in new facilities abroad. It provides benefits like job creation and skills transfer but also costs like possible loss of economic sovereignty. While developed countries were historically the main targets of foreign investment, developing countries are increasingly attracting investment as globalization has expanded markets worldwide.
The world economy is at a critical juncture with risks of a double-dip recession in major developed economies and moderating growth in emerging markets. There are downside risks from contagion of the sovereign debt crisis and fragility in the banking sector combined with high unemployment and potential policy paralysis. To address these challenges, the document recommends no premature fiscal austerity but more short-term stimulus coordinated internationally and focused on job creation and medium-term reforms. Bolder actions are also needed to deal with financial fragility and provide stable development financing aligned with reforms to the financial system.
The document summarizes the causes and transmission of the global financial crisis. It discusses the pre-crisis situation of debt-driven growth, global imbalances, and weak financial regulation. The immediate trigger was the bursting of the US housing bubble in 2006. This led to a collapse in mortgage-backed securities and stock markets. The crisis then spread through remittances, capital flows, and trade to developing countries. Vulnerability to external shocks determined the degree of impact on different countries.
Can investors bet on a broad emerging markets recoveryteam-abr
Following the 2008 financial crisis, emerging economies rebounded. But since 2011 things have changed.
Emerging economies are now richer than ever. And while these countries still have an opportunity to grow in the future, their growth rates are likely to be slower than in the past.
As advanced economies recover and their monetary policies return to more conventional policies, further weakness in emerging markets’ equities and bond markets is expected.
As the Chinese authorities inject a fresh $1trn in new credit in the first quarter of 2016, Economist Marcus Wright examines this latest development and what it means for China and the world economy.
The global economic crisis has had unprecedented and wide-ranging effects. While governments have tried stimulus measures, rising debt and uncertainty continue to hamper recovery efforts. One potential solution is for governments to print money and allocate it to reduce various stakeholder debt levels, up to 25% of the existing money supply, provided inflation and exchange rates can be managed. This approach would require international coordination and testing in the most affected country first before broader implementation. It could help make economic systems viable again by improving liquidity and removing gloom while maintaining functional financial systems.
The document summarizes the global economic crisis, providing details on what an economic crisis is, the history of past crises like the Great Depression, common causes of crises, and the overall effects on countries. Specific countries that were heavily impacted by the crisis are discussed, such as Argentina, Australia, Thailand, and conclusions call for reforms to the international financial system to prevent future crises.

“Financial Sector Strategies for Public Financial Managers”
The presenters will discuss strategies and tactics that can be utilized in responding to
current financial sector and debt market challenges.
The document discusses several financial crises including the 1980s debt crisis, the 1997-98 Asian crisis, and the current subprime crisis. It analyzes the causes and impacts of these crises from an international political economy perspective. The document also examines historical patterns of economic regimes emerging after financial crises and questions whether the current crisis may lead to a new economic regime.
The document summarizes several shocks that occurred on a single day in May 2012, including Greece potentially leaving the Eurozone, the eurozone nearing recession, troubles in the European commercial real estate market, losses for J.P. Morgan from speculative bets, an upcoming debt ceiling showdown in the U.S., and heightened currency market volatility. In response, the author's firm has positioned its portfolios to have little exposure to Greece, be underweight Europe and the euro, and underweight U.S. Treasuries. While continued challenges exist, the author believes diversification may benefit investors and that progress is being made in addressing issues plaguing the global banking sector and European economies.
The Global Portfolio Strategies Group's economic outlook notes that global equity markets peaked in early April before falling sharply in May, as they had anticipated. While not compelled to reduce equity exposures, they recommend maintaining a neutral stance given ongoing economic and political uncertainties. They continue to favor U.S. equities over international ones, seeing the U.S. economy in better shape despite political uncertainty. Emerging markets have faced challenges from slowing growth and currency declines, but aggressive policy actions and cheaper valuations may provide a boost going forward. Markets are expected to remain volatile in this environment of uncertainties over the European situation, U.S. economy, and upcoming elections.
The U.S. and global economies have become highly interconnected, so financial crises that begin in one country can quickly spread worldwide. As global trade and investment have increased, economies have grown interdependent, with companies and investors heavily exposed across borders. Additionally, many U.S. companies have expanded overseas operations, further globalizing business. While the U.S. economy experiences volatility, history shows markets are cyclical and the U.S. will likely recover to strengthen both its own and the global economy going forward.
1) Zambia faces several key structural issues that constrain its economic growth including overdependence on copper mining, low agricultural productivity, inadequate infrastructure, poor access to credit, and high unemployment.
2) To address these challenges, Zambia is pursuing policies to promote investment and diversification through special economic zones, incentives for foreign investment, and liberalizing financial markets.
3) However, Zambia still faces headwinds including falling copper prices, rising debt levels, and a challenging macroeconomic environment that threaten progress toward its goal of becoming a prosperous middle-income country by 2030.

The Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand in 1997 and spread to other Asian countries, sparking fears of a global economic meltdown. Thailand's currency collapsed under the weight of foreign debt, driving the country into bankruptcy. As the crisis spread, currencies and stock markets declined across Southeast Asia and Japan. The crisis stemmed from inappropriate borrowing by the private sector for speculative investments during a period of strong economic growth. When firms could not repay loans, creditors withdrew funds from the region, placing further pressure on currencies. The crisis exposed weaknesses like overvalued currencies, inadequate financial regulation, and heavy reliance on short-term external debts. Governments and the IMF implemented policies to stabilize currencies and financial systems while addressing rising unemployment and social impacts.
The Asian Financial Crisis began in Thailand in 1997 and spread to other Asian countries. Countries had high debt levels, currency pressures, and collapsed asset prices as foreign capital rapidly pulled out. Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and other Southeast Asian countries were most affected. The IMF intervened and provided bailout loans with conditions of austerity measures, which some argue exacerbated recessions. While some countries recovered, the crisis highlighted the risks of heavy reliance on foreign capital inflows and foreign debt.
The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis had spill over effects on the United States economy through trade, capital flows, and financial market interlinkages. It reduced U.S. exports to Asia but boosted some domestic sectors. Specific industries like high-tech, agriculture, and textiles saw declines in exports to Asia, while financial institutions and some businesses faced losses. However, overall the crisis led to lower interest rates and inflation in the U.S. which stimulated the domestic economy.
Growth in emerging markets is slowing. This is concerning. Senior Economist Marcus Wright considers two questions. What are the problems in emerging market economies? Why does that matter to us?
The document summarizes key findings from the 2011 Transition Report on the impact of the global financial crisis in transition economies. It finds that:
1) While most transition economies returned to growth in 2011, the recovery is fragile and unemployment remains high. The crisis negatively impacted many people's individual situations and lowered support for democracy and markets in some countries.
2) Households in transition economies were hit much harder by the crisis than those in Western Europe, often having to cut consumption of necessities like food. Formal social safety nets were less effective, and pre-crisis borrowing left some vulnerable.
3) The crisis reduced support for markets and democracy in new EU countries but increased it in CIS countries by turning
The document summarizes the global economic outlook and key issues. It finds that the world economy is growing reasonably well, led by the US, Russia, China, and India. However, risks remain from high oil prices, geopolitical instability, and trade protectionism. Rising oil prices have been inflationary. The US current account deficit is due to low savings. China is the world's second largest economy and may revalue its currency, shifting to domestic demand. Europe suffers from high unemployment and regulation while Japan is recovering due to exports to China.

Describe the situation with the greatest ethical complexity that you have facedTolulope Osho
The situation with the greatest ethical complexity the author faced was when a friend offered them a new job that doubled their salary in exchange for confidential information from their current project. This presented a dilemma as the new job was very appealing financially but would require breaking their non-disclosure agreement and compromising their ethics. After considering their principles and the potential for future unethical requests, the author declined the offer to remain true to their integrity. They are proud that sticking to their values later led to new opportunities.

Technology has both positive and negative impacts on social interaction. Positively, technology allows for more efficient communication and business, reconnecting with others, and sharing life events. However, overuse of technology can lead to addiction and procrastination issues. Additionally, privacy and security are concerns with increased online activity. Overall though, technology mainly facilitates communication and its downsides should lessen as people and technology progress.

C. describe a time when you took a great risk. what was the outcome.Ricardo Ocampo
I invested all my savings and convinced my parents to invest in Ecopetrol's IPO on the Colombian Stock Exchange in 2007 despite only having 5 months of work experience. This was risky as we had no stock market investing experience and commodity prices could fall. However, my research found Ecopetrol was undervalued and local IPOs typically saw high returns. After a year and a half, I sold the stocks for a 94% return, doubling my savings and allowing me to pay for an MBA program.

The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates in December 2015 for the first time in nearly a decade. This rate hike is expected to have significant impacts on emerging economies. Emerging economies had benefited from large capital inflows as investors sought higher yields, but now rates are rising in the US. The higher US rates will strengthen the dollar and make dollar-denominated debt more expensive to pay back, potentially causing volatility in emerging market currencies and stock markets. The Federal Reserve decided to raise rates as unemployment has fallen to 5% and inflation is near the Fed's 2% target, indicating the US economy has recovered sufficiently from the financial crisis.

Helping you to reduce stress and build a happier and more financially-secure ...EducatorsFG
The Canadian Finance Blog lists ‘financial worries’ as one of the top three leading causes of stress in Canadians. In our 45-minute Financial Wellness webinar, we’ll provide you with the information you need to help you feel more in control of your financial situation – helping you to reduce stress and build a happier and more financially-secure future.

The document discusses the current account deficit of the United States. It explains that the US deficit grew significantly starting in the 1980s due to decreased domestic savings and increased investment spending. This deficit was financed by capital inflows from other nations running surpluses. The large and persistent deficit encouraged risky lending practices and a housing bubble that burst in 2007, triggering a financial crisis. While deficits can benefit developing economies in the short term, the large and long-lasting US deficit accumulated problems and contributed to the crisis. The US deficit remains high today due to factors like trade imbalances.
Outlook 2015 - Making Sense Of The MarketsPhil Caulfield
As we approach year end, you may be wondering:
What can we expect to happen in the US Markets and the economy and how will that affect rates and house prices?
At Opes Advisors, our CEO Susan McHan has been working with our Chief Investment Officer, Mark Duvall, CFA® to help answer that question and we’ve just completed our “Outlook 2015: Making Sense of the Economy and the Current Markets.” I thought it would be beneficial to you to hear some of our current perspective.
________________________________________
Our Outlook for Interest Rates
As the graph below indicates, we have been experiencing a long term downtrend in interest rates since 1982. The rise in rates in 2013 followed by the drop in 2014 is consistent with a sideways trending market. We believe that short-term interest rates will rise slowly while longer-term interest rates will remain in a tight range below 3.2%. We expect the Fed to raise short-term rates in the first half of 2015 and longer-term rates to rise gradually.
Rates today are still low relative to long-term historical levels and within the average range of the past 3-4 years. This is important, as interest rates are a significant factor in determining home affordability. With interest rates remaining low, national and regional home affordability remains high.
Our Overall Outlook
Beyond interest rates, “Outlook 2015” captures our perspective on the following topics:
• What is our Economic Outlook for 2015 and beyond? What factors do we watch to inform our perspective?
• What factors informed our Interest rate Outlook and what factors determine whether they will rise or fall in the future?
• And importantly, how will the economy and interest rates impact our real estate markets, your business and your clients as we move into 2015 and beyond?

It has been seven years since the last financial crisis. In that seven-year period, the total global debt has increased by even more than it did in the seven years previous (2000-2007). From the end of 2007 through to the end of the first half of last year, total global debt increased by 40%, or $US 57 TRILLION! This massive increase in debt has been a consequence of easy money in a low interest rate environment aided and abetted by programs of quantitative easing (the provision of liquidity by central banks) in order to promote economic growth and investment.
The first quarter managed to record some positive results overall, despite severe declines in some sectors.
Brent Woyat, a portfolio manager at OceanForest Investment Partners, provides a quarterly commentary on the capital markets and his investment outlook. He notes that while the media focuses on negative economic indicators, several business leaders including Warren Buffett, Steve Ballmer, and Jeff Immelt expressed optimism about long-term economic growth at a recent conference. Woyat also cites a McKinsey survey finding that most executives expect rising profits and hiring. Based on these positive views, Woyat remains bullish on the global economy and recommends clients maintain their full target equity allocations. He further discusses the quarterly performance of the firm's portfolio mandates, highlighting several holdings with double-digit returns.

HOME LOANS SECURITISATION ANALYST PRESENTATIONKelvin Sipeyiye
This document discusses home loans and securitization in South Africa. It provides background on securitization, noting that it involves pooling cash-producing assets like mortgages and transforming them into securities. The first securitization transaction of home loans in South Africa occurred in 1989. Regulations governing securitization were amended in 2001, improving certainty for investors. This led to growth in the securitization market. Key purposes of securitization for banks include additional funding sources and managing regulatory capital requirements.

The document discusses personal financial success and provides steps to achieve it. It defines financial success as having enough cash flow to support one's lifestyle through work income and retirement investments. It identifies obstacles like debt and lack of financial education. The four steps are: 1) maximize cash flow by correcting tax withholding, 2) maximize deductions to minimize taxes, 3) eliminate debt to free up cash flow, and 4) invest freed up cash flow for long-term wealth building and retirement. Upcoming seminars are also noted.
This document summarizes a market perspective report from July 2016. It discusses how central banks have driven interest rates to record lows and even negative levels in some countries in an attempt to stimulate economic growth. However, global GDP growth remains sluggish despite enormous monetary stimulus efforts. As a result, government debt levels have increased substantially. The long-term implications of prolonged low and negative interest rates on economies and financial markets remains uncertain.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

• There was a great recession referred to as “Second Great Depression” on the
Global Level in 2007
• According the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research the US recession
began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, and thus spanned over 18
months hence the spilling its effects all over the globe.
• The fall of Lehman Brothers on 15 September 2008, a major panic broke out on
the inter-bank loan market.

rising unemployment and slumping commodity prices.

established investment and commercial banks in the United States and
Europe suffered huge losses and even faced bankruptcy, resulting in massive
public financial assistance.

• Huge Red Flags For The U.S. Economy
as we look toward the second half of
2014, there are economic red flags all
over the US. Industrial production is
down. Home sales are way down. Retail
stores are closing at the fastest pace
since the collapse of Lehman
Brothers. U.S. household debt is up
substantially

8. Problems in Finance Industry in Europe
• Though often described as global, the
financial crisis really hit Western Europe.
• Its effect on the financial firms in those
regions was greater than elsewhere, those
regions have recovered slowest from the
global recession, and their regulatory
response has been more dramatic too.
• Several of the most developed financial
sectors now find themselves on a hard path
– struggling to profit in the face of slow
economic and credit growth, customer
distrust, market saturation, and burdensome
regulation.
• In Europe, in wholesale banking, the
pressure of increased operating and capital
costs presage a shake-out of capacity which
is already reducing market liquidity and
restricting access to credit for non-rated
companies.
