The quarterly report summarizes economic indicators for Spain and other regions in Q3 2015. Spain's GDP growth is predicted to slow to 0.8% in Q3 due to deteriorating global growth prospects and risks to the domestic political scene. Private consumption and investment are driving Spain's growth, contributing to a predicted annual GDP growth of 3.2% in 2015. Exports increased by 4.5% while imports rose by 5.5% in the first seven months of 2015.
In 2009 the number of outbound tourists from Argentina was 4.9 million. However, the majority of them travelled to neighbouring countries, mostly Brazil and Chile. This fact is reflected by the statistics showing the most common choice for transportation: in 2009 38% of outbound tourists chose air travel and 46% opted for travelling on land.

Israel has a highly developed technology sector and export-oriented economy. Key factors in its success include rapid development of technology and hi-tech industries, entrepreneurial culture and start-up nation status, and high-skilled human resources. Since the 1980s, Israel has transformed from high inflation and debt to low inflation, lower debt, and strong GDP growth driven by exports, particularly in technology industries.
Quarterly report on the global and Spanish economy Q2-2017 Circulo de Empres...Círculo de Empresarios
1) The quarterly report from Círculo de Empresarios analyzes the global and Spanish economy in Q2 2017. Global growth is accelerating but political uncertainty and high debt levels pose risks.
2) Asia's economic importance is rising as its share of global GDP grows to an expected 40% by 2030, while Europe's share declines. China's economy is shifting from manufacturing to services.
3) The EU recovery is extending to other European countries in 2017, but Brexit negotiations, elections in Germany and Italy, and Italy's financial system pose uncertainties.
1) Israel has a strong and growing economy with GDP per capita of $32,200 in 2012 and low unemployment and inflation rates.
2) Israel has a vibrant innovation ecosystem, ranking highly in R&D spending, venture capital investment, scientific research, and entrepreneurship. The country is a global leader in fields like cybersecurity and cleantech.
3) Major multinational corporations have established a strong presence in Israel for R&D, with some opening multiple facilities and acquiring Israeli startups for over $1 billion. The government supports the high-tech sector through incentives.
The document is an OECD economic survey of Brazil that discusses several economic and social issues facing the country.

Fidelity - Perspectivas para los mercados en 2014 por Dominic RossiFinect
This document provides an overview and analysis of global economic and market conditions from the perspective of January 2014. It discusses signs of improving global economic growth and manufacturing activity. While the US economy is showing growth around 3%, consumption remains subdued. Profit margins are at historic highs globally. The Eurozone is showing signs of recovery but deflationary risks remain. Emerging markets face the challenge of transitioning to domestic demand-led growth models from their past export and investment models. Overall, the document presents an assessment of improving yet uneven global economic growth and the investment outlook.
The SA freight industry during the Super Cycle downturnTristan Wiggill
Economist Mike Schussler delivered a presentation on the South African economy in a new world Super Cycle during the annual Road Freight Convention in Limpopo, South Africa.
The document is from the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report from January 2013. It summarizes recent trends in the global economy including declining default risk in the Euro area, rebounds in capital flows to developing countries, but continued weakness in industrial production and business confidence. It also discusses downgraded growth projections for 2012-2013, risks from external shocks, the benefits of fiscal space, and the long term gains from improvements in growth.
Israel has transitioned to a highly developed, technology-focused economy. It has rapidly developed technology and hi-tech industries, relying on a skilled workforce and entrepreneurial culture. Exports, especially of high-tech goods and services, have driven strong economic growth. Israel spends more on research and development as a percentage of GDP than any other OECD nation. Despite its small size, Israel consistently ranks highly on global competitiveness and innovation indices.
Israel has a growing economy with a GDP of $273 billion in 2013. Exports, especially of high-tech goods and services, have been a major driver of economic growth. Exports grew from $3 billion in 1980 to over $95 billion in 2013, with high-tech industries like software and pharmaceuticals comprising nearly half of industrial exports. Israel also invests heavily in research and development, ranking first in the OECD for R&D spending as a percentage of GDP. The economy has generally outperformed other advanced economies in recent years and has low debt and inflation rates, contributing to strong credit ratings.
Thirty years ago, Japan was growing so quickly that some predicted it would overtake the United States, while China’s economy was small and closed. Much has changed. China has overtaken Japan as the world’s second largest economy, but as China shifts to a “new normal” of lower growth, observers are increasingly concerned that it may no longer serve as the world’s economic engine. Meanwhile, proactive Japanese economic policy has renewed interest in Japan’s prospects. In this presentation delivered at a recent Asia Financial Forum in Seattle, Cindy Li and Sean Creehan explain how China and Japan impact the global economy.
This document discusses China's economy and stock market after recent declines. It provides an overview of analysts predicting China's collapse in the past without cause. It then examines specific economic indicators in China like consumption, real estate, exports and credit growth to show that reports of an economic crash are overblown. The document argues China's transition to a consumer-led economy and slower but still significant growth is underway despite short-term volatility in the stock market. It also critiques some mistakes made by China's leadership in areas like overestimating state-owned enterprises and misunderstanding shadow banking.
The document provides an economic consensus forecast for Iran that was updated in April 2015. It summarizes that the panelists expect GDP growth to slow to 2.0% in 2015 due to uncertainty around the lifting of economic sanctions and low oil prices. Inflation is forecast to remain high at 16.7% in 2015, though it is expected to decline in 2016. The outlook has deteriorated slightly since last month due to these factors weighing on Iran's economy.
Since 2000, the quality of life of Colombians has improved markedly. Macroeconomic and social policies have sustained strong GDP growth and reduced poverty.
Session by Rolf Alter, OECD Director for Public Governance and Territorial Development.
This session will cover the challenges critical risks pose for OECD as well as non-OECD countries, the implications of increasing economic losses from disasters and how these pose particular challenges for regional growth recovery. How well governments manage disasters is a key test for the trust of citizens in government. Drawing on successful country practices to manage risks and invest in a sustainable future, the session will explain the work of the OECD High Level Risk Forum to foster exchanges among countries with the aim to improve their resilience.
Short-term momentum: will it be sustained? OECD Economic Outlook presentation...OECD, Economics Department
The OECD interim economic report provides the following key points:
1) The short-term global economic momentum has become more broad-based across major economies due to improvements in the euro area and synchronised growth across countries.
2) However, strong and sustained medium-term growth is not assured as private investment remains weak and inflation and wage growth are still subdued.
3) Policymakers must pursue fiscal and structural reforms to rebalance support for inclusive growth through better tax and spending policies while managing financial risks.

Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index April 2013Ipsos UK
Ipsos’ monthly 24-country survey finds just 13% of Britons saying their economy is in “good” shape, little changed from the 12% recorded last month and indeed unchanged on a year ago (also 12%).
The quarterly report provides the following key points:
1) Global economic growth is projected to slow to 3.2% in 2016 due to challenges in China, commodity exporting nations, and political issues in Europe.
2) The US economy saw moderate growth of 1.4% in Q4 2015 driven by private consumption and investment, while recession risks rose to 25%.
3) Eurozone recovery was supported by domestic demand but inflation remained low and unemployment high in some countries like Italy and Spain.
The document discusses the Sustainable Development Goals and the role of the private sector. It provides context on global economic trends and challenges facing development. It outlines Colombia's progress toward the Millennium Development Goals and integration of the SDGs. The private sector can help by engaging in areas like data, finance, and implementation to achieve sustainable development goals.
The document provides an agenda for a business update meeting at STANLIB in January 2020. It includes:
1) Presentations on STANLIB's investment performance, delivering compelling investments and quarterly rankings.
2) A business update from Mark Lovett on South Africa being trapped in a low growth cycle hurt by inept politics.
3) A presentation from Kevin Lings on global and South African market updates, trends, constraints and some positives in South Africa.
- The document summarizes the evolving global economic outlook, with a focus on China's "new normal" of slower but more sustainable growth and its relevance for Mongolia.
- It finds that China is transitioning from investment and export-led growth to a growth model driven more by consumption and services. This has significant implications for commodity exporters and trading partners like Mongolia.
- Mongolia has become heavily dependent on China for trade and investment, so China's economic rebalancing poses challenges and opportunities for Mongolia's economy.

Innovation in a down turn by Ulrick Noel for ScalingUp-LatAmRamon Scott
Global economic growth has been slowing over the past decade and is now below the 20-year average. Commodity prices have declined significantly since 2014, which indicates weakening global demand. Interest rates are at historical lows, suggesting perceptions of a slowing growth outlook. Total global debt loads have risen much faster than GDP over the past 20 years. Demographic trends show slowing population growth as birth rates decline and lifespans increase. These economic headwinds are creating rising risks but also opportunities for businesses that innovate to increase efficiency and create value with lower prices and new jobs.
1. The document reports on the global and Spanish economy in Q3 2017 according to a quarterly report from Círculo de Empresarios.
2. GDP growth is forecast to be steady in 2017 and 2018 for both advanced and emerging economies, though geopolitical risks remain from issues like North Korea, Brexit, and Catalonian independence.
3. Inflation remains low across advanced economies while the US labor market continues strengthening and the Federal Reserve begins reducing its balance sheet. The EU recovery also remains solid.
The quarterly report analyzes the global and Spanish economies in Q4 2015. Global growth forecasts were revised downward for 2015 and 2016 due to slowdowns in emerging markets. Commodity prices declined significantly, especially for oil, due to high inventories. China's economy continued transitioning from investment and exports to a more services-oriented and consumption-based model, though debt levels remained high. Brazil experienced a sharp economic downturn and rising inflation amid political uncertainty.

Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.
End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

Orchestrating the Future: Navigating Today's Data Workflow Challenges with Ai...Kaxil Naik
Navigating today's data landscape isn't just about managing workflows; it's about strategically propelling your business forward. Apache Airflow has stood out as the benchmark in this arena, driving data orchestration forward since its early days. As we dive into the complexities of our current data-rich environment, where the sheer volume of information and its timely, accurate processing are crucial for AI and ML applications, the role of Airflow has never been more critical.
In my journey as the Senior Engineering Director and a pivotal member of Apache Airflow's Project Management Committee (PMC), I've witnessed Airflow transform data handling, making agility and insight the norm in an ever-evolving digital space. At Astronomer, our collaboration with leading AI & ML teams worldwide has not only tested but also proven Airflow's mettle in delivering data reliably and efficiently—data that now powers not just insights but core business functions.
This session is a deep dive into the essence of Airflow's success. We'll trace its evolution from a budding project to the backbone of data orchestration it is today, constantly adapting to meet the next wave of data challenges, including those brought on by Generative AI. It's this forward-thinking adaptability that keeps Airflow at the forefront of innovation, ready for whatever comes next.
The ever-growing demands of AI and ML applications have ushered in an era where sophisticated data management isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Airflow's innate flexibility and scalability are what makes it indispensable in managing the intricate workflows of today, especially those involving Large Language Models (LLMs).
This talk isn't just a rundown of Airflow's features; it's about harnessing these capabilities to turn your data workflows into a strategic asset. Together, we'll explore how Airflow remains at the cutting edge of data orchestration, ensuring your organization is not just keeping pace but setting the pace in a data-driven future.

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
