- Global passenger traffic has rebounded and continues growing steadily at around 7% per year. Low-cost carriers continue to drive demand, especially in the US and Europe.
- While the cost gap between network carriers and low-cost carriers is closing as both focus on reducing costs, fuel costs have risen significantly and now represent around 23% of total airline costs compared to 14% in 2000.
- Strong cost-cutting efforts by airlines have helped boost profitability, but fuel prices remain a major challenge for the industry outlook.

Customer Value - Managing Acquisitions through Retention in Competitive MarketABIBA Systems
The 3rd Annual Telecoms in Africa conference focused on customer loyalty and retention in the African telecom industry. Key topics included the rapid growth in subscriber base from 133.55 million in 2005 to over 900 million estimated for 2014, decreasing average revenue per user, intense competition between operators, and a shift in business priorities from network acquisition to customer retention and profitability. Operators were discussing strategies around customer segmentation, lifecycle management, and maximizing lifetime customer value through acquisition, retention, cross-selling and upselling. Challenges mentioned included the predominance of prepaid subscribers making customer data and profiling more difficult, high customer acquisition costs, multi-SIM usage, and misaligned objectives with distribution partners.

This document discusses the outlook for the airline market and opportunities for the RJ 50 regional jet. It notes that regional jets now make up a significant portion of the US and European fleets and route networks. The RJ 50 is well suited for low-density routes where larger jets are not economical. The document identifies numerous underserved markets and secondary routes in the US, EU, China, and Russia that could support RJ 50 service. Overall it argues that regional jets like the RJ 50 remain an intrinsic part of the air transportation system.

This document discusses the middle class in Latin America. It shows that GDP growth was significantly impacted by the crisis in 2009. The middle sectors in Latin America make up a smaller proportion of the population compared to other regions and have high levels of informality. Intergenerational mobility is low in Latin America due to weak education systems. The middle class supports democracy but is satisfied with the current system. Tax revenue makes up a smaller portion of GDP in Latin America compared to OECD countries. The document recommends improving social protection programs and education to foster upward mobility and strengthen the social contract.

Telecom versus Online - Worlds in collisionireijjhhjhut
Telecom operators face slowing growth in voice, internet, and broadband revenues. New services like IPTV are not expected to significantly improve revenue growth. Online players are successfully capturing consumer attention with communication and content services launched at a rapid pace. Innovative business models from new players also challenge telecoms' fee-based revenue structures.

The global economy is experiencing one of the largest crises since 1929. The airline and leisure industries have been significantly impacted by the downturn as well as rising oil prices and airport charges. While the long term outlook remains positive, many airlines have failed and the industry saw large losses in 2008-2009. Low cost carriers have proven more resistant to the downturn. There are signs of potential recovery in 2010, but still much uncertainty, and travel behaviors may be altered by the crisis. Ancillary revenues and further cost optimization will be important to overcoming the challenges.

- Amadeus Capital is a leading early stage investor in information and communications technology companies based in Europe.
- It has over 15 years of experience investing in startups, with 85 companies funded and £500 million in assets under management across 7 funds.
- While Europe has lagged the US in terms of venture capital funding levels, the median pre-money valuations for European startups are significantly lower than in the US, making it an attractive time to invest.
- However, venture capital returns in Europe have been low since 2000, and fund raising remains a challenge due to the withdrawal of traditional limited partners from the market in recent years.
Africa Evolves, but it needs you - LBS Africa Day Conference 2010LBS Africa Club
Africa represents a small part of the global economy but has opportunities for growth. While Africa has experienced increasing stability and economic growth in recent decades, it still faces numerous challenges including poverty, low access to financial services, and underdeveloped infrastructure.

This document discusses attrition management and stewardship strategies for face-to-face fundraising campaigns. It outlines four pillars for minimizing donor attrition: inspiring donors, taking care of donor money through data management, monitoring donor performance, and treating donors differently. Specific recommendations are provided under each pillar, such as increasing communication frequency and customization, reconciling payment data monthly, and benchmarking attrition against industry averages. The importance of testing and evaluation is emphasized. The document notes that attrition rates can vary significantly between charities and that investing in attrition management could result in 50% higher income over 5 years for a campaign of 1,000 donors compared to not managing attrition.

3) Next steps for G20 members to further support communication, such as campaigns for gender equality, engaging businesses, and finding new development narratives.
The document discusses promoting women's economic empowerment through four focus topics: labor, digital, financial, and rural. It notes that 50% of women do not have an income of their own, women are overrepresented in part-time and low quality jobs, and only 40% of women have access to bank accounts. The document makes recommendations to address barriers women face in education, future of work, social services, and more to promote gender equality.
Low- and middle-income countries need $1.4 trillion annually to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. This requires tremendous investment in areas like health, education, agriculture, energy, water and sanitation, and infrastructure. However, scaling up investment is challenging due to slow economic growth, low existing investment rates, and declining fiscal balances in these countries. A robust policy framework is needed to deliver sustainable infrastructure and mobilize both public and private financing from domestic and international sources. The next 10-15 years will be crucial to shift investment towards a new growth path focused on sustainability.
The OECD Development Centre’s Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) is a cross-country measure of discrimination against women in social institutions (formal and informal laws, social norms, and practices) across 160 countries. Discriminatory social institutions intersect across all stages of girls’ and women’s life, restricting their access to justice, rights and empowerment opportunities and undermining their agency and decision-making authority over their life choices. As underlying drivers of gender inequalities, discriminatory social institutions perpetuate gender gaps in development areas, such as education, employment and health, and hinder progress towards rights-based social transformation that benefits both women and men.
The SIGI covers five dimensions of discriminatory social institutions, spanning major socio-economic areas that affect women’s lives: discriminatory family code, restricted physical integrity, son bias, restricted resources and assets, and restricted civil liberties. The SIGI’s variables quantify discriminatory social institutions such as unequal inheritance rights, early marriage, violence against women, and unequal land and property rights. Through its 160 country profiles, country classifications and unique database, the SIGI provides a strong evidence base to more effectively address the discriminatory social institutions that hold back progress on gender equality and women’s empowerment!

2. Main messages
• Infrastructures are key for potential growth, development and
stabilization policies (e.g. G20 agenda)
Growth and inequality gaps Asia-Latin America explained by infrastructure
gaps – less spending, lower quality (Calderón and Servén, 2004b)
• Emerging economies: significant infrastructure gaps
• Latin America lags behind Asia and emerging Europe
• Significant differences across infrastructure types (basic, transport, energy
and telecommunications) and countries
• Fundamentals-observed levels (Balmaseda, Daude, Melguizo and Taft, 2010)
• Policy response
• Building better institutions (quality of bureaucracy, fiscal position)
• Improving regulation (in particular around public-private financing)
