Austerity-Stimulus, Risks-Opportunities: Fresh insights and way forward.
The US and Europe have embarked on fundamentally different paths in resolving their debt challenges: Austerity measures in Europe versus stimulus in the US. Policy outcomes will be different, and cannot be overlooked by real estate investors. There are many risks to consider and lots of opportunities ahead. How should investors approach the market today? What strategies are investors pursuing for a brighter tomorrow? Join us for the freshest insights on real estate markets: A combination of our panelists' research, your insights gathered during MIPIM conferences and events, and through our survey responses.
By Gert-Jan Stads. Presented at the ASTI-FARA conference Agricultural R&D: Investing in Africa's Future: Analyzing Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities - Accra, Ghana on December 5-7, 2011. http://www.asti.cgiar.org/2011conf
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing middle-income countries as global wealth shifts. It notes that while shifting wealth has created opportunities through reduced poverty and new development resources, middle-income countries face challenges around productivity growth, social cohesion, environmental sustainability, and maintaining fiscal revenue levels. Specific challenges discussed include the risk of falling into a "middle income trap" with slowing growth, rising inequality and labor disputes, high youth unemployment in Africa, and tax revenues generally being lower in Latin American countries compared to OECD nations.
- Sales growth was 5.0% in Q3 2012 on a like-for-like basis, with reported growth of 9.4% due to currency and scope effects.
- For the first nine months of 2012, like-for-like sales grew 5.6% while reported growth was 8.3% due to currency impacts.
- Growth continues to be driven by emerging markets and North America, while Western Europe saw a deterioration, especially in Southern Europe.
Presentation, Economic Outlook for 2013 and Beyond, presented by Michael Brown, Wells Fargo Securities, presented at Winter 2012 NCLGBA Conference, 12/7/12
This document summarizes Colin I. Welsh's presentation on the global energy outlook. It finds that (1) global oil demand is outstripping supply due to reservoir depletion and underinvestment, leaving little spare production capacity. (2) Unconventional resources and offshore fields will make up an increasing share of global supply. (3) $550 billion or more in annual E&P spending is needed to meet rising demand, but spending trends have lagged. Aberdeen is well-positioned to benefit from opportunities in the global energy industry.
- Revenues for 9M 2011 were €1.48 billion, down 1.1% year-over-year or down 0.5% excluding currency impacts. Operating profit declined 25.2% to €119 million due to higher raw material costs and one-time costs.
- Net income declined 29.8% to €60 million due to negative currency hedging impacts and a lower tax rate year-over-year. Net debt increased to €749 million due to cash flow absorption from rising net working capital and continued investments.
- Performance was mixed by region, with growth in Asia offset by declines in key European markets like Italy, Greece and Iberia. Collections trends improved in the second half

This document discusses Costa Rica's development assistance and status as a middle-income country. It provides an overview of how countries are classified for receiving official development assistance based on income level and human development. While middle-income countries receive over 65% of development funds, Costa Rica's non-refundable cooperation has decreased steadily since 1990. The document concludes that development gaps beyond income should be considered and that middle-income countries can play a dual role as both assistance providers and recipients to address remaining weaknesses.

New Zealand has experienced moderate economic growth since the 1980s after implementing market-oriented reforms in response to an economic crisis. However, GDP per capita still lags OECD peers and productivity gains have been modest. To increase prosperity, New Zealand needs to diversify away from reliance on agriculture and pursue value-added industries less impacted by isolation through entrepreneurship and foreign direct investment, especially in sectors promoting skills transfer. The marine cluster presents an opportunity as a globally competitive non-agricultural industry that could expand into related fields.
Hugh Grant, Chairman and CEO of Monsanto, presented at the Goldman Sachs Agricultural Biotech Forum. In the presentation, Grant discussed Monsanto's focus on seeds and traits, which have driven strong gross profit growth.
