This document summarizes the opportunities in Zimbabwe's banking sector. It notes that Zimbabwe historically had a sophisticated banking sector but it declined during the hyperinflation era. Now with increased stability, there is opportunity for growth. The banking sector remains attractive due to the number of undercapitalized banks that could be acquired and the large unbanked population that could be served. Opportunities exist across corporate banking, investment banking, infrastructure finance, and agri-finance as the economy and sectors rebuild.

Bangladesh Private Commercial Banks Quarterly Overview - November 2011The Growth Institute
The operating profits of Bangladesh's private commercial banks declined in the third quarter due to falling stock prices, rising costs, and lower returns on investment. Several factors negatively impacted bank earnings, including high fiscal deficits, currency depreciation, inflation, and increased government borrowing which constrained loan growth. Investment income also fell significantly due to the plunging stock market. While commission income provided some relief, overall most banks saw declines in net interest income. Looking ahead, interest income is expected to fall further and banks will realize losses from marked-to-market adjustments to stock holdings. Continued high government borrowing and regulatory limits on lending are also likely to constrain loan growth.

Impact of Foreign Debt on Economic Growth in Zimbabweiosrjce
The study investigates the impact of foreign debt on economic growth in Zimbabwe. Time series data
covering the period 1980 -2013 is analysed using ordinary least squares regression. Labour force, capital
investment, and trade openness are used as control variables. The results show that external debt and trade
openness impact negatively on economic growth in Zimbabwe while capital investment and labour force growth
has a positive effect. The study recommends that the country should not heavily rely on foreign borrowing to
finance economic growth but should rather create a conducive environment for alternative sources of foreign
funds such as project finance and foreign direct investment. It is further recommended that the country should
curb excessive imports of consumables and encourage value-added exports by local manufacturers.
The document discusses emerging trends in the global and Indian forex markets. It outlines several key factors that drive forex market growth globally and in India, including economic shifts, government policies, social trends, and the lucrative nature of forex trading. Some of the factors that have contributed to growth in India include rising foreign investment, GDP growth, increased currency transactions, and a growing young investor population. The conclusion is that the combination of global equity markets, economic growth, foreign investment, and transactions will help further increase India's position in the global forex market.

The document summarizes a presentation on the effects of the recent global financial crisis on investment patterns of investors in Ludhiana, India. It finds that most investors' financial position remained the same or improved, and that the preferred long-term investment was savings accounts. The preferred sector was services, though some sectors like real estate were negatively impacted by the crisis. Overall, investors remained optimistic about the growth of the US and Indian economies going forward.
The document summarizes economic indicators and corporate earnings in Sri Lanka. It reports that the Sri Lankan economy grew 8% in 2010, with the banking and finance sector contributing most to corporate earnings growth of 140% overall. Private sector credit growth was up 28.1% year-on-year in January 2011. Tourist arrivals rose 15% in February 2011 and are expected to reach 750,000 for the full year.
The document summarizes key findings from the Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR) regarding business sentiment in Vietnam. While businesses in Vietnam remain optimistic about the economy and their prospects for revenue and hiring over the next year, optimism declined slightly compared to 2010. Inflation and the cost of financing remain major constraints. The majority of businesses feel the government's currency controls impact their operations and two-thirds have strengthened their focus on the domestic market since the global financial crisis.
Bank Negara announced yesterday measures for further liberalisation of the financial
sector:
Increase in foreign equity limits. The foreign equity limit for investment banks,
Islamic banks, insurance companies and takaful operators has been raised from 49%
to 70%. It is envisaged that these institutions’ business potential and growth prospects
will be enhanced by the international expertise and global networks of foreign
shareholders. However, the cap on foreign shareholdings in domestic commercial
banks remains at 30%.
New banking and Takaful licences up for grabs. New licences will be issued to
strong and world-class players in the following categories:
• In 2009, up to two new Islamic banking licences will be issued to foreign players to
establish new Islamic banks with paid-up capital of at least US$1bn.
• In 2009, up to two new commercial banking licences will be issued to foreign
players that will bring in specialised expertise.
• In 2011, up to three new commercial banking licences will be dished out to worldclass
banks that can offer significant value propositions to Malaysia.
• In 2009, up to two new family takaful licences will be made available.
Greater operational flexibility for foreign banks. Locally-incorporated foreign
commercial banks can establish up to 10 microfinance branches with immediate
effect. Further branches will be considered based on the effectiveness of these
branches in servicing microenterprises. Foreign banks will also be allowed to establish
up to four new branches in 2010 based on the distribution ratio of 1 branch in market
centres, 2 in semi-urban areas and 1 in non-urban areas.
Locally-incorporated foreign insurance companies and takaful operators are now
allowed to set up branches nationwide without restriction. The restriction against these
companies entering into bancassurance/bankatakaful arrangements with banking
institutions has been lifted.
Other liberalisation. Banks, insurance companies and takaful operators now have
greater flexibility to employ specialist expatriates with expertise to continue the
development of Malaysia’s financial system. Offshore financial institutions that meet
the predetermined criteria will be given the flexibility to have a physical presence
onshore – from 2010 for banking institutions and from 2011 for insurance companies.
Comments
Liberalisation well expected. The further liberalisation of the financial sector is within
our and market expectations as it is in line with the objectives laid out in the Financial
Sector Master Plan (FSMP) issued in 2001. Furthermore, the government has alluded
to announcements on this matter this week.
Upping foreign equity limits for Islamic and investment banks... However, it is a
surprise to us that Bank Negara has increased the foreign equity limits for Islamic and
investment banks from 49% to 70% as this means that foreigners will control these
entities. It appears that the authorities view the relaxation as necessary to attract more
foreign players into the Malaysian market to help develop these segments.
…but not for commercial banks. We are also surprised that the government did not
increase the 30% foreign equity limit for domestic commercial banks, which is
something the market had been looking forward to. An increase in the equity limit for

Emerging Capital Markets: The Road to 2030Credit Suisse
1/2014
For the most part, emerging nation capital markets remain underdeveloped relative to the size of their economies, despite rapid growth in capital-raising over the past two decades. We believe this gap will close, driven by a disproportionately large contribution from emerging equity and corporate bond supply and demand, given relatively high savings ratios prevalent among emerging economies.
In this proprietary study, we extrapolate established historical patterns of growth in emerging and developed capital markets to assist in projecting their absolute and relative dimension and composition of market value by the year 2030.
After a return to more expansionary monetary policies in early 2019, the world’s non-financial corporations borrowed an additional USD 2.1 trillion in the form of corporate bonds. In real terms, this is equivalent to the amount borrowed in the previous record year 2016 and represents a clear reversal of the decrease in corporate bond issuance during 2018. Adding the record borrowing during 2019 to the unprecedented build-up of corporate bond debt since 2008 means that the global outstanding stock of non-financial corporate bonds at the end of 2019 reached an all-time high of USD 13.5 trillion.
The new data in this OECD report, Corporate Bond Market Trends, Emerging Risks and Monetary Policy, shows that, in addition to its growing size, the quality and dynamics of the outstanding stock of corporate bonds have also changed. Compared with previous credit cycles, today’s stock of outstanding corporate bonds has lower overall credit quality, higher payback requirements, longer maturities and inferior covenant protection. These are features that may amplify the negative effects that an economic downturn would have on the non-financial corporate sector and the overall economy.

- The budget aimed to narrow the fiscal deficit to 4.8% of GDP while raising spending through higher revenues. However, the 2014 shortfall target of 5% may be optimistic.
- Investors were disappointed by the higher-than-expected net borrowing target of Rs. 17,000 crore as it hit market sentiment and the rupee.
- The three month forecast for the USD/INR exchange rate is 55, with risks of further depreciation beyond 55 in the near term. Longer term, the rate is expected to reach
Pan-African banks- stylised facts and results of a pilot surveyJean Philippe Stijns
This document discusses recent trends in banking in sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that while banking sectors in SSA are generally underdeveloped, they have been deepening rapidly in recent years, with improving access to finance. Pan-African banks have played a role in this growth, expanding across borders and increasing competition. These banks have larger scale operations than most SSA banks and have continued expanding in recent years. The document also discusses factors that have contributed to the high costs of banking in SSA, such as small market sizes and population densities outside major cities.
This document provides an overview of the automobile industry in India. It discusses that India has a large and growing automobile industry, including major companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata Motors. Production of automobiles has increased steadily each year from 2005 to 2010. Exports of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, and two-wheelers have also increased annually. The market size of the Indian automotive industry is projected to reach $122-159 billion by 2016. However, the industry has become more volatile in recent years due to fluctuations in metal and fuel prices.

The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios.
Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and most important – wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.
We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers:
• What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business;
• How to ensure effective streamlined delivery;
• How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities;
• How to manage resource allocation.
Key take away – a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn’t templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!

This document discusses the importance of startups for economic growth and job creation. It argues that while large existing firms provide jobs and revenue, they typically do not create net new jobs over time. In contrast, startups and small businesses are responsible for over 70% of new job creation. The document also highlights how startup cultures that celebrate innovation, failure and passion can drive greater economic dynamism by pushing all firms to continuously evolve and innovate. It provides the example of the author's experience interning at a fast-growing Indian tech startup to illustrate the vibrant atmosphere such companies can foster.
The document summarizes a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit on the global economic outlook for Q4 2020. It finds that advanced economies will enter a "new normal" characterized by slow growth, low inflation, and high debt due to the fiscal stimulus measures enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Central banks have taken on the new role of directly financing government spending, and low interest rates mean debt servicing costs are negligible. As a result, debt piles may simply disappear over time if growth outpaces interest rates. However, this situation also carries long-term risks for productivity, inflation, and financial stability.
France has the second largest factoring market in the world behind the UK. Factoring involves companies selling their receivables to factors, who then manage the receivables, finance the companies, and take on the risk of unpaid invoices. The French factoring market is concentrated among a few large players, with the top 5 factors making up 87% of the market. Factoring provides benefits to companies such as turning receivables into cash and reducing management costs.

The IMF document discusses Spain's economic situation following the global financial crisis. Key points:
1) Spain accumulated large imbalances during a housing boom that ended in recession, with unemployment tripling to 27% and fiscal deficits rising sharply.
2) More recently, imbalances have begun correcting as exports recover and domestic demand weakens, reducing twin fiscal and current account deficits. However, unemployment remains very high at 27% and private sector debt reduction continues weighing on growth.
3) The outlook is difficult with a protracted period of weak growth expected as fiscal consolidation and private sector deleveraging drag on the economy despite strong net exports. Unemployment is forecast to remain elevated for many years.

This document provides an overview of PROEX, Brazil's export financing program. It discusses the history and rationale for the program, how it works, who manages it, what types of companies and goods/services it supports, and the application process. PROEX aims to boost Brazil's exports by providing post-shipment financing to small and medium exporters through commercial banks. It helps lower risks and offers competitive interest rates to make Brazilian exports more attractive internationally. Studies have found that PROEX and other export promotion efforts in Brazil have been effective at growing export volumes and improving firms' technological capabilities.
The document discusses opportunities in the Italian non-performing loan (NPL) market. Key points:
1) Prime Minister Renzi's reforms aim to improve the Italian economy by rewriting labor laws and improving bureaucracy, which should support the real estate market.
2) Italian banks have a large inventory of non-performing loans (NPLs) and little capacity to manage them, so banks are motivated to sell their NPLs.
3) Certain parts of the Italian real estate market remain distressed even after recovery in other European markets like Spain and Portugal, presenting opportunities for investors.
How have Market Challenges Affected Microfinance Investment Funds Dr Lendy Spires
The total assets of the 10 largest microfinance investment funds grew in 2011, reaching $4 billion, driven by increased demand from microfinance institutions for capital. While support from investors remained strong with the launch of new funds, fund returns were lower on average due to lower market interest rates and higher loan loss provisions. Microfinance investment funds are increasingly targeting underserved markets in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and rural areas with support from development finance institutions.
Italy has the ninth largest economy in the world with a GDP of approximately €1.48 trillion. The Italian economy is expected to contract by 1.8% in 2013 and grow by only 0.2% in 2014. Business confidence remains fragile in Italy, with just 16% of businesses expecting revenue to increase in the next 12 months. Economic uncertainty, bureaucracy, and low demand are constraining business expansion. Restoring competitiveness is a challenge as Italian businesses have been slower to lower costs than Spain.

Ey g20 entrepreneurship barometer 2013 country report france low res(1)echosentrepreneurs
France has potential for entrepreneurship but struggles to support entrepreneurs. High taxes, including labor taxes that are over double the G20 average, are a significant obstacle. However, the government has recently taken steps to address this through tax credits and establishing a public investment bank to streamline funding. While access to funding for entrepreneurs remains challenging, initiatives in education, clusters, and tax credits for R&D have helped and the government is increasingly committed to encouraging entrepreneurship and economic growth. Major reforms will be needed, however, to fully unlock France's entrepreneurial potential.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Economy of French Republic
France is in the midst of transition from a well to-do modern economy .
The government has partially or fully privatized many large companies,
banks, and insurers, and has ceded stakes in such leading firms as Air
France, France Telecom, Renault, and Thales.
It maintains a strong presence in some sectors, particularly power, public
transport, and defense industries.
France is the most visited country in the world and maintains the third
largest income in the world from tourism With at least 75 million foreign
tourists per year.
France has weathered the global economic crisis better than most other big
European Union economies.
3.
France's real GDP contracted 2.5% in 2009.
It recovered somewhat in 2010, while the unemployment rate
increased from 7.4% in 2008 to 9.5% in 2010.
The government budget deficit rose sharply from 3.4% of GDP in
2008 to 6.9% of GDP in 2010, while France's public debt rose from
68% of GDP to 82% over the same period.
Paris is terminating stimulus measures, eliminating tax credits, and
freezing most government spending to bring the budget deficit
under the 3% euro-zone ceiling by 2013.
4.
There is a minimum employment wage in France that is regulated by
the French Government.
These minimum wages are called ― SalarieMinimum de Croissance
(or SMIC for short), and are set at around 8.86 Euros per hour of
labor.
Moreover the wages are paid at least once every 30 days, mostly at
the end of each month, and payment is made through either check
or deposit into the employee‘s bank account.
In Comparison to INDIA, France has a better way of calculating the
wages to be given to the employees with respect to their work.
5.
European union
The crises was preceded by long period of rapid credit growth ,low-risk
premiums,
The ongoing recession is thus likely to leave deep and long-lasting
traces on economic performance
The financial crisis has had a pervasive impact on there al economy of
the EU.
Slow down is widely perceived to require an adjustment of fiscal
positions towards close to balance the economy .
The unemployment rate is forecast to increase to close to 11% in the EU
by 2010.
6.
The emerging economies in Asia–in particular China–and oil
exporters are disposed to assume their role as US creditor owing to
their large national saving surpluses.
The French have been experiencing difficulties in paying for their
loans and debts.
The financial crisis offers no job opportunities for them
They are now getting into too many debts because they cannot find
money to pay these transactions because of this crisis
Moreover, financial institutions are also closing down.
7.
Creating two state agencies that will provide funds to sectors where
they are needed-
One entity has issued up to $480 billion in guarantees on inter-bank
lending issued before December 31, 2009, and was valid for five
years.
Other entity will use a $60 billion fund to recapitalize struggling
companies by allowing the government to buy stakes in the firms.
President Sarkozy announced that the French government would
take a tougher stance toward French banks that seek state aid. Up to
that point, France had injected $15 billion in the French banking
system
8.
The Indian banking system has had no direct exposure to the subprime mortgage assets or to the failed institutions. In fact, our
banks continue to remain safe and healthy.
External demand, as measured by merchandize exports, accounts
for less than 15 per cent of our GDP.
The Indian corporate sector's access to external funding has
markedly increased in the last five years. In the five-year period
2003-08, the share of investment in India's GDP rose by 11
percentage points.
9.
The big risk is a possible repeat of what happened in 1996: Projects
that are halfway to completion, or companies that are stuck with
cash flow issues on businesses that are yet to reach break-even, will
run out of cash.
One danger meanwhile is of a dip in the employment market. There
is already anecdotal evidence of this in the IT and financial sectors,
and reports of quiet downsizing in many other fields as companies
cut costs.
Significant drop in new hiring --and that will change the complexion
of the job market.
10.
India has taken an array of monetary and fiscal measures, in quick
succession, to contain inflationary pressures.
The Reserve Bank had, within four weeks in October, lowered
reservations and reduced a key interest rate to provide some 250,000
crores of liquidity for banks to finance businesses and consumers
The confidence and strength to the Indian economy is its sound financial
sector with its well-regulated and well-capitalized banking system.
RBI projects that the annual rate of inflation would be down to 7 percent
by March 2009.
Even at 7.5 percent, India will remain these fastest growing economy
The Prime-Minister has set-up a high powered group chaired by him to
closely monitor the evolving macro-economic
11.
If we see in this manner a lot of decisions which are taken up by the
French government are ought to be learned and applied in India
The political relations positively are used by French government for
the progress and growth of the economy
The French economy is well managed and some positive and right
decisions has took it to the greater heights and apart from
developed country
India’s success is also remarkable being a fastest growing
developing country but need to adopt some more good policies from
French economy.
13.
French banking industry is constantly opening its business world wide.
Payments via debit card can be made in one payment at the end of each
month rather than immediately.
Pin-code needs to be used with each over-the-counter card transaction.
These measures successfully cut down on credit card debt and fraud
problems in France & other countries also.
French mortgage is a very attractive option to many investors,
normally offer 100% mortgage finance to foreigners, with interest
rates capped at 4%.
Fixed rate mortgages are available for long terms only of between
10 and 20 years maximum term for a French mortgage is 20 years
or up to the age of 70 ,which ever is sooner.
