Venture Finance Zimbabwe - Tanaka Mudavanhu
The document discusses venture finance in Zimbabwe. It outlines the country's economic trends following crises in 2008, including high inflation and economic shrinkage. Currently, the GDP is growing at 4-6% annually but unemployment remains high at 90%. The key economic sectors are mining/manufacturing, agriculture, ICT, and energy. Venture capital regulations include minimum investments of $500,000 and limits on international investor ownership. Sources of venture financing include individuals, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East and Asia, though local venture capital participation is less than 1% of GDP. The unstable political environment of the past 15 years is projected to stabilize, creating better conditions for long-term investors in undervalued assets

Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced strong growth in recent years and is expected to continue growing faster than other regions like MENA at a rate of 5.7% through 2018, driven by factors like a young population and expanding infrastructure. This boom provides opportunities for GCC investors as Africa needs capital to fund its development, though it has resources and a large workforce. Some GCC companies have already invested in sectors like transportation, telecoms, real estate, and banking, taking advantage of Africa's growth and seeking to support Gulf food security through agriculture investment. QNB Group predicts Africa will keep growing strongly, creating more prospects for GCC corporations and investors.

Global remittance flows have been steadily increasing each year, reaching $636 billion in 2017. Developing countries received $459 billion that year. The top three remittance receiving countries are in Asia Pacific. Remittance costs have marginally declined but still represent around 8% of transaction amounts. Remittances make up a large portion of GDP for some small countries like Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Nepal. The European Union remains a major global economy and trading partner despite experiencing an 11% economic contraction during the recent recession period. Europe 2020 aims to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth across the region.

Emerging markets
Emerging markets represent a significant investment opportunity as they are expected to account for over 60% of global GDP by 2011 due to high growth rates. While emerging markets face challenges from the global crisis that started in developed economies, many emerging economies entered the crisis with stronger balance sheets and fiscal policies which provides an opportunity to break from past crises. Diversifying investments into emerging market assets provides benefits due to returns being driven by different local factors than developed markets.

Paradox of Plenty
· US equity markets have performed very well but the MSCI World (excluding US) has been relatively subdued and remains 20% below its 2008 peak.
· The global outlook for the twenty-twenties is distinctly ominous with China, Europe, the UK and the US facing systemic challenges.
· High equity yields, creative fiscal measures and unorthodox monetary tools might help markets temporarily but can only delay the day of reckoning.
· The TASI was as much as 19% higher at the end of April ahead of a massive inflow of foreign money but the index trade is now over.
· There are at least seven signs that could limit the scale of the economic rebound and make it difficult for the stock market to move higher.
· Marmore forecasts aggregate GCC profits to decline by 1.8% this year with earnings in Saudi Arabia dropping by 6.1%.
· A lower risk profile can mitigate the lurking dangers as is optimizing portfolios to benefit from falling interest rates and avoiding cyclicals.
The global economy in 2015
This report draws on over 10,000 interviews with business leaders as well as economic forecast data to better understand the growth opportunities and challenges facing dynamic companies over the next 12 months.
Global Economic Outlook: ABAC IV 2017
Michael Taylor from Moody's Investor Services presented on Asia's economic and credit outlook for 2018. He noted that improved global trade and industrial activity bodes well for Asia's macroeconomic outlook in 2018. Most rated Asian sovereigns have stable outlooks. However, escalating tensions in North Korea pose a risk, and multiple sources of elevated private and public debt across Asia could pose challenges depending on interest rate movements and global financial conditions.
Regional Economic Outlook: Middle East and Central Asia Update
Growth for countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAP) region has weakened but remains broadly stable in the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA). Volatile oil prices, restrained oil production, and tighter domestic monetary conditions in most oil exporters add to headwinds from slowing global growth. Elevated public debt in oil importers limits capacity to address critical infrastructure and social needs, restrains growth, and leaves economies vulnerable to external shocks. A more challenging external environment increases the urgency across all regions of further growth-friendly fiscal consolidation and structural reform efforts to enhance resilience and deliver higher and more inclusive private-sector-led growth.

The document discusses applying John Boyd's OODA (Observation, Orientation, Decision, Action) loop model to clinical drug research and safety. It describes how each step of the OODA loop - observation, orientation, decision, and action - applies to gathering and processing information during clinical trials and post-market drug surveillance. However, it notes multiple stakeholders and long timelines between investment and returns can disrupt timely and coordinated decision-making in this context. Real-time feedback is needed at each step to make the system effective.

Laconic Response
This document discusses Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall" and analyzes the differing mindsets represented by the two characters in the poem. It argues that the character advocating the phrase "Good fences make good neighbors" represents a Spartan mindset focused on tradition and order, while the other character questions traditions in a more Athenian fashion. The document provides background on Frost's extensive knowledge of Greek classics and suggests he may have been drawing on ideas about Athens and Sparta when writing this poem to represent differing worldviews.

China is emerging as a competitor in the global arms trade by offering fighter jets, missiles, and equipment that rival those of longtime exporters like Russia. European IT services firms expect little growth in 2011 as companies and governments keep IT spending low, resulting in intense pricing pressure.

Weekly news
China is emerging as a competitor in the global arms trade by offering fighter jets, missiles, and equipment that rival those of longtime exporters like Russia.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
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
