BRIC Countries: Unified in their Hatred of the Dollar
| |
| The BRIC ETF (EEB) and the US dollar have an inverse relationship; that is when the dollar is going down, the BRIC ETF is going up and vice versa. So it makes sense that some of the BRIC countries would like us to have a weak dollar. But yet we always hear that China is concerned about our weak dollar? What gives? What do they want from the dollar? |

Facts about SMEs in Africa
| |
| Very few countries have working definitions of SMEs, except some members of UEMOA/WAEMU and Mauritius and
Morocco. So data on this is hard to compare, though patterns can be seen and countries can be ranked by extent of
SME activity: |

5.1 The results vary by diversification regime: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| At this point, it is worthwhile to recall the five diversification regimes: those countries
with little diversification; countries that started but got stuck in the diversification
process; those with deepened diversification; backsliders in diversification; and
the conflict and post-conflict countries. This report suggests that belonging to a
particular regime has more to do with policy and institutional factors at the country
level. Consequently, there are different determinants when the discussion is brought
to the country level (see table A5.2 for correlation results). |

Market access: Provisions of Agreement on Agriculture
| |
| An often-mentioned problem of developing countries’ agricultural export has been the lack
of access to developed countries' markets, due to the institution of a myriad of import
controls and other restrictions. This has largely undermined the growth prospects of
developing countries whose development strategy relied on agricultural exports. |

The Emerging Strength of Emerging Markets
| |
| The rise of emerging markets appears to be the defining economic theme of the current decade – much as information technology was in the 1990s and Japan’s manufacturing prowess was in the 1980s. Both of those stories, however, ultimately ended in speculative excess and painful corrections. Will the same thing happen in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries? Or is the emerging markets boom still in its infancy? If the answer to the latter question is yes, will the developed world turn to protectionism in an attempt to preserve its dominant position in the global economy? |

The Up-Comers - The 3rd Billion Will Influence All the Rest
| |
|
The financial community and the industry love to talk about big numbers like a billion. Especially when they're talking about people who are standing in line to spend money. For years we've classified BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) as the growing billion everyone had to begin targeting their products/services to so they could grow profitably. But suddenly that billion look like they are buying the PC/CE/communications products/services as rapidly as they can afford (ok so that doesn't say much right now). So we need to seek out our next prospective market.
In a number of countries they have literally been right under our nose...yes women who have previously been viewed as "second class" citizens are asserting themselves and taking their lives, their future in their own hands. |
