LONDON, March 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Even if the sun is shining today, grey clouds could be arriving tomorrow. This is certainly true of the global economy, where market volatility can be both sudden and unexpected. In the latest issue of World Finance, these forces for change, both good and bad, are examined alongside the best ways of reacting to them.
After a decade of quantitative easing (QE), Kim Darrah explores the policy options available to central banks in the post-crisis era. Should the likes of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank consider returning to the lean balance sheets of the pre-2007 world or seek a new normal? Banks may have accepted that the time has come to unwind their QE programmes, but how they should do so is less clear-cut.
Elsewhere, Zenith Bank’s chairman Jim Ovia explains how his organisation is adapting and flourishing in the aftermath of Nigeria’s recent recession. The bank has made sustainability a key priority as it looks to play a leading role in moving the country’s economy away from its oil dependency. In addition, Ovia details how Zenith gives consideration to today’s more environmentally conscious world, adopting “clean Earth” principles in everything it does.
Shifts are also occurring in China, where attempts are being made to transition from a manufacturing-led economy to a services-driven one. Elizabeth Matsangou investigates Beijing’s efforts to facilitate this transition and tackle its mounting debt levels, without stifling the country’s economic expansion.
Other features to be found in the new edition of World Finance include articles on the burgeoning legal cannabis industry, Estonia’s embrace of cryptocurrencies and regulatory changes at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. There’s also an indepth discussion on how the Greek economy is likely to fare once it exits its bailout programme later this year.
