Global Economic Outlook
Despite recent financial volatility and high energy prices, the world economy is widely expected to continue its robust growth path in 2008, with emerging and developing economies leading the way. Yet, some concerns remain. This session will highlight the main trends and critical challenges to the global economy over the next 12 to 18 months.
1) What are the potential spillover risks from the expected slowdown in the US? How might they be mitigated?
2) How would an increase in financial volatility affect the growth prospects of developing countries?
3) What are the implications of the economic outlook for companies expanding internationally?

As he reads the script his buddy Rockefeller wrote for him, can any of you see how our world economy is being engineered? The central banks need more oversight hardcore.

Super engineering projects, see the web link in my profile, can provide a great number of ongoing jobs. Expanding jobs, research and engineering in these new areas allow for much growth with NASA and the Navies having paved the way. Science driver projects and ocean farming to feed and provide jobs for a growing population. With the UN millennium project outsourcing jobs to China and India, we now need real super projects to replace jobs for USA, Germany, Canada and Japan.

Very nice to hear what some of the chiefs are thinking. You mentioned Cain economics Government projects, corporate research and engineering jobs put money in consumer's pockets. Protectionism, Nationalism? The international space station is a government project that steps beyond this. This proven, we now need super international government projects for USA, Germany, Canada, Europe, Russia and Japan. Since the middle east and China are doing so well, because we support them.
