Dear GlobalRisk Community member,

 

 

World Economic Forum has published its GlobalRisk Report 2011

The report warns that economic imbalances, volatile commodity prices and currencies, and governments' budget shortfalls are "unsustainable".

Economic disparity and global governance failures both influence the evolution of many other global risks and inhibit our capacity to respond effectively to them.

Beyond these two cross-cutting global risks, three important clusters of risks have emerged in this year’s analysis:

The “macroeconomic imbalances” cluster including imbalances and currency volatility, fiscal crises and asset price collapse arise from the tension between the increasing wealth and influence of emerging economies and high levels of debt in advanced economies

The “illegal economy” cluster including state fragility, illicit trade, organized crime and corruption.

The “water-food-energy” cluster: A rapidly rising global population and growing prosperity are putting unsustainable pressures on resources.

 

Five risks have been designated as “risks to watch”,

Cyber-security issues ranging from the growing prevalence of cyber theft to the little-understood possibility of all-out cyber warfare;

Demographic challenges adding to fiscal pressures in advanced economies and creating severe risks to social stability in emerging economies;

Resource security issues causing extreme volatility and sustained increases over the long run in energy and commodity prices, if supply is no longer able to keep up with demand;

Retrenchment from globalisation through populist responses to economic disparities, if emerging economies do not take up a leadership role;

Weapons of mass destruction, especially the possibility of renewed nuclear proliferation between states.

 

We already saw the Economic disparity has been shockingly exposed in the events in Tunis last week. And this might be just a small repetition of what might happen on a much larger scale in countries such as Egypt, Iran, Pakistan.

 

 

By the way if you've got a frog for a picture, hurry up and replace it!

Plunging oil prices: curse or blessing in disguise?

The recent sudden crash of oil prices has had a major impact on the world economy, leading to many troubled faces in the international arena. The Russians fear the effects of yet another powerful hit on their economy, Venezuela seems to be considering default and the Americans are weary of the consequences for its young and emerging shale oil industry. And then you have the Middle East, where the smallest match is enough to ignite the largest fire. But are these worries really justified or…
