Long commutes and traffic jams once associated with older, established cities such as London, New York or Tokyo are spreading throughout the world’s emerging economies.
Medicines are unusual commodities. Important drugs can save the lives and protect the health of millions. Their consumption can bring huge benefits, by helping patients to avoid infection and preventing serious damage to the economies of families, nations and even humanity at large.
Americans, we passionately believe, are a humane people. We showed that in restoring wounded economies abroad after World War II, even those of our enemies, Germany and Japan.
Globalisation began what should be called the Great Convergence, creating a globalising labour market in which wages in emerging market economies slowly converge with wages in rich economies, generating a steady drop in real wages across Europe.
I was with top CEOs in 2009, and they were clearly shaken. Top leaders of Wall Street and elsewhere, shaken. The ones at the top did get by because if they are seeing a decline somewhere, there is also growth elsewhere, like in emerging economies.

Corruption, embezzlement, fraud, these are all characteristics which exist everywhere. It is regrettably the way human nature functions, whether we like it or not. What successful economies do is keep it to a minimum. No one has ever eliminated any of that stuff.
Water is the foundation for our economies, communities, ecosystems, and quality of life.
In government-directed economies, the collective takes priority over the individual. The moral ideal is equal results. That approach could not be further removed from the real world.
In essence, capitalist systems are a mechanism by which economies may generate growth in knowledge – with much uncertainty in the process, owing to the incompleteness of knowledge.
Business cycles lengthened greatly during the 20th century, as central banks learned to manage national economies by raising and lowering interest rates.
The IMF played crucial roles in the 1980s debt crisis and in the transformation of former communist economies. Radical change, many might argue, is neither necessary nor desirable.
Economies are complex beasts that need people to do an extraordinary range of tasks.
China’s relationship with the world has changed dramatically since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan resulting in human lives and global economies being ravaged.
We can choose food that doesn’t lead to illnesses like diabetes and cancer. We can choose food that doesn’t contribute to water pollution and climate change. And we can choose food that keeps local economies vibrant and farmers on their land.
There are abundant opportunities for A.P. No other Indian state has such great opportunities to develop port-based industrial economies.
Modern economies rely on debt, which encourages productivity and growth. But that system of credit requires consequences for debtors who default.
For the next three years, we’re going to see different economies work out different problems. For European economies, especially Greece, it would be through default.
Even people who aren’t engaged on the actual battlefield – the effects of war reach out like tentacles into families, into economies, into the changing geography, into politics. It shakes up everything.
China’s continued growth and rising household income are creating opportunities for lower-income economies in low-cost manufacturing.
Relative to other economies in the world, India has a good feel to it.
If we do not counter the argument that most radical nationlists use, which is, ‘To protect is to be protectionist,’ if we don’t counter that argument, all of our economies will suffer.
Many smaller economies – island states, poor nations, and tropical countries are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Monetary policy should never have been expected to shift economies to a sustainably higher growth trajectory by itself.
The telecom industry reaches into every corner of our economies, societies, and private lives, and it is one of the greatest drivers of economic growth and human equality the world has ever seen.
In their pursuit of growth and diversification, African economies should consider transforming the discourse from a focus on industrialisation to a broader one centred on value addition in agriculture, manufacturing, and services.
In order to retain our position as the dynamic duo of the world, it’s vital that in the UK and US we keep opportunities open for new people and new ideas. And we can never allow our economies to get furred up.
Climate change is a global crisis – one the international community and private sector must tackle together if we have any hope of averting the worst impacts on our health, our economies, and our communities.
Many anti-energy groups display little appreciation of the extent to which modern economies depend pervasively on the use of fossil fuels and petrochemical products.
The challenge to our national economies and the collective economy of Europe will become – with the growth of China and the continuing productivity growth of the US – even more intense in the decades to come.
The leaders of the world’s largest economies agreed during the November 2008 G20 summit not to create barriers hindering global trade and capital flows. Russia shares these principles.
Games are work. There are economies popping up in games now because people value them.
Our view is that economic isolationism is the wrong way to go. Vibrant, successful growing economies that advance the interests of their citizens engage the global economy. And, we’re committed to engaging the global economy.
The major economies are not American anymore. They are Asian and South American.
The U.S. has fewer, stingier, more complicated, and more conditional safety nets available to people than many other advanced economies – less generous ‘automatic stabilizers,’ in economic parlance.
Emerging market economies have long grappled with the challenges posed by large and volatile cross-border capital flows.
Congress must take responsibility for a new positive direction – an innovative agenda that will lead to a more secure America. Secure communities, secure economies, and a secure quality of life.
To build more human economies in Africa, governments must be far more strategic, wise, and forward-looking in their expenditure and build diverse economies that are going to deliver the jobs for the next generation.
Thriving economies on both sides of the border is a win-win for Arizona and Mexico, but that will only come by working together and demonstrating mutual respect.
I see the Philippines one day as a developed country, one of the major economies of Asia – perhaps not in six years, but definitely in our lifetime.
If you look around the world and see all the different countries struggling to get away from very low inflation rates with economies not nearly as strong as ours, you want to make sure we avoid those circumstances.
At the outset of the creation of the euro in 1999, it was expected that the southern eurozone economies would behave like those in the north; the Italians would behave like Germans. They didn’t. Instead, northern Europe fell into subsidizing southern Europe’s excess consumption, that is, its current account deficits.
Internal protectionism in Europe would be deadly, really a disaster for European economies.
Britain should not be held back by the E.U.’s protectionist stance which keeps so many developing countries from growing their economies.
Wars have economies. And I don’t mean financial economies, although that’s often part of it. Why do people continue fighting these wars? There are financial incentives.
The biggest opportunity in 2013 is in Africa. It has seven out of the ten fastest-growing economies in the world. In Nigeria alone there are 100 million people with mobile phones. In total, 300 million Africans – five times the population of Britain – are in the middle class.
We do expect there will be some big centralised miners that will have a lots of storage and economies of scale. But there will also be a large cloud of small miners all over the world.
Art is more than a series of images that are disembodied. Art is objects that live in real places, economies, spaces, architecture.
You then get into a period a few years ago, where a lot of external factors that we didn’t have anything to do with did hit, and some of them at the same time… devaluations, weak economies, you name it, in various parts of the world.
A high-quality public education can build much-needed skills and knowledge. It can help children reach their God-given potential. It can stabilize communities and democracies. It can strengthen economies. It can combat the kind of fear and despair that evolves into hatred.
