Global economy continues to weather the

most difficult times these days. What

began as financial crisis in the United

States quickly turned into the largest

global recession that caused massive

declines in consumer demand, rising

unemployment and protectionist

measures worldwide.

Although the developing countries at first seemed to be spared from the fall out of

this crisis, many countries have subsequently faced slumping demand for their

export products and significant reductions in foreign investment and remittances.

All over the world governments have taken an active stance in addressing the

crisis and the policy makers are still engaged to address one of the severest

economic challenges of our times.
