ACCA and IMA publish report highlighting long-term global economic issues

Posted on by admin

Today, the Global Economic Themes report was jointly published by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants). The report examines three of the longer-term structural issues that are affecting the global economy as well as the global economic impact of the US-China trade tensions. The three issues are:   

  • The Euro – fiscal integration needed

The Euro has survived its first two decades, despite several financial crises that threatened its very existence. But it has not been a success – it has failed to deliver the real economic convergence among its members claimed for it at the outset. Indeed, the Euro’s “one size fits all” monetary policy has delivered economic divergence, not convergence. History suggests that monetary unions only survive in the long run if they become fiscal unions too. The next two decades of the Euro are likely to see further progress in this direction ultimately resulting in a eurozone Finance ministry with tax and spending powers. Limited progress so far has come following financial crises – a prime candidate for the next eurozone crisis is Italy, where public sector debt is very high and the banking system increasingly fragile.

 

  • China – becoming rich before it becomes old?

Many analysts have predicted that this century will belong to China. Indeed, China has great advantages, including a modern infrastructure, a large domestic market that allows firms to exploit economies of scale and an advanced digital economy. But there are challenges that must be overcome if China is to succeed in propelling itself from a middle-income country to a high income one. High levels of debt, especially among State Owned Enterprises, are now limiting the ability of the authorities to stimulate growth through lower interest rates. In addition, the population of working age is now declining as the population as a whole ages. This will both reduce the trend rate of GDP growth and increase the dependency ratio – fewer workers in relation to an increasing number of older people.

  • The USA – public debt challenges

The U.S. economy has now expanded continuously for over 10 years, the longest such period in over 150 years. But there are structural changes that represent challenges for policymakers. Perhaps the greatest concern arises from the level of public sector debt, which is on track to reach its highest level since 1946. More positively, the U.S. can operate at lower levels of unemployment without generating upward pressure on inflation. Finally, the resurgence of the oil industry and the emergence of the U.S. as a net exporter of oil is a positive for the economy because it is not reliant on the Middle East for supplies. But again, it is one that requires an adjustment in policy responses and may introduce greater volatility to the economic cycle. Now a lot of investment and spending is tied into the oil market therefore this could increase volatility in the oil sector.

Michael Taylor, Chief Economist at ACCA said: ‘The articles in the Global Economic Themes report look at economic issues that are likely to have an impact over the longer term.  

‘Through much of last year, US-China trade tensions increased which undermined business confidence and investment as well as contributing to a sharp slowdown in global trade. A recent improvement in trade relations resulted in a ‘Phase One’ trade deal which included a modest reduction in some tariffs.’   

Taylor added: ‘China’s economy now faces very serious challenges with the coronavirus epidemic. Extended factory closures and travel restrictions may well completely stall the economy in the first quarter of the year. But provided the virus is brought under control soon, we would expect activity to recover fairly quickly later in the year. However, a prolonged crisis could result in a more permanent reduction in Chinese economic growth for example, if there were significant job losses that further reduce consumer confidence and spending.’

Raef Lawson, Ph.D., CMA, CPA, IMA vice president of research and policy, said, ‘We saw confidence in the U.S. tread low throughout the year before an uptick in Q4. The economy continues to expand, and fears of a recession have quelled with continued consumer spending and rising wages. With 2020 being a U.S. presidential election year, confidence should continue to move upward.’

Blue Band Launches Social Mission Program

‘Barhenge Hum Barhega Pakistan’ to Inculcate the Importance of Breakfast

Lahore (Muhammad Yasir) To address the accelerating issue of Vitamin A and Vitamin D deficiency prevailing amongst kids in Pakistan, Blue Band has announced a nationwide Social Mission Program 2020 through a launch event on the 19th of February, 2020 at Ramada Hotel, Lahore. Gracing the event as the chief guest was Dr. Yasmin Rashid – Health Minister Punjab showing her support and encouragement for educating children about the importance of breakfast through an integrated school program. The purpose of the campaign is to educate children, parents and schools about the importance of a healthy breakfast packed with the right dose of nutrients, especially Vitamin A and Vitamin D that a child requires for growth and nourishment.

According to Pakistan Nutrition Survey 2018, Micronutrient deficiency is a major concern in Pakistan with over 50% percent of children suffering from Vitamin A and over 40% suffering from Vitamin D deficiency. This prevents children from reaching their actual growth potential and can also cause numerous childhood diseases and affect cognitive development. Blue Band Margarine intends to inspire schools, parents and children themselves to choose a healthy breakfast packed with required nutrients on a daily basis.

Speakers at the event spoke about Blue Band Margarine’s Social Mission and further highlighted on how this mission is going to address the problem of micronutrient deficiency at hand. 

Present at the event, Fariyha Subhani, CEO Upfield Pakistan said, “35% of Pakistan’s population is under the age of 15  meaning a large proportion of children in Pakistan are not living at their best because they have micronutrient deficiency. Lack of Vitamin A and D prevent children from performing better in life. Fortified with Vitamin A and D, Blue Band has undertaken this initiative to address parents, schools and children about the importance of consuming the right nutrients at breakfast. The aim is to reach 1,000,000 children and their parents with the ambition of growing healthy kids and a healthier Pakistan – Barhenge Hum Barhega Pakistan’

Kamran Ahmed Siddiqui, Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Manager, Upfield Pakistan said, “The number of children in Pakistan that lack sufficient Vitamin A and D is increasing at an alarming rate.. Mindful of this, Blue Band decided to initiate a discussion about the importance of nutritious food, in particular breakfast, to help children grow and thrive on a nutritious diet. Moreover, to take action in bring about a change to support such an important issue is something I am personally invested in  and I am hopeful that this initiative can bring about a significant and necessary change in our society.”

Blue Band is a good source of healthy fats, enriched with vitamin A and vitamin D and provides a boost of energy in combination with a balanced meal to help children stay active throughout the day.

The eCommerce industry in Pakistan usually refers to selling items via online shopping stores. Websites are designed to support a cart where customers can gather items they want to purchase and once done, they can head to the payment or check out page. Companies are turning towards using eCommerce in Pakistan because it has a good and prominent impact on the success of a business. Nowadays, most people look towards online shopping in Pakistan because it is convenient and solves many problems in day-to-day lives.

Why Online Shopping in Pakistan is Growing Fast

Businesses offer cash-based delivery services or what we usually refer to as “Cash on delivery”. Nonetheless, a business that is using this is witnessing a steady increase in revenue. However, it does come with a certain additional cost due to logistical reasons.

Why Are Businesses Adopting ECommerce

Social media plays a very important role in online marketing nowadays, and people are not just using social media for advertising, but also use it to set up their shops online. Facebook, for instance, allows you to do this. Businesses that use these methods are doing significantly better than those that are reluctant to adopt the new ways. Offering people a means to shop online makes the business accessible and famous quite quickly as well.

Latest Market Trends Online

Online customers in Pakistan frequently search for all kinds of items ranging from mobile devices to toys for children or even medical items. Automotive companies in Pakistan are also adopting the use of eCommerce website to make a purchase of their vehicles easier all over the country.

With the right online marketing strategies, a business becomes more prominent and rank on Google’s first page. This increases traffic to the website and in turn, increases the number of leads.

Some Popular Ecommerce Sites Used in Pakistan

It is very important to emphasize that the eCommerce website must be mobile friendly so that people can shop on the go. The easier we make online shopping in Pakistan, the better it is for businesses all over the nation.
