The need for new investments in airports in Greece and the effort to attract private investors in 2015-2016
09/16/2015
Corfu and other airports generate money from landing fees but do not have access to the receipts for investing in modernization and improvements, as the money has been diverted to other purposes by the government. Experts say the remaining option is for the private sector to step in and make the necessary investments. The state would still retain some ownership and a share of profits.

HP formally splits into 2 businesses in November 2015- HP Enterprise in tech infrastructure and services, and HP Inc. in printers and PC's
09/15/2015
HP will separate printers and personal computers from the Enterprise infrastructure (servers, software) and enterprise tech services (cloud computing, data analystics, outsourcing software) in Nov. 2015. This will be done by consolidating the outsourcing part of the business in lower cost locations, cutting 30,000 jobs most of them in Enterprise services, in addition to the 16,000 cuts made in 2014. The purpose is to come up with a more focussed and nimble organization. HP Enterprise will look for opportunities in new business such as data analytics, cloud computing, where it faces competition from IBM and Amazon. HP Inc. will go into 3-D printing. Meg Whitman will be CEO of HP Enterprise and chairperson of HP Inc.

China's plan in September 2015 to reorganize its state owned enterprises in key sectors as state owned asset management firms with minority private investors and operating to maximize profits
09/14/2015
Energy, resources and telecom sectors will be taken up to create new entities that operate like private companies to maximize profits, hire managers at market rates, and take on private investors. The state will continue to maintain its ownership but require the companies to operate and compete similar to private firms. After intense discussion the Singapore model at Temasek is accepted upto a point, the senior management will still be appointed by the Chinese government. The current plan reflects the experience of Chinese president Xi Jinping in Zhejiang province and Shanghai where the private component in a state enterprise provided vigor to the enterprise. Movement is slow because of competing views within the Communist Party and Sasac, the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Germany's efforts in 2015 to come up with a fair distribution reflecting solidarity in the European Union for refugees
09/14/2015
40,000 migrants were expected in the weekend of September 12-13 alone in Germany. Germany was getting close to its limits in handling the rapid influx of migrants from the Austrian border. On Sept. 13 Germany reintroduced border controls which were lifted for Syrian refugees on Sept. 3 as a humanitarian gesture. The border controls were also a message to Europe, said Germany's Interior Minister, Mr. Maiziere, that the Schengen Agreement allowing passport free travel in the 26 EU countries itself was at stake.

The U.S. Federal Reserve's policy difficulty in raising interest rates in 2015-2016
09/14/2015
The sharply slowing economy in China in September 2015 acts to put the Fed on another of a series of pause situations as it plans to raise rates. The Fed'd interest rate policy has shifted to raise rates vey gradually making the rate increases small and over an extended period of time, so that this does not affect the recovery. Very low inflation with the steep decline in commodity prices, especially oil, is making it easier for the Fed to make this pause.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
