The economic impact of events in Egypt on global stock markets and oil prices in 2011
01/30/2011
With 2.9 million barrels a day of oil passing through the Suez Canal and the Sumed pipeline, and only 2.5 million barrels a day of global spare capacity, the 3% of oil moving through Egypt does impact oil prices. The demands for democracy and free expression also have an impact across the region in other Arab and African countries, and in China which also has six decades of one-party rule.

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.
