    • Global commerce to grow by 4.7% (it averaged 2.2% the last 2 years)
    • Recovery in rich economies will reduce risks in developing economies.
    • While Asia’s growth rates are spurging, china’s expansion is slowing.
    • Risks have been mitigated in, Europe aided by the easing of eurozone risks, US because of easing of brinkmanship over budget limits and tax policy between the Obama administrations and Republicans.
    • Concerns in developing countries include, large current account deficits in India and Turkey, currency crises in Argentina, over investment in productive capacity, and re-balancing economies to reduce their dependence of exports and rely more on domestic consumption.
