Understanding Financial Crises And Global Capital Flows!

During the recent economic downturn that paralyzed business, financial institutions, both national and international emerged as saviors.Though the imminent scare seemed to have ebbed, there are enough warning signs to worry about a sequel of the monster.

What one needs to understand from this particular situation is the need to differentiate between short term and long term capital inflows.Whereas short-term capital inflows can be lucrative, they can also be terribly unstable and dangerous.They cause the most damage.They are totally based on assumptions, which are not exactly the right way to go about things especially in matters of finance.Naturally, when things go wrong it goes wrong big time and you can have everything folding up before you even know it.The hot money is just gravy and can be used as just a support to drive the deals, but shouldn't be projected as the top priority.

When the bubble bursts everybody points fingers at everybody.If you analyze things it is quite evident who or rather what is to blame.The lax attitude of the governments over the organizations that show almost no transparency; their attitude of going out of the way to protect them, choosing favorites, the companies, which do not adhere to any corporate governance form.These are the main reasons when any financial bubble bursts.

The financial institutions too can do better.Most of them are politically aligned and they have their own in house troubles.If they are busy fighting their own demons then how would they help in solving the problem of financial crises is anybody's guess.The international financial institutions should understand that the countries who come to them for money are not nuisance causing pests.It is this very attitude that throws the economy of the smaller nations into a toss.When you treat a person who comes for help as just a borrower and a constant disturbance then how would you think of rehabilitating that person?

Instead, if the international financial institutions think of them as clients then there would bring a sea change in their growth.All that needs to change is the attitude and nothing more.The good news is that this is already happening and that deems good for the future.

There are market oriented and interventionist solutions to the financial crisis problems.They are not quick fix and cannot be used in isolation.There has to be a combination of both of them to solve the problems.One of these solutions involves getting the domestic and international financial institutions into the fray and in order to solve the financial problems.

There are two converging views and ideas of market oriented and interventionist solutions.The market-oriented one is called the free markets, which broadly gets the financial institutions national and international beneath its umbrella and tries to solve problems.While the latter, the interventionist method thinks of free markets itself as the problem.Completely two different view points.

The approach of these two has their advantages and they should be judiciously used at a time of crisis.The lax approach of the governments around the world when the financial bubble burst was bared naked.It is also true that all the people involved were clueless about what was happening around them.

It is quite clear from the whole episode that there are no shortcuts or quick fixes.There are no magic wands that wish away the crises in the financial markets.Relaxed attitude when dealing with financial markets is something that brings the downfall.Instead, everyone involved should try all the options that are available and do not stop until there is a clear solution in sight.

How To Thrive In The Current Recession!

The King Is Dead Long Live The King!!

Yes, the King is dead.

We all know who the King was, the King in Ireland, and pretty much the whole western world for the last twenty or maybe fifty years has been property plain and simple.

For as long as I can remember the rationale was, if you're in property you're doing well, and if you've been in property long you're doing very well.Like many of you I've been there, enjoyed it and didn't get out.

So, why am I writing this article then?

Simply, because I realised that I needed another string to my bow.You see the King is dead, but what happens when a King dies is that he is very rapidly replaced by someone else who assumes all his powers, and becomes known in turn as the King.

And Man is the New King powerful.

The thing about the Old King, that being the property game was that too much of the wealth was held in property assets, known as your equity.You know, you had a property that was worth 200,000 euros with a mortgage of 100,000 euros, so theory was you had 100,000 of equity.

And the only way to turn that into cash was to sell it, and who in their right mind wanted to do that?Pay taxes, lose control of an appreciating asset, lose the future potential of that piece of property (who knew where the next shopping centre or dual carriageway
was going to go) etc, etc

The flipside was that there was no money in the day to day running of that same business unless you sold it, because due to superinflated property prices (unless you bought 20+ years ago), the rents and yields relative to debt (after expenses), required to purchase by and large were terrible.

So all too frequently, paper property millionaires were broke.

Hindsight is both a wonderful and a truly useless habit that we indulge in, but it can benefit us if we choose to learn the lessons.

For me one of the most obvious lessons from the property implosion has been that Cash is King, and that if you don't have a business with strong cashflows, (forget about equity) you don't really have a business, more of an obligation.

Enter the New King.The funny thing is the New King has been on the scene for a while.

The good news is that for those who showed the initiative to set up their own property business, who researched and viewed properties, read on their subject, attended courses, advertised their properties, negotiated with tenants, estate agents, vendors, tradesmen and women, managed cashflow and a whole host of other responsibilities is that the experience will stand to you for the rest of your life, and that these skills are transferable to whatever else you choose to take on.

The seeds of entrepreneurialism have been sown, and although the property tide has went out, you can and will be able to apply these skills to the new opportunities that are on the horizon.

To summarise, may I suggest that what you should be looking for now is a cash business that doesn't require significant debt and represents the potential for significant expansion.Some of you will know where I'm going with this.

The key is low overheads and a bigger market.If you're selling luxury Rolex watches, and you're in a town that's in the midst of a localised economic downturn, then the obvious answer would be to get out of that town, and go somewhere that isn't experiencing an economic depression.

Well, what if we said "You know what, you don't even have to move.But, what you do need to do is learn a new skill", and herein lies the key to ending the economic recession here in Ireland.

By learning how to take your business to the largest marketplace in the world, and figuring out how to sell your wares there, you can virtually recession proof your business, and rapidly accelerate your profits.And that's it, the New King is the vast economic potential of the Internet, the World Wide Web.

And believe it or not, this technology is in its absolute infancy.Think car phones that look like breeze blocks, and you're still not even close.
