Are We Winning the War, but Losing the Peace?
(Dr. Mohamed El-Erian) Back in 2008, the world teetered on the edge of an international financial crisis initially sparked by banks’ excessive risk-taking and the bursting of the U.S. housing bubble. What resulted was the worst global recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Thirteen years later, with global economic upheaval once again dominating the headlines, business leaders and politicians can learn from both the success and shortfalls of the past. That’s the message of Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, President of Queens’ College, Cambridge, and advisor to international financial services provider Allianz, as well as investment manager Gramercy. |

HAS IRAQ REACHED AN INFLECTION POINT?
It has been a good month for the Republic of Iraq. The historic March 5 – 8 visit by H.H. Pope Francis – the first-ever papal visit to Iraq – highlighted coexistence and mutual respect among religious communities. In another first, a new American University (AUIB) has just opened its doors in Baghdad, with its President stating, “AUIB will have a transformative impact on Iraq and the Middle East by distinguishing itself as an exceptional and diverse learning community.” And the price of oil – a commodity on which Iraq depends heavily – has risen nearly 40 percent this year, with Brent crude topping $70 per barrel this past week.
It is still too early to say whether Iraq has turned a corner, but there is reason for optimism. |
