Global Financial Crisis

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to present you "Global Financial Crisis: The Economy Will Get Worse Before It Gets Better". This is a sequel to the previous one, "Subprime Crisis", I presented last December at Khmer Seminar.

The purpose of this presentation is three-fold:

1. To illustrate global financial crisis and its impact on real economy;
2. To investigate different approaches to the crisis; and
   
3. To show the needs of establishment of Phnom Penh Stock Exchange (PPSE).
   

Get access to both presentation slides at:

• Global Financial Crisis: The Economy Will Get Worse Before It Gets Better
• Subprime Crisis: Why It Happened And What To Do About It (Prequel to Global Financial Crisis)

The economy will get worse before it gets better, it is absolutely true. However, past cannot be changed, fortunately future can be changed. As long as we are together, we can break the mold, make a difference. Therefore, we must define, not be defined by, the global financial crisis.

Sincerely Yours,

"Everybody, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, that you paid attention to my presentation, challenged me, and criticized me (for development) . I really have learned a lot from yesterday session. I say SUCCESS, it is a ROSE, and I am just a SEED. You are the SUN, the WATER, the EARTH, the EVERYTHING that let me grow up. The FLOWER will bloom in the near future and its beauty will last forever for mankind as a whole."
