  • Quarterly Financial Markets Report
    Quarterly Financial Markets Report Second Quarter 2016 Global Economic Highlights Highlighted by UK’s vote to leave the EU, weak demand, high unemployment levels, financial frailties and geopolitical risks, the global economic environment continued to be plagued by weakened growth prospects in the last three months. The late June U.K. referendum to leave the European Union sent shock waves across the globe, leaving global financial markets in turmoil. The equity markets fell sharply and the British Pound plunged 8.4% and 12.5% against the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen, respectively. The value of the British Pound against the US Dollar was at its lowest in the past 31 years. Reassurance on support from the central bank saw the economy enjoying some reprieve as the financial markets rebounded partially in fragments. With manufacturing growth stalling over the past year and construction figures weakening markedly in June, U.K. growth continued to be driven primarily by the services sector. The rate of Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) remained low at around 0.3% partly due to relatively subdued global demand growth. Both Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch on the back of the foregoing downgraded U.K’s credit ratings. With a lift from the European Central Bank’s stimulus cut, low energy prices and a rebound in consumer spending, figures from the 19-nation bloc were impressive before the Brexit, with GDP rising by 0.6% in Q1 2016 despite a backdrop of the global market turmoil at the start of the year. However, questions about the EU’s stability and the potential for an economic downturn after Britain’s surprise exit from the EU dominated the centre stage in the Eurozone at the end of the second quarter.

  • Cocoa in West Africa Report
    the Cocoa Industry in West Africa A history of exploitation Anti-Slavery International 2004 Anti-Slavery International The Cocoa Industry in West Africa: A history of exploitation The Cocoa Industry in West Africa: A history of exploitation Introduction When extensive child and slave labour was found on the cocoa farms of Côte d’Ivoire in late 2000, many British consumers were shocked. Chocolate companies, cocoa suppliers, and retailers searched for a way to address this serious problem. The way forward was unclear. The immediate reaction of some consumers was a decision to stop eating chocolate altogether or to call for a boycott of exports from Côte d’Ivoire. Yet it quickly became clear that a boycott might have disastrous results for both cocoa workers and Côte d’Ivoire as a whole. What was needed was more in-depth information of the conditions and extent of enslaved labour, of how cocoa from West Africa reaches the consumer, of what would be appropriate and reasoned responses to the problem. In answer to this need and to provide information on the industry reaction and actions since, Anti-Slavery International has prepared this document – an in-depth analysis of how cocoa is produced and how child and slave labour enter its chain of production. It relates the history of cocoa and explores how this commodity fits within a global market. It also explains the events following the ‘discovery’ of slavery in cocoa farming, what actions have been and are being taken to remove slavery from the chocolate we eat. Drawing on a wide range of sources, it concludes with recommendations for consumers, the chocolate industry and governments on actions needed to address this serious problem.

  • Can the Performance of State-Owned Enterprises Improve When Privatized? a Case Study of Ghanaian Based Firms
    Blekinge Institute of Technology School of Management Can the Performance of State-Owned Enterprises improve when privatized? A Case study of Ghanaian based firms Master’s Thesis in Business Administration, MBA programme Author Charles Arthur Ntiri Supervisor Dr. Jan Svanberg December, 2010 1 Abstract After almost two decades that privatization took place in Africa, especially in Ghana, there is not much empirical knowledge concerning the financial and operating performance of privatized firms. This study is designed to compare the financial and operating performance of pre and post privatization process in Ghana. The indicators examined are profitability, operating efficiency, output, capital investment, employment, leverage and dividend. Since the sample size is small the researcher used Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to test for the significant of the difference between pre and post privatization performance indicators. The study measures the change in the performance indicators by comparing its average value for five years before and five years after privatization. There is no convincing evidence that suggest significant change in financial and operating performance after privatization. 2 Acknowledgements I am grateful to God Almighty for His mercy and grace through this thesis. I am heartily thankful to my supervisor, Dr. Jan Svanberg, whose encouragement, guidance and support from the initial to the final level of this dissertation. I offer my regards and God‟s blessings to all who contributed directly or indirectly in the preparation of this master‟s dissertation. Finally, I ask God‟s blessings to all my family members especially my wife Diana Arthur Ntiri (Mrs) for her support through this thesis.
