  • Governance Without Malice Or Victimisation
    March 20th 2020 Excerpts from the 2020 Budget Address PRYME and Grenadines Development Introduction Budget 2020 introduces a special, youth-focussed initiative that merits discussion today. That initiative, called the Promotion of Youth Microenterprises (PRYME) programme, seeks to put $2 million in grant funds in the hands of young businesspersons in 2020. Youth-run microenterprises face a number of challenges to growth, including capital constraints, inadequate skills, and insufficient discipline. The PRYME programme will complement existing entrepreneurial-support initiatives by identifying promising microenterprises and start-ups that could benefit from appropriate injections of financial or managerial capital. The PRYME programme will employ a seed capital grant strategy to facilitate its clients’ movement toward empowerment and greater economic self-reliance. By and large, PRYME clients would not be able to risk taking a loan because they have no spare income to make payments if their enterprises do not generate an immediate profit. A PRYME grant, in contrast to credit, exposes clients to much less risk and allows them to grow a business without immediate loan servicing pressures. However, a PRYME grant is not an unconditional giveaway. Clients will have to meet various preconditions or on-going reporting obligations, based on the type of business and size of grant. At a minimum, all clients will have to successfully complete basic training in bookkeeping and sound financial management. Recipients of larger grants will have to complete an approved business plan, allow for scrutiny of their accounts by PRYME officials, and have their grants awarded in stages, with later stages contingent upon the achievement of agreed prior actions and targets.

  • Dual-Hub Connectivity: a Case Study on China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai Huijuan Yang* and Weiwei Liu
    Yang and Liu European Transport Research Review (2019) 11:25 European Transport https://doi.org/10.1186/s12544-019-0364-6 Research Review ORIGINAL PAPER Open Access Dual-hub connectivity: a case study on China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai Huijuan Yang* and Weiwei Liu Abstract To deal with slot constraints and insufficient capacity, emerging multi-airport systems have been under construction in China. This paper chose China Eastern Airlines as a case study, evaluating its hub connectivity under a dual-hub circumstance in Shanghai. The paper detected that the biggest constraint of China Eastern Airlines’ dual-hub situation lied in Shanghai’s location and the restricted transfer options on international routes. Contributions from alliance partners were assessed and benchmarked with China Eastern Airlines. With China Southern Airlines quit SkyTeam alliance, China Eastern Airlines faced more challenges on the domestic market. The empirical study also pointed out the shortcoming of operating at two hubs in the same catchment area, where the quality of connectivity of inter-hub connections cannot be maintained as high as a single-hub transfer. However, the market potential of inter-hub connections in Shanghai was identified with a considerable amount of viable connections. Keywords: Hub connectivity, Dual-hub operation, China Eastern Airlines 1 Introduction Multi-airport system largely expands the catchment area Airports have experienced pressures on operational cap- and capacity in the region. It provides better accessibility acity and congestion due to the worldwide effects of explo- for passengers, and attracts and generates more traffic for sive passenger growth, particularly in high-growth regions airlines and airports.
