Global Vision: informing decision makers world-wide

February / March 2009

Dear Readers, 2009 is certainly not proving to be quiet. World financial markets have slid further from their already substantial low points and experts are gravitating towards a view that the global recession is more likely to continue through 2009 rather than dissipate in mid-2009. This issue of GlobalVision seeks to provide some moral support to our readers and uplifting articles. The inauguration of President Obama in the United States was an event of global importance, as the new administration battles economic and security crises with implications for us all. Our Globalvision Africa supplement profiles a businessman and entrepreneur George Forrest whose business empire in the Democratic Republic of Congo not only exists to make profit but also provides healthcare, homes, and education for large numbers of people across the country. Other stories cover the changing nature of Sierra Leone, the World Business Forum conference in New York and a variety of lifestyle places to explore.
