Report Excerpt
|
|
At the beginning of 2012, global financial markets
remain unsteady, with European currency still under attack. Although there
are signs that the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression of
the 1930s will continue to drive investment decisions in the near term, the
worst of the turmoil may soon be behind us. The sharp drop in credit
markets worldwide was directly tied to problems in the US mortgage industry,
which ground to a halt during 2008. Because US business and private
investors got too complacent about risk, the amount of mortgages that were
sold by banks to investment banks and then sold as US mortgage-related
securities to investors grew from approximately $67 billion in 1996 to $773
billion in 2006. This is one of the key reasons that set off the lending
crisis and created serious concern about the health of the global economy.
Another precipitating factor in the credit squeeze was the legalization of
credit default swaps in 2000 which allowed investors to “bet” that the
mortgage market would fail.
In October of 2008, it was necessary for the Federal
government to introduce a $700 billion bailout plan for the economy so that
things would not worsen, and other governments followed suit with their own
plans to spur lending. The use of deficit spending and other “pump priming”
measures probably had a salutary effect and averted a global Depression on
the order to the 1930s, but the world economic system at the beginning of
2012 continues to exhibit considerable signs of stress.
Even amidst so much economic
uncertainty, the fact remains that telecommunications is a key input factor
in economic growth. Telecommunications is a facilitator of socio-economic
advancement and is a critical utility for economic development, much like
water and energy. This fact is reflected in its growing share of world
output and of household spending. By Insight’s analysis, global
telecommunications spending as share of global GDP has risen.........
