APEC finance chiefs see 'downside risks' to global economy

“2014 could turn out to be a disappointing year for the global economy,” she said.

Hmmm with 2 & 1/2 months left this year I cannot see it being too disappointing, it has already far surpassed the previous 7 years as afar as the economy is concerned, unless there is a major event in the next 10 weeks 2014 will remain to be the best year in at least the last 7.

Some small hurdles to get over before xmas but we should be ok.

I often wonder what real world experience some of these people have, they often leave school, go to university get a govt related job, and suck of the state breast for their whole lifetime, never actually doing, knowing or understanding very much and gaining no real world experience, just toeing the party line and spreading the govt propaganda.

They then sometimes get a high paying job with some big business to make sure that that business has govt links.
