employed european plenty
There is a very strong linkage between U.S. banks and European banks. There are plenty of European employees that are employed by U.S. companies, and there are plenty of U.S. employees that are employed by European companies.
accord caused chinese europeans financial french pragmatic shows solve
This accord shows the Europeans and the Chinese authorities know how to be pragmatic to solve the blockages which would have caused financial difficulties for French firms this year,
ability achieved agreement four given last reach skeptical
I'm very skeptical as to the ability to reach a comprehensive agreement given how little has been achieved in the last four months.
best chinese draft economists good guess highly hired number percent reason women
In the 2013 Economists Program, we hired 51 percent women, 49 percent men. And the reason for that is that we have a draft from all over the world, and we've hired, for instance, in that group, a good number of Chinese economists - highly qualified, all Ph.D.s from the best universities of the world. And guess what? They're all women.
negotiation
Before a negotiation can proceed and be completed, what is outside the scope of negotiation needs to be agreed.
helping-others thinking people
When you think of a safe and solid arbitration place, you think of Switzerland, Sweden, Canada. Those attributes may be associated with clichés, but I think they resonate with a lot of people and they are a solid base for Canada to co-operate and help others.
people support environmental
Canada stands out as making a sensible and positive contribution to the world. I'm saying that maybe because of its inclination toward multilateralism. Support for the environmental protection cause. It's relationship between people and nature.
good-work
We need to put our good research, our good work, our principles into actionable items whenever we can.
country people economy
We cannot just look at a country by looking at charts, graphs, and modelling the economy. Behind the numbers there are people.
prosperity economic egyptian
The Egyptian society needs to include its women if it wants to have economic prosperity.
taken people chinese
We draw many benefits from globalization that people take for granted. Poverty has been reduced massively around the world. If you look at the Chinese numbers, it is quite mind-boggling: 700 million people taken out of poverty in a matter of 40 years, the poverty rate having moved from over 30 per cent from hardly six per cent now. That would not have happened if there had not been globalization.
people training losing
Those negatively affected by globalization, those who are losing their jobs, and losing their skills, people out of training, must be looked after. Governments must establish policies, and governments and companies must actually address that issue, so that those who lose out from globalization can be retrained, recycled, re-established, cared for.
people kind granted
People can buy the kind of things they consider as normal and take for granted because of globalization and trade and use of supply chains and the reduction of the cost base of the manufacturing of some products.
globalization
Consumption has massively benefited from globalization.
