Financial analysis is a very crucial activity in finance decision making. It can help companies to identify where they should place their financial resources, what are the opportunities that can be tapped and what are the scenarios that a company needs to avoid. However, not all has the luxury of time to conduct their own in-depth research about what is going on right now in the economy. This is where financial analysts come in.
The year that was – 2014 and the Global Economy
The world saw a lot of twists and turns in the past year. While most of the world suffered setbacks during the first quarter of 2014, economies around the world had different paths for the remainder of 2014. Major economies such as the US, Canada, Australia, Japan Russia and advanced European Countries are still suffering from slow economic recovery with growth rates at 0-4%. However Africa, China, and the Asia Pacific region is still showing strong growth with rates at 5% or higher. In addition to these conditions, the recent drop in oil prices during the last quarter of 2014, among other things (such as the ASEAN 2015 Integration, Greece Elections, UK Referendum, Ukrainian Crisis, etc.) could turn things around once again.
