The raw material prices may become an additional threat to the nascent recovery in the advanced economies, the most damaged by this protracted crisis. Both the prices of industrial commodities such as food are experiencing the highs of recent years. The intensity of the demand for more dynamic emerging economies, China and India most notably, is one of the causes are probably more important, though by no means unique. Distortions in the functioning of the respective markets and speculation by traders specialized investment funds may also help clarify these recurrent tensions in prices.

Despite the economic downturn, remittance flows between the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Southeast Asian migration corridor have remained relatively strong and resilient-and, in some cases, have continued to grow. Part of the reason is attributable to the rebound in oil prices, which sustained economic growth, and hence employment, in the GCC region. But it has also been due to the active policies in both regions to harness the potential for migration to fuel development, and current efforts to expand them are seemingly headed in the right path.

From Bush’s TARP program to Obama’s stimulus bill to Bernanke’s “quantitative easing,” many leaders have attempted to spur the economy following the financial collapse of 2008. Yet, the U.S. economy has grown rather slowly and deflation seems to be more of a concern. So the question begs to be asked: Where is the bounce in the economy? Have all these stimuli gotten stuck?
