TODAYS ECONOMIC SITUATION

Today's economic situation creates ideal opportunities for angel investors and
venture capitalists. It was reported that the world's economy today may appear to
be improving statistically but many believe that the global economic conditions
are only getting worse. When a high intensity earthquake and ensuing tsunami
devastated Japan last Friday March 11, 2011, the world was shocked and in
great turmoil.
Japan, as one of the richest countries of the world is currently suffering from
nuclear crisis that may influence the global economy, and may affect the health
condition of the nation and its neighboring countries. It was the worst earthquake
experience that this country ever had, and the worst calamity that ever happened
to this country. Japan gets more than a quarter of their power from nuclear
energy. The country has several nuclear reactors and became the third largest
nuclear power user in the world providing 34.5% of its electricity. So many
countries depend on nuclear power. But what happened in Japan recently made
safety officials seek desperately on how to avert catastrophe because this
nuclear meltdown is enough to impact human health.
Prior to the catastrophic event in Japan, several countries experience tragic
situations as the strong forces of nature hit these countries while some
experience chaos and wasted so many lives due to civil wars because of political
ill-power or political dynasty. Following are just few of the major disasters
encountered by some countries today, creating a humongous effect in their
economies.
A strong earthquake wreaked havoc in New Zealand last month and killed
so many people while hundreds are still missing and left damages that
caused billions of dollars.
The wettest season ever in Australia happened earlier this year where one
of its biggest cities and some towns were ravaged by heavy floods, killed
few people but affecting thousands of families and establishments that cost
billions of dollars in its damages.
In south-eastern Brazil as well, they experienced the worst natural disaster
after several decades. More than 500 people were known to have died in
heavy floods and damaged a huge amount of money in their properties.
Egypt encountered its first real international crisis and the biggest disaster
since the Iranian revolution that happened three decades ago, pushing the
Egyptian regime out of power. This also caused several civilian lives and
affected a lot of foreign workers in the country.
The people power started by the Egyptians subsequently brought
tumultuous revolutions by Libyan and Bahraini people, still with the aim of
pushing their leaders out of power due to political dynasty or regime.
These countries are major producers of oil and employed thousands of
foreign workers but they were vastly affected because they have to be sent
back to their own countries.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are afraid to be the next middle-eastern countries
to have possible signs of hostilities. According to some economists, if this
would ever happen this could be the worst catastrophe that would
eminently disturb the global economy.
To raise venture capital is one of the solutions to economic recovery today. Angel
investor networks are very positive of seeing their money grow by investing in
start-up businesses with potential, or in some business establishments that are
still in the recovery phase after the catastrophe. Those who have good business
line of credits are very much capable of acquiring these unsecured business
loans quickly. Entrepreneurs and investors can easily connect with each other no
matter which part of the world they are because of the advancement of
technology.
