When you think about how quick news travels and how the world is getting smaller and smaller with the power of the internet, we at the Chamber have been thinking about the disasters, economic outlook we have all seen with our own eyes via the mass media and the incredible speed that information moves via the Internet and in the main its all doom and gloom!

Here is my positive news for this coming winter and into 2012:- IQ scores are rising all around the world. A modern car emits 95 per cent less carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons than it did in the Seventies. Inequality is falling as poor countries such as India, Brazil and Botswana get rich faster than rich countries such as Britain, America and Japan. 

So let’s put some other things in perspective with regard to the economy, because if you own a business, that is probably the most pressing issue on a weekday morning!

Today’s businesses are in pretty good shape. They are embracing the fact that good marketing is paramount to their business and the internet is the key to that growth. Emerging markets are also thriving with economises such as Brazil, India and China are growing at 6% annually and buying goods and services from the West. They are buying weapons’, pharmaceuticals, hi-tech electrical goods and services such as architectural knowledge, accountancy and logistical know how!

I have always been of the opinion that it is not Governments that improve the economy, stimulate growth, innovate and invent....It’s us that does that! The people of this great nation!At the South East London Chamber of Commerce we are constantly helping businesses grow, can we help you?
