GloboTrends...
Global trend analysis serving investors, macro economists, and global business leaders. We write on global events, economics, finance and innovations that impact international business.
GloboTrends is a blog network & wiki set up to discuss the important global trends in economics, finance and innovation. Our goal is to create an online forum for discussion about global trends in macro economics, trade, finance, and innovation
GloboTrends are fundamental underlying trends, which means that they are important, but might not be obvious. Many trends are interconnected, and have global implications. Not paying attention to the development of global trends in can come back to haunt any business person, and so we have dedicated ourselves to summarizing these events in simple language, and we are trying to show how these events might be important to different regions, and to different industries.

Top Trends for 2009
Welcome to our ongoing discussion of global "macro" trends that we think are the most important to keep an eye on. Some trends we are watching in the GloboTrends wiki are currently ongoing right now (such as our coverage of the USA credit crisis ,deleveraging, margin calls, etc), and we will talk about how they happened, and predict their likely outcome.
Global financial crisis
What caused it to happen? When will it end? Please visit our wiki, and our forum to discuss.
"Great Deleveraging" of 2008-2009
In our opinion, this is the number one mega trend that will drive all others in 2009. As we shift from a credit-based financial system, to a cash-based one (well, less credit actually), there will be incredible adjustments needed to be made in corporate sectors around the globe
