Global - Analysis - The Financial Crisis and Economic Stimulus Packages

Synopsis

Archived report. This report was archived in 2009 and has not been updated. While there is yet no end in sight of the financial crisis, by early 2009 most governments had put in place economic stimulus package in trying to soften the blow as much as possible. Many of these packages include new infrastructure investments in telecoms. These projects are seen as a key element in many of these new initiatives. However, further structural changes are needed to the market in order to maximise these investments. After an introduction this report provides an overview of the activities around the globe.
