I
am not a pessimist. I have actually no personal reason to be one. But as I look
into the year that is about to start I get worried. There are a number of major
geopolitical risks in the air. And the world economy is also closer to a new
serious slowdown. In addition, in our part of the world people see their
standard of living being threatened by new austerity measures, more taxes and
poor availability of job opportunities. There is also a growing nationalistic
sentiment in different corners of old Europe.
These
are times of great challenges. They require courageous leaders. And we seem to
be short of them as well. That´s what worries me most.
