E-commerce et Développement
La conjugaison de la mondialisation des marchés et de la révolution des TIC a crée la nouvelle économie. Le E-commerce est l’un des exemples les plus concrets, dans la manière dont et les technologies de l’information et de la communication peuvent contribuer au développement. Il aide les pays à mieux développer les échanges et de faciliter leur intégration dans la mondialisation des économies. Il permet surtout aux entreprises et entrepreneurs d’être plus compétitifs et favorise l’emploi et la croissance. Hier confronté au défi de la production de masse, puis à celui du juste à temps en matière de distribution et de gestion des stocks, les entreprises modernes doivent aujourd'hui plus que jamais acquérir le réflexe de la gestion stratégique des flux d'information.

NEW HOPE FOR NIGERIA ?
On a visit to Nigeria eight years ago, Felix Ekundayo spotted what he thought was the perfect business opportunity. Ekundayo knew sub-Saharan Africa's biggest oil fields lay in the vast southern swamps of the Niger Delta. As an engineer, he was also aware oil drills suck up natural gas with crude. But instead of capturing gas, Nigeria was flaring it, burning $2.5 billion a year. The pollution was turning a natural paradise for birds, insects and fish into a vast, lifeless black lake. Tap the gas and pipe it to gas-fired power stations, Ekundayo estimated, and Nigeria could generate enough power for the whole country, with exports to spare. An end to flaring — actually illegal since 1984 — would also reduce pollution, perhaps appeasing a rising tide of popular anger in the Delta.

MONEY LAUNDERING : Funds in the Sun
"When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight," quipped the English essayist Samuel Johnson, "it concentrates his mind wonderfully." For Liechtenstein, a postage stamp-sized "offshore" banking haven snuggled in the landlocked mountains on Switzerland's eastern border, it must have seemed such a moment last month, when the world's richest nations placed the principality on a blacklist of countries that have failed to cooperate on money laundering. Banking and related services account for 40% of Liechtenstein's economy and the prospect of financial sanctions promised a bleak future. "It was a real crisis for us," recalls Gerhard Mislik, one of the country's senior judges. "We are only a small country."

FATF Warns Netherlands Is ‘Susceptible’ To Money Laundering
The Netherlands is susceptible to money laundering because of its large financial center, openness to trade and the size of criminal proceeds, the Financial Action Task Force, or FATF, said in its latest report.
The report, dated Feb. 25 and released Wednesday, found that most criminal proceeds in the Netherlands come from fraud and illicit narcotics, and that it equals about $14 billion per year–or 1.8% of the country’s gross domestic product.
