Political power shift

World divided since two decades:

A) Dynamically growing 5 - 10 % growth

B) Relatively static part 2 % growth

While the emerging and some

developing countries have an average annual growth of five to ten percent, the developed world achieved little more than two percent.

Developed industry countries take an ever-growing mountain of debt: their debts were before the credit crisis on average about 60% of annual economic output, now after the crisis the debt rate increased to 80% of GDP. The Emerging markets, however achieved their 5 - 10 % growth rates with only 30 to 40 percent debt.

The competition for raw materials has increased dramatically. One reason for this is, the economy of many developing countries has grown during the crisis. Developing countries with individual growth want to use important raw materials themselves. Western companies have more and more problems to buy rare earth metals.
