Jupiter, Fla. (PRWEB) June 29, 2008

Jack Crooks discusses what emerging markets are doing to fight inflation rates. Mr. Crooks takes a closer look at the sharp contrast between the Federal Reserve and central banks in these key emerging markets.

The U.S. isn’t the only place that has inflation problems. Year over year consumer prices in Vietnam just surged by 26.8%. The month over month numbers jumped 2.1% or what the Federal Reserve would consider a comfortable pace for inflation in the U.S. over the course of an entire year. The biggest problem facing the Vietnamese government in Hanoi is determining how to keep rising food and energy prices from derailing their economy.

According to Crooks’ research, there are over 50 different countries around the world that are currently battling double-digit rates of inflation. Like Vietnam, most of these countries are emerging markets. And all of them are at risk of going from appealing growth story to economic disappointment at the merciless hand of inflation.

Crooks is a firm believer that to project the future with any degree of accuracy, you must first look to the past. It can safely be said that current global inflation can be accredited to the surging price of crude oil. And the rising price of food is also partially responsible. These oil-led price shocks are nothing new. Indeed, they have become an consistent precursor to recession, at least in the U.S.

Below is an excerpt taken from a report over at Morgan Stanley’s Global Economic Forum:

“While much of the rise in oil and energy prices could be attributed to global demand for these products, from the perspectives of individual countries, oil and food price increases are supply shocks. Early work on the relationship on oil prices and developed market GDP suggests oil shocks were the dominant determinants of U.S. recessions.

For example, Professor James Hamilton (see Hamilton (1983) ‘Oil and the Macroeconomy since World War II’, Journal of Political Economy, vol. 91, (April), pp. 228-48) claimed that, since 1973, every upward spike in real oil prices has been followed by a surge in the U.S. output gap. More specifically, Professor Hamilton demonstrated that an oil price shock had preceded (Granger-caused) all but one recession (in 1960) in the U.S. since WWII.”

The U.S. economy, even with a fairly flexible and developed financial system, has had trouble with periods of sharply rising oil prices. Should anything different be expected from emerging economies whose capital markets aren’t nearly as forgiving as those in the U.S.?

The fact that a larger portion of consumers’ expenditures in emerging economies goes toward food and energy makes this type of inflation the most dangerous. And tougher for officials to balance, Crooks adds.

After witnessing how the Federal Reserve has shredded the value of the U.S. dollar and slammed stocks by ignoring inflation, emerging market central banks are stepping up to the plate:

China is already making strides with its currency. Interest rate increases highlight their efforts. India’s central bank raised its benchmark rate by 50 basis points, to 8.5 percent with immediate effect, its highest since March 2002 and the second increase in June. The State Bank of Vietnam sharply raised its benchmark interest rate to 12 percent from 8.75 percent, in an aggressive effort to curb surging inflation and tighten lending. Commercial banks are now allowed to offer depositors rates of up to 18 percent. Mexico’s peso strengthened to a five-year high after the central bank unexpectedly raised its benchmark interest rate a quarter percentage point to 7.75 percent. The same thing happened in Brazil. Bonds also rose as investors gained confidence that proactive monetary policy will manage to curb inflation, helping preserve the value of debt’s fixed payments.

“Monetary policy has been too accommodative and must respond to the growing inflationary environment. The rising level of prices is going to require that most emerging market central banks take action. By working to strengthen the value of their currency they can hope to ease the strain of crude and food costs. The line in the sand is quite fine. That’s going to make it easy to scrutinize the efforts, or lack thereof, central banks take to counter inflation,” Crooks states.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 16, 2006

To assist The American Legacy Foundation? in its mission to build a world where young people reject tobacco and anyone can quit, FlickerLab, created an animated spokes-leaf, star of two :45 spots, “American Leaf” and “Be My Friend,” which began airing nationally on Comedy Central, September 9th .

Led by Founder/Creative Director Harold Moss, the New York-based development, design and animation studio developed a faux ?tobacco industry mascot,? in the animation style of a 50?s commercial. ?The spokes-leaf?s voice is ragged ? he?s smoked too many cigarettes – and he is jaded, worn out and used up by a lifetime of pumping for big tobacco,? explained Moss. “This job had it all – great clients at Comedy Central and The American Legacy foundation, fun scripts, and best of all, the aim of the spots was to give the tobacco industry a nice kick in the pants. I lost my dad and an aunt to smoking, and have wrestled with quitting myself since I was a kid, so that was a kick I helped land with real satisfaction. We do all sorts of commercial work at FlickerLab and always have fun with it. But being able to make spots that use our humor and animation chops to have an impact, well that speaks to the whole reason FlickerLab came about in the first place. We were grateful for the chance to work on the campaign.”

Comedy Central Senior Writer/Producer Lesley Keene said of the collaboration, ?FlickerLab was the obvious choice for this project. Not just because they?re extremely talented, creative and flexible, but also because when it comes to smart-ass anthropomorphic talking tobacco products, they really know what they?re doing.?

The FlickerLab team included Creative Director/Director Harold Moss; Executive Producer Karen Stewart; Senior Producer Melissa Johnson; Animation Directors Phil Lockerby and Nikolay Nachev; Technical Director Franklin Zitter; Designers Max Porter, Scott Gursky, Brian Cox, Phil Lockerby, Nick Bertonazzi and Zartosht Soltani; 2D Animators Phil Lockerby, Nikolay Nachev, Nick Bertonazzi and Claire Samuels; Composite Artist Eric Merola and Sound Designer/Mixer Tom Lino.

FlickerLab utilized Adobe Flash, Photoshop and After Effects, and Apple Final Cut Pro in the execution of this project.

Representing Comedy Central (New York, NY) were Bob Pederson, Vice President-On Air; Darry Logan, Writer/Editorial Director; and Senior Writer/ Producer Lesley Keene.

Chris Philips provided the voiceover for the spots.

About FlickerLab:

Founded in 1999 as a design and animation studio, today FlickerLab?s principals, long-term collaborators and strategic partners employ their skills, technology and industry experience on a variety of projects be they concept-to-screen development and production, design and execution of commercials or broadcast promotions. In addition to high quality creative digital content development, FlickerLab works with clients to extend their project reach through advertising, Internet impact, online marketing, and merchandising.
