According to the current rate of progress , almost a billion people remain in extreme poverty by 2015, and today there are approximately 2.6 billion people in the world do not have access to formal financial services .

15% Of The World's Population Living Below The Poverty Line Although the world's production of food enough for all human beings average of 2720 calories per person per day , but there are 842 million people suffering from hunger every day !

Poverty

Says Dr. Magdy Badran , Ain Shams University , said that recent studies show that one out of every four children under five suffer stunted because of malnutrition ! ! There are also 2 million people lack the vitamins and minerals necessary for good health.

In celebrations of the world International Day of feed must be stressed that there is what is known as " hungry world ," a lack of adequate food for active and healthy life and during the twentieth century , died about 70 million people from starvation all over the world , especially in China and the Soviet Union , India and Africa.

There are currently nearly 1 billion people , or 15 % of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion live under the mantle of chronic hunger.

Dr. Magdy shows that the majority of people suffering from malnutrition live in developing countries , and more than 70 % of children who suffer from malnutrition live in Asia , 26 % in Africa and 4 % in Latin America and the Caribbean .

It is strange that in the United States is a rich country , there is a 13 % live within the confines of the permanent hunger and nearly 25% of American children there do not have any food in dinner , or about 17 million children .

This year will be pivotal for the Global Economy. For the first time since that push the switch to the machine in the UK to the path of industrialization in the nineteenth century, the emerging economies will produce the majority of goods and services in the world. The population of the rich developed economies representing long ago a large proportion of world output, but the proportion come from a small group of the world's population. They are now less important than the economic side of the group of people who live in the poor countries of the world and middle-income countries.

This shift in the balance of Global economic power deep, a shift that economists expect to continue. The International Monetary Fund expects to increase the share of the emerging economies of global output to 55 per cent by the year 2018, what makes the description of "emerging" misplaced increasingly.

Although the standards of living in developed countries remains five times higher, but the gap is rapidly narrowing since 1990. In countries where the income which goes hand in hand with the growth, the title now is catching. In addition to the half stake owned by the emerging countries of the world output, is expected to adopt three-quarters of economic growth on the big vitality during the next five years.

Jim O'Neill, who retired some time ago from the post of chief economist at Goldman Sachs, likes to use compared blatant expression of transformation. He says that the annual growth rate of 8 per cent in China now equivalent in importance a growth rate of 4 per cent in the United States Wall Street Exposed. This is a sharp contrast compared to 1980, when China was recorded faster growth rates even now, but it was like a relatively small fish. In 1980 the growth rate was 10 per cent less important than 1 per cent in the United States.

The long haul to prominence for the Group of Seven economies outside the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada is not a surprise. Growth was strongest in emerging countries for more than 30 years, and per capita levels were incurred in developed countries during the past 20 years.

This superior performance becomes a striking stronger when seen over a longer time frame. The monitoring of the McKinsey Global Institute shift in the center of gravity for the global economy to the world economy, noting that it was in the north of Iceland in the middle of the North Atlantic in 1950. And then, when Japan began to take off, taking in the spacing of the United States heading towards the east. He is now moving quickly toward the southeast, where moved during the past decade, a distance of more than on any other contract. By 2025 it will be close to Novosibirsk in southwest Siberia.

Says Richard Dobz, a member of the Board of Directors McKinsey: "development and economic transition of China towards the cities is happening at a greater rate one hundred times the size of the shift in Britain, the first country turns to the direction of urban and industrial, and ten times faster than almost, and thus the industrial revolution the Chinese possess momentum stronger a thousand times of the British Industrial Revolution. "

This shift in Global economic marched at specific stages during the past 30 years. In the mid-eighties, the big developed countries still dominate global growth. The United States accounted for almost one-third, and the European Union about 20 per cent, and the six countries of the Group of Seven in the list of top ten countries with the largest contribution to global growth (only France was off the menu). There was a common expression says if the United States sneezed, the rest of global economy will infect the cold.

These figures were calculated using data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is based on the purchasing power of the dollar for the local currency, and thus there was a similar weight equivalent to the rise in the amount of goods and services produced in different countries.

By the mid-nineties, the former giants of the Global economy out of the "Premier League". No longer Germany and Italy have conferred rank to be among the top ten countries in economic growth, and the importance of Japan fell by more than half. Existing and entered Mexico and Indonesia, a sign that the fact that a developing country and The high population density puts it on the road certainly lead to the ups and enter the adult league.

In the years prior to the 2008-2009 crisis, China has emerged to be so far the largest source of growth, and swept the charts to reach the fourth place against the backdrop of the rise in the production of goods and prices.

Britain was present in the list of the top ten countries, having enjoyed the same 30 years to catch up with the growth in the wake of recovery from being the sick man of Europe, but it looks on track to get out of the Premier League between 2012 and 2017. And will be a list of the top ten countries in terms of the country's share in global growth has completely moved out of Europe, are expected to form the entire European Union accounted for only 5.7 per cent of global growth. And will be India and China together almost half of global economic expansion.

This amounted to a shift in economic power limit makes any company concentrating its efforts in established economies, are actually living in the past.
Wall Street Exposed

Islamic banking assets grow more quickly than traditional banking asset growth is expected to reach Islamic assets to U.S. $1.1 trillion in 2012, marking a growth rate estimated at 33% for 2010.

As well as the presence of huge liquidity in Islamic banks began attracting attention top players in the market of global finance, especially when there are conditions pricing and commercial terms similar to those used in the conventional finance, and as a result we have seen in the past a lot of traditional financial institutions, which began showing interest in knowledge.

And we can also ignore a deficit of liquidity in U.S. and European markets after the global financial crisis in 2008 and the crisis of the euro zone and that led naturally to the pursuit of major financial institutions in the United States and Europe to look for financing alternatives sources and other regions in the world were not in the circle of interests Previously such as the Middle East and Northeast Asia.

On the other hand lies the importance of the initiative of Dubai in that it will help to stimulate this sector to meet the financing needs of the region due to the presence accelerated growth in the number of major projects in the field of services, industry and infrastructure in the Middle East due to the existence surpluses large oil or need some countries hit by unrest political rebuilding vital facilities that have been stalled as a result of the disturbances, so it is considered a historic opportunity for Islamic banks to provide innovative financing solutions and play a key role in the growth and development of the region.

Despite the region's need to finance major development projects, the challenge lies in the ability of Islamic banks to meet this need, in other words you have Islamic banks capital needed to finance the requirements of these major projects individually without you in financing arrangement "multi-source" involving conventional banks with Islamic finance?

This need and thirst by the global financial markets for liquidity and for Islamic finance in particular has made a lot of governments and central banks Bank, which was looking for Islamic finance glance of suspicion and doubt and inferiority to adopt amendments legal and regulatory to suit the Islamic finance and privacy.

It is noticeable legally that amendments regulators adopted by these central banks aims mainly to encourage the growth of this sector through the consolidation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment for the legal and regulatory between conventional finance and Islamic, and the difficulties faced by these central banks is the absence of a uniform is developing rules The provisions relating to this sector.

But there are some scattered efforts of some institutions in the harmonization of standards and rules of Islamic finance to help to understand how to structure products Islamic financing and legitimate framework and Alhokma for these products, and the institutions that should be mentioned here the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Financial Institutions and Islamic (AAOIFI) and Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB ).

But still need a lot of effort. Despite we need to global liquidity, but more important is the ability of Islamic finance to play a role in the restructuring of global financial centers in the post-financial crisis.

As the regulatory and supervisory financial sector has become consider to Islamic finance and rules strict model can be emulated in financial sector regulation and, for example, can take these rules to modify some frames and banking standards for conventional banks to avoid risks that have an impact on the economy as a whole is not limited impact in a particular sector or cutting only or the so-called systemic risk.

In practical terms, application mandatory standards Basel (3) bank will contribute to give Islamic finance a boost and quality globally, as these standards will raise the minimum ratio of capital reserve, knowing that Basel (3) gave a deadline for a very 2019 to be able to banks in the world in straighten their positions.

It is likely to cause the application of Basel II standards (3), which specializes capital adequacy and liquidity at banks to make trade finance traditional heavy price because of the requirement to increase banks' capital reserve has but Islamic banks Unlike traditional they always adhere to the requirements more stringent than Basel (3) With regard to capital.

Therefore it is unlikely that the additional costs that will affect the ability of those banks to compete in global trade finance. The demand for trade finance products reflect the reality of the desire of the world to adopt a new approach to funding helps create business processes of economic value and commercial real community and be far away from speculation rabid or buying and selling debt and called Securitization which rejects Islamic banks.

This has led buying and selling mortgage debt in the United States and the world to the collapse of many international banks hear and be guided it has become the model in funding burden on these countries, by contrast, the Islamic banks are based on the principle of mutual profit and loss, which helps the growth of the economy and business processes real and the emergence of an economy based on a genuine partnership between the bank and the merchant.

The outlook for the growth of Islamic finance for optimism and star will continue to rise, and the continuing financial crisis, will help the growth of this sector more and will create a real opportunity for Islamic finance to play a role regionally and globally.
