After enjoying an unprecedented boom, the global economy is on a downturn. The crisis in the housing and credit markets has expanded to other segments of the financial markets in United States and the consequent ripple effect is now being felt across the globe. Decelerating growth, shrinking consumption and declining volumes of lending by the banks have been further exacerbated by the high prices of commodities. The credit crunch, as one of its offshoots, is squeezing entrepreneurial businesses and medium-term prospects appear to be mediocre, fraught with considerable downside risks.
