Colombia's Peace Dividend?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Could peace talks help Colombia become a new tiger economy? Paul Moss reports from Bogota. And, is Indonesia putting at risk foreign investment flows, by growing protectionism? Karishma Vaswani reports from Jakarta. Plus, Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman has argued that austerity policies are 'fundamentally mad' at a debate in London. On the other side, economist Bridget Rosewell of Volterra Partners suggested that cuts in public services and tax rises can succeed in reducing a crushing deficit in public finances.
