EurActiv reported on the 22 January 2014 that business leaders gathering for their annual high-profile networking forum in Davos were feeling better about their companies' prospects and a lot more so about the broader economic outlook. However, some worries also persisted. Oxfam published a report on the 20 January 2014 where it warned that those richest 85 people across the globe share a combined wealth of £1tn, as much as the poorest 3.5 billion of the world's population. The Global Commission on Internet Governance was launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos and aims to investigate state censorship of the internet and the mass surveillance and bulk processing of personal data by US and UK intelligence agencies. It will be headed by Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt. Top leaders at the 2014 World Economic Forum have also warned that Europe was not fully out of recession. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has addressed the World Economic Forum, saying his country was seeking international ties. He said moderation and prudence were at the center of his philosophy. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble defended Berlin's policy during the eurozone debt crisis at the Conference. He said budget discipline remained a priority. The UK Government's austerity measures and immigration policy also came under fire at the World Economic Forum, although the Bank of England governor Mark Carney highlighted the UK economy's recovery. |
