What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised this year’s growth forecast upward for the Middle East and North Africa region and says recovery will be 'divergent.'
• Speaking of the latest developments in the global economy, the IMF has upgraded the world growth forecast!
• Millions of small shops in India have now become the next big target of tech firms to integrate technology into local shopping experiences.
• Global and local technology and financial services giants have embarked on a range of projects aimed at enhancing skills and diversity among small businesses in South Africa.
• Quote of the week:  “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” – Albert Einstein
• Managing divergent economies (by the IMF).  We are on firmer ground but there is a high degree of uncertainty.
