This month is hopefully the last in which the

R word is mentioned in these pages. To be

able to celebrate the onset of something

approaching prosperity this Christmas will be

something of a novel idea considering where

we were in March. Although we are among

the last countries to drag itself out of re-uhh,-

gression, the UK remains an enviable business

hub, according to foreign entrepreneurs. Maybeits something in the European water (or the

tendency to take three hour lunchbreaks in many

countries) but many on the continent seem to

admire our work ethic. Despite said work ethic

winding down into the inevitable mess of fatty

roasted foods, advocaat and Monopoly, we can

at least sink into the chaise longues reflecting on

a year in which the we as a nation finally learned

the virtues of frugality.Our lead article this month welcomes the

impending upturn with open arms, while the rest

of the magazine takes on a seasonal theme. From

all of us at Exec Digital, a very merry Christmas

and Happy New Year to all.

The global recession put an end to a

three-decade-long expansion of global

capital markets. After nearly quadrupling

in size since 1980, world financial assets

including equities, private and public debt, andbank deposits fell by $16 trillion last year to

$178 trillion, the largest setback on record.

Combined, declines in equity and real estate

wiped out $28 trillion of global wealth in 2008and the first half of 2009.

But there are strong signs that an economic

upturn has begun.Last month the US gave a welcome signal

that the recession was nearing an end when itreported a sharp rebound in economic growth

for the third quarter. The news was dampened,

however, by the nations latest unemployment

rates, which stood at 10 percent in Octoberthe

highest level in a generation.The Royal Bank of Canada reports

that consumer expectations for the near-

term economic future in the US

fell substantially in November,

driven primarily by weakness

in attitudes regarding local

economies. The bank says less

than one-third of Americans

It has been a year of mounting

despair, frugality, doubt and

finally, mercifully, recovery.

expect their local

economy to be

stronger six months

from now, downfrom 36 percent

in October.RBC reported

s l i g h t l y m o r e

optimistic conditions

in Canada, with the

nations economy setto reverse a declining

trend off the backof a sharp rebound

in auto production

in the third quarter

and a recovery in

the housing market.

Overall, it projects

t h e C a n a d i a n

economy will grow

by 2.4 percent in thefourth quarter and

2.6 percent in 2010.However, as in the US, consumer spending

and saving levels are still being weighed down by

the 8.7 percent unemployment rate, which RBCsays could edge higher by years end.

McKinsey, the consultancy, says the best

description of economic recovery at least

for the next several months is battered

but resilient, indicating that

most nations expect a long,

slow recovery.Over the longer term,

however, it reports that mature

financial markets may be headedfor slower growth than emerging

economies. The current crisisis likely to be no more than a

temporary interruption in their

financial market development,

since the underlying sources of growth remain

strong. For investors and financial intermediaries

alike, emerging markets will become more

important as their share of global capital markets

continues to expand.A recent poll of 1,600 global corporate

executives conducted by McKinsey found that

executives in Asias developed

economies, including China and

India, are the most optimistic

about their nations economic

recovery. Overall, nearly half

of executives polled predict

global GDP will rise by the end

of this year, although far fewerexecutives 13 percent expect

GDP levels to return in 2010 to

the level they were before the

collapse of global financial markets in September

2008. But in China 82 percent of executives

are expecting GDP to increase this year, with

30 percent predicting GDP to regain pre-crisislevels in 2010.This sentiment is in line with recent forecasts

from the World Bank, which expects Chinas

GDP will increase 8.4 percent this year and 8.7percent in 2010 on the back of a $584 billion

fiscal stimulus package.Although Indias economic growth slowed to

6.7 percent so far this year after expanding at a

rate of around 9 percent for three straight years,the nations economy is expected to continue on

a steady upward trend over the next few years.Hans Rosling of Swedens Karolinska

Institute says India and China could emerge

as the leading economies in the world over the

longer term, with the wealth per capita overtaking

that of America and Britain by 2048.To realise this potential, however, he

says both countriesmust reform thei r

infrastructure, overcome

trade barr iers and

cope with the physical

impacts of climate change. Chinasacknowledgement of the threat

global warming has to its economic

growth was reflected in thecountrys share of green stimulus

funding. HSBC reports that

governments have allocated $470

billion in fiscal stimulus to climate

change investment themes, with

China leading the way in funding

for green infrastructure, including

rail links, energy grids, water

and buildings.Back in Europe, economic

conditions remain largely uncertain.

For Euro Zone countries, there

is little doubt that leaner times lie ahead. In

November, the European Commission reported

the EU is emerging from recession, with GDP

growing in the second half of the year. However,with the downturn at the start of the year, the

forecast for 2009 as a whole remains largelyunchanged, with GDP expected to fall by 4

percent. Economic growth will inch up slowly

next year, rising by 0.7 percent, with EU-wide

economy growing by 1.5 percent in 2011.

Unemployment rates are anticipated

to reach 10 percent next year.The International Monetary

Fund issued a more cautious outlook

for Eurozone nations, predicting

a contraction of 4.2 percent this

year and growth of just 0.3 percentin 2010.

Conditions are slightly better in

the UK. The Bank of Englands most

recent quarterly inflation report cast

a more positive outlook for the next

year than previously expected. Itsays the economy would begin to

expand next year and grow at a

pace of 3.75 percent in 2011.

The UK economy remains fragile, but we

do expect a gradual recovery over the next year,

says John Hawksworth, Head of Macroeconomics

a t P r i c e w a t e r h o u s e C o o p e r s , t h e

accountancy group.However, he cautioned that the level of GDP

would not return to its pre-recession peak until

mid-2012. Meanwhile, unemployment levels

could rise to around three million by the end of

next year. The UK unemployment rate rose from5.2 percent in the first quarter of 2008 to 7.8

percent in the second quarter of 2009.By 2025, PWC forecasts that fast- growing

cities in emerging market economies like China,

India and Brazil could challenge the dominanceof current leading global cities such as NewYork, Tokyo, Paris and London.

Tokyo and New York remained the two

largest urban centres between 1950 and 2007,at which time Mexico City and Mumbai had

caught up with the Big Apple. By 2025 New

Yorks economy is expected to be on par with

the former Indian capital city of Kolkata. By then,

three Indian cities and two Chinese cities will

move into the top 100 urban economic centres.Perhaps equally predictable, PWC says the

main fallers within the top 100 through 2025

are the cities of old Europe like Rome, Vienna

and Berlin. Within the UK, Birmingham and

Manchester slip down the rankings.This is not because these cities are

stagnating all are expected to see their

economies grow by up to 2 percent per year inreal terms over this period, says PWC. But they

cannot hope to keep pace with the fast-growingcity economies of the emerging world.

The UK economy remains fragile, but we do

epect a gradual recovery over the net year

When having a conversation with GeoffreyKent, the founder of one of the most

recognised luxury travel brands in the

world, Abercrombie & Kent, you are quickly catapulted

into his tales of taking 5 Gs in a Lightning jet above

Cape Town to racing Ferraris, expeditions to the top

of Kilimanjaro to diving with sharks in the Maldives.

We challenge you to find another CEO living a more

extreme life than this one, let alone the fact that Kent

is 67 years old. Age is only a state of mind, he tells

me.

Swashbuckler by day, royalty by nightGeoffrey Kent grew up on the family farm in the

Aberdare Highlands of Kenya. He explains that his

upbringing was a juxtaposition of absolutely incredibly

raw adventurous experiences during the day, with

incredible sophistication at night. His mother wasan elegant lady from London and regardless of the

adventures of his day having shot his first elephant

at 16 his evenings were filled with wearing a suit

for dinner and toasting the king on beautiful cut

glass, silver, and china. A year after the elephant

incident, he set out to explore Africa, traversingthe continent from Kenya to Cape Town and

becoming the first person to complete the

5,000-mile journey on a motorcycle.

This was enhanced by keeping with thefamily tradition of attending the Royal Military

Academy at Sandhurst. He saw action with the

British Forces in Aden, Libya, Kuwait and Yemen.

I was in all these hot spots fighting during the

day, but at night youd have elegant dinners

in the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards

Officers Mess, surrounded by oil paintings.

During his time in the army, he, along with his

parents, founded Abercrombie & Kent in 1962.

training of detailed planning

and logistics combined with

his passionate zeal for daytime

adventures and elegant nights.

This dichotomy proved to

be the foundation of A&K: I

would build this camp to be

like an oasis, caviar, cut glass,

ice, the best champagne, but

50 hippos from a nearby riverwould also be watching you.

David Rockefeller & Bill Gates

I believe ever since I took David Rockefellerand others on safari in 1960s, I think we have

been changing peoples lives. Through the

unique experiences, Kent further elaborates,

you show people something they have never

imagined before because you immerse them

in this foreign land and with your enthusiasm,

you show them how amazing this world reallyis. During these luxury travel adventures with

the business elite, many that lasted 30 days, hewould take avid notes at night on his yellow pad

If people have a passion, they

should follow it and make it

into their business. Thats thebest life you can haveGeoffrey Kent, Founder of A&K

Kent in Africa



and felt he could be a successful businessman.I think what I have done is create a business bylistening to all these wonderful people.

A&K took Bill Gates on his first safari to

Africa and still remembers what Gates said:

My slogan is, if it works, its obsolete. A&K areconstantly searching the globe for new travel

adventures and Geoffrey Kent makes sure to tryout each one, which keeps him on the road over150 days each year. When asked what other

lessons hes learned he energetically says: If

people have a passion, they should follow it and

make it into their business. Thats the best lifeyou can have. So many people are unhappy with

their work and are only interested in building a

business and selling it. When he is not on the

road, Kent lives in Monaco, but also has homesin London and Nairobi, Kenya.

Adrenaline junkieListening to Geoffrey Kent, its obvious this man

requires adrenaline. And with his extraordinarytales of adventures, such as diving with sharksin the Maldives and white water rafting beneath

the Victoria Falls, he certainly gets plenty of it.But his need for the extreme is no more evident

than when he shares the experience of flying inan English Electric Lightning Fighter Jet above

Cape Town: We went from sea level to 40,000feet in a minute and I took on 5Gs. From the

cockpit, he could even see the curvature of

the earth. Anything that creates adrenaline

changes your life and I want my life changed

every single day; I dont want to sit for a minute

to think that one week could go by without

something happening.

Changing peoples livesWith the holiday season in full swing, who better

than Geoffrey Kent a man who has done it

all to dole out some gift-giving advice. His

recommendation? A travel holiday, naturally. He

explains that it is the best gift you could give,

because everyone in the family can share in it.

Nothing is more valuable today than family time,we all work too hard. Plus he explains that travel

experiences are the only true time families can

bond and that doesnt mean going to a city by the

way; its going to Antarctica or some other exotic

location. In a city, Kent believes, everyone wants to

go somewhere different, but if you are together to

dive with a whale shark, or climb Kilimanjaro, you

will remember it forever. They instantly forget a

Cartier watch you get for Christmas, but they do not

forget the time they saw the wildebeest migration

cross the Mara River or a cheetah giving birth to

beautiful cubs in the Masai Mara, he says.

Almost a half century after he started

Abercrombie & Kent, he has grown it into a

multimillion dollar company with 62 offices around

the world and 2,322 committed employees that aimto exceed the dreams of our guests as we change

their lives forever with passion and commitment

thats what we do.
