The Sri Lanka-Italy Business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce will be organising a breakfast meeting to discuss the US Federal Reserve’s move towards tapering of its Quantitative Easing program and its global impact.
The Fed has cut monthly quantitative easing by $ 10 billion to $ 75 billion from January and has given hints that interest rates will be hiked in 2015. Is the global market well prepared?
