The world is getting spooky this Halloween

» Halloween is here. My mother-in-law in the US is busy picking out pumpkins for the day. Her grandchildren are busy dressing up as ghosts and witches on one of the oldest of Western holidays. Each year on Oct 31, children in costumes go from door to door to collect treats from their neighbours, while adults spend the night at frightening Halloween parties. I also have plans this Halloween and am looking forward to a good laugh.

» This Halloween the worst may be over for the world in general, but many people are still worried about economic conditions. In fact, the latest World Economic Outlook from the International Monetary Fund pointed to the rather spooky state of the global economy. It expects growth to expand by only 2.9% this year and 3.6% in 2014 _ down by 0.3 and 0.2 points respectively compared to the predictions it made just three months ago.
