The current global financial crisis has brought more harm than good to firms. Most firms have faced closures and others with losses. Domestically there have been closures of mines such as KCM luanshya and job cuts. Eventually, giant international firms have experienced losses despite recent global recovery from the crisis. Sony, one of Japanese electronic firm has reported a 390million losses, Shell and axxon Mobil one of world's largest oil producers has had profits plunge due to less demand of the product.
All these losses, job cuts came about due to a financial crisis that originated from the banking system in the U.S after banks loaned mortgages. Economists have so far called for banks to strengthen their loan policies to reduce chances of having another Crisis.
