Two years ago in August 2007, the global financial crisis started in the United States. Since then, the world economy has been damaged severely by this crisis, which was referred to as "the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression". Two years later, people are still wondering how is the world economy now; is the bottom of the crisis in sight; what lessons can we learn from this crisis.

Today Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi came to China Talk and shared his opinion on the current phase of the financial crisis. He is the Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference of Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
