Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a cutting edge analysis of the rapid rise of China's network society and reviews recent key developments within China's



internet economy, notably the concepts of "Lucky Money" and E-Business on Wechat, and Crowd-Funding Platforms. It focuses on drawing out the sociological impact of these economic developments, examining among others the bearing of the decentralization of e-business in rural areas. It offers a vital sociological perspective on the development of China's internet society and how it affects social and professional relations, examining the shift from the traditional Red Envelope Giving Culture to Digital Red Envelope, micro charity 2.0 as well as the Rise of Internet Crowd Funding in China. Combining an up to date analysis of the current state of play of China's internet society with expertise in the rapidly changing landscape of China's social media, this book provides key insights into how technology impacts on the communication and movementof population in China, in both social and economic spheres.

Sommario/riassunto

This 2016 Article IV Consultation highlights Panama’s expected continued growth—among the strongest  in Latin America—against a backdrop of low inflation, a stable financial system, and a declining current account deficit. GDP grew by 5.8 percent in 2015, and growth is projected to remain at about 6 percent in 2016 and over the medium term. The economy will be supported by the expected opening of the expanded canal and lower fuel prices. The overall fiscal deficit is expected to consolidate to 1.2 percent of GDP over the medium term. Public debt is projected as sustainable.
