Macroeconomics –Polischuk

This business outlook was included in MeadWestvaco’s (MWV) second quarter earnings report issued in late July: “The company remains cautious around ongoing macroeconomic challenges in developed markets and the impact on consumer demand, higher costs for certain raw materials and freight, as well as the potential impact of policies in key emerging markets to control inflation. The company is also continuing to monitor fiscal developments, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, which could also impact consumer confidence.”
