Creating opportunity in adversity

The global financial crisis is having a huge impact on the environment in which your business is operating.

World market capitalization and asset valuations are declining. Energy and commodity prices are fluctuating. Environmental and political issues are contributing to adverse business pressures. Gaps in power between developed and emerging countries are narrowing.

Despite unprecedented worldwide government intervention to boost spending and restore confidence, most businesses are bracing themselves for even tougher conditions ahead.

But in these difficult times lie opportunities – and Ernst & Young’s global network of professionals can help you discover them for your business. Whether your organization is strong and healthy, under stress or facing difficult choices, we work with you to find financial, strategic and operational solutions that improve your liquidity, financial flexibility and stakeholder returns. We’re here to help you build a sustainable business – in the short and long term.
