	Inside Forkliftaction.com Contact the Forkliftaction team There may be some bumps ahead in the economy, and the International Monetary Fund is warning leaders to prepare for a rainy day. The latest jitters were triggered by word that the USA will start paring back its stimulus programs and there have already been impacts on emerging markets. "Market jitters in recent days have reminded us that emerging economies have yet to complete their adjustment to more volatile external conditions and higher risk premiums," warns Jose Vinals, director of the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department. The forklift industry should shrug off any ill effects since the emerging markets have seen solid growth and the major manufacturers are looking to more mature markets for improvements this year. Again, it’s a reminder against putting all one’s eggs in the same basket and about the need to spread risk.   Local News Editorial articles by Forkliftaction News Director fined for dangerous lifting incident Australasia News Adelaide, South Australia The South Australian Industrial Court has fined Michael Carter, director of United Cranes and Rigging and manager of United Precast, $1,750 plus legal fees after a workplace incident that occurred ...
