The dramatic improvement in demand in 2002 2004 did of course provide an incentive to add capacity, particularly in countries where continued strong demand growth was foreseen.

In the context of a recovering world economy, and given a sustained surge in demand from developing countries, particularly from China, India and countries of Latin America, world demand for oil grew steadily in 2004.

The pace of deficit reduction must be slowed, particularly in Spain, because output is determined in the short run by demand, and private demand cannot replace public demand until a degree of faith in the future is restored. This move toward support of effective demand must be combined with the kind of structural reforms that will allow more rapid, supply side growth in the longer term.

UNOPS experienced growing demand for its services, particularly for project management services supporting large scale, complex programme activities in post conflict and transitional situations.

Of course, the effects spread through the economy as demand for cars falls, demand for steel also falls, and steel workers are laid off. But unemployment is most pronounced in the construction and automobile sectors, or in regions where house prices rose particularly rapidly.

As a result, Europe will remain a net energy importer. And, given rising global demand for oil, particularly in developing countries, energy import prices will remain high.

Today s problems are compounded by a lack of sufficient private demand particularly household consumption in the advanced economies to compensate for demand losses stemming from austerity. During the last two decades, consumption drove these countries economic growth, reaching historically high GDP shares.

In this respect, nuclear energy s advantages, particularly its reliability and predictable costs, stand out. The International Energy Agency s 2010 World Energy Outlook foresees a rise in global energy demand of 40 by 2030 an unforgiving reality that is most tangibly felt in developing countries, particularly in Asia.

Demand for illicit drugs must be reduced, and all relevant laws must be enforced, particularly those limiting the use of drugs for medical purposes and research in producing areas.

Moreover, new dimensions of the problem of energy security have emerged in the last few years. One is the great increase in energy demand from the rapidly growing economies of Asia, particularly China.

First, high commodity prices yield windfall profits for the region s leading producers of raw materials. Growing demand for energy, metals, and minerals particularly in China has driven unprecedented levels of foreign investment.

Most others would at the very least demand a coalition government to reflect the existing diversity of views. Legitimacy by election is particularly problematic in countries with what might be called endemic minorities.

On the demand side, the ongoing economic slowdown in China is starting to affect companies orders and revenues, adding to the challenges stemming from the persistently sluggish US economy. Meanwhile, the euro s recent appreciation (particularly against the Japanese yen) limits Europe s ability to compensate for anemic global demand by capturing greater market share.

It certainly is not getting any easier to drive around in places like São Paulo, Dubai, and Shanghai. For a variety of reasons, mostly related to government intervention, few emerging market economies can be categorized as having flexible resource demand, so commodity price spikes are not having a particularly big effect on demand.

Training in the use of satellite imagery is particularly in demand at the local level where authorities and communities need geographical information to determine land use strategies, orient their development and manage their vulnerability to natural hazards.

(a) Take appropriate measures to raise public awareness of the issue of trafficking in persons, particularly in women and girls, including to address the demand side of the problem, to publicize laws, regulations and penalties relating to this issue and to emphasize that trafficking is a crime, in order to eliminate the demand for trafficked women and children, including by sex tourists

India welcomed the adoption of the Joint Ministerial Statement, which reaffirmed the measures needed and provided guiding principles, particularly with respect to demand reduction, judicial cooperation and countering money laundering.

Property or capital gains taxes could help curb demand for housing as an investment vehicle. In addition, a comprehensive nationwide housing policy is urgently needed to ensure that housing remains affordable, particularly for those on limited incomes.

With the world demand for oil surging, particularly from China and India, oil prices rose and economic growth continued in 2004 in the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) region (except for conflict zones) for the second consecutive year.

Moreover, production may occur in response to actual demand, not anticipated or forecast demand. In some sense, this represents the ultimate compression of supply chains, as firms produce to final demand with minimal delay.

He said there's just not in demand.

At the heart of their concerns is the lack of sustained demand needed to drive growth. While structural reforms particularly on the supply side are required in developed and developing countries, they are not sufficient to address what former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has called secular stagnation that is, the difficulty of sustaining sufficient demand to permit normal levels of output.

Second, the Chinese production mix does not correspond to domestic demand, and investment in long products has outpaced demand growth.

In this case, supply right next to demand.

Strengthening international cooperation in drug demand reduction programmes

In response to the scarcity of water resources, several African countries, particularly those situated in arid and semi arid zones, have drawn up strategies for the preservation of underground water, which is in heavy demand as a result of rapid urbanization and the expansion of farming.

But 2006 turned out to be a good year for growth in Europe, as surprising strength in exports sparked unexpected increases in domestic demand. Germany, the euro zone s biggest economy, had a particularly dramatic turnaround, with annual GDP up by 2.7 in 2006, the highest rate since 2000.

Even the one factor that has effectively increased disposable incomes and augmented demand sharply declining commodity prices, particularly for fossil fuels is ultimately problematic. Indeed, for commodity exporting countries, the fall in prices is generating fiscal and economic headwinds of varying intensity.

DESERTIFICATION, PARTICULARLY IN AFRICA

If growth and employment expectations remain dismal, it will be difficult to rekindle demand, particularly private business investment, no matter how low interest rates are, or how many resources banks have for potential lending. ECB President Mario Draghi s message in his speech last month in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as well as at his September press conference was a clear call for more fiscal support to boost effective demand.

In fact, demand for clean energy was exploding worldwide.

There is an urgent demand for justice in Haiti.

This can be particularly acute away from main commercial centres, particularly in rural areas.

And when supply is equal to demand, everything's fine, but when supply falls, in this case of oxygen, and demand stays high, you're dead.

BEIJING China s 12th Five Year Plan calls for a shift in the country s economic model from export led growth toward greater reliance on domestic demand, particularly household consumption. Since the Plan s introduction, China s current account surplus as a share of GDP has indeed fallen.
