Some of the region's important indicators now hint again at a quickening economic pace in 2013, but observers remain wary of declaring that we are out of the economic doldrums. http://www.frbatlanta.org//pubs/econsouth/12q4_summary_national_economy.cfm Wed, 23 Jan 2013 00:01:00 EST With labor markets and the housing sector taking halting steps forward, 2012 showed some signs of continuing economic recovery.

Now, however, they're becoming easier to spot, suggesting that the Sunshine State's beleaguered housing market is gaining health. http://www.frbatlanta.org//pubs/econsouth/12q3_summary_secured_transaction_reform.cfm Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:10:00 EST For developing countries, secured transaction reform holds the promise of cheaper and more widely available credit for small businesses.
