The Financial Tower, owned by Bitexco, a wholly large Vietnamese company is a skyscraper of 74 storeys and 7 basements which is currently under construction in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Its location is in the business district 1 of the city. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in September 2005. Construction of the tower was started in June, 2007 and the tower is due to be completed in 30 months. The tower will have more than 16 elevators of the latest generation that can reach any position and any floor in the building within 45 seconds. When the building comes into operation, about 10,000 people will work there. Because of its size, the project is designed with seven basements covering 33,000 square meters for parking and for equipment for the building's operation. The tower is located on an area of 6,000 m² with the floor area of over 100,000 m². Total cost reaches more than $120 million. Once completion, this will be the tallest building in Vietnam. But in 2010, this title will be surpassed by a skyscraper in Hanoi, Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower with the height to the top roof of 336 m, 70 stories. However, as far as the number of floors is concerned, this tower will still have the most floors in Vietnam. The tower will be made of steel and glass structure and shaped in a lotus petal. Lotus is considered as a symbol of Vietnamese culture.

In dollar value, the world price of maize has shot up by 186 percent in the last two years: from 89 USD per metric tonne (mt) in May 2005 to 254 USD per mt in August this year, according to FEWS-NET. Until March 2008, 4.1 million food-insecure people in Zimbabwe are expected to face food shortages. Prices are at an all time high in Harare, the Zimbabwean capital, where they rose by 23 percent on average, from US$1.24 per kg in July to US$1.52 per kg in August, according to FEWS-NET, which used the official revised exchange rate for the Zimbabwean dollar of 15,000 ZWD to 1 USD. However, prices in Bulawayo, the second city, are double those in Harare, indicating the severity of the shortages in the south of the country. Food prices are likely to rise further and remain high, as current food supplies, including domestic production and imports, are insufficient to meet domestic demand [1].

The supply and demand model describes how prices vary as a result of a balance between product availability and demand. The graph depicts a right-shift in demand from D1 to D2 along with the consequent increase in price and quantity required to reach a new equilibrium point on the supply curve (S).
