WASHINGTON – It’s been a mournful entrance onto the world financial stage for Jim Flaherty’s successor, whose first international meetings as finance minister have been marked by offers of condolence.
Joe Oliver says he was greeted with words of sorrow from colleagues as he arrived at the annual spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and G7 and G20 finance ministers.

Investors have re-focused on safer sectors such as utilities, health care and consumer staples instead of companies that promise potential growth from online services that are building huge audiences.
Stung by the abrupt change in sentiment, the stocks of recent stars such as Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are 20 per cent to 45 per cent below their recent peaks.
