Lithuania welcomes euro but wave of emigration a painful side-effect of closer ties with West
– canadianbusiness.com
VILNIUS, Lithuania – When Antanas Zubavicius turns the light on in his run-down house, it’s the only light for miles. He is the last man in Dumbliuneliai, a once busy farmers’ village in Lithuania that has gradually been abandoned as its residents emigrated in search of better jobs.
“I’m not going anywhere. This is my land,” the 60-year-old says, waving at the abandoned, shuttered houses around him. “When I am gone this village is gone too.”
As Lithuania prepares to adopt the euro on Jan. 1, it is hoping that membership in the European Union’s official currency will bring a rise in investment and trade. But the Baltic country’s increasing integration with richer European countries is also having a pernicious side-effect: a wave of emigration that is emptying towns and causing worker shortages.
Emigration has been on the rise since 2004, when this country of 3 million people joined the EU, whose membership guarantees freedom of movement…

(AP Photo/Eric Gay)In February 2014, I rang up Bob Hoye, a financial forecaster in Vancouver well known for his bearish outlook, to talk about where oil prices might be headed. It was an engaging and enlightening interview, and it led to this column. Here’s an excerpt:
So what does Hoye see coming down the pipe for oil, that sludgy lifeblood of the Canadian economy? “Somewhere in the next couple of months, the price advance in crude will probably have maxed out for this business cycle,” he says. “It’s easy to say that crude oil could fall to 25 per cent of its recent high. It will change things enormously.”
At the time, West Texas Intermediate oil was trading for a little more than US$100 a barrel, which, if Hoye’s forecast played out as he saw it, meant oil would soon top out and begin to plunge toward US$25 a barrel.
You can imagine what my inbox looked like in the following weeks. Messages and comments flooded in, mostly anonymous, dismissing Hoye’s forecasting record and pointing to Maclean’s dour covers about the housing market…
