Amid uproar from unions, local communities, and the press, the UK secretary of state for trade and industry engaged in frantic shuttle diplomacy between London, Longbridge, and Munich to try and stave off BMW’s imminent withdrawal. However, despite offers of £150m (a230m) in government subsidies, BMW eventually announced it was going to pull the plug on Rover, to the despair of workers and the embarrassment of the powerless government. Whilst finding a buyer for the ailing car plant was never going to be easy, the Rover business was eventually sold in May 2000 to the ‘Phoenix Four’ consortium headed by former Rover CEO John Towers. To sweeten the deal and hasten their own exit, BMW agreed to sell Longbridge to the Phoenix group for a nominal ten pounds (a15), and even provided the group with a massive ‘dowry’ in the form of cash, assets, debt relief, and loans, said to amount to some £1bn.

- In 2015, Greece's debt had reached 323 billion euro—the highest in modern history. With debt amounting to 177 percent of its GDP, Greece's rating was downgraded. Not only Greece but other highly indebted countries such as Ireland, Portugal, and Spain were under scrutiny. Since then, the EU's economy has gone into crisis. The EU and IMF agreed to bailout packages for Greece, Ireland, and Portugal. In February 2011, euro zone finance ministers set up a permanent bailout fund, called the European Stability Mechanism. In mid-2011, talk abounds that Greece would be forced to be the first country leaving the euro zone although this speculation was denied. The EU's private sector shrank for the first time in two years; the euro continued to fall against the U.S. dollar; and the euro was seen as a "burning building with no exits".

Tajikistan is one of the poorest of these countries, with less than 7% of its land available for cultivation. Tajikistan became an independent nation in 1991 as the result of the dissolution of the former Soviet Union. The shift in its status from being a member of a totalitarian republic to an independent nation brought with it certain challenges.

Financial hardships and inadequate tariffs in Tajikistan severely limited provision of services and maintenance of equipment. Faulty design and installation of equipment while Tajikistan was still part of the Soviet Union added to these problems.
