INTRODUCTION
Let us cast our minds back to January 1, 2000. Despite all the hoopla surrounding
the beginning of a New Millennium – for most people the transition

a sequence of interest rate cuts. Faith in the wonders of the “New Economy”
soon dissipated. Opinion became divided between those who viewed the period

The economic rumblings of 2000 were soon overshadowed by events on a
