Nemko News in Brief December 2024

Dear Reader,

"The distribution of this issue is unfortunately quite delayed this time due to some technical issues".

 

The year 2024 has come to an end. As usual, for many of us, it has been a good year, while for many others around the world, it has surely not been so. And in the world history, nor will this year be marked as a good one, due to the ongoing terrible wars in several places and increasing geopolitical uncertainty. We must hope and believe that 2025 will prove better.

In any case, I take the opportunity to thank you for your interest in this monthly publication from Nemko, and now hoping that you are having a nice holiday season and a good start of the Roman New Year 😊

The last issue of this newsletter for 2024 covers the below shown topics, which are hopefully found to be of interest.
