Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum has given his views on how the Forum's Annual Meeting should respond to the global economic crisis, saying in an interview that "the first task is to help to manage the crisis and the second is to shape the post-crisis world because only if we look at longer term perspectives can we recreate trust, in the economic system and the future." Professor Schwab was speaking ahead of the Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 28 January – 1 February 2009.
