The annual meeting of the Economic Commission of the Society took place in the Generalate from 4-7th of October 2011.
The Bursars from Germany, France, Poland, Brazil, and Ireland were present.
The most important themes concerned: the economic situation in Africa and the possibilities of generating income at the local level in that Continent, the buildings in various mission territories, alienation and the relative regulations, the world situation for investments, the reduction of debts and the recovery of credits.
Fr. Jacob Nampudakam, the Rector General, in his address to the Committee members emphasized that the economics of our society is not something apart from the spirituality but it is part of our spiritual life. Therefore we have to look at it with greater importance. He also said that good administration means creating finance and spending it responsibly with transparency and accountability. Therefore in all our economic conducts there should be creativity which of course demands courage and risk from the part of the members.
