** 4.5
------------------------------------------------------------
North Korean provocations have clustered increasingly closer to U.S. presidential and congressional midterm elections, especially in the last few election cycles under Kim Jong-un. The average window for a North Korean provocation bracketed around all U.S. national elections (i.e., before or after), is 4.5 weeks.

** 90%
------------------------------------------------------------
Small businesses constitute more than 90 percent of the global private sector, providing 70 percent of all the jobs, and drive half the global economy. The Covid-19 pandemic has made existing financial vulnerabilities an existential threat for many firms.

** 3 billion
------------------------------------------------------------
3 billion of the world’s population cannot afford the cheapest healthy diet and must depend on poor-quality food. At the same time, the world only produces 35 percent of the fruits and vegetables needed for all people to meet the global recommendation.
