Strategy & Financial Highlights
Air Products states that fiscal 2009 was a year of “great uncertainty and volatility” as the world’s financial markets and economies “collapsed”. The company further states that as the global economy begins to recover in fiscal 2010, it will reflect not on the previous “difficult” year, but on the “bright future” it has because of the tough but necessary actions it says it took in response to the global recession.
