Economic downturn wipes $708bn off Top 50 global brand values 
 
Since January, all brand sectors have been hit by commodity price 
rises, the credit crunch, rising unemployment and tumbling share 
prices. The result, says Brand Finance, is a $708bn fall in brand 
value across the top 500 global companies to $2,289bn. Cosmetics 
and personal care companies have not been immune to the downturn, 
and Brand Finance presents  here a snapshot of the varying fortunes 
of the Top 10. A fuller report will appear in Cosmetics International, 
11 September.
