BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Syria: Business losses from civil war pegged at nearly $3 billion

December 13, 2013 Reprints

Estimates show that loss of production, theft and damage at workshops exceed 330 billion Syrian pounds ($2.9 billion) and 70% of these occurred at privately owned enterprises. Fuad Lahham from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization said the number is "probably bigger because the assessment doesn’t include all factories as many are inaccessible."
