IMF waarschuwt voor gevaren bezuinigingsdrift

IMF waarschuwt voor gevaren bezuinigingsdrift

22-07-2010
FRANKFURT - De drift van overheden in de eurozone om de begrotingstekorten en de investeringen terug te brengen, kan de komende jaren een rem gooien op de economische groei, waarschuwde het Internationaal Monetair Fonds (IMF) woensdag.

Ook zijn nieuwe economische problemen volgens het fonds niet uit te sluiten.
Het risico van een kredietcrisis ligt vooral op de loer bij de Zuid-Europese landen Griekenland, Portugal, Spanje en Italië, landen met torenhoge schulden.

Veel mensen in deze landen werken bij middelgrote of kleine ondernemingen. Deze bedrijven kunnen het volgens het IMF moeilijk krijgen bij het afsluiten van nieuwe leningen.
De rente van de Europese Centrale Bank (ECB) moet volgens het fonds voorlopig op het historisch lage niveau van 1 procent blijven om het economische herstel te ondersteunen.

Bijdrage
Een herstel van het consumentenvertrouwen kan volgens het IMF de economische groei ondersteunen, maar het is ''onwaarschijnlijk dat consumentenbestedingen voor eind 2011 een substantiële bijdrage leveren aan de groei'', aldus de organisatie voor monetaire zaken uit Washington.

Het IMF heeft de laatste jaren een grote rol gekregen in de strijd tegen de recessie. De leencapaciteit van het fonds werd vorig jaar verdrievoudigd tot 750 miljard dollar om landen uit de financiële nood te helpen.

really grieve for the UK; I have been warning my friends for 2 years now but unlike in the US we dont have any really independent voices such as Peter Schiff etc to explain to an ordinary person exactly what is going on. Vince Cable is allowed one soundbite per month. …Does anyone know of a UK specific site I could point people to (apart from Money Morning)?True, as bad as the US media is, the UK media is even more craven and herd-like. I was horrified in 2007 as the bubble popped in the US sub-prime housing market (and contagion spread through securities based on that market) how complacent the UK coverage of the incipient crisis was, how lacking in reflection on UK sub-prime and financial dependence. I only heard one person state the obvious back then: [Greed & Fear] – Posted by Gwen Robinson on Sep 14 10:33…In light of such cheery developments, then, Wood’s advice is that “equity investors should remain underweight all such financial stocks globally that have been playing these games, however seemingly cheap they they look on a crude PE basis.”It is also “clearly wrong only to focus on America,” concludes Wood:“Take the example of the UK, which is in many ways far more exposed than America. For the US is a very diversified economy, competitive in many sectors and with a highly competitive labour market. It is certainly not just about housing. By contrast, Britain is only about housing, financial services and subprime lending.”…posted by Gwen Robinson on Friday, September 14th, 2007(emphasis added). I’d have got out of sterling then, if I’d known of a legal and efficient means to do so. I did raise those concerns with my own family at the time, and my anxiety to protect savings, but they were dismissed out of hand. That’s why I’ve long thought there’s a market for a personal hedge-fund service aimed at savers (a wedge-fund if you like ), which would enable low-net worth individuals to preserve wealth against volatility in currencies and commodities.So I’d say, look to financial commentators who did warn about Britain’s predicament in advance. Currently, the most notable dissonant voice may be .I’m surprised I haven’t heard Max & Stacy mention him on TAM or had him on any of their tv shows for the BBC, PressTV or RT. His focus is similar, sceptical analysis of financial markets, criticism of political policies, and the implications for the majority of people. e.g.He needs a proof-reader, but other than that he spells out the situation for the UK quite clearly.

India&#8217;s Central Bank is also purchasing gold to diversify its portfolio. In recent news, India purchased some 200 tons of gold. Tagged with: India Central Bank&nbsp; 0 Comments Leave A Response

Josie Richardson - For me your best post this year was definately Rachel and Jeff. I would&#8217;ve commented on it but by the time I realised you already had 240 comments, so I didn&#8217;t. When you first started putting previews up I didn&#8217;t pay too much attention. Initially I thought the editing was just a bit too different for me. Now i think it will be one of my all time favourites which I just keep returning to. Like Nick and Surya&#8217;s. The simplicity and rawness of those images are heart-wrenching. A great example of what can happen when the right couple is combined with the right photographer. Pure majic.Looking forward to more mind-blowing goodness next year Jonas!

Fulford's was pinching: his thtoghus seem to be rather primal. Also, when you say ‘the US is part of the G20…’, do you mean the bit with all of the voters, and debts, and health problems, and poverty… or do you mean the bit with the power, resources, international business connections, zero electoral responsibility, press etc.Or do you still concieve of them as being the same thing? NO, actually I meant the bit about our governmental structure being dominated by the G20 governing board members: our Timmy Geithner is the sitting head for the US on that IMF board. The meeting of the governors of the IMF board is what is meant by the G20. Decisions are made by the G20 for those that stand to profit through ties or ownership to the IMF/BIS currency conglomerate monopoly. I meant that all financial regulatory reforms are flowing from Basel Committee through the newly empowered Financial Stability Board at the BIS which superceeds sovereign' heads of state. I meant that the armies of the G7 Western industrial powers are operating under NATO jurisdiction, with the war in Afghanistan being a joint-venture under the auspices of the UN Security Council (why do you think Obama is now their sitting head?) To ignore the structure of the financial international world order and to glean information from a myopic pick of personal preference for spook seems to be Fulford's bias.
