View on global economy
“President Obama concentrates on his economic stimulus plan. Nations around the world attempt to stabilize their economies as well…. Trade also accounted for the entire U.S. economic growth in the past year. Trade issues definitely qualify for the major leagues, but seem to be neglected so far. The world depends on continuity in trade. The global economic outlook, competition and consumer choice are shaped by trade flows and currency values. Competitive devaluations, for example, provide unfair advantages to exporters. For us, the promotion of U.S. exports must have a central place in the economic recovery package. Global markets are parsing any announcement for signs of what the Obama Administration will mean for them. The world economies are intertwined. Any stimulus measure of one nation is likely to rapidly affect others, and trigger responses. Economic activity is highly concentrated among a few players. The United States, European Union, Japan, China and Canada account for more than 75 percent of the world’s economy. A good domestic stimulus should not become an international distortion. Subsidies paid to farmers in one country, for example, can affect dairy related industries around the world. Once introduced, protectionism can quickly become contagious and be emulated around the world.”
