    UN pushes for current account goal: The
    fragile world economic recovery faces a heightened risk of
    a slowdown as developed economies withdraw their fiscal
    stimulus measures while the economic fundamentals of the
    United States weaken, says the United Nations.

    A weakening dollar also is increasing volatility in the world
    financial markets, the UN added in its report, "The World
    Economic Situation and Prospects".

    It proposed reinforcing a framework laid out by the G20
    economies in setting targets for trade and service income
    surpluses and deficits in large economies.

    The US has recovered from its longest and deepest
    recession since World War II, but has nonetheless
    experienced the slowest pace of recovery in history.

    Although output has returned to pre-crisis levels, it will take
    four years for a full recovery of employment.

    Growth in many European economies will remain low as it
    is weighted down by fiscal cuts while some economies slip
    into a recession. Japanese growth was expected to
    decelerate, the report noted.

    Although developing economies will continue to lead global
    economic output, their growth is likely to decline to 6% from
    2011-12, following 7% in 2010, the report projected.

    It expects the world economy to grow 3.1% this year,
    slowing from 3.6% in 2010, before picking up to 3.5% in
    2012.

    Nagesh Kumar, the chief economist with the United
    Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia-Pacific
    (Escap), said the global imbalance widened in 2010, driven
    by US and European policies to pump money into their
    economies causing their currencies to depreciate.

    "Unless the global imbalance is addressed, the risk of a
    new crisis to the world economy remains. But we should
    not focus too much on foreign exchange, meaning
    pressuring China to revalue the yuan, which is pegged to
    the dollar," said Dr Kumar.

    The world economy runs the risk of weakening demand if
    the US continues to pursue a weak dollar policy, which
    hurts its consumer power but may increase exports, he
    said.

    "The US has been facing a pertinent current account deficit
    while China accumulates a surplus. We should bring them
    to a certain central rate, say minus or plus 3% of gross
    domestic product. This structural adjustment would help the
    global economy on a sustainable growth path," he said.

    Having a current account target in place would also serve                                                                                               Market Strategists:

  • 5. KBank Daily Update Jan 19, 2011 Cooperation could also serve as a forum for financial Economic News Update regulation reform to prevent future meltdowns, he said.. (Source: Bloomberg) UN pushes for current account goal: The fragile world economic recovery faces a heightened risk of a slowdown as developed economies withdraw their fiscal stimulus measures while the economic fundamentals of the United States weaken, says the United Nations. A weakening dollar also is increasing volatility in the world financial markets, the UN added in its report, "The World Economic Situation and Prospects". It proposed reinforcing a framework laid out by the G20 economies in setting targets for trade and service income surpluses and deficits in large economies. The US has recovered from its longest and deepest recession since World War II, but has nonetheless experienced the slowest pace of recovery in history. Although output has returned to pre-crisis levels, it will take four years for a full recovery of employment. Growth in many European economies will remain low as it is weighted down by fiscal cuts while some economies slip into a recession. Japanese growth was expected to decelerate, the report noted. Although developing economies will continue to lead global economic output, their growth is likely to decline to 6% from 2011-12, following 7% in 2010, the report projected. It expects the world economy to grow 3.1% this year, slowing from 3.6% in 2010, before picking up to 3.5% in 2012. Nagesh Kumar, the chief economist with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia-Pacific (Escap), said the global imbalance widened in 2010, driven by US and European policies to pump money into their economies causing their currencies to depreciate. "Unless the global imbalance is addressed, the risk of a new crisis to the world economy remains. But we should not focus too much on foreign exchange, meaning pressuring China to revalue the yuan, which is pegged to the dollar," said Dr Kumar. The world economy runs the risk of weakening demand if the US continues to pursue a weak dollar policy, which hurts its consumer power but may increase exports, he said. "The US has been facing a pertinent current account deficit while China accumulates a surplus. We should bring them to a certain central rate, say minus or plus 3% of gross domestic product. This structural adjustment would help the global economy on a sustainable growth path," he said. Having a current account target in place would also serve Market Strategists: as a first step toward reforming the global reserve system, which now largely uses the greenback to protect its assets.
