外刊导读

章节摘录

　　“A drop in exports, as well as capital inflow, will trigger a falloff in investments,” Mr. Zoellick said in a speech on Monday. “Deceleration of growth and deteriorating financial conditions, combined with monetary tightening, will trigger business failures and possibly banking emergencies.”　　The immediate danger, economists say, are countries in Eastern and Central Europe, like Bulgaria and Estonia, which run steep trade deficits and are vulnerable to a sudden flight of foreign capital.　　Iceland, with an overheated economy and suffocating foreign debt, may prove to be the first national casualty of the crisis. On MondaY, threatened by a wholesale financial collapse, the government in Reykjavik assumed sweeping powers to intervene in its banking industry.　　“We were faced with the real possibility that the national economy would be sucked into the global banking swell and end in national bankruptcy,” Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde said on Monday.　　But with global growth slowing sharply, the problems could spread to larger emerging markets, even China, which has a hefty current account surplus and immense foreign reserves.　　“Where is China going to sell its exports？”Mr. Johnson of M. I.T. said. “Everyone is going into recession at the same time. ”　　This week, the focus will be on the Group of 7, whose finance ministers and central bankers are scheduled to meet on Friday at the Treasury Department. The group issued a perfunctory statement of support for the United States, after the Treasury secretary, Henry M. Panlson Jr., briefed members about the rescue plan in a conference call two weeks ago.　　But European finance ministers, notably Peer Steinbrtick of Germany, noted that the crisis began in the United States, and played down the need for a systemic European response.　　Mr. Zoellick, in his speech, said flatly that the Group of 7 “is not working. ” He advocates expanding the group —— which includes the United States, Canada, Britain, Italy, France, Germany and Japan —— to include emerging economies like Brazil, China, India and Saudi Arabia.
