【篇三:时事英语短文】
obama: economy may be a job for more than one president
ave been building for decades, president barack obama told cbs program 60 minutes in an interview set to air sunday, dec. 11.
ive always believed that this was a long-term project, the president said. reversing structural problems in our economy that had been building up for two decades, that was going to take time.
obama was asked whether he understood the difficulties of improving the economy when he took office in 2009.
it was going to take more than a year. it was going to take more than two years. it was going to take more than one term. probably takes more than one president, obama told his interviewer.
obama said he understood the frustrations of americans struggling in todays economy, but compared himself to a captain of a ship in a bad storm.
no matter how well were steering the ship, if the boats rocking back and forth and people are getting sick and...theyre being buffeted by the winds and the rain, obama said.
people are going to say, you know what? a good captain
would have had us in some smooth waters and sunny skies, at this point. and i dont control the weather, the president added. chinese sovereign debt bonds that tie:
japan wants to buy chinese government bonds
in the autumn of 2010, when he was japan‘s finance minister, yoshihiko noda decried it as ―strange‖ that china had bought up as much as ¥2.3 trillion (then $25.5 billion) in japanese government bonds while its own debt was off-limits to outsiders. now prime minister, mr noda is redressing the balance. at a summit in beijing on december 25th the two countries announced an agreement to let japan buy chinese sovereign debt. no sum or timetable was disclosed, though japanese news media reported the amount will reach $10 billion once china approves japan‘s application.
both countries say the agreement symbolises the growing importance of their economic ties, which have long been warmer than their diplomatic ones. china is japan‘s largest trading partner; japan counts as china‘s biggest after america. but the deal may also be a signal. officials in tokyo fret that china‘s purchases of japanese bonds fuel the yen‘s
appreciation. by negotiating for approval to own chinese debt, japan can register its discomfort with china‘s actions and gain some influence of its own.
japan will not simply be able to buy whatever it likes, however. china seems happy for foreign central banks to hold limited amounts of its bonds as another step in the
internationalisation of the yuan. malaysia reportedly already enjoys the privilege, among others; japan is set to be the first g7 country to do so. but china will not do anything to
compromise its control of the exchange rate. fred bergsten at the peterson institute for international economics, a think-tank in washington, dc, once argued that america should dispense with the niceties and exert upward pressure on the chinese currency via the offshore market instead. he advised america to buy instruments such as the yuan-denominated ―dim sum‖ bonds now on offer in hong kong. quite what effect that would have on the exchange rate is unclear, but the message would be unmistakable.
the great wall of debt?
thats the word out of china this morning, according to ratings agency moodys.
local government debt could be 3.5 trillion renminbi ($540 billion) larger than first thought, a troubling number that could expose chinese banks to deeper losses that could eventually threaten their credit ratings, moodys says.
it points to bank of china and china citic bank as two banks that pursued particularly aggressive lending strategies in 2009, when chinese banks went on a lending tear.
―banks‘ exposure to local government borrowers is greater than we anticipated,‖ yvonne zhang, a moody‘s analyst, said in a statement published by reuters. the biggest worry?
slower economic growth in the world‘s second-largest economy could trigger a round of loan defaults, hobbling chinas banking system and unnerving global markets and, of course, adding more problems to the fragile global economy. moodys is urging beijing to come up with a clear master plan to fix the problem.
this isnt the first warning about chinas banking system.
as reported by globalposts david case back in january, fitch ratings late last year issued a troubling report on the sector. heres how case put it:
experts are warning that china‘s red-hot economy is catching a contagion of its own. the country is increasingly awash in runaway loans, a development that could have serious implications for china and the global economy.
the situation has become so precarious that fitch ratings, a global credit
analysis firm, issued a report last month revealing a litany of messy banking practices associated with aggressive chinese loan making. the report stated that these practices — involving transferring loans off of banks‘ books — constitute ―the most disconcerting trend fitch has observed in china‘s banking sector in recent years.‖
the problem is complicated by chinas socialist-market approach to tweaking its economy.
instead of using interest rates as the brake and gas pedal of economic growth, beijing regulates its economy by upping or decreasing the amount of loans that banks can issue. thats fine when it works. but its also a risky strategy,
particularly when transparency is difficult to come by, as is often the case in china.
so, clearly, the situation bears close watching as both moodys and fitch indicate.
