			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States (U.S.) economic  in 2010 grew the fastest over the past five recent years. According U.S. Department of Commerce, economic expansion was triggered state condition which is recovering from recession and fears of a double-dip recession that decreases. </p>
<p>Over the past year, the U.S. economy grew 2.9 percent, better than the 2009 that only 2.6 percent. Meanwhile, quarterly, the U.S. economy period September-December 2010 grew 3.2 percent over the same period of 2009. </p>
<p>U.S. economic expansion in the last three months of last year fueled consumer spending rising by 4.4% . Meanwhile exports rose 8.5 percent. Other factors that support U.S. growth is the property sector which grew a surprisingly strong 3.4 percent as consumer demand to build new homes.<br />
<span id="more-1736"></span><br />
Economic adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama : Austan Goolsbee said data gross domestic product (GDP) as a sign that the economy continues to gain momentum, after recovering from its worst recession since the Great Depression in the 1930s. &#8220;We were on the right path, but still much work to be done to accelerate growth so that we create the jobs we need,&#8221; he said as quoted by AFP. </p>
<p>However, the prospect of spending, income, and exports from the United States does not necessarily make the expectations of economists raise Uncle Sam&#8217;s economic projections. This is because the problem of unemployment is still high but eased to 9.4 percent in December. </p>
<p>&#8220;The main concern is the growth potential is too weak to stimulate the increase in job creation to reduce unemployment itself, but at least the GDP data are now taking steps in the right direction,&#8221; says Markit chief economist Chris Williamson. </p>
<p>Another analyst, Brian Jones, from Societe Generale said this year base needed for growth is to create a healthy economy with welfare. White House itself said the government would continue to try and encourage a mix it. According to Goolsbee, the government will focus on helping investment, increase employment opportunities, including investing in education and infrastructure. &#8220;We also want to promote exports to other countries,&#8221; said Goolsbee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The strong economy and credit performance of emerging market countries in Asia in the face of global crisis, is expected to face the pressure of the medium-term risk of loose monetary policies of developed countries.</p>
<p>Fitch Ratings, the international rating agencies, the report specifically assess the risk exposure ratings in the region indicates the region with a lower credit rating would be more vulnerable to exposure to the global monetary risk.</p>
<p>Head of Asia Pacific, Fitch Ratings Andrew Colquhoun said nine of the 11 emerging market countries in Asia have a relationship with the U.S. dollar exchange rate and the expected Fed policy more and more loose.<span id="more-1727"></span></p>
<p>As a result, countries with a worse track record about price stability, monetary situation that has been loose, and weak financial systems will be more prone to risk of monetary easing in developed countries.</p>
<p>&#8220;Indonesia and China looks relatively more exposed compared with the strong impression of their ratings, reflecting the situation of Indonesia&#8217;s high inflation and financial market volatility is thin,&#8221; he said in a report today.</p>
<p>China, he added, also relatively exposed to catch up too high credit growth in the real sector, as part of economic stimulus since the global financial crisis surfaced. Similarly with capital controls in the country.</p>
<p>Policies to strengthen capital controls currently on the agenda in several countries, including Thailand and South Korea, indicating the amount of pressure they faced, though Fitch to assess the policy was not cost you a little suck.</p>
<p>Fitch assess a country with low credit ratings, such as Mongolia (B) and Vietnam (B) are in the ranks of the most risky, while Taiwan (A) be the least affected nations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Asian heads of state level in the Asean Summit in Hanoi this week is expected to urge China to accelerate the strengthening of the yuan to protect their economies.</p>
<p>Trade policy is scheduled to dominate the agenda of the meeting which will take place on October 28 to 30 it. This summit will be interspersed East Asia Summit that will bring the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the United States Hillary Clinton, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and leaders from Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Russia, and 10 members of Asean.</p>
<p>&#8220;China will be more willing to hear the Asean than the U.S. and Japan. It is very sensitive [to China] when considered as a force that threatens the countries are smaller,&#8221; said Chalongphob Sussangkarn, Thailand&#8217;s former finance minister who is now a fellow at the Thailand Development Research Institute.<br />
<span id="more-1725"></span><br />
The Finance Minister and central bank governors of the G-20 forum members to end its meeting in South Korea last weekend by claiming the promise against competitive devaluation. According to Chalongphob, if the currency of member countries of Asean and China rose by a similar movement, the concern will be reduced.</p>
<p>China has let the yuan rose about 2% since the central bank (People&#8217;s Bank of China / PBOC) in June said it would make the yuan more flexible. Panda Affairs argued that the appreciation is not done gradually, will cause social and economic turmoil in his country.<!--more--></p>
<p>This year, the yen has gained around 14.8% against the U.S. dollar, the baht rose approximately 11.6% and 10.7% Malaysian ringgit. U.S. central bank Federal Reserve has weakened the U.S. dollar by buying more assets to cope with unemployment and low inflation.</p>
<p>Strengthening the yuan is limited and a weak dollar pushed some countries such as South Korea, Brazil, and Thailand to take steps to weaken its currency to maintain export competitiveness.</p>
<p>&#8220;They have to discuss cooperation, integration, issues unresolved, such as currency values. One country alone can not help,&#8221; said Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan in Tokyo some time ago.</p>
<p>Bloomberg data shows China is ASEAN&#8217;s largest trading partner with total trade balance reached U.S. $ 211.31 billion in first 9 months of this year, an increase of 43.7% over the same period last year.</p>
<p>&#8220;Strengthening the yuan is slowly Southeast Asia have also been disturbing,&#8221; added Chalongphob.</p>
<p>Pressure joint</p>
<p>Johanna Chua, Head of Economic Research Citigroup Inc. in Hong Kong, said that China would soften to accelerate the strengthening of the yuan, more countries need to put pressure together.</p>
<p>&#8220;Part of the reason why they do not give the pressure is because of all the parties intervening in the market. It&#8217;s hard to make people agree,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The threat of a wave of protectionism in the form of capital control policies that can reduce trade performance has triggered the world&#8217;s leaders to seek a global agreement at the G-20 summit in Seoul next month.</p>
<p>However, any agreement about the currency in Asia has complicated diplomatic dispute between China and Japan, after the incident boat collision in disputed waters last month. Chinese fishing boat captain arrested Japanese patrol.</p>
<p>&#8220;The incident was very disturbing relations between the two countries,&#8221; said Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Hu Zhengyao last week. He considered the meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan and Wen Jiabao in Hanoi will require the right conditions and mood.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Kan urged China and South Korea to take responsible steps in the forex market, which then led to complaints from both countries.</p>
<p>Market interventions by the State Sakura to weaken the yen sparked criticism from some U.S. politicians and European authorities. South Korea is considering a number of policies, including banking taxes or levies on financial transactions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.georgiainvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/us-budget-deficit.jpeg" alt="us-budget-deficit" title="us-budget-deficit" width="269" height="188" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1721" />United States Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates for fiscal year 2011 budget deficit will reach U.S. $ 1.066 trillion, equivalent to 7% of gross domestic product (GDP).</p>
<p>For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the budget deficit was estimated to exceed U.S. $ 1.3 trillion, equivalent to 9.1% of GDP. Deficit in 2010 will become the second largest in the last 65 years, after last year touched 9.9% of GDP.</p>
<p>&#8220;We estimate that the cumulative deficit for a decade ahead will reach U.S. $ 6.27 trillion, up from the March forecast of U.S. $ 5.99 trillion,&#8221; the CBO wrote in his official website yesterday.</p>
<p>CBO estimates made no account of changes in tax receipts or government spending that has not been approved by Congress. CBO uses the assumption of tax reductions in this decade and will expire at the end of 2010.<span id="more-1720"></span></p>
<p>Another assumption used is that no new regulation that maintains the alternative tax policy (AMT). Moreover, the effects of fiscal stimulus enacted last two years will be exhausted and the real annual inflation rate remained constant.</p>
<p>With a number of assumptions, the budget deficit will decrease significantly during the two years ahead until you reach the level of 4.2% of GDP in 2012. The economy is expected to grow by only 2% from quarter to quarter IV/2011 IV/2010.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the unemployment rate will not decrease until the end of the range of 5% until 2014. In 2011, unemployment is projected to reach the level of 9%, and 8.1% in 2012 and 6.6% in 2013.</p>
<p>According to CBO Director Doug Elmendorf, given projections have not changed significantly since March. He insisted the U.S. economy is still struggling to recover from the recession and the impact of the bailout and other spending that is designed to spur growth.</p>
<p>&#8220;The United States facing budget problems are acute and serious economic problems as well,&#8221; he said as quoted by Bloomberg.</p>
<p>Vincent Reinhart, American Enterprise Institute analyst who is also former director of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s monetary affairs, assessing deficit and debt problems which will make it very big government and Congress to disburse the second phase of a stimulus package.</p>
<p>&#8220;If fiscal stimulus is not launched the second phase, so stay depends on the monetary stimulus. It&#8217;s just that, with interest rates approaching 0%, meaning that there needs to be quantitatively loosening of monetary policy in other forms, &#8220;he explained.</p>
