Lagarde Favors Less Strict Trade Policies

 

The stricter protectionist trade measures slows down the current frail economy not only in United States but including other countries as said by the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde. She described it as an “economic malpractice”. Restricting trades would worsen the status of workers and families.

 

It has pros and cons for members of trades but considering present weak economy and bigoted politics, an open trading is more advantageous to all. However, if the trade policies are neglected, the opportunity for progress is lessened since global economy still needs it to drive growth.

Weak Trades in China Slows Down Economic Growth

 

The exports and imports in China fell short of expectations as it dropped by 10% and 1.9% respectively in US dollars. This was triggered by a weak demand both domestically and internationally affected by the price hike in oil. Although in China’s perspective this became an advantage with higher returns. For analysts this is a sign for a slow growth in the economy but it is still inconclusive to say unless there is another substantial report that confirms slow development.

However, the deputy Governor of People’s Bank of China (PBOC) said that there is no grounds for a relentless decline and they stopped it from happening.

 

China is giving off signs that the currency is being carefully monitored and investors should be careful in their trading positions against the currency. Despite this information, this would have much of an impact considering past connotations to the problem since the driving force is the appreciation of dollar.

 

The PBOC is saying if volatility arises, investors should not be agitated as they would definitely do something to stabilize the situation. China has already eased the local bonds and abandoned the necessity for inbound investment program quotas.

Better Global Economic Standing Despite Rise in Unemployment Rate

 

Recent data showed a 3% growth but this was because of short-term fleeting factors. The unemployment rate stayed low while the underemployment and long-term unemployment has increased with weakened nominal wage and inflation. This is in contrast of unemployment rates released by IMF saying that it increased were majority part-time.

 

Australia's economic status is performing better than other countries and it would get stronger if there will be more investments and invigorate business confidence. However if the investments remained subtle, company earnings would be affected and be in tension. Also, the consumer consumption would stay low if the job earnings would not increase.

 

The RBA should keep interest rate slow and maximize infrastructure spending to increase in employment rates in current global economic environment.
