The global economy is slowing down. What can governments do about it?

[imawhosure]

Oh, and by the way, if you really believe we are heading for a recession; and hey, you might be correct...………….why would we want to allow illegals in here to take jobs we won't have? It makes no logical sense, does it?

Even in recession times, white people still don't want to do those jobs...

Look, I realize you need to hate brown folks to give your life meaning, but this is a separate problem to the damage Trump has done to the world economy.

Sigh, another Leftist who needs to play the race card.

Little does this Leftist know, my heritage is Mexican, lol!

 

[sparky]

If the US/China trade talks produce something positive and soon, you'll see a clear and significant improvement across the spectrum.

If they don't, we'll cycle back down to a slow growth or recessionary period, which is perfectly normal. While there is still a lot of shit in the system, nothing is broken, as it was in 2008. It will be the natural breathing of markets. The partisan zombies can make of it what they will, that's what they do.
.

What was broken in '08?

'08 was a natural breathing of the unregulated market.

In a way, yes.

Under-regulated, though, not unregulated.
.

Gub'Mit's only role in the market is to create a level playing field

Which is the crux of economic issues many countries endure

The Trump slump is coming loaded with lots of Trumpery, lies and perverted reality.

Donald Trump has damaged the world economy which was headed for boom times before Trump started his trade war. Donald Trump's tariffs have only forced up prices for US consumers and importers.

It appears that the USA GDP growth is headed towards 2% or less and is likely to fall further as the world economy weakens. A sharp pullback in manufacturing was observed in January.

The US is in a bad state to stave off a recession in case the economy declines that far. Economist Paul Krugman has predicted a US recession around 2020.

This is a consequence of Trump decision making from his gut because his brain is not competent in economic analysis.

"Spending by American consumers in December was weak, but perhaps of more significance was the sharp pull-back in manufacturing in January, which fits with a picture of declining factory output elsewhere. In the winter of 2008, crashing industrial production and a contraction in trade flows were signs of the depth of the global slump."

Central banks are getting twitchy. On average, recessions have come along once a decade since the mid-1970s and the nadir of the last downturn occurred almost a decade ago.

The Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman has predicted that there will be a recession in America by the time Donald Trump comes up for re-election at the end of next year.

The darkening outlook for global growth is putting pressure on the US president to resolve his trade dispute with China. When the White House announced its first tranche of protectionist measures almost a year ago, hopes were high that the world economy had at last shrugged off the long hangover from the financial crisis and deep slump of 2008-09. In the months before Trump went toe-to-toe with China’s president, Xi Jinping, it was expanding strongly and the International Monetary Fund was talking about a synchronised upturn. A year later – and with the 1 March deadline for a fresh round of US tariffs fast approaching – the mood has changed. All of which raises three big questions:

1. What is happening to the global economy?

Official statistics in the US have been delayed as a result of the federal government shutdown, but when the figures for growth in the fourth quarter of 2018 are finally released this week, they are expected to show that the world’s biggest economy has joined in a slowdown that is affecting Europe, China and a slew of other strategically important countries.

If the second half of 2018 provided isolated evidence that global growth had peaked, the data since the turn of the year has been unambiguous: all of the world’s major economies look weaker than they did 12 months ago. Britain grew by just 0.2% in the final three months of 2018, as did the eurozone. And Italy is suffering its fifth recession in two decades.

Spending by American consumers in December was weak, but perhaps of more significance was the sharp pull-back in manufacturing in January, which fits with a picture of declining factory output elsewhere. In the winter of 2008, crashing industrial production and a contraction in trade flows were signs of the depth of the global slump. Ominously, both are again weak. ...

Get the fucking governments out of the fucking way, and let the economies do what economies do, make profits. When you have mother fucking government officials stealing from the people so they can pad the pockets of their liberal buddies, it must come from someone else. That is called cronyism. What President Trump is doing, is bringing economic prosperity to everyone. Unless you are like the OP who must be a welfare queen/queer, who is a victim of the last administration...

If Trump's bullshit was 'prosperity' the Deplorables would be on a caviar and champagne diet instead of the reality of a fast food diet.

It will be the natural breathing of markets. The partisan zombies can make of it what they will, that's what they do.
.

What?

There is NOTHING NATURAL about what the world's central banks have been doing to the economies of the world over the last 10+ years.

If you look at this chart and think things are 'perfectly normal' - than I pity those people whose money you (supposedly) look after.

And please save the 'it's doing this because of all the money printing'? Because that is wrong. The money supply is not growing remotely fast enough to explain the above chart.
In fact, from 1998 to 2008 - the M2 money supply grew at a higher percentage then 2008-2018. So that ends the old 'it's the money printing' excuse.

And the above is just one of many indicators that the economies are COMPLETELY dependent on low interest rates, central bank stimuli and large, fiscal deficits.
In other words - macroeconomic fundamentals have gone RIGHT out the window.

If you think otherwise - and I assume you do - than you have NO IDEA what is going on right now. Though, many people in your (supposed) line of work are remarkably clueless about macroeconomics - so why should you be any different? Heck, even the Fed have shown time and again how utterly useless they are at anything but bean counting and coming up with new ways to 'artificially' prop up the economy.

But in your (supposed) line of work - your job is more about reassuring your investors to 'stay-the-course' as much as actually wisely investing their monies. Hell, all an idiot investor has to do - so long as the Fed is all in - is buy some Spyders and sit back and rake it in. They don't need you or any other 'investment specialist' (if that is what you actually do). They just have to know when to get out.

Having said that, so long as central banks of the world are all in...this equity boom/GDP semi-stagnation will continue for a LONG time probably. So your (supposed) clients should do fine - for now.

And the wealth gap will continue to widen as it does.

Have a nice day.

Britain grew by just 0.2% in the final three months of 2018, as did the eurozone. And Italy is suffering its fifth recession in two decades.

Spending by American consumers in December was weak, but perhaps of more significance was the sharp pull-back in manufacturing in January, which fits with a picture of declining factory output elsewhere. In the winter of 2008, crashing industrial production and a contraction in trade flows were signs of the depth of the global slump. Ominously, both are again weak. ...

Get the fucking governments out of the fucking way, and let the economies do what economies do, make profits. When you have mother fucking government officials stealing from the people so they can pad the pockets of their liberal buddies, it must come from someone else. That is called cronyism. What President Trump is doing, is bringing economic prosperity to everyone. Unless you are like the OP who must be a welfare queen/queer, who is a victim of the last administration...

If Trump's bullshit was 'prosperity' the Deplorables would be on a caviar and champagne diet instead of the reality of a fast food diet.

I dont like caviar as it is too salty for me, but I do like a good steak, while under the Obummer economy that cost almost tripled, yet there was no inflation...Dumbass liberals fell for that hook, line and stinker...

Are you tired of not-winning yet?

The Trump slump is coming loaded with lots of Trumpery, lies and perverted reality.

Donald Trump has damaged the world economy which was headed for boom times before Trump started his trade war. Donald Trump's tariffs have only forced up prices for US consumers and importers.

It appears that the USA GDP growth is headed towards 2% or less and is likely to fall further as the world economy weakens. A sharp pullback in manufacturing was observed in January.

The US is in a bad state to stave off a recession in case the economy declines that far. Economist Paul Krugman has predicted a US recession around 2020.

This is a consequence of Trump decision making from his gut because his brain is not competent in economic analysis.

Central banks are getting twitchy. On average, recessions have come along once a decade since the mid-1970s and the nadir of the last downturn occurred almost a decade ago.

The Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman has predicted that there will be a recession in America by the time Donald Trump comes up for re-election at the end of next year.

The darkening outlook for global growth is putting pressure on the US president to resolve his trade dispute with China. When the White House announced its first tranche of protectionist measures almost a year ago, hopes were high that the world economy had at last shrugged off the long hangover from the financial crisis and deep slump of 2008-09. In the months before Trump went toe-to-toe with China’s president, Xi Jinping, it was expanding strongly and the International Monetary Fund was talking about a synchronised upturn. A year later – and with the 1 March deadline for a fresh round of US tariffs fast approaching – the mood has changed. All of which raises three big questions:

1. What is happening to the global economy?

The best thing for governments to do is to get the hell out of the way of the people

walls only get in the way of the People!

What's that got to do with the topic?

friction to our economy.

There is Ronny RayGun, spewing shit about the very problem he himself made EVEN WORSE.

Ronny RayGun = Father of the modern day exponential government deficit

poor ole Ronny could talk the talk BUT he could NOT walk the walk

Government spending matters. The right wing believe spending money is capitalism.

Sad you have to post what Krugman has to say about a recession, he was predicting one on election night when Trump won.
Our economy is doing nicely, what are you complaining about?
I'm sure a recession will be coming, they always do, it's the nature of economies ..ebb and flow.
Not because of Trump, though.
