How Much Can Trade with Pacific Rim Countries Help the U.S. Economic Recovery?
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Speaker: Dr. Michael Ivanovitch
Event Chair: Andy Shin, CFA
| In the first nine months of this year, net exports have contributed 1 percentage point to our economic growth. Without that modest support our economy received from trading with the rest of the world, our recession would have been deeper and more painful. That support is likely to strengthen in the months ahead as a result of a vigorous monetary and fiscal stimulation implemented by our major Asian and European trading partners. Pacific Rim countries, the fastest growing segment of the world economy, which account for more than half of our trade deficit, should contribute more to our economic recovery. That, however, will depend on how much the growing trade disputes and contentious security issues will give way to a more constructive relationship with some major economies in that region. At any rate, America’s ongoing trade adjustment is expected to enhance the effectiveness of its own measures to restore demand, output and employment. Drawing on his company’s research on world economy, geopolitics and investment strategy, Dr. Ivanovitch will focus on the U.S. transition to a steady and sustainable economic growth, and the implications that process will have for asset markets and asset classes here and abroad. |
