An American in Paris, again

Tomorrow yet again an important G20 summit will kick off in Paris. It will be the third time in 5 weeks that Tim Geithner will visit the "old" continent. And his mission this time is no different, ie telling European policy makers to "move fast". Earlier this week, Geithner told Bloomberg Television that "the Europeans recognize ...

The "Power Elite" becomes worried

When people like George Soros speak, the world listens. It usually arouses attention on the issues of mega speculation : what is he buying or more importantly, what is he "shorting big time" this time ? Not this time. In fact, the recent interview of Soros in the run-up to the G-20 meeting next weekend is unveiling the thoughts of ...

Een te groot voorschot op de toekomst

Elk argument om te verkopen is een goed argument. Zo was het ook vandaag en gisteren hoewel de marktreaktie vrij laat kwam. Het argument dat souvereine schuld een acuut probleem is, staat al langer in de sterren geschreven. Het jammere is echter dat in onze huidige media wereld, “alle dieren gelijk zijn, het ene wat meer dan het ...

G-20 interactive from the WSJ

It strikes me that the US is in the process of building up a larger public debt pile than Belgium. Notice the difference between the US (growing public debt) and Argentina (declining), they are trading places.

The IMF will have to save the world

The G-20 summit has created some enthusiasm, and that is a succes on its own. I am skeptical about the real effecets of such a short gathering of world leaders from 20 different countries and regions. They have probably taken more time to shake hands than to discuss the systemic failures of the financial system, and the ongoing ...

G-20 will be about S2B

For those who have read "Econoshock", S2B should ring a bell. S2B stands for "Siamese Twin Bubbles". It is about China and the US, and their close symbiosis. Now that things are turning sour, the G-20 has to think about orderly seperating the Twins. Any measure for the US will have consequences for China and vice versa. This ...

Developed = (debt) rich?

I was looking at the chart from 'The Economist' on public debt of selected G20 countries. The trend is scary. On the other hand, the difference between developed and emerging markets is not a qualitative one. Emerging countries have often better economic fundamentals than the developed. Quite a difference with the recessions over ...

Dep-re(ce)ssion

De G20-top was minder negatief dan de pers en beleggers laten uitschijnen. Akkoord, uitgedrukt in dollar of euro waren de resultaten weinig tastbaar. Na enkele weekends waar de miljarden ons om de oren vlogen, was het even afkicken ...Maar er waren zeker positieve punten: Deelname van de 10 belangrijkste 'emerging ...
