Davos Annual Meeting 2010 - What Is the "New Normal" for Global Growth?

http://www.weforum.org 27.01.2010
Despite an upward revision of the International Monetary Fund's most recent World Economic Outlook, average real GDP growth of the global economy over the next five years is expected to be less than that of the five years (2003-2007) before the crisis.

In partnership with Time magazine, industry leaders, economists and policy-makers rethink the "new normal" for key economies going forward.

Born to Iranian Jewish parents, Roubini moved with his family to Iran and Israel before they settled in Italy in 1962. After a year at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he studied economics at Bocconi University in Milan (B.A., 1982) and Harvard University (Ph.D., 1988), where he specialized in macroeconomics and international economics. He joined the economics faculty at Yale University in 1988 and taught there until 1995, when he moved to New York University. He also served as a visiting scholar to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), was a research associate with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), held single-year terms on the White House Council of Economic Advisers (1998–99) and at the U.S. Department of the Treasury (1999–2000), and cofounded (2004) the consulting firm Roubini Global Economics.

He determined that each shared one common element: a massive current account deficit.(www.britannica.com)
