Rubini : Even China is showing signs of a slowdown

Even China is showing signs of a slowdown, owing to the government's attempts to control economic overheating. The slowdown in advanced economies, together with a weaker euro, will further dent Chinese growth, bringing its 11-per-cent-plus growth rate towards 7 per cent by the end of this year.
This is bad news for export growth in the rest of Asia and among commodity-rich countries, which increasingly rely on Chinese imports. An important victim will be Japan, where anaemic real income growth is depressing domestic demand and exports to China sustain what little growth there is. Japan also suffers from low potential growth, owing to a lack of structural reforms and weak and ineffective governments (four prime ministers in four years), a large stock of public debt, unfavourable demographic trends and a strong yen that gets stronger during bouts of global risk aversion.

Roubini Says Cautious China to Limit Yuan Gain to 4%

March 8 (Bloomberg) -- China will limit the yuan’s appreciation to 4 percent over the next 12 months because of a “super cautious” outlook on the global economy, said New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini.

The central bank may end a 20-month peg to the dollar as soon as the second quarter, allowing a 2 percent one-step gain, and then let the currency strengthen another 1 percent to 2 percent in 12 months, Roubini said in an interview in New York. The yuan rose 21 percent between July 2005 and July 2008, when the government halted its advance to protect exports.
