Structural Reforms needed to Grow Faster

The outlook for 2014 is dampened by longer-term constraints as well. Indeed, there is a looming risk of secular stagnation in many advanced economies, owing to the adverse effect on productivity growth of years of under-investment in human and physical capital.

And the structural reforms that these economies need to boost their potential growth will be implemented too slowly.

CHINA -- The Biggest Geopolitical Risk of our Time

The biggest geopolitical risk of our times is not a conflict between Israel and Iran over nuclear proliferation. Nor is it the risk of chronic disorder in an arc of instability that now runs from the Maghreb all the way to the Hindu Kush. It is not even the risk of cold war II between Russia and the west over Ukraine.

All of these are serious risks, of course; but none is as serious as the challenge of sustaining the peaceful character of China's rise. That is why it is particularly disturbing to hear Japanese and Chinese officials and analysts compare the countries' bilateral relationship to that between Britain and Germany on the eve of the first world war.

The disputes between China and several of its neighbours over disputed islands and maritime claims (starting with the conflict with Japan) are just the tip of the iceberg. As China becomes an even greater economic power, it will become increasingly dependent on shipping routes for its imports of energy, other inputs, and goods. This implies the need to develop a blue-water navy to ensure that China's economy cannot be strangled by a maritime blockade.

Roubini Bullish on South Korea, Malaysia, Phillipines, HK, Singapore

  There are plenty of emerging market economies that have good market fundamentals and international policies.

In Asia, we particularly like South Korea, but even countries like Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong or Singapore are solid.

In Europe, countries like Greece that are covered by the recovery in the eurozone could be attractive, or countries like Poland and the Czech Republic can be good economic opportunities as well.

The US court decision is dangerous for two reasons

The US court decision is dangerous for two reasons. First, the court ruled for the first time that a country cannot continue to pay those creditors who accepted a big reduction (or "haircut") on their claims until the holdouts are paid in full. So, why would any future creditor who benefits from an orderly restructuring vote for it if its new claims can be blocked by even a single holdout creditor? more @ http://www.cnbc.com/id/101807441

China wont crash in 2014

China will maintain an annual growth rate above 7% in 2014. But, despite the reforms set out by the Third Plenum of the Communist Party's Central Committee, the shift in China's growth model from fixed investment toward private consumption will occur too slowly.
Many vested interests, including local governments and state-owned enterprises, are resisting change; a huge volume of private and public debt will go sour; and the country's leadership is divided on how quickly reforms should be implemented. So, while China will avoid a hard landing in 2014, its medium-term prospects remain worrisome.

Boom Bubbles & Busts are normal part of The Markets

Nouriel Roubini on the Economic Crisis

 NOURIEL ROUBINI: Popularly known as Dr. Doom, which was the title of a profile in The New York Times Magazine in August of 2008, Dr. Nouriel Roubini is known for his now-vindicated predictions of the current financial crisis. He speaks on the global economic outlook and its implications for financial markets and was named to Fortune Magazine's list of "10 new gurus you should know". Nouriel Roubini is a Professor of Economics and International Business at New York University Stern School of Business. He was also the Senior Economist for International Affairs at the White House Council of Economic Advisers from 1998-1999; then, the Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary for International Affairs and the Director of the Office of Policy Development and Review at the U.S. Treasury Department from 1999- 2000. He is the cofounder and Chairman of RGE Monitor, an innovative economic and geo-strategic information service with 30 economists on staff. With Robert J. Shiller, he contributes to a series for Project Syndicate called Finance in the 21st Century. He also maintains a blog at RGE Monitor. He is the co-author of the book, "Political Cycles: Theory and Evidence." In his latest book Crisis Economics: A Crash Course In The Future of Finance, Roubini argues that the United States must use the recent crisis as an opportunity to make deep and meaningful reforms to its financial system. His book, Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Economies, (with Brad Setser), was published by the Institute for International Economics in 2004.

6 Things that worry Nouriel Roubini

CNN — NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The economist known as Dr. Doom sounds relatively optimistic these days.
Nouriel Roubini says many of the risks to the global economy have abated and things are looking up.
Thanks to bold moves by the world's central banks, global economic growth this year should be closer to 2% rather than the "anemic" 1% of the past few years, Roubini said at an event hosted by Aberdeen Asset Management in New York.
But -- and there's always a but -- Roubini has a list of six things he believes could derail the economic recovery. It's worth remembering that Roubini correctly predicted the housing crisis and ensuing financial crash in 2008.
1. China headed for a bumpy landing. While he doesn't believe China is at risk of a crash, Roubini says growth in the world's second largest economy will probably "surprise to the downside."

The International System for orderly Sovereign-Debt restructuring may be broken

Like individuals, corporations, and other private firms that rely on bankruptcy procedures to reduce an excessive debt burden, countries sometimes need orderly debt restructuring or reduction. But the ongoing legal saga of Argentina’s fight with holdout creditors shows that the international system for orderly sovereign-debt restructuring may be broken.
Individuals, firms, or governments may end up with too much debt because of bad luck, bad decisions, or a combination of the two. If you get a mortgage but then lose your job, you have bad luck. If your debt becomes unsustainable because you borrowed too much to take long vacations or buy expensive appliances, your bad behavior is to blame. The same applies to corporate firms: some have bad luck and their business plans fail, while others borrow too much to pay their mediocre managers excessively.
Bad luck and bad behavior (policies) can also lead to unsustainable debt burdens for governments. If a country’s terms of trade (the price of its exports) deteriorate and a large recession persists for a long time, its government’s revenue base may shrink and its debt burden may become excessive. But an unsustainable debt burden may also result from borrowing to spend too much, failure to collect sufficient taxes, and other policies that undermine the economy’s growth potential.

Countries had to rely on a Market-based approach to resolve excessive Debt Problems

Because a formal bankruptcy regime for governments does not exist (though Anne Krueger, the International Monetary Fund’s then-deputy managing director, proposed one more than a decade ago), countries have had to rely on a market-based approach to resolve excessive debt problems. Following this approach, the country offers to exchange old bonds for new bonds with a lower face value and/or lower interest payments and longer maturities. If most investors accept this offer, the restructuring occurs successfully.
But this implies a key problem: Whereas a bankruptcy court can force holdout creditors to accept the exchange offer as long as a significant majority of creditors have already done so (a so-called “cram down”), the market-based approach allows some creditors to continue to hold out and sue to be paid in full. - in www.project-syndicate.org

Gouging the Gauchos

NEW YORK – Like individuals, corporations, and other private firms that rely on bankruptcy procedures to reduce an excessive debt burden, countries sometimes need orderly debt restructuring or reduction. But the ongoing legal saga of Argentina’s fight with holdout creditors shows that the international system for orderly sovereign-debt restructuring may be broken.

Individuals, firms, or governments may end up with too much debt because of bad luck, bad decisions, or a combination of the two. If you get a mortgage but then lose your job, you have bad luck. If your debt becomes unsustainable because you borrowed too much to take long vacations or buy expensive appliances, your bad behavior is to blame. The same applies to corporate firms: some have bad luck and their business plans fail, while others borrow too much to pay their mediocre managers excessively.

Bad luck and bad behavior (policies) can also lead to unsustainable debt burdens for governments. If a country’s terms of trade (the price of its exports) deteriorate and a large recession persists for a long time, its government’s revenue base may shrink and its debt burden may become excessive. But an unsustainable debt burden may also result from borrowing to spend too much, failure to collect sufficient taxes, and other policies that undermine the economy’s growth potential.

When the debt burden of an individual, firm, or government is too high, legal systems need to provide orderly ways to reduce it to a more sustainable level (closer to the debtor’s potential income). If it is too easy to default and reduce one’s debt burden, the result is moral hazard, because debtors gain an incentive to indulge in bad behavior. But if it is too difficult to restructure and reduce debts when bad luck leads to unsustainable debts, the result is bad for both the debtor and its creditors, who are better off when a reduced debt ratio is serviced than when a debtor defaults.

Nouriel Roubini | The Great Global Backlash

Anaemic economic recovery has given populist parties an opening to blame foreign trade and foreign workers
by Nouriel Roubini

In the immediate aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, policymakers’ success in preventing the Great Recession from turning into Great Depression II held in check demands for protectionist and inward-looking measures. But now the backlash against globalization—and the freer movement of goods, services, capital, labour, and technology that came with it—has arrived. This new nationalism takes different economic forms: trade barriers, asset protection, reaction against foreign direct investment, policies favouring domestic workers and firms, anti-immigration measures, state capitalism, and resource nationalism. In the political realm, populist, anti-globalization, anti-immigration, and in some cases outright racist and anti-Semitic parties are on the rise. These forces loath the alphabet soup of supra-national governance institutions—EU (European Union), UN (United Nations), WTO (World Trade Organization), and IMF (International Monetary Fund), among others—that globalization requires. Even the Internet, the epitome of globalization for the past two decades, is at risk of being balkanized as more authoritarian countries—including China, Iran, Turkey, and Russia—seek to restrict access to social media and crack down on free expression.

The Benefits Of The U.S. Oil Production Boom

"The domestic benefits of the U.S. oil production boom are well documented — everything from the creation of high-paying jobs to sending less money to foreign oil producers.
Less well appreciated are the geopolitical benefits. U.S. oil production has already paid foreign policy dividends in at least one vital area: It has paved the way for stronger sanctions on Iran by helping to keep the global oil market well-supplied and minimizing oil price volatility.

This development is timely and instructive."
