US, China set to grapple with currency, trade concerns
AFP, Washington
President Barack Obama's economic pointman makes his first trip to China in the coming week as Washington moves to address persistent currency, trade and invest ment concerns dogging the two powers.
TYcasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will be in Beijing June 1-2 to meet senior Chinese officials for discussions on "a range of issues of importance to both countries," his office said.
No details of the trip have been provided so far but analysts say Geithner will have to grapple with a plethora of issues, ranging from US suspicion China is manipulating its currency for trade gains to Beijing openly questioning the US dollar's special status as the leading global currency.
China has also publicly expressed concerns over the safety of its huge US bond investment holdings worth nearly 800 billion dollars as the United States sinks deeper into debt and the greenback gets hammered.
Obama came into office promising to talk tough with China on a range of issues, including complaints from Congress that China's manipulation of its yuan currency was fueling the US trade deficit with the Asian giant.
Against the difficulties facing the recession-hit US and the relatively bearish economic environment in the other industrialized nations, Washington appears likely to take a soft approach with China, which remains the top growth driver, analysts said.
GM may use Chrysler playbook in bankruptcy
Af P, Washington
General Motors is likely to take a page from Chrysler’s playbook in an expected bankruptcy that tests a legal strategy for a quick restructuring with heavy government backing, analysts said.
GM, which faces a June 1 deadline from the US government to come up with a viability plan or face a cutoff of aid, is widely expected to follow rival Chrysler into bankruptcy and use a similar plan to emerge leaner and more competitive.
Yet the two companies could still face legal hurdles and loud objections from the financial sector in a test for the plan by President Barack Obama's administration to save the two automakers critical to the US economy, say analysts.
"I think GM will learn a lot from the Chrysler bankruptcy," said one bankruptcy attorney, who asked to remain anonymous, but is familiar with the Chrysler case and represents auto industry clients.
"I would expect GM to file in the same court. The fast track was adopted by the bankruptcy court and it is key to GM as it was for Chrysler."
Japan to relax arms export ban
AFP, Tokyo
Japan has decided to relax its self-imposed ban on arms exports to allow more joint development and production of weapons with other nations, a report said Sunday.
The new measure would "enable shipments to countries with which Japan co-develops arms," said the Nikkei newspaper without citing sources.
"The move is aimed at reducing procurement costs and stimulating the domestic defence industry by promoting joint development and production of key arms, such as next-generation fighter jets, with the US and Europe," it said.
By taking a more active role in US or European military development programmes, Japan hopes to reduce the purchasing cost of major equipment such as jets, the Nikkei said.
Tokyo however would continue to prohibit arms exports to nations that are state sponsors of terrorism, violate the human rights of their citizens or lack sufficient controls over arms sales, the Nikkei said.
Iran presidential hopeful vows to cut inflation
AFP, Tehran
Iranian presidential hopeful Mir Hossein Mousavi aims to slice inflation to a single digit if he is elected in next month's vote, according to his economic manifesto released on Sunday.
The economy of energy- rich Iran is reeling under inflation of about 25 percent which economists blame on incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's expansionistpolicies.
Mousavi's economic programme, unveiled in the former premier's newly launched newspaper Kalameh Sabz (Green Word) ahead of the June 12 presidential election, described inflation as a "chronic illness."
"We need to reduce inflation to a single digit," it said.
In a direct criticism of Ahmadinejad's policies, the manifesto said the OPEC member's oil revenues should not be distributed in the form of cash to the people but must help "create jobs and industrial units that can increase production "
