Bernanke: Recovery fragile
A1P, Washington
Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke on Monday tamped down speculation that essentially zero interest rates were set to rise, saying the US recovery from recession remains fragile.
"Though we have begun to see some improvement in economic activity, we still have some way to go before we can be assured that the recovery will be self-sustaining," Bernanke said in a speech to the Economic Club of Washington.
Bernanke said the recovery faces "some formidable headwinds," particularly the weak jobs market and tight credit conditions.
"My best guess at this point is that we will continue to see modest economic growth next year -- sufficient to bring down the unemployment rate, but at a pace slower than we would like," he said.
As the economy crawls out of the deep recession that began in December 2007, a stronger-than-expected November jobs report Friday set markets abuzz with speculation that the Fed would order a rate hike sooner than previously anticipated.
Bernanke concentrated on the "headwinds" to growth in his comments, said Ian Shepherdson, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics.
"He does not sound to us like a man with his finger on the trigger, or indeed anywhere near it," Shepherdson said.
Indian car sales surge 61 pc
AFP, New Delhi
New car sales in India rose 61 percent year on year in November, helped by a low base level in 2008 and government stimulus to encourage spending, industry data showedTUesday.
The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SLAM), which issued the data, said total sales were 133,687 units as India s economy continues to pick up speed after the global financial crisis.
The vehicle market was extremely depressed last November, falling 20 percent from 2007 levels, during some of the worst moments in the crisis as stock markets plunged worldwide and consumer confidence dived.
Since then, the global economy generally and India's economy in particular has rebounded, helped by vast government stimulus packages and low interest rates that have encouraged investment and spending.
"We will have to see the actual scene when and if the government withdraws the stimulus packages," said SIAM director Sugato Sen.
Recent growth data has led to speculation that the government and central bank will withdraw stimulus measures sooner rather than later, though Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has insisted the recovery must take root.
Taiwan opposition says China pact may cost 1.6m jobs
AFP, Taipei
Taiwan's opposition leader on Tuesday said a planned trade pact with China could cost the island 1.6 million jobs, insisting on a referendum on the controversial agreement.
Tsai Ing-wen made the statement after her Democratic Progressive Party, which favours independence from China, gained ground in local elections at the expense of the Beijing-friendly Kuomintang party.
Tn the agricultural and industrial sectors, up to four million people may see their employment opportunities influenced, and 1.6 million people may actually lose their jobs," she told reporters.
"We insist that any major China issues related to our sovereignty and the people's interest should be decided by the people."
The party has previously warned that once Taiwan opens its market to Chinese products without restrictions, many local firms may lose out to lower-priced main -land counterparts with cheaper production and manpowercosts.
Kuwait parliament ratifies Gulf monetary union pact AFP, Kuwait City
Kuwait's parliament unanimously ratified a Gulf monetary union pact on Tuesday as the emirate's foreign minister said the launch of a single regional currency could take a decade.
The pact, signed by four members of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in June, stipulates the establishment of a joint monetary council next year.
Under the scheme, the council is scheduled to develop into a GCC central bank, which would work to issue a single currency for the Gulf.
Following a brief debate, all 64 members of Kuwait's parliament, including the 16 cabinet ministers, approved the pact, which is expected to be approved by GCC leaders at their annual summit in Kuwait next week.
Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad al-Sabah told parliament the launch of the Gulf currency would take a very long period to materialise and that "could be as long as 10 years."
