Ireland: the bailout starts with the banks

Ireland was the second country after Greece to be forced to accept financial assistance. However, from 1996 to 2007, Ireland's average annual economic growth rate of 7.2%, the miracle of continuous high growth, but also earned it the reputation of "Celtic Tiger". Now, the dramatic changes behind the hidden story, Ireland's current economic outlook and how? See the European debt crisis series of reports on the fifth episode of "Ireland: rescue from the bank to start"

Ireland into the debt crisis process, sorted out is not complicated. 2008 financial crisis led to the bursting of the Irish real estate bubble, the Irish banks are thus burdened with a huge amount of bad debt, have been in emergency. In order to maintain financial stability, the Irish government had to spend huge sums of money to bail out the country's banks, the bank's problems, "a shoulder to shoulder", which led to the financial burden. As a result, the debt crisis engulfed the once second richest country in Europe.

At the end of 2010, Ireland was forced to accept the European Union and the International Monetary Fund total of 85 billion euros (about 123 billion U.S. dollars) of the aid program, of which 35 billion euros for the rescue of the country's banking sector.

Concurrently, John Whelan, executive director of the Irish Exporters' Association

There is now a general indication that the bank restructuring is well under way. I think we've all noticed that we're handing over the banks' non-performing loan obligations to the State Asset Management Agency.

In order to rescue the country's banking sector, the Irish government announced in April 2009 that it was setting up a state-owned Asset Management Agency (AMA) to buy up non-performing loans in the banking sector at a discounted price and to boost the economic recovery.

At the end of 2010, the Irish government announced a four-year National Recovery Plan, in which the government will cut the fiscal deficit by €15 billion in the next four years, in order to reduce the deficit. The government will cut the fiscal deficit by 15 billion euros in the next four years to achieve the goal of controlling the fiscal deficit as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) to less than 3% by 2014, as required by the European Union.

Syn: John Whelan, Executive Director of the Irish Exporters' Association

All the signals show that we are gradually addressing the economy. The fiscal deficit as a percentage of GDP was likely to be 10.5 percent in 2011, as forecast, but it now looks likely to be lower. With the stimulus of rapid export growth in the rebuilding of the economy, we may be able to keep the fiscal deficit at 3 percent of GDP in 2011 as planned.

Explanation: Ireland's bailout of the banks seems to be all right, domestic confidence is gradually restored, but can not impress the international rating agencies. July 12, 2011, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the credit rating of the Irish government bonds to junk status, and maintains the outlook for the rating as negative. At the same time, the European debt crisis began to spread to Italy. Influenced by a combination of factors, Ireland's national debt depreciated sharply, whether the need for a second round of rescue became the focus of the market. Compared with the anxiety of the market, Ireland's domestic is very calm on this crisis, despite the cloud, still react positively.

Concurrently: John Whelan, executive director of the Irish Exporters' Association

In terms of growth rates, obviously we are not happy at the moment. 2009, GDP fell by 20 percentage points, but now GDP is growing again. We've stopped the situation from getting worse, so to speak, and we've struck a balance. We are forecasting a small increase in GDP this year, and rational growth next year, and continued growth the rest of the year. So for Ireland, receiving a second bailout is quite a long way off.

Explanation: Ireland, once called Europe's second-richest country by the New York Times, became Europe's largest deficit country at the end of 2010, the average family owes the bank 13.2 million euros, many people may not be able to pay off their debts for a lifetime, the bank has become the center of the vortex. The Irish government announced a four-year "National Recovery Plan" for the Irish economic reconstruction of specific measures, but the road to recovery in Ireland will go where, when the banking industry really revitalized, people can only wait and see.

U.S. Debt Ceiling Talks Deadline Approaching

The U.S. debt ceiling talks are coming to a head. With the United States to raise the debt ceiling "showdown" day is getting closer and closer, U.S. President Barack Obama on July 29 local time once again urged Congress to reach a bipartisan compromise on raising the U.S. debt ceiling, in order to avoid a U.S. default.

Obama again urged Congress to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling

Obama said in a statement at a White House press conference the same day, the United States defaulted because Washington did not have a "AAA political system to match". He said the U.S. was "almost out of time" on raising the debt ceiling. He called on the public to pressure members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to reach a bipartisan agreement as soon as possible.

According to the U.S. Treasury Department report, the U.S. federal government to May 16 this year has exceeded the statutory debt ceiling of $ 14.29 trillion, if Congress can not raise the debt ceiling before August 2, the financial will be "spent over", the U.S. government "technical" debt default will be "technical". "The debt default will become a reality.

The U.S. Congress continues to raise the debt ceiling on both sides of the intense wrestling

From the August 2 deadline is only 3 days left, the U.S. Congress around the two parties to raise the debt ceiling on July 30, wrestling is still in a stalemate.　Following the U.S. Congress, the Senate rejected the House of Representatives passed the day before to raise the debt ceiling and reduce the deficit after the bill, by the *** and the party held by the House of Representatives on July 30 to 246 votes to 173 votes, rejected by the Senate Democratic Leader Reid proposed program. So far there is still no sign of compromise between the two parties in the United States on the issue of raising the debt ceiling. The so-called debt default, in layman's terms, is defaulting on a debt, or failing to pay a debt. This is a normal phenomenon in commodity society. The U.S. debt ceiling negotiations have no more than two endings in the short term: default and non-default, but in either case, it seems that it will not be the perfect solution.

Default: damage to the global economy

Explanation: The consequences of a US default are self-evident. The U.S. is the world's largest economy, and U.S. Treasuries are globally recognized as one of the safest assets, the U.S. Treasury default, will directly harm the interests of U.S. debt holders, and more likely to make the global financial markets into a new turmoil, push up U.S. long-term interest rates, and even kill the still fragile economic recovery.

Concurrently, U.S. stockbroker Alan Valdez

This could really sweep the world. You could see a recession come back that could drag down the European economy, which is the problem right now. Emerging markets are not likely to be free of the debt problem either, and one might think they won't be affected, but in reality that's not going to happen. What happens now in New York, London or Paris is relevant to the whole world. Financial markets are highly globalized.

Not defaulting: the loss of US credit

The problem now is that even if there is no default, all is not necessarily well.

Representatives of the world's largest bond fund management company said that the United States this time, even if a debt agreement to escape default, but the U.S. government may still lose its AAA top credit rating. And S&P, Moody's and other rating agencies have also repeatedly and kindly warned recently that the U.S. rating will still be downgraded if the final bipartisan agreement is not enough to cut the deficit in the program.

SYNOPSIS: US stockbroker Alan Valdez

Eighty percent of the people on the New York Stock Exchange think there is some solution to the debt-ceiling crisis, but on the other hand, the US could lose its AAA credit rating. We think there's an 80 percent chance that's going to be the outcome. This would have a more profound effect on the economy than the debt ceiling issue itself. We are currently faced with two problems, and the impact of a credit downgrade on Americans is much greater than the impact of the debt issue.

Although it is a dilemma, there are still analysts who point out that the immediate priority for the United States is to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a debt default. And for the U.S. Congress, this has long been a familiar routine action. According to statistics, in the past 50 years, Congress has 78 times to make changes to the debt ceiling. After President Obama's tenure, Congress had also in February 2010 to raise the debt ceiling. But this time, the Obama administration has hit the nail on the head. This all stems from the entanglement of interests between the Democrats and the *** and party.

The interests of the two parties wrestle

A few days ago, the two parties put forward their respective new program. The main content of the *** and the party program is the "two-step", the first raise the debt ceiling of 1 trillion U.S. dollars, and then in February and March of next year to negotiate to raise the debt ceiling.

The Democratic Party's program is to raise the debt ceiling by 2.4 trillion dollars at a time, while reducing the deficit by 2.7 trillion dollars in ten years.

From the side of the ruling Democratic Party, the core demand is to make this debt ceiling in one step, raise it enough to support to the next year after the presidential election. And *** and the party's core demand is to set the debt ceiling as a major obstacle on the way to Obama's re-election.

Concurrently: Xinhua News Agency commentator Jin Jiu-chun

The first is that there is no disagreement between the two parties on reducing the U.S. deficit, and the disagreement lies in who will bear the cost of reducing the deficit

The second is related to next year's election. ***The first is to raise the debt ceiling for a short period of time, so that the debt problem can be used to put Obama on the spot before the election next November, and the Democrats certainly don't want to come back next year and toss it all over again.

Voice: immoral political farce can be rested

In the global market is extremely anxious about the impending impact of the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, the U.S. between the two parties still do not forget to pull each other's interests, this domestic political struggle to kidnap not only the U.S. economy as a whole, there are also prospects for the development of the world economy. So when the Americans are still criticizing Europe for failing to solve its own debt problems, the Financial Times editorial mocked that this criticism of the European countries, "very unfair". Because as the world's most influential economy, "this way in which the United States handles its own affairs is surprising, sad and unacceptable."

When the Asian financial turmoil hit, the emergence of the Greek crisis, the European sovereign debt crisis risk increases, the United States from the normal perspective of the creditors require the relevant countries to economic austerity, deficit reduction. But when the same problem occurs in their own body, into debtors, the United States is still accustomed to play the role of creditors. European media could not help but mock that this is "very unfair" to European countries.

This "political show" is also reminiscent of the U.S. government in the past often on the developing countries of some of the criticism, irresponsibility, inefficiency or institutional deficiencies, as well as the concern that these "problems" on the global drag. Now, ironically, these criticisms seem to be the United States, and because the future of the global economy is at stake, these issues are more alarming to the world.

Americans are annoyed, and rightly so, when they turn on their TVs at home and see the same old partisan farce. In fact, people around the world to see this farce is the same mood, people will have a deeper understanding of the current problems of the U.S. economy, but also on the U.S. political direction, foreign policy, and even its "leadership" to produce more and more skepticism. This cliff edge show not only kidnapped the world economy, but also spoiled their own credibility. Washington's immoral political farce can be put to rest!

Cameroon activates mining police to protect gold resources

In mid-July, Cameroon's "Operation Gold" consolidation team was formally established in the Eastern Region. The consolidation team will be in the eastern region of the five gold production mines to carry out a major inspection operation, aimed at Cameroon's national gold production of more than 70% of the scope of control of the government to increase Cameroon's gold reserves in the Bank of Central African States.

According to Cameroon geologists, gold mines in the eastern part of Cameroon are widely distributed and shallowly buried. Some places to dig open the surface soil two or three meters deep is the sand layer containing gold. Local residents have been digging gold by hand for generations. As a result of informal production and circulation, villagers dig out the sands are often sold to underground buyers at a very low price. According to Cameroon's official estimates, the government acquires 30 kilograms of gold into the national treasury every month, accounting for only about 10% of the total production of the mine.

Synchronized with Zacharie Nkolo Ayissi, a staff member of Cameroon's Ministry of Industry and Mines

Unfortunately, 90% of the gold produced circulates in underground channels, which is why the government has decided to set up a mining police force.

The "Operation Gold" team is made up of 10 officers of the Gendarmerie, 12 non-commissioned officers, and a number of directors of the Cameroon Mining Support and Promotion Agency (AMAP). They will be present at the mines to follow the movements of the gold miners and to uncover the illegal procurement networks, while ensuring the normalization of the State's purchases.
