Il commercio mondiale sembra aver rallentato la caduta ma...

Commento dell'Economist:

sembra che il rallentamento della caduta degli scambi mondiali sia dovuta al ricostituirsi delle scorte (in diminuzione comunque) da parte dei retailer.
E questo non è un segno di ripresa, inoltre da dove può venire la ripresa?
Lasciamo direttamente la parola all'Economist:
"But for a sustainable recovery in trade, global demand has to recover on its own steam. It is not clear where demand might come from. American consumers have lost much of their astonishing appetite for goods ranging from clothes to iPods to computers. American households are now saving 5% of their incomes, up from essentially nothing a year ago. Unemployment in America and elsewhere will continue to rise. The International Labour Organisation estimates that the global jobless tally will increase by between 21m and 50m this year.

More people out of work will mean a further fall in global demand. China's boom (GDP grew by 7.9% in the second quarter) is fuelled by government investment and by the stimulus, not a rise in private consumption. Nor are other consumers stepping in. Without a move towards more private consumption in countries such as Germany and China, the world is in for a prolonged period of slow growth and correspondingly sluggish trade."
