Non è stata sufficiente agli Usa una buona crescita del Pil nel 2010: ieri infatti è stato comunicato che la Cina li ha superati come prima potenza manifatturiera del mondo. Lo storico sorpasso è stato rilevato in uno studio pubblicato da Ihs Global Insight. In particolare, la produzione cinese rappresenta il 19,8% del totale mondiale per un valore aggiunto di 1995 miliardi di dollari contro il 19,4% americano, cioè 1952 miliardi. Gli esperti di Ihs fanno notare che la produzione manifatturiera ha avuto una forte ripresa negli Stati Uniti durante il 2010 ma in Cina la crescita è stata superiore.
Un paese che proprio non cresce schiacciato dalle manovre correttive per put public finances in order, however, is Greece: in 2010 GDP fell by 4.5%, as indicated by preliminary data released dall'Autorithy statistical Greek. The data, unfortunately, illustrates a wider than expected recession in the 2010 budget, where the fall was due to 4.2%.

The countries 'communist' have got used to operate the currency and to intervene in the banking system. He does it frequently China (with rising interest rates and increased reserve requirements) and makes it even Cuba, which has devalued by 8% convertible Cuban peso, the Cuc, in order to adjust (to the value in force since 2005) with the dollar U.S.. The move is aimed at supporting the local economy and encourage trade with other trading partners. This was announced by the Central Bank President, Ernesto Medina. The new parity is valid for interbank trade, and exchange offices in Cuba continues to apply a special tax of 10%. The island is to use two currencies: the weight of 'national' that serves to pay salaries and wages of most of everyday consumer goods, and weight 'convertible', linked to the flow of money from tourism and remittances from Cubans living abroad. The exchange rate between two currencies (the other one is worth 25 Cuc weight) over the years led to a huge difference between the lifestyles of the Cubans who have access to Cuc (those who work in tourism or foreign entities or entities that receive money from their relatives abroad) and those who remain excluded.
past the worst of the financial crisis, are reflected in the large issuance of new companies on the stock market in the first two months of 2011 were recorded 193 operations (defined IPO) with 25.3 billion dollars raised. This is what emerges from the study "Global IPO Trends 2011 ' Ernst & Young. He warns, however, the study: the growth scenario we are seeing may not be as rosy as the global macroeconomic risks could make the market even more unstable. However, less than a sudden new crisis, the prospects for 2011 are a stronger IPO market since last year. Emerging markets, which were the main driver of the market in the first two months, will continue to be driving for the rest of the year and is expected, according to the study by Ernst & Young, that the forthcoming IPO will be made not only in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), but also in other emerging markets of Southeast Asia, Europe dell'est e America Latina.
Ieri molti siti titolavano (in maniera un po' macabra): «l'effetto tsunami si abbatte sui mercati finanziari». E questo perché la borsa di Tokyo (-6,18% anche se sostenuta da massicce iniezioni di liquidità dalla Banca centrale nipponica) ha fatto sentire i suoi effetti su tutte le altre borse. C'è da dire che il ribasso era stato largamente previsto. Come prevista era la risalita dell'euro dopo l'intesa, raggiunta sabato in sede Ue, per alzare a 440 miliardi le risorse del fondo di sostegno dei Paesi in difficoltà con i conti pubblici. A fine seduta la moneta comune europea quotava 1,3987 dollari.
