Economic Crisis in Eastern Europe Deepens


(snippet)
The International Monetary Fund has also issued a number of blunt warnings about developments in eastern Europe. The Austrian Standard quotes IMF economist Christoph Rosenberg, who declares that the recent recovery of financial markets in the region is almost exclusively due to the increased appetite for risk on the part of investors and has little to do with any improvements in the real economy. Rosenberg warns of a new stock market bubble, which will have dire consequences when it collapses.
Rosenberg was not prepared to commit himself when asked if conditions would improve for eastern European markets. “We can only do what we did prior to the economic crisis—warn of the dangers,” he said.
However, when one examines the state of economic conditions, one can only conclude that it is already too late for warnings. The situation is most dire in the Baltic states. In Latvia, bankers are speaking of a “dramatic development.” Despite draconian austerity measures by the government, the country is moving ever closer to bankruptcy.
The rates for credit default swaps, which reflect the perceived risk of state bankruptcy, currently lie between 500 and 600 points for the Baltic states. In comparison, the rate for credit default swaps for Austria is around 60 points.

  2. The world is in economic collapse. We may have had a very brief period where it looked like things were improving because of the various stimulus packages the governments put into place, but now it is obvious that we are in collapse mode all over again.

  3. I have been following the situation in eastern europe for a while and i must say EU banks face collapse if eastern europe goes down the shithole. There is no recovry over there. When eastern europe collapses it will destroy eu banks and the pain will reach us. 2010 will be interesting. the 201os will be a depression decade in the us.

  4. I think the world will be in an economic depression for the rest of the time period leading up to the final conflagration, probably in about 20 years.

    When I look at your website in Safari, it looks
    fine however, when opening in IE, it's got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Aside from that, fantastic blog!

And one in six thought Raleigh was the brains behind the Chopper, not the product a distinct selling proposition with respect to the management students. There s nothing worse than selling someone a misleading or poor product as you can from the organization to lose its technology investment.

  13. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested
    to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be
    a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
