Russia's economy has yet to exit the wheel fog area

In the international financial crisis, Russia's economy in the first half of this year, a substantial decline in the excessive reliance on energy industry and overseas market disadvantages fully manifested. It is precisely because of the economy subject to changes in the external market, therefore the Russian Government introduced a series of measures is not immediate crisis.

Prior to this, the Russian Government has projected economic growth this year from the original-2.2% to-8% to-8.5%. The International Monetary Fund predicted Russia this year-over-year decline in the gross domestic product (GDP) 6.5%. Because the "BRIC", Russia in the crisis of the worst, have individual experts recommend denial of their "brick" title.

Russia's economy or u-trend

Russia Ministry of economic development, the first half of this year, Russian economic downturn 10.1% year-on-year, second-quarter GDP decline 10.4%, higher than first quarter 9.8%. The first half of the Russian social-economic development report pointed out, "the decline and the initiative to reduce the investment."

Fixed capital investments in the first half of last year reduces 18.2%. In loans difficult background, the decline was greatest in construction investment, 19.3%. The first half of the decline in industrial output, processing output 14.8% decline 23.1%. Fall is the largest industrial electric equipment, electronic and optical equipment, transport equipment, machinery and equipment, as well as non-metallic mineral products.

However, some data display, Russia's economy seemed to be slowly coming out of the bottom. Among them, may, June and July industrial production index shall achieve positive growth. In addition, gross domestic product (GDP) growth ring than 0.4% in July, the ring than 0.5 percent. Russian first Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov on August 24, on media that Russian economic growth "start", but not forgotten and then add that — as far as the uptrend is durable, need 3 months observation. Russian Deputy Minister of economic development's column OPAC said that Russia's economic downturn has come to an end, but which have already begun active is not durable, "recession is over, but the crisis has also".

Moscow bykovo Driscoll School of management, Office of the Registrar on warm Wade said that Russia's economic trend "may not be a V-type, but a u-shaped", i.e. not in decline after the rebound, but immediately after a period of stability is restored. The expert also said if oil prices fell below $ 40 per barrel, does not exclude Russia economy may decline again.

Russia market analysts sapronov said, before the crisis, Russian enterprises expect high demand, and a large number of reserved commodity. But the second half of last year, demand reduction, sales, inventory surplus. In this context, enterprise production, which have production decline. At present, the reserved commodity sales, companies began to fill the inventory, but at the same time the lack of demand growth, sales trend is still unstable. Three quarters of the supply of Russian enterprises. Sapronov believes that currently, Russia's economy had just walked out of the bottom, only needs to be active, talk about growth.

Although the consuming to GDP decline of not too big, but it is growing quickly. First quarter, only a slight decline in retail sales in Russia 0.1%, while the second quarter decreased 5.6%, July the year sags 8.2%--for the past 10 years the largest year-over-year decline. Temperature Wade said that Russia consumer purchasing power "disappeared overnight."

Russia "newspaper network," in late July, it is estimated that Russia the number of unemployed to 630 million, in the labour force of 8.3%. Russian Deputy Prime Minister jucov early this month, said that the last three months to Russian domestic actual number of unemployed and registered as unemployed is a downward trend. But he said, taking into account the current seasonal reasons, and the unemployment rate still exist on growth worries.

Anti-crisis measures little

Although the Russian Government to spend $ "oil" established two sovereign wealth Fund-reserve fund and the National Welfare Fund as a stable financial situation and ensure that the public welfare has played a positive role, but it cannot effectively stimulate rapid economic recovery. And a substantial portion is used to maintain the ruble exchange rate stability. 7 months before this year, Russia's international reserves reduced 5.9%. Reduced to 4019.78 billion. At the same time, the Russian banking system while opening up a relatively high level, but not enough developed. Temperature Wade said that Russia's economic development funds to a large extent from foreign financial institutions.

At the same time, the Russian Government to implement anti-crisis plan efficiency to be improved. Merrill Lynch is responsible for Russia and the CIS business Senior Economist said, Russia's economic recovery speed depends in part on Government assistance for economic decision-making time, "the funds are sufficient, but the actual use but was delayed."

In addition, some large banks have government anti-crisis funds not immediately into the real economy. Russia Grand Thies capital investment companies and financial markets Department Manager of Kozani Cove on the Office of the reporter said that some large commercial banks will anti-crisis funds to maintain its own assets and liabilities in the balance, or in the stock market and foreign exchange earnings, but the Government does not have sufficient regulatory measures to stop it.

In addition, Russia's Bank for fear of enterprise solvency and maintain a higher interest rate, this is also the enterprise cannot access to finance. To change this situation, Russia's Central Bank take into account the current domestic macroeconomic trends, particularly the factors slowing down of inflation this year is 5 times adjusted refinancing interest rate. The 10th annual financing, then turned to the 10.75%. But section zhakov think, considering that profitability is very low, so the current the index remains too high. The Merrill Lynch corporate experts say, in Russia, solid economic recovery will facilitate loan recovery, not vice-versa.

It is worth mentioning that with the deepening of the economic crisis, Russia also increasingly towards protectionism, restrictions on vehicle, meat products and harvesters and other products for import to protect domestic industries and employment opportunities. World Economic Forum report will be published in Russia as the world's most closed economies.

Economic transformation it will take time

The International Monetary Fund experts at the end of July, said that Russia has two external factors

Drag: oil prices sharply and the withdrawal of private capital. United States Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jim O'Neill believes that Russia · economy too dependent on energy industry, Russia must undertake a profound reforms to improve their economic prospects. Russian Scientific Research Institute of higher economic head Yassin is criticized road, Russia from the current crisis did not draw any lessons learned, in terms of economic structures have not changed, just wait for the world's major economies start to recover.

Statistical data for the experts ' analysis provides evidence. The first half of this year, Russia's foreign trade turnover 45.4% year-on-year. Where exports decline year-over-year, the foreign trade surplus 46.9% year-over-year decrease of more than half. Export commodities are still dominated by resource commodities. Where the fuel energy commodity exports 50.3% year-on-year. Due to energy price fluctuations, Russian crude oil exports although levels are similar to the same period last year, but exports were up by 52.4%.

Who are the big winners in the financial crisis?.

<P> English, "China Daily" reported June 19: Recently, the U.S. media have to the global economic downturn, and China's economic growth accelerated to enhance the international financial organizations the right to speak, on the grounds of overseas large-scale mergers and acquisitions, published "China alone show" .remarks, claiming that China is the biggest winner in the financial crisis. .Indeed, China's economic leap forward in recent years is obvious to all, especially the financial crisis, China contributed 50% of global economic growth than China, however, is really the biggest winners? ."Left a growing outflow of wealth" in China and other emerging economies, leading the global economy to remain behind the recovery process reflects the interests and the global distribution of wealth in the huge imbalance. .</ P> <P> U.S. system and U.S. financial hegemony is the source of imbalance in the distribution of global wealth. .Recently, China has a right to vote in international financial organizations has increased, but the reconstruction of the international financial structure and process of the international financial system remains extremely difficult. .Although the United States in the sole charge of the world financial order after years of power had to give him a small part of the country; although with the rise of the euro, China, Russia and India and other emerging economies and the consequent jump in the strength born of words demands .But the dollar dominated currency hegemony and the international financial system has not changed. .The reform of the international financial system, in fact, the United States do not want to "beating" type of reform, but want to engage in some "minor repairs" work, such as the appropriate strengthening of supervision, a limited increase in some countries, the International Monetary Fund .and the World Bank's share and so on. .There are two insurmountable U.S. bottom line: First, no State may weaken the U.S. in the international financial system, China's control; Second, any reform proposals must not undermine the pillars of the status of U.S. dollars, in this sense, it also determines the global economic imbalances .pattern of change can not happen. .</ P> <P> the 21st century, along with the world economy and changes in the pattern of international division of labor, global economic imbalances, especially the "Sino-US economic imbalances," more and more serious. ."Sino-US economic imbalances," alleged that the huge U.S. current account deficit and China's huge current account imbalances between surpluses, and indeed this imbalance is reflected in a deeper level of globalization and the context of international industrial transfer .The global financial center and a global manufacturing center in the international division of labor, and the imbalance between creditor and debtor rights and interests of the serious imbalance in the distribution. .</ P> <P> formed the world's major countries, based on the real economy, virtual economy based on trade specialization and division of the new division of financial shape. .In this increasingly global division of labor in close, on the one hand greatly enhance the efficiency of global production, and promote global economic prosperity for 20 years; the other hand, the globalization of the "surplus" distribution of the results poor. .The United States as the world's largest debtor, the debt not only failed to constrain them, but as a tool for the U.S. to maintain financial hegemony. .</ P> <P> In fact, the United States, the international cycle of debt depends on two "exchange": the trade channels and delivery, financial channels back; financial channel delivery, trade channels to return. .The first exchange, the United States with growing outside money income can buy the products to their needs, resources and services to maintain its low-cost, high quality of life, its performance for the U.S. trade deficit and current account deficit increased rapidly .and to cover the trade deficit means more and more dollars to the world output;

The decline of middle-class U.S. and European economic foundations shake.

<P> Since the last century, the rapid rise of the middle class became the backbone of global economic development, but this trend has reversed in recent years. .With the acceleration of economic globalization, the trend in income polarization and social development of the growing imbalance between the increased size of the global middle class, there was a certain degree of decline trend. .</ P> <P> particularly since the financial crisis, rising unemployment and a heavy debt burden of the collapse of the global middle class is facing a crisis, olive society to the "M-type society," the evolution of trends. .The so-called "M-type society" refers to the trend of globalization, the strong Always the Winner, with the reallocation of resources, the middle class because of loss of competitiveness, and reduced to the middle and lower classes, the distribution of wealth throughout the society, in the middle of this .blocks, suddenly had a large gap, the whole world is divided into three pieces, left the poor become more and more to the right of the rich have changed, but to suddenly sink into the middle of the formation of a collapse. .Benefits of economic growth flow to the rich class, especially in the wealthy sectors of the rich Western countries have a "collective sink." .</ P> <P> In the United States after the war, with the completion of industrialization and post-industrial society changes, the structure evolution of American society in steep decline mainly reflected in the blue-collar workers, and white collar workers continue to expand. .However, since the 70s of last century, the American middle class is facing two challenges. .</ P> <P> First, income growth slowed down to the late 1990s, the level of real income stagnation and even decline. .U.S. Census Bureau data show that from 1979 to 2007, the U.S. median household income increased by 13%, meaning that the income of middle-income groups increased. .But adjusted for inflation, real disposable income but declined. .Second, significant differentiation within the middle class, with some high-income earners (mainly through capital gains on corporate stock options, etc.), more middle-class family life growing distress. .According to New York State University, since 1979, the United States increased the degree of inequality in income distribution, 1% of the population holds 80% of new revenue. .Another recent study showed that from 1999 to 2004, 90% of U.S. inflation-adjusted family income grew by only 2%. .The richest 10% of household income has increased to 57%. .</ P> <P> increasing economic pressure makes more and more middle-class families rely on debt beyond their ability to pay to maintain the standard of living, and Wall Street since the 1980s, the ever-changing financial products selected to stimulate the U.S. middle class high .liabilities, high consumption lifestyles. .From 1983 to 2004, the American middle class debt / income ratio rose to 1.19 from 0.45. .The consumption patterns and the current round of financial crisis has a direct relationship. .</ P> <P> the economic crisis hit the middle class again, the cumulative number of unemployed more than 800 million people, up to 200 million U.S. households could not afford the mortgage and losing their homes. .In addition, the plight of the middle class in addition to factors from the economic downturn, but also by lack of federal and local government finances, the reduced investment in public services. .Since 1970, although the U.S. middle class spending clothes, food, household items and some reduced costs for the car, but in education, health, housing and tax costs increase sharply. .In particular the costs of child rearing and education doubled. .Nearly 30 years, the U.S. college education increased by 43.5%, a middle-income 3 times the revenue growth, and since 2000, the general four-year public college tuition and other costs rose 7.6%. .Two-thirds of university students need to complete their studies through loans, student loans is $ 19,300. .39% of the amount owed under the age of 35 who take at least ten years to pay off the loan, a quarter of delayed medical treatment because of debt, 14% of people get married for this delay. .</ P> <P> economists are worried, losing the middle class consumer power, the U.S. economic recovery will be delayed indefinitely. .The troubled U.S. middle class, middle-class pin their hopes on Obama came from. .Obama has also begun to "save the middle class action." .February 2009 set up the administration led by Vice President Biden, a specialized agency of the "middle class working families special team" to study for the American middle class, lower middle class in particular, to provide support. .Obama in the State of the Union in 2010, again to shift the focus of his economic policies to create employment, improve social welfare to help struggling American middle class. .The policy can be effective to implement and need attention. .</ P> <P> the European situation is similar. .In recent years, along with the accelerated process of economic globalization, the trend in income levels and social development continue to exacerbate the imbalance of increased size of the German middle class, there was a certain degree of shrinking trend, measured by income levels in 2006 .the proportion of the German middle class from 62% in 2000 to 54%. .</ P> <P> As in the past thirty or forty years, the French middle class incomes rising faster behind the housing, water, electricity, fuel and other prices rising faster, leading to the current middle class who are charged a monthly raise the proportion of basic living expenses, free .declining share of disposable funds, seriously affecting their quality of life. .Survey shows that the necessary expenditure in France in 1979, the middle class of about 20% of monthly expenditure, rose by 2009 to 32-38%. .</ P> <P> middle class groups frequently in an emergency, to get governments to recognize that the crisis in this class may lead to subsequent weak recovery, and trap the economy in the long-term risk of depression. .There is no middle class, the way the global economy will be more difficult. .(Author: Ministry of National Information Center) </ P>.

Traditional Chinese medicine in Europe faced death case in the EU without being robbed a successful registration

Traditional medicine of the Chinese nation has thousands of years of history, cultural heritage, to Europe also have hundreds of years. But in 2011, 1 April, Chinese medicine in Europe will encounter either collapse, or fully armed underground historical choice. Belgium International Medical Center Chairman Professor Lin Kuo-ming said: "the situation is very critical. as of now, there is not a case of traditional Chinese medicine officially registered in the EU. From next year on 1 April, the practice of traditional Chinese medicine in Europe will be confronted with a gun no bullets, i.e. There is no hassle of traditional Chinese medicine. ”

March 31, 2004, the European Union enacted the traditional plant medicine registration procedures directive. The directive stipulates that in the EU market sales of all plant medicine must follow this new statute registered, get listed permission to continue. At the same time, the directive provides for a 7-year transition period, allowing for food and other identity in the EU countries sales of herbal product sales to March 31, 2011. At present, most of the EU market for herbal medicines to food, health care products, plant medicine raw materials or farmers in the form of Deputy local products. But the 7-year transitional period is coming to an end, the EU is still not formally registered, why?

EU the traditional plant medicine registration procedures directive, traditional herbal remedies before the date of filing, "at least 30 years of pharmaceutical history, including within the EU for at least 15 years of history." History proves that the traditional application carried out according to the published literature, expert reports and customs import and export text records also belong to the supporting documents. Professor Lin Kuo-ming said: "for products in the EU market with over 15 years of experience in the use of history to prove difficult. "Some in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia recorded more than 15 years, non-toxic ingredients, are still widely used in classical Chinese medicine, such as Liu Wei di Huang Wan, Wuji baifeng Wan, as early as 1995, before entering the EU market. However, together with ren Tang this century-old shop can offer in the EU market with over 15 years of experience in the use of historical evidence. In 2004, Chinese exports to the EU countries ' customs records are in accordance with the food capacity and not according to the registration of pharmaceuticals. Also, before the year 2000 by the Chinese customs requires only the of proprietary Chinese medicines or herbal harmonized reporting, enterprises do not have a single variety of export records.

The second is the high cost prohibitive for many enterprises. According to reports, a business of medicines if you follow the traditional plant medicine registration program instructions on registration, the registration fee of approximately 80 million RMB through EU GMP certification, production equipment, and other hardware investment required more than 400 million Yuan, and training, expert guidance, and other software investment also needed 400 million.

Nevertheless, some Chinese enterprises are still actively working towards in the 7-year transitional period ended in the EU will succeed in its product registration. It is learnt that the Sichuan Chengdu xinxuekang capsule has passed the examination of Drug Administration Department of the Netherlands, xinxuekang capsule production line also has adopted the EU GMP certification, is expected to become the first to enter the international market of therapeutic proprietary varieties; Guangzhou qixing pharmaceutical group is "United Kingdom Register of traditional herbal medicinal products summary (United Kingdom) with the EU GMP certification" project; Lanzhou feci "minshan" card dangdui also received Sweden national drug authority agreed and formally accepted, pre-assessment also has passed. But in 2011 before 31 March, these three companies in which a company will take the lead in the European Union officially obtain legal status, make traditional Chinese medicine in EU legal sales for zero breakthrough, people will wait and see.

Professor Lin Kuo-ming, practicing medicine in Europe have been getting about 20 years. He said: "in the face of such grim prospects, it is imperative that work together to respond to challenges. ”

First of all is in EU of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners should unite mutual exclusion had pulled out again. Secondly, European practitioners and patients should be joint signature requirements for the legal status of traditional Chinese medicine. Professor Lin Kuo-ming said: "in Europe, dependent on the medicine man. EU Member States is a democratic country, politicians are very important people. 2011 March 31, in European medicine practitioners can contact their patients, jointly petitioned the EU politicians, asked for the legal status of TCM, believe that these politicians do not ignore the voice of the people. "The third is the role of the Government of China. China is now the world's second largest economy in the world's increasing influence, rescue medicine in European destiny, the Chinese Government can play an irreplaceable role. Professor Lin Kuo-ming, the Chinese Government and the EU and its Member States for different levels of dialogue and negotiations should be made for the legal status in Europe.

Although the situation in Europe is very dangerous, but Professor Lin Kuo-Ming and not a pessimist. He said: "in the long run, I'm Chinese medicine into Europe or relatively optimistic. Because of the medicine in clinical treatment of superiority is very prominent, in Europe there is a large civil identity, there are many Western medicine cannot resolve disease only medicine can handle. I believe that sooner or later will break through the traditional EU traditional plant medicine registration procedures directive set of hurdles. ”

U.S. financial regulation bill which will bring global.

<P> United States Senate May 20 passed a new Financial Supervision Act. .Obama said the bill will immediately start the integration process both houses, for the July 4 (Independence Day) to complete the merger, to build a unified legal system of financial regulatory reform, as the leading global financial regulatory system to lay the basis of domestic law. .</ P> <P> new system of financial regulation bill highlight the two major regulators, the business scope of financial institutions and business aspects of these two full-scale monitoring. .Act claim rights by strengthening the regulatory authorities to limit high-risk financial institutions in financial services, prohibiting commercial banks to deal directly with high-risk financial derivatives, etc.; the same time, limit

international coordination type of the financial regulatory system to ensure that the unique U.S. international power. .</ P> <P> U.S. Senate and House bills to achieve the merger, from both macro and micro level, building up the financial system covering the whole regulatory system, is considered to be 30 years since the last century, since the financial reform, the most comprehensive .and unified legal system of financial regulation. .</ P> <P> change the U.S. financial industry structure </ P> <P> 2010 年 1 month, Obama issued following the June 2009 to strengthen the financial system stable regulatory bill, once again proposed to prevent the crisis .another outbreak of the financial regulation bill, known as the "New Financial Regulation Act." .20 in the Senate this month passed a bill that is modeled on this. .The basic idea of the bill from the Obama campaign general counsel of the economy, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, is also known as "Walker rules." .</ P> <P> its specific content generally consists of three rules: first, prohibiting commercial banks to engage in hedge funds, private equity investment, equity participation and other business, the implementation of a de facto "separate operation" return; Second, prohibiting commercial .nothing to do with the customer in the bank stocks, bonds (excluding bonds, government bonds and local bonds), and related financial derivatives and other internal transactions; Third, during the restructuring of financial institutions mergers and acquisitions, the acquisition of related liabilities shall not exceed the financial institutions .10% of total liabilities. .</ P> <P> first two rules of business of bank regulation; the third rule, called the Bank of scale control, that fact does not recognize the existence of giant financial institutions. .U.S. House of Representatives passed in December last year, financial regulation bill, or to "a giant financial institutions" is the prerequisite for the survival reflects the bankruptcy of large financial institutions on the macro-financial system stability may be a tremendous impact concerns. .Walker rejected the rule in fact the existence of the giant banking group. .</ P> <P> but the reality is that the U.S. financial industry, the financial crisis, a large U.S. investment bank or a giant bank merger, or to apply to "Bank Group", almost without exception, turned into the central bank lender of last resort available .Bank Group support to form a giant banking group led by "American characteristics" of the financial industry structure. .Walker rules by denying the existence of the giant banking group conditions tantamount to completely change the structure of the U.S. financial industry. .</ P> <P> in the financial liberalization process, the giant financial institution, with its enormous size, access to the pursuit of the conditions of high monopoly profits. .Its executives, financial elites can use monopoly power to reap excessive compensation. .When the financial crisis, these financial institutions but also to deter the use of the status of the financial system, easy access to government financial assistance, serious embezzlement, squandering the national taxes, adding to the national burden, causing widespread social discontent. ."Walker rules" can be described to meet the public, for Obama to gain political popularity, save political face-saving reform measures. .</ P> <P> of the global financial regulatory reform </ P> <P> seventies and eighties of last century, with the development of financial markets, banks face a strict separation of regulatory restrictions, that 90's of last century, .In the United States to form a "bank of recession." .Therefore, the development of new financial services other than deposit and lending business to commercial banks to obtain a wider range of profit opportunities, became the basic idea of financial reform. .U.S. financial liberalization, it is also relaxed by periodically "Interest Rate", "business control" began to start. .As a means of safeguarding the financial system, when the U.S. financial reform allows banks to engage in moderate-risk business at the same time, as a buffer means, government regulators require banks to raise equity capital ratio, to maintain the integrity of the bank. .Construction of the two combined financial security system. .The financial liberalization reforms in the banking business from the traditional deposit and lending business, development of a comprehensive financial services to provide integrated services. .</ P> <P> After the Cold War, a unified global market, increased competition in the financial world as the theme of the times. .As a major U.S. competitors, European financial institutions are mostly to concurrently operate securities and insurance business, integrated banking group with strong international competitiveness. .In this context, the United States If you want to participate in the global financial competition, we must relax the control of the business scope of banks, as banks expand the full range of financial services conditions. .It is in this context, the United States in 1933 to develop a "separate operation" mode, gradually reform, particularly in the new banking law in 1999 and further to allow the U.S. "financial holding company" established "separate management system" has been .a more thorough reform. .The latter half of the 1980s, "are great, and that they can not bankrupt" philosophy up as a trend, developed various types of giant multinational financial institutions to keep development in the financial system plays an important role. .U.S. and European banks, securities, insurance groups and the gradual integration into the giant of the road. .</ P> <P> Although the financial giant of global competition can avoid bankruptcy, but also to financial operators to provide "a new rent-seeking opportunities," the financial system through deterrence, to obtain a monopoly over power .derived as a political issue. .From the August 2007 subprime crisis to the 2008 financial crisis, and even the current European sovereign debt crisis, the giant of the banking group, but oligarchy of the rapid development of the social rebellion caused by the developed countries, encroaching upon the stability of the regime. .</ P> <P> In this regard, G20 summit from the perspective of the international financial system is stable, an important advocate for the implementation of particular international financial institutions, regulatory harmonization. .The new U.S. financial regulatory reform bill can be said to adapt to the global financial trends, to meet the aspirations of the financial regulatory reform, multi-frame, or will the global financial regulatory reform have an important impact. .</ P> <P> how the international coordination of concern </ P> <P> present, the financial system from the point of view on a large scale and complex ways to regulate financial transactions, there are basically two kinds of tendencies. .</ P> <P> One is the existence of giant financial institutions as a precondition, and the specific technology, to consider the design of the regulatory regime. .Such as the U.S. House of Representatives passed the financial reform bill, to emphasize the stability of the financial system from the point of view of the giant financial institutions regulation, and through the strengthening of international coordination, operational flaws in the event of their time enough to suppress the direct impact of the global extent of the real economy. .</ P> <P> the second is in the financial system, the financial regulatory authorities in principle, advocated building, especially the idea of the super financial institutions. .Typical is the "Walker rules", but also the U.S. Senate passed this new financial regulation bill of the core idea, that by limiting banks to engage in high-risk investments and transactions, maintaining a conservative settlement system, financial intermediaries and other traditional functions of commercial banks .to ensure that "not to create" super-banking group, to avoid the formation of the financial system, "too, that they can not bankrupt" deterrent. .As a result, the financial security mechanism, can reduce the "financial security umbrella" of the range and improve the efficiency of the financial system to maintain stability. .</ P> <P> first approach, while the business activities of financial institutions in the least, but it can also contribute to the expansion of giant financial institutions, so that the expansion of the financial system's security umbrella, the financial system maintenance costs, "too .reduce the balance of regulation on financial markets, shrinking liquidity shortage forecast, on the real economy will be uncertain what effect. to the United States as the primary source of the financial crisis, the excessive expansion of investment banking, but it will be business regulation bill .Bank under strict control of the column, whether the "market-based financial system risks" have effective control is uncertain. from the "maintenance of credit order" point of view, the effect there is great doubt. </ P> < .P> Therefore, not only on Wall Street to actively resist, the EU has said it would not apply the U.S. program, Japan is closely watching the U.S. program, but not bankrupt, "the deterrence issue can not be resolved. .The second approach is conservative therapy, limited the banks in the hands and feet at the same time, and not put forward conditions to ensure the profitability of banks, especially not proposed how to advance international coordination to ensure the financial supervision of the international equalization. .</ P> <P> In addition, financial sector reform also caused the loss of competitiveness concerns. .Conservative, and international promotion. .</ P> <P> In fact, the United States to use international rules to build the leading domestic law precedents. .Back in World War II just ended, the US-led construction of the Bretton Woods system, there are still affected. .Which the "golden dollar exchange standard" is based on the formation of the domestic law of the United States. .Bretton Woods Agreement provided only to gold as the anchor of a fixed exchange rate system, and provides for the July 1, 1944 the dollar price of gold build links between the two, and does not provide "official gold and the dollar parity against other" .. .The United States is based on domestic law enacted in 1934, "Gold Reserve Act" and the ban of gold held by residents, and 70% of the global monopoly of gold, forming a "gold of the official trading" mechanism, was a "dollar or gold" .dominance. .</ P> <P> U.S. financial crisis, global financial competition has not fundamentally changed, New York remains the financial capital of the world's largest market. .For Japanese and European financial institutions, global competition, inevitably, to enter the New York market, and accept control of the domestic law of the United States, or competition authority is tantamount to self-abandon. .</ P> <P> Clearly, the U.S. legal system of financial regulation has a considerable extent, the meaning of international rules. .Based on the "Volcker rule" in the new financial regulation bill, how to expand international coordination, the formation of generally accepted and effective international financial regulatory system is a concern.
