西方报刊经贸文章选读Lesson6 Economic Trouble Cloud New Markets Future
外刊经贸知识选读－06Lesson 6 Economic Trouble Cloud New Market’s FutureBy Howard LafranchiStaff Writer of The Christian Science MonitorWhen the European Community’s vast single market officially takes effect on Jan. 1, there will be no balloons and brass bands, and holiday fliers between EC cities will still face passport checks at airports. Europeans will wake up new year’s day with the same 10 per cent unemployment and doubts about European unity.“There won’t be the big bang some might have expected,” s ays Ricardo Perissich, Ecdirector-general for the single market.Yet in its current dour mood, Europe risks almost overlooking the revolutionary step forward it has taken in creating the world’s largest and wealthiest barrier-free market—and on a continent where, for centuries, economic battles have let to some of history’s bloodiest wars. Moreover, a failure to reinforce the single market by pushing forward with European integration could lead to an unraveling of what the internal market program has achieved, some observers say.“The single market is central to the community’s progress, but it is by no means certain that it could stand alone,” says one senior EC official here, “if the political will to continue moving forward fails, we can anticipate more strains in the marriage contract that ultimately would strike at what we’ve accomplished.”The EC’s languishing Maastricht Treaty for deeper political and economic integration is the obvious example cited. Without the prospect of a single Europeancurrency, as called for in Maastricht, the single market risks experiencing more of the damaging monetary instability of the past few months, some analysts note. And without the promise of deeper political integration, those EC countries looking for more than a glorified free-trade zone could tire of the single market’s free-market philosophy.As Europe’s economy has soured, free-market ideas that are new to much of Europe face new challenges. “It’s worth remembering that a majority of the questions asked during the debate in France on the Maastricht referendum actually had nothing to do with Maastricht at all, but with measures already taken under the single market.” says Perissich. “We are not safely beyond a backlash against the new world of competition.”If Europ eans aren’t bursting to give the single market a coming-out party, it may simple be that markets aren’t the kinds of things people gush about, as EC commission president Jacques Delors has often noted. The fact that free movement of people—an aspect of the market that will be most evident to the average person—is not yet a reality also plays a role.Another explanation is that many of the market’s original 282 directives have already been implemented.“By Jan. 1 we will have passed 95 per cent of what sough t in 1986 to create the single market, and much of that will already have been translated into national law,” says Perissich. “Adjustment to the market has been going on for years and won’t be expected over-night.”But perhaps the major reason is the dark economic clouds now hanging over Europe. One of the central justifications for the single market was its ability to create greater prosperity, but it is making its debut just as Europe traverses one of its roughest economic storms in years.“We’re going to wind up 1992 with just about the same level of unemployed—nearly 10 per cent community wide—that we had before this project,” says an aide to Mr. Delors. In addition, economic growth is skidding to an anticipated 1 per cent next year. All of which adds up to consumer and business confidence sinking to the same lows recorded during the pre-single market days of Europessimism.Both EC and independent analysts say that business anticipated the economic benefits of the single market, so that much of the burst of economic activity in preparation for the new market has already occurred.Business investment, which had been flat for the five years preceding the decision in 1985 to create the single market, soared to a 7 per cent annual growth rate from 1985-1990. GNP growth over the same five years averaged 3.5 per cent; mergers, joint ventures, and plant modernizations took off; and the moribund economies of new EC members, Spain and Portugal jumped with new life.But beyond the short-term statistics, many analysts say the real revolution of “1992”—Brussels shorthand for the single market project—is how it has changed the way Europe works and how it approaches business.“Adoption of the 1992 program led to [national] budget cuts, deregulation, privatizations, and a general cutback in the excess role of the state,” says Jaeques Pelkmans, a researcher at the center for European policy studies here and author of an upcoming book on “how 1992 changed European integration.”Mr. Pelkmans is not among those who believe that the EC’s single market is threatened by the doubt building over Europe’s continued integration. “1992 is a set of laws, and because of the mutual stakes no one would take a breach of those laws lightly,” he says.But he also acknowledges that further progress opened up by 1992 will be more difficult because the strong leadership that existed across the EC as the single market was being implemented is no longer present.“Leaders five years ago had the courage and the political strength to take some very dif ficult decisions, but today that’s no longer the cast,” he says. “Everyone is politically weak back home, which leads to fighting instead of compromise over Europe.”Perissich agrees that the current weakness of European leadership is a problem, but he add s that the single market is now largely in the hands of all Europeans. “What the community has completed rather well is the legal framework, but it is not a blueprint for how the single market will actually work,” says Perissich. “They have to invent their own single market according to their tastes, imagination, and ambition,” he adds. “That’s not for us to say from here.”----From The Christian Science Monitor. Dec.30,1992。

stall economy英文作文
stall economy英文作文1. The stall economy is a fascinating concept that challenges traditional economic models. Instead of focusing on large-scale industries and corporations, it celebrates the ingenuity and creativity of small-scale entrepreneurs. These individuals set up stalls or small businesses,selling a variety of goods and services in local markets or street corners.2. One of the advantages of the stall economy is its flexibility. Unlike traditional businesses that require significant investments and long-term commitments, stalls can be set up relatively quickly and easily. This allows individuals to test out their business ideas and adapt them based on market demand. It also provides opportunities for those who may not have access to large amounts of capital or resources.3. In the stall economy, competition is fierce but also stimulating. With multiple stalls selling similar productsor services in close proximity, entrepreneurs must find unique ways to attract customers. This often leads to innovative marketing strategies and creative product offerings. It's not uncommon to see stalls with eye-catching displays or offering personalized services to stand out from the crowd.4. The stall economy also fosters a sense of community and social interaction. Local markets become vibrant spaces where people gather not only to buy goods but also to connect with others. Stall owners often develop relationships with their regular customers, offering a personalized and friendly shopping experience. This creates a sense of belonging and strengthens the social fabric of the community.5. However, the stall economy also faces challenges. As stalls are typically small-scale and operate on tightprofit margins, they may be more vulnerable to economic fluctuations. Changes in consumer spending patterns or external factors such as weather conditions cansignificantly impact their business. Additionally, the lackof formal contracts or legal protections may leave stall owners more exposed to risks.6. Despite these challenges, the stall economy continues to thrive in many parts of the world. It offers opportunities for individuals to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and contribute to the local economy. Moreover, it adds diversity and vibrancy to the overall business landscape, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of small-scale entrepreneurs.7. In conclusion, the stall economy is a unique and dynamic aspect of the business world. It provides flexibility, fosters creativity, and promotes community engagement. While it may face challenges, its ability to adapt and innovate ensures its continued relevance intoday's ever-changing economic landscape.。

U.S. economy stalls dramatically in first quarterthe Washington postA slowdown in the housing market during the first quarter restrained the country's economic growth.The U.S. economy stalled during the first three months of the year, according to government data released Wednesday morning, failing to meet even modest expectations for growth that could renew concerns over the sustainability of the recovery.The nation's gross domestic product expanded at a meager 0.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter -- well below forecasts for 1.2 percent growth. The slowdownstallsustainability gross domestic meager停滞 持续性 总共的 国内的 贫乏的reflected weaker exports, a decline in business investment and cuts in state and local government spending, among other things.The recovery was primarily propped up by strong consumer spending.The Commerce Department, which releases the data, emphasized that the numbers are preliminary. The government will revise the data twice more as additional information is collected.Economists had already trimmed their expectations for growth during the quarter in the face of this year’s brutally cold winter. Many believe the slowdown is only temporary and the economy will enjoy a bounceback through the spring. Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics forecast earlier this week that growth in the second quarter would pick up to an annual rate of 3.5 percent before settling down to 3 percent for the year. Private data released Wednesday morning by human resources firm ADP showed the country added 220,000 jobs in April -- a better showing than analysts anticipated. The government's official tally of job creation is slated for release Friday."The job market is gaining strength," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, which calculates the ADP report. "After a tough winter employers are expanding payrolls across nearly all industries and company sizes.But there are concerns that the dismal report could be a sign of more fundamental weakness in the economy. In particular, the propemphasizepreliminarytrimbrutallyanticipatetallyslatepayrolldismal支撑强调初步的削减残酷地预期记账预计工资单凄凉的real estate market has softened as risingprices and higher mortgage rates have made homes less affordable. New home sales were below expectations in March, while pending home sales plunged that month.But data released Tuesday suggested the increase in home prices may be moderating. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller index, prices were up 13 percent for the 12 months ending in February in 20 major cities, a slower pace than in January. That could be good news for buyers."Home sales will pick up in the near term as the labor market continues to improve, consumer confidence increases, and lenders gradually ease their standards for mortgages," PNC Financial Services Chief Economist Stuart Hoffman said in a note to clients. "This will more than offset the drag on affordability from higher mortgage rates." The Federal Reserve is slated to weigh in on the economy Wednesday afternoon in an official statement following its two-day policy meeting in Washington. The nation’s central bank had previously characterized growth during the first quarter as "slowing," in part due to the weather. It also noted the housing market had cooled off, though Fed Chair Janet Yellen later said the sector has turned a corner.The Fed's assessment of the strength of the recovery will be a critical factor in how quickly it removes support for the economy. Since the beginning of the year, the Fed has been steadily reducing the amount of money mortgagependingplungindexlenderoffsetreservecharacterizesectorcritical抵押未决定的突然地下降指标出借人抵消储备描述行业关键的it is pumping into the recovery and isexpected to announce another cut of $10 billion on Wednesday. That program will likely end altogether in the fourth quarter, but the weak GDP reading has the potential to complicate those plans.The Fed is also debating when it should raiseits benchmark short-term interest rate, which has been at zero since 2008. Increasing the rate would be a sign that the central bank is confident that the economy can stand on its own. The Fed said it would consider the health of the labor market and inflation expectations in determining the right moment to make a change. benchmarkinflation基准通货膨胀。
