China Clinches the World’s Biggest Trade Deal15 nations, including China, officially signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) today, a free-trade deal aimed at reducing tariffs and regulatory trade barriers between the signatory nations and, more pointedly, diversifying China’s export and import markets away from the US. The following map shows the member countries.The 15 member countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Veitnam, Australia, and New Zealand represent about 30% of the global population and roughly 30% of the global economy ($26 billion), making it the largest trading block in the world.While reductions in tariffs between member countries will likely be modest (they are already low), the deal reportedly establishes a framework for some degree of regulatory convergence, uniform customs filing requirements, and a general path towards integration into what is a de facto China-led economic block.At least that’s rumor. The deal has been negotiated behind closed doors and the text has never been formally released. Only the broad outlines of the arrangement are known. Apparently, the citizens of member countries have to join it to find out what’s in it.How much economic convergence actually occurs will likely be a function of how aggressively China abuses the deal’s rules and its position as the dominant member of the trade pact. It’s safe to assume the answer to that question is very aggressively, especially because the deal reportedly doesn’t cover labor, environmental, or government subsidy issues. That leaves China open to continue to engage in literal slave labor with the bonus of guaranteed tariff-free access to its neighbors. Meanwhile, China can presumably continue to block imports from adversarial countries in the pact because China relies on non-official non-tariff measures to block imports, as Australia is learning right now.Regardless, the agreement further diminishes already waning US economic relevance in the region.

El Banco de España ve riesgos en las moratorias concursales: contribuirán a la supervivencia de empresas inviables o zombisEl supervisor asegura que mantener esta medida llevará a tener más empresas 'zombis' si se prolonga durante meses"La mayor supervivencia de empresas inviables reduce el beneficio del resto", aseguraEl Banco de España alerta de los riesgos de la moratoria concursal y subraya que una prórroga será dañina para la economía. El supervisor afirma en un documento en el que analiza los procedimientos de insolvencia que si la moratoria concursal aprobada con motivo de la crisis del covid se alarga en el tiempo puede contribuir a una mayor supervivencia de empresas inviables o zombis que, sin medidas de sostenimiento financiero como las refinanciaciones bancarias, acabarán por desaparecer en un breve plazo de tiempo.El Gobierno, tras la irrupción de la pandemia del coronavirus, estableció una moratoria concursal para todos los deudores, tanto empresas como personas físicas. En concreto, el Ejecutivo suspendió la obligación de los deudores de solicitar concurso de acreedores (concurso voluntario) hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020 e impidió que sus acreedores pudieran realizar la solicitud antes de esta fecha (concurso necesario).El organismo que gobierna Pablo Hernández de Cos cree que sería "conveniente evaluar cuidadosamente" una posible prolongación de la moratoria concursal más allá de finales de 2020, dado que esto podría "exacerbar" la supervivencia de empresas inviables en el mercado, con balances "cada vez más deteriorados", que provocarían además la acumulación de casos de insolvencia que habrían de resolverse cuando finalmente terminara la moratoria.Daños en la economíaEl supervisor advierte de que la mayor supervivencia de empresas zombis en el mercado reduce los beneficios del resto de las empresas, disminuye la inversión y el crecimiento del empleo, desincentiva la entrada de nuevas sociedades y provoca una "mala asignación" de los recursos productivos y pérdidas de productividad.La institución subraya al respecto que aquellos sistemas concursales que facilitan la reestructuración de deudas empresariales y reducen los costes asociados a la insolvencia de los empresarios individuales disminuyen la proporción de capital en manos de empresas zombis, lo que a su vez contribuye a elevar la productividad del resto de las empresas.En condiciones normales (antes de la pandemia), la Ley Concursal estipula que la solicitud de concurso puede ser realizada por cualquiera de los acreedores o por la propia compañía deudora, que de hecho está obligada a presentarla en un plazo de dos meses desde que está en una situación de insolvencia, lo que se supone tras tres meses de impagos de impuestos, contribuciones a la Seguridad Social o salarios.En caso de no hacerlo, se presume que la insolvencia no es fortuita, sino responsabilidad de los gerentes de la empresa (concurso culpable), lo que puede llegar, entre otras sanciones, a que estos respondan con su patrimonio personal de las deudas de la empresa no satisfechas con la liquidación de los activos de la sociedad.Concursos voluntariosAdemás, en los concursos voluntarios, la empresa concursada continúa gestionando su patrimonio y su actividad comercial, si bien sus operaciones son supervisadas por el administrador concursal. Por el contrario, en los concursos necesarios, los directivos son relevados de sus funciones y la gestión de la empresa es llevada a cabo por el administrador.
Core dollar exchange rates have so far been surprisingly stable during the pandemic, most likely because major central banks’ policy interest rates are effectively frozen at or near zero. But although the current stasis could last awhile, it will not last forever.Interest rates are hardly the only likely driver of exchange rates; other factors, such as trade imbalances and risk, also are important. And, of course, central banks are engaged in various quasi-fiscal activities such as quantitative easing. But with interest rates basically in a cryogenic freeze, perhaps the single biggest source of uncertainty is gone. In fact, as Ilzetzki, Reinhart, and I show, core exchange-rate volatility was declining long before the pandemic, especially as one central bank after another skirted the zero bound. COVID-19 has since entrenched these ultra-low interest rates.But the current stasis will not last forever. Controlling for relative inflation rates, the real value of a broad dollar index has been trending up for almost a decade, and at some point will probably partly revert to the mean (as happened in the early 2000s). The second wave of the virus is currently hitting Europe harder than the US, but this pattern may soon reverse as winter sets in, particularly if America’s post-election interregnum paralyzes both health and macroeconomic policy. And although the US still has enormous capacity to provide much-needed disaster relief to hard-hit workers and small businesses, the growing share of US public and corporate debt in global markets suggests longer-term fragilities.::Simply put, there is a fundamental inconsistency over the long run between an ever-rising share of US debt in world markets and an ever-falling share of US output in the global economy. (The International Monetary Fund expects the Chinese economy to be 10% larger at the end of 2021 than it was at the end of 2019.) A parallel problem eventually led to the breakup of the post-war Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates, a decade after the Yale economist Robert Triffin first identified it in the early 1960s.In the short to medium term, the dollar certainly could rise more – especially if further waves of COVID-19 stress financial markets and trigger a flight to safety. And exchange-rate uncertainty aside, the overwhelming likelihood is that the greenback will still be king in 2030. But it’s worth remembering that economic traumas such as we are now experiencing often prove to be painful turning points.

@errozateYo se lo digo, VIVA EL REY (el de ahora y el Emérito).Si está interesado en el debate le digo punto por punto por qué pienso que a España le conviene infinitamente ser una monarquía en vez de una república, y por qué nos sale mucho más barata.
Un trabajador con un elevado nivel de ingresos se ha convertido en una golosina en la puerta de un colegio para muchos gobiernos, en mitad de la actual crisis provocada por el coronavirus. Supone ensanchar la base fiscal de un país y un impacto directo en la economía por su capacidad de gasto y de inversión. El elemento perfecto para compensar la caída en picado del turismo y una nueva manera de reactivarlo. España, Portugal o Italia se han manifestado interesados en la fórmula, pero Grecia ya se ha puesto en la cabeza para desarrollar un plan.

1: Long thread follows … A lot of the commentary on RCEP today, some of which disses it as a minimalist trade deal, misses the point. If you’re American, you can’t just look at it while ignoring the larger context of 25 years of change in Asia. 2. The problem, especially for the American strategic class (of which I am a card-carrying member), is threefold: 3: The first strategic problem is that American power in this region has been premised on both security and economic pillars ... 4: The US was, for decades, the principal provider of both security-related public goods and of economic-related public goods and other benefits—as a demand-driver and also as a standard-setter ... 5. But as I and others have argued for years, the American role in this economic dimension may be rising in absolute terms but it is declining in relative terms. Pull that thread out 10-15 years and the US will not be the kind of demand driver it was in the 1980s, 1970s, 1960s … 6: So that makes the other pillar of American economic leadership imperative—to be a standard-setting nation and a driver of liberalization. Yet, the US is walking away from that role—and doing the walking away against the backdrop of a shrinking relative economic role overall. 7: So that leaves the United States overweighted as a security provider and underweighted as an economic rule and standard setter. Bluntly put, the US should not want to end up as the “Hessians" of Asia, as I jokingly put it. (You Revolutionary War aficionados know the Hessians) 8: And this isn’t about business, or companies, or this or that example of FDI. It is about rules, norms, standards, and, above all, strategic momentum. American firms will be active in the region even if Washington is not. But they will adapt to someone else’s rules. 9: But we in the American strategic class continue to focus disproportionately on the US role in the region through the security lens. And that misunderstands power by missing how much the region changed between two bookends: the 1997-98 Asian crisis and the 2008 global crisis. 10: I’ve been warning about this in a lot of writing over a long period of time. One old chestnut is my 2012 essay in @ForeignPolicy with @Rmanning4, which contrasted “Security Asia” with “Economic Asia” and starkly warned Washington about the trendline:A Tale of Two AsiasIn the battle for Asia's soul, which side will win -- security or economics?https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/10/31/a-tale-of-two-asias/11: Another is my 2015 essay in @ForeignAffairs on how a region that is becoming more “Asian” and less “Pacific” is problematic for Washington strategically. Yet sadly, America seems more interested in trying to rewind the clock than in adapting to change:The New Asian OrderAs Asian countries increasingly rely on one another for trade, investment, and other economic public goods, Washington risks ceding leadership and missing opportunities by tilting at ideas whose traje…https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/east-asia/2015-02-02/new-asian-order12: That brings us to a second strategic problem: we in the US strategic class seem to think that everything in Asia is a China problem—refracting every relationship, issue, and initiative in Asia through the prism of Beijing. Yes, China is a whopping strategic challenge. But ... 13: This “Sinification of everything” misunderstands the deep roots and long branches of pan-Asian ideas, institutions, and ideologies—as I warned with @Rmanning4, in this 2009 monograph for @CFR_org: cfr.org/report/united-…ImageThe United States in the New AsiaOverviewNo region of the world today is more dynamic than Asia. Across the continent, booming countries have built engines of economic growth that ha…https://www.cfr.org/report/united-states-new-asia14: But it also misunderstands the degree to which third players in the region are also driving the play. It is a mistake to view everything, as President Obama argued when talking about TPP, through the prism of “US rules” vs. “Chinese rules.” Fragmentation is much more likely. 15: So as I argued in this recent overview essay for @CarnegieEndow, the region’s likely future will be *neither* Sinocentric *nor* US-centric but fragmented, built on a discombobulated patchwork where function drives form, not the other way around:Asia’s Future Beyond U.S.-China Competition - The Day AfterBeijing and Washington are competing to set Asia’s rules, norms, and standards. But other countries in the region are increasingly choosing to shape its future themselves.https://carnegieendowment.org/2020/09/09/asia-s-future-beyond-u.s.-china-competition-pub-8250316: Thus the problem. The US continues to view most everything in the region through the prism of Beijing—as if a more “Asian” Asia would be peachy fine for US interests just so long as it isn’t “Sinocentric.” But one lesson of CPTPP and RCEP is that this is really not the case. 17: That brings us to a third strategic problem: the presumption of “Indo-Pacific” as our strategic guidepost. I love Indo-Pacific as a geographic construct. It captures something I've argued for 15 years: Asia should not be broken down into ahistorical Cold War geographies. 18: My 2011 essay in @TWQgw on “Why America No Longer Gets Asia” made this point starkly at a time when the Belt and Road didn’t exist and Xi Jinping wasn’t in power. A more connected Asia is a less American-centric Asia. But the US *still* doesn't get it: csis.org/analysis/twq-w…ImageTWQ: Why America No Longer Gets Asia - Spring 2011Asia is being reconnected at last. Chinese traders are again hawking their wares in Kyrgyz bazaars. Straits bankers are financing deals in India, with Singapore having become the second-largest source…https://www.csis.org/analysis/twq-why-america-no-longer-gets-asia-spring-201119. And if you want “Indo-Pacific” to be a policy construct, not just a geographic one, then you need to reckon with what just happened—because now the region’s two megadeals, CPTPP and RCEP, do not include the largest economies in the “Indo” or across the “Pacific.” That's bad. 20: I'll end with this: My @CarnegieEndow business card says, “Vice President, Asia-Pacific.” In Moscow last year, a senior Russian official eyed it, squinted at me, and then joked that I was a “very brave American” to retain the term “Asia” instead of “Indo-Pacific” in my title. 21: Might I bluntly suggest that, if this trendline on American power and lack of adaptation holds, we need to start thinking and talking seriously about “Asia” again. We need to weigh the implications of a more "Asian" Asia for American interests, power, strategy, and policy. 22: I wrote this almost a decade ago: Gradually, but inexorably, the region is becoming more Asian than ‘‘Asia-Pacific,’’ especially as Asian economies look to one another, not just the trans-Atlantic West, for new economic and financial arrangements ... 23: ... It is becoming more continental than sub-continental, as East and South Asia become more closely intertwined ... 24: ... And, in its continental west, it is becoming more Central *Asian* than *Eurasian*, as China develops its western regions and five former Soviet countries rediscover their Asian roots. Have written on that one at length in the context of some writing on Central Asia ... 25: The last of the six sections in this 2017 essay I wrote hopefully captures at least part of the problem. The US should stop trying to rewind the clock and start being more adaptive:Reluctant Stakeholder: Why China’s Highly Strategic Brand of Revisionism is More Challenging Than Washington ThinksTo compete in geopolitics—as in sports, business, and life—one needs to actually compete. Washington has to outperform the Chinese competition, not just belittle it.https://carnegieendowment.org/2018/04/27/reluctant-stakeholder-why-china-s-highly-strategic-brand-of-revisionism-is-more-challenging-than-washington-thinks-pub-7621326: And I know there are no easy strategic or policy answers here. None. And I certainly don't have all the answers. My point is just this: along the three strategic dimensions I refer to in this thread, we need to have a more complex, uncomfortable, and self-reflective debate. 27: And while we're at it, we will be (much) better positioned to deal with the adverse effects of the rise of Chinese power for US interests in the context of a broader Asia strategy rather than the other way around. 28: End of thread. Hope it was useful. Went way beyond what RCEP merits or deserves. The point is not to hype RCEP or dismiss RCEP. It is, rather, to be careful not to look only at RCEP (or CPTPP for that matter). There's a broader set of trends that's worth eyeballing again.
Pero, a mí no me llama la atención ese tema del post de Chameleon, sino su extraordinaria memoria, el cómo guarda los temas y va comparando la previsión (no predicción) - ¿o era al revés?, y lo dicho compara las previsiones y los resultados o lo que se ve. Aunque lo de Chameleon se puede resumir en aquello de que "hace tiempo que ppcc no pisa moqueta"
