China growth to fall behind rest of Asia for first time since 1990

World Bank is latest financial institution to slash Chinese economic forecast

China’s economic output will lag behind the rest of Asia for the first time since 1990, according to new World Bank forecasts that highlight the damage wrought by President Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid policies and the meltdown of the world’s biggest property market.

The World Bank has revised down its forecast for gross domestic product growth in the world’s second-largest economy to 2.8 per cent, compared with 8.1 per cent last year, and from its prediction in April of between 4 and 5 per cent for this year.

At the same time, expectations for the rest of east Asia and the Pacific have improved. The region, excluding China, is expected to grow 5.3 per cent in 2022, up from 2.6 per cent last year, thanks to high commodity prices and a rebound in domestic consumption after the coronavirus pandemic.

“China, which was leading the recovery from the pandemic, and largely shrugged off the Delta [Covid variant] difficulties, is now paying the economic cost of containing the disease in its most infectious manifestation,” Aaditya Mattoo, the World Bank’s chief economist for east Asia and the Pacific, told the Financial Times.

China had set a GDP target of about 5.5 per cent this year, which would have been a three-decade low. But the outlook has deteriorated markedly over the past six months.

Xi’s policy of relentlessly suppressing coronavirus outbreaks through snap lockdowns and mass testing has restricted mobility and sapped consumer activity just as China’s property sector — which accounts for about 30 per cent of economic activity — suffers a historic collapse.

The Washington-based group’s latest forecast follows a series of financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs and Nomura, slashing their outlook for next year. The rise in pessimism is based on expectations that Xi will prolong his zero-Covid policy beyond 2022.

Many economists and analysts had predicted Beijing would significantly increase stimulus measures in response to flagging economic growth, accelerating easing measures to boost consumption and help arrest the housing market downturn.

However, Mattoo said that while China had “immense ammunition to provide powerful stimulus”, it appeared Beijing had concluded that fiscal stimulus would be “emasculated” by the zero-Covid restrictions.

The data come against a backdrop of broader concerns that Xi — who is set to secure an unprecedented third term as leader of the Chinese Communist party next month — is undoing the economic dynamism that began under Deng Xiaoping’s reform era.

The World Bank also worried that the property slowdown represents a deep “structural” problem. To reduce the immediate risk of contagion from the property sector “turmoil”, the bank said Beijing needs to provide more liquidity support to distressed developers and financial guarantees for project completion. In the long term, however, fiscal reforms are needed to give local governments revenue sources beyond land sales, including a property tax.

By contrast, economies in east Asia and the Pacific, particularly the export-driven economies of south-east Asia, are mostly expected to grow faster and have lower inflation in 2022.

In Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, government fuel subsidies have helped keep inflation low by global standards. Domestic consumption has risen as the region abandoned lockdowns and stricter approaches to managing the pandemic.

At the same time, higher commodity prices sparked by the global energy crisis have boosted the region’s export-reliant economies. Indonesia, a big exporter of coal, last week revealed that exports brought in a record $27.9bn in August.

Some central banks, including in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, have started raising interest rates.

Even so, the region was under less pressure than other parts of the world, said Mattoo. “I think the gradual tightening we’re seeing . . . can be sustained for some time.”

Some of the measures such as food and fuel subsidies, however, could become a drag on growth by the end of the year, the bank warned. Price controls distort the market, often helping the wealthy and large corporations while increasing public debt, according to the report.

Already there are signs of stress. Mongolia and Laos have high debt levels — large shares of which are denominated in foreign currencies — and are vulnerable to global inflation and subsequent exchange rate depreciation.

“I would say that at this stage, this is something that needs to be watched, rather than a source of serious concern,” said Mattoo.

A "painfull recession" un 4,4 % de paro!

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJ

Niñatos advenedizos!

Tormentitas a Noe!!!

Órdago,  coño!!!!!

 

Algo sí que debe de estar pasando...

Los residentes de la 'Tent city', como se conoce en EEUU a estos campamentos, no son sólo vagabundos alcohólicos, sino también numerosas familias con niños que han perdido sus trabajos y sus casas por no poder afrontar los pagos de la hipoteca.

[...]

Según una encuesta del Centro Nacional Para Familias sin Hogar, unos 1,5 millones de niños en EEUU, uno de cada 50, carecen de vivienda, pero la propia organización reconoce que las cifras están desfasadas.

La crisis obliga a miles de familias americanas a vivir en tiendas de campaña
https://www.publico.es/actualidad/crisis-obliga-miles-familias-americanas.html
Eran trabajadores de clase media que vivían en casas con jardín. La recesión los ha empujado hacia lo inimaginable

En EEUU no hay la red de protección que hay en Europa. Perder el trabajo supone el riesgo de perderlo todo si no se encuentra otro pronto.

Por eso se activó allí la Gran Renuncia antes que en otros sitios. Cuando empezó la pandemia muchos trabajadores se fueron inmisericordemente a la calle. Los mismos que en cosa de dos meses se les pidió volver porque había muchísima faena necesaria. Ahí muchos dijeron basta.

El personal lleva décadas comiéndose una crisis tras otra, está ya muy quemado, y el invierno demográfico le empieza a dar poder para renunciar. Se acabaron las huidas hacia adelante, los "headquarters" tienen que cargarse ya el popularcapitalismo si quieren evitar un colapso total.

Declaran la emergencia por tres fugas en los gasoductos Nord Stream 1 y 2 en Dinamarca y Suecia
Las autoridades informaron inicialmente de una fuga en el Nord Stream 2 en aguas danesas en el Báltico y, posteriormente, de otras dos en el Nord Stream 1

Para contexto (8 feb 2022)

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/08/business/nord-stream-2-germany-biden/index.html

London CNN Business  —

President Joe Biden said Monday that natural gas will not flow through Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany if Moscow orders an invasion of Ukraine.

What does an $11 billion undersea pipeline between Russia and Germany have to do with Ukraine? And why is it such a big deal? The answer has everything to do with how Europe gets its energy.

A mí me parece que la columna de hoy de Guadalupe Sánchez está muy acertada (creo que tanto podría ir en éste hilo, como en el de A Brave New World):

Meloni o el preludio del desencanto
«El gran error de Meloni radica tanto en disparar al capitalismo, como en intentar competir en el terreno de la identidad».
https://theobjective.com/elsubjetivo/opinion/2022-09-27/meloni-italia-desencanto/

Y yo tampoco entendería el alboroto con su elección, salvo si recordamos que las mujeres muy feministas y mucho feministas de la "izquierda" tienen hacia sus congéneres mucha sororidad, hasta que les hacen alguna crítica, y entonces la sororidad desaparece en cero coma.
