Individual participation in overcoming recession

Posted by – October 30, 2009

recessionIf we analyze the recession 2010 of United States, we may trace many reasons behind the financial down fall. The down fall as well as the factors may be interdependent it means that there is a possibility that the recession has been caused by lets say individual approaches towards banking and investment. And there is also a possibility that the recession has caused the individuals distrust the banking system. But individuals have less likelihood of being a reason for recession. Macro levels issues have contributed to it most probably. However, it is the case that now we Americans doubt in the safety of our money if kept in banks. It is also feared that this recession will lead United States of America to a depression like the prior great depression of 1930s. People are not investing and placing money in banks as the banks are not providing loans. Even the firms are closing down or are going through crisis due to the losses in business. Everyone is uncertain about what is going to happen in the country. Banks are unable to prevent bankruptcies.

Household money is not properly channeled to the investment. The government sold bills for no purpose which has reduced the availability of the investment bank credit. Many things are collectively making the situation worse. The individual as well as mass level strategies are needed to come out of the situation. Although new strategies suggested by the policy makers and think tanks have flaws and draw backs but still these strategies can prevent the recession. At individual level it is required that we live with in our limited means. Self sufficiency is the most important thing US people need today at individual as well as at the mass level. The state should take measure sin which it does not have to take the funds from external sources. We must regain confidence in lending money.

Money is safe in banks. We must believe in it. The banks can only lend money if they are in strong positions and can recover the losses. The investment is possible with peace in the country. As the economy of United States has multinational firms that are contributing to its national income, they operate in the regions which are on war. Due to wars and political instability the Asian region which is a big market for western sellers, leads to losses for such multinationals.

Repercussions of financial recession 2010

Posted by – October 29, 2009

The recession is a condition in which the turn down of economy takes place. It has been feared by developed as well as developing countries alike. The developed countries are not safe in this regard as they may have higher chances of down fall if inappropriate strategies are used to run monetary and fiscal matters of a state. The recession appearing since last couple of years has now taken severe and worse ever shape. It is affecting not only United States but also the other western developed states. The interlinked trade, business and banking system are the means through which this recession is traveling between these countries. Every state is trying to device measures to overcome the situation. Still the exact reasons for the recession are unknown. So the question arises that how the problem of recession can be tackled without knowing the exact root cause! The financial and monetary system of United States is complex to be understood. Repercussions of this financial recession are blurry. The housing and industry is deteriorating. Individuals need certain steps in order to avoid the effects. Although the state is providing unemployment benefits but the talent is going wasted due to the unemployment. This may cause, at social level, psychological disorders. People may start feeling insecure and depressed. In such conditions, the business men class suffers the most. It is the need of time that the policies which encourage investment by the business men must be facilitated. Provision of loans must be ensured by strengthening and re-establishing the banking policies. The unneeded spending must be stopped by the state as a remedy to cure the recession. At individual level, it must be kept in mind that paying back the loan as soon as possible is good for the economy. But mostly the loans are not returned due to losses to the businesses that are started by the credit taken by the banks. Banks are week now. We must admit this fact and help banking sector to reduce the threats to finance. The bills of electricity, mobile, gas and grocery must be cut down to save money. Bank your savings as it is safe. Banks can function smoothly for the society when they are supported by individuals of the society. The society controls individuals and individuals control the society (social institutions), so both must be supportive of each other to save United States of America from being caught by another worse depression like great depression.

Stock market and financial recession

Posted by – October 29, 2009

BULLIt is the time for United States to make itself self sufficient in all respects to overcome the recession as soon as possible as it may become a depression if remained uncontrolled over long term. It is generally feared that this banking and stock market crisis may not be a sign of depression in the future coming years. The unemployment, reduced investment and money supply problem is pressuring the experts to think it as a presage of depression. In such circumstances people fear the recession effects on the stock exchange as well like other economy sectors. But luckily, it has been found by the United States stock exchange that it is not suffering any trends of the recession 2010. Investors are still trusting United States stock exchange and are investing in it. For this reason, the stock exchange is showing a bullish trend with growing business and share holders. It may be possible that people have lost trust on banks so they are spending and investing in the shares of stock exchange. But whatever, this trend is healthy to repair the rest of the economy. It is also a need of time that this trend must be maintained to keep the economy growing. Equities and bonds are showing a positive trend as well. It is believed that this recession is the worst one and has impeded all the business channels of United States. Although it is not a depression, just a recession, economy can revive from this situation with suitable and effective policies, but still the depression seems evident. The reason for this can be the war. If the war against terrorism is ended the economy maybe revived. But if the hand is withdrawn from war, insecurity will spread in the United States. A good multi facet policy is needed by the country. The consumer wealth has been reduced along with other issues. The experts think of different reasons for the recession 2010 as the difference of perspectives. But now the United States of America states that the pace of decline has been slowed down by adopting certain measures. The country has changed the policy actions and regulatory authority in this regard. But in short, the stock exchange can act as a support sector for the banking crisis and by this the government can strengthen other sectors as well.

The need is that we trust our banks, place and save our money with it to save our economy.

The current US financial downfall has made people argue that it has been the severe recession in the last fifty years. United States has not been in such a condition since World War II. Ineffective strategies and inappropriate monitoring of the banking system over last few years has led to this situation. The reasons for the downfall are still unknown. But many strategies have been suggested to crash_smallovercome this crisis. But its impacts are evident in the European economies as well. It is also known as the recession of 2010. The stock exchange as well as bank sector is going through a decline. Investment has been reduced due to the unavailability of loans from the banks. On the other hand, banks fear the recovery of loans and hence are reducing the credit every month. The recession 2010 has been resembled by the experts with the Japanese recession of 1990’s when the real estate values of Japan fell drastically.

Many banks became insolvent as well as the stock exchange faced bearish trends. How it turn out to be probable! It is a widely asked question about the Japanese recession as it has an industry which is well reputed and is considered as a developed country. The banks of Japan faced lack of credit to offer to the borrowers in the recession. The similar is the case now with United States of America the United States can follow the strategy adopted by Japan to over come that situation. Still Japan has net recovered the losses and is going with a slow economic growth. But its economy is now showing positive and growing trends. The United States condition in this recession also resembles the case of great depression of 1930s. There are many similarities of this present recession and great depression of 1930s. Few of them which are considered by people as the depression signs are discussed here.

Cope up with Recession 2010

Posted by – October 29, 2009

recessionThe recession 2010 is believed to affect all the developed countries of the world in many socio and economic ways. The recession is due to up set financial and stock exchange down fall, especially in the United States of America. The other countries of Europe are also facing the dangers which perhaps would make them financially weak and unstable. The root causes of this recession are unknown but the peace and world wide disturbance has surely weakened the economies of developed countries. People are not investing due to insecurity by terrorism. Banks are not providing credit at the previous rate as it is becoming difficult for them to recover the loans.

The United States government bought the bonds of its foreign and local investors which left the investors with an image that United States is devaluing its debts. This may become a problem for the repute of United States economy in long run so must be tackled at this point in time. Many experts call this recession as the great depression of World War II. Government now has to sell treasury bonds to the investors in order to get finance. If this fails the state must rely on tax payers’ money. This will help the state to raise funds needed to increase the credit for development projects and credit. Government can start borrowing loans from people by increasing interest rate and also can lend more money through bank credit with low interest for creditors. This can help control the unemployment and can increase the investment in the country. Money supply can be increased by publishing notes but this may not be needed if taxes and financial tools are used. There must be a government owned bank in which the credits of commercial banks may be transferred to increase and alter their credit rules and worth. There must be a solid bankruptcy and financial system in the state. The recovery of loans must be guaranteed and the loans musts be issued to the people who can mortgage their property or are able to pay back the loans. There must be no factor operating that hinders the debt payback by the debtors. Moreover, United States economy must avoid issuing new money as a new government bank would have been established to carry the finance and credit of all commercial banks. The purpose of this bank will be to store and save the money of the commercial banks. It will not issue any credit rather it will remain there to monitor the other banks issuing the credit. However, the credit issuance always has risks so the new system of banking will have its own risks. A careful and up to date monitoring of the system would be highly needed to prevent the risks.

The experts and think tanks are trying hard to device banking and finance strategies to overcome this crisis.

This is indeed a big cut of finance and investment. The reduced credit issuing means reduced investment and hence the unemployment will further increase. The money balance is deteriorating rapidly and severely. Approximately the money supply has reduced to about a 5% in United States of America during last year. The factors contributing to the reduction in money supply have not been pointed out yet. United States had such financial issues during 1930s.

The state has been buying the bonds for an ineffective financial strategy. This policy of easing quantitative must be changed to assure the other economic giant economies of the world that United States in not devaluing its debt. However it is also believed that there is a pressure on the banks for increasing the capital ratios. Due to this reason, the banks are cutting the credit by 1% every month.
