عنوان درس: رشد اقتصادی آمریکا شروع شده است

به گزارش گوش بدهيد

Figures suggest the recession in the US is over and a recovery underway. Spending by consumers increased for most types of goods and services, including cars. Business investment also rose for the first time in two years. But there are concerns that this improvement is too dependent on government spending, such as subsidies to replace old cars. Certainly the US Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, was not ready to claim victory in tackling the recession.

Tim Geithner: 'This is just a beginning. Unemployment remains unacceptably high. For every person out of work, for every family facing foreclosure, for every small business facing a credit crunch, the recession remains alive and acute'.

Among the other leading developed economies, France, Germany and Japan returned to economic growth three months earlier than the US, though the downturn was deeper in Germany and Japan. Britain is the only other major economy to report its performance for the third quarter. Unlike the US, Britain showed a continued decline. The global picture is thus one of a widening recovery. But it has not reached everywhere and it is not particularly strong.
