Viimane kauplemispäev enne reede ja kolmeteistkümnendat… Kui USA majandust stimuleeriva paketi suuruseks on pisut alla $800 miljardi, siis Austraalias jäi US$28 miljardiline pakett napilt vastu võtmata.
Aga üritame neid stimuleerimispakette konteksti panna. Austraalia pakett US$28 on nende 2008. aasta $825 miljardilisest SKPst PPP põhjal 3.4%. USA $790 miljardiline pakett on Ameerika $14.58 triljonilisest SKPst 5.4%. USA poliitikud liikumas maailmas jätkuvalt ühena agressiivseimatest nii monetaar- kui eelarvepoliitikas. Aga eks probleemide suurus ole ka põhjuseks.
Kui olen laupäeval CNN-i peale pannud, oleks justkui märganud, et Aasias on mõned lahti.
pühapäeviti on lahti Lähis-Ida börsid.

The Wall Street Journal reports Congress and the White House reached accord on a $789.5 bln economic-recovery package that would shower hundreds of billions of dollars in tax relief on individuals and businesses and spark an infrastructure building boom, from the nation's ports and waterways to its schools and military bases. Both Mr. Obama and Democratic leaders lowered their work-creation expectation Wednesday. They had originally said their goal was to create, or save, four mln jobs. Last night, they cut that to 3.5 mln. The president has framed the deal as the first leg of an economic program aimed also at unclogging credit markets, lifting the housing market and tightening regulation of the financial and banking sector. The agreement came late Wednesday after last-minute dickering over education and school-construction funds that dramatized the intensity of negotiations.
The House and Senate convened a conference committee to bless the legislation and clear the way for action in the House as early as Thursday. Both chambers are expected to pass the compromise shortly. Full details weren't released Wednesday, as aides met late to draft formal language and said tinkering was still possible well into the night. About $282 bln of the bill, or 35%, is dedicated to tax cuts, split roughly evenly between incentives for businesses and individuals. The rest is spending, including expanded unemployment benefits, food stamps and construction of highways and bridges, water-treatment facilities and high-speed Internet service, among other things. A proposed $35 bln credit to support home sales was jettisoned in favor of a more modest $2-3 bln provision. The proposal would eliminate the repayment requirement in an existing tax credit for first-time home buyers, and raise the credit to $8,000 from $7,500. Congressional aides cautioned Wednesday that the credit's size was still subject to negotiation.
