Off-balance sheet shadow lending by Chinese banks.
01/12/2010
Even after the efforts to restrain lending in 2010 in China following heightened stimulus lending in 2009, the level of bank lending has exceeded 10.5 trillion yuan and is at the same level as 2009. This includes the lending through trusts and other mechanisms according to Fitch Ratings. This explains the inflationary pressures and property bubble.

Marketing push by Japanese automakers including higher incentives and higher inventory levels at U.S. automakers 2012-2014
01/12/2010
Japanese automakers have sharply increased incentives to increase sales after the tsunami. This hits U.S. automakers in a double whammy. Ford, GM and Chrysler benefitted from the impact of reduced supply at dealers of Japanese automakers, now they have to deal with a reversal of that situation as well as higher incentives by the Japanese. About 38% of Toyota sales are at zero percent financing in 2012. U.S. automakers are reluctant to go too far down the incentives road as it has hurt them in the past. The result is higher dealer inventories for U.S. automakers in Dec. 2012, another problem that hurt automakers in the past.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
