The People's Bank of China's injection of $65 billion into China's banking system in Dec. 2014 and other moves in 2015 to spur bank lending
12/12/2014
China's central bank injects money into the banking system as banks are reluctant to lend and expected growth slows to below 7%. PBOC is also concerned about the excessive debt buildup as it guides the economy. PBOC lowered the reserve requirement by one half percentage point in Feb. 2015 to free up $81 billion for lending at banks, with other targeted moves for small business and agriculture.

China's stalling economy and productivity growth- the need for new direction in 2013-2015
03/06/2012
Bloomberg estimates show every one dollar of new credit created now yields about 17 cents in GDP growth as old polices of state led growth are no longer working. This compares to over 83 cents in 2007. Financial repression by reducing interest rates for savers is further depressing consumer spending when it is most needed to rebalance the economy towards domestic consumption.

China's smaller, focussed and carefully balanced stimulus in April 2014
04/03/2014
With surging credit growth this stimulus is smaller, and being financed by the federal government which has more leeway than local governments burdened with debt. The carefully calibrated credit growth is seen as a smaller risk- as China's credit growth has reached bubble proportions- than letting the economy grow below about the 7% needed to create 10 million new jobs. The investments are focussed on railways in southern and western China to support new export based industries, and on low income housing for shantytowns. This gives a chance for poorer regions and poorer sections of the population to catchup as the focus shifts to reforms, and new emphasis on pollution and other indicators of better living conditions.

How Emerging Markets Can Get Their Mojo Back

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.
