Martin Feldstein on how a decline in the value of the euro would help reduce the current account and trade deficits of troubled eurozone countries

06/28/2012

Feldstein says a decline in the value of the euro would reduce imports and increase exports of troubled eurozone countries in relation to non-euro countries. This would help the economic recovery in these countries. A slower rate of wage growth in these countries and higher wage growth in Germany would help improve their competitiveness with Germany over time. These actions in addition to reforms and restructuring to improve labor competitiveness would help these countries return to growth.

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.
