Re: Globalna kriza!!!
"Fed èini sve kako bi spasio Božiæ"
Business.hr/Hina
Amerièka je središnja banka juèer predstavila nove programe, vrijedne ukupno 800 milijardi dolara, prema kojima æe se, meðu ostalim, otkupljivati dugovi i vrijednosnice vezani uz hipoteke. Krajnji je cilj normalizirati kreditiranje graðana i ponovo potaknuti potrošnju, koja je u treæem tromjeseèju zabilježila pad od 3,7 posto, najveæi u posljednjih 28 godina.

"Ta je akcija poduzeta kako bi se smanjili troškovi i poveæala dostupnost kredita za kupnju kuæa, što æe podržati stambeno tržište i opæenito poboljšati uvjete na financijskom tržištu", priopæio je Fed.
No, poticanje potrošnje ne ide tako brzo, kažu analitièari, koji prve rezultate Fedovih nastojanja da potakne kreditiranje oèekuju u najboljem sluèaju tek za tri mjeseca.
"Fed èini sve kako bi spasio Božiæ, jer se veliki dio blagdanske potrošnje financira kratkoroènim kreditima. No, zbog straha graðana od slabljenja gospodarstva i nezaposlenosti, malo je vjerojatno da æe Fedove mjere preokrenuti situaciju za 180 stupnjeva", kaže James Ellman, predsjednik tvrtke Seacliff Capital.
Tim više što je sve više banaka u SAD-u u nevoljama. Juèer objavljeni podaci Savezne agencije za osiguranje depozita (FDIC) pokazuju da je lista banaka koje imaju probleme produljena u treæem tromjeseèju za gotovo 50 posto, sa 117 na 171 financijsku instituciju.
Premda je to samo 2 posto svih gotovo 8.500 institucija koje se osiguravaju kod FDIC-a, zabrinjava to što je ta lista ´problematiènih´ najdulja od 1995. godine.
"Fed èini sve kako bi spasio Božiæ"Da je financijski sustav SAD-a još daleko od mirne luke, pokazuju i sve glasniji zahtjevi amerièkih osiguravajuæih tvrtki da i one dobiju dio vladine pomoæi namijenjene financijskom sustavu.
Jedini osiguravatelj koji je dosad dobio pomoæ od vlade je American International Group, koji je spašen od bankrota sa 152 milijarde dolara proraèunskog novca. Juèer je ministar financija Henry Paulson kazao kako još nije odluèio hoæe li i druge osiguravajuæe kuæe dobiti pomoæ vlade.
Dok Paulson to ne odluèi, osiguravatelji æe nastaviti izvještavati o golemim gubicima. Tako je, primjerice, ovih dana Hartford Financial Services Group izvijestio o gubitku u treæem tromjeseèju od 2,6 milijardi dolara, što je najveæi gubitak tog osiguravatelja u njegovoj 189-godišnjoj povijesti.
A da bi moglo biti gore prije nego što bude bolje, pokazuje i najnovija procjena Meðunarodne organizacije rada (ILO) da æe slabljenje svjetskog gospodarstva izazvati u 2009. godini i pad plaæa, što bi, pak, moglo produbiti recesiju.
Nakon ovogodišnjeg rasta od 0,8 posto, iduæe bi godine prosjeèna plaæa u bogatim zemljama realno mogla pasti za 0,5 posto, procjenjuje ta agencija Ujedinjenih naroda. No, u zemljama u razvoju plaæe bi trebale porasti, posebice u Kini i Indiji, pa ILO procjenjuje da æe u iduæoj godine realne plaæe u svijetu porasti 1,1 posto, dok æe ove godine zabilježiti rast od 1,7 posto.
"Za 1,5 milijardi radnika u svijetu iduæe æe razdoblje biti teško", piše Juan Somavia, glavni direktor ILO-a u izvješæu.

Re: Globalna kriza!!!
Ko ima Ševija, Opela i Forda nadrljo je 
WASHINGTON – A bailout-weary Congress killed a $14 billion package to aid struggling U.S. automakers Thursday night after a partisan dispute over union wage cuts derailed a last-ditch effort to revive the emergency aid before year´s end.
Republicans, breaking sharply with President George W. Bush as his term draws to a close, refused to back federal aid for Detroit´s beleaguered Big Three without a guarantee that the United Auto Workers would agree by the end of next year to wage cuts to bring their pay into line with U.S. plants of Japanese carmakers. The UAW refused to do so before its current contract with the automakers expires in 2011.
The breakdown left the fate of the auto industry — and the 3 million jobs it touches — in limbo at a time of growing economic turmoil. General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have said they could be weeks from collapse. Ford Motor Co. says it does not need federal help now, but its survival is far from certain.
Democratic leaders called on Bush to immediately tap the $700 billion Wall Street bailout fund for emergency aid to the auto industry.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the bill´s collapse "a loss for the country," adding: "I dread looking at Wall Street tomorrow. It´s not going to be a pleasant sight."
GM said in a statement it was "deeply disappointed" that the bipartisan agreement faltered. "We will assess all of our options to continue our restructuring and to obtain the means to weather the current economic crisis," the company said. Chrysler, too, said it "will continue to pursue a workable solution to help ensure the future viability of the company."
The White House said it was evaluating its options in light of the breakdown on Capitol Hill.
"It´s disappointing that Congress failed to act tonight," Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto said in a statement. "We think the legislation we negotiated provided an opportunity to use funds already appropriated for automakers and presented the best chance to avoid a disorderly bankruptcy while ensuring taxpayer funds only go to firms whose stakeholders were prepared to make difficult decisions to become viable."
That bill — the product of a hard-fought negotiation between congressional Democrats and the Bush White House — was virtually dead on arrival in the Senate, where Republicans said it was too weak in its demands on the car companies and contained unacceptable environmental mandates for the Big Three.
Thursday´s implosion followed yet another set of marathon negotiations at the Capitol — this time involving labor, the auto industry and lawmakers. The group came close to agreement, but it stalled over the UAW´s refusal to agree to the wage concessions.
"We were about three words away from a deal," said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the GOP´s point man in the negotiations, referring to any date in 2009 on which the UAW would accept wage cuts.
The Senate rejected the bailout 52-35 on a procedural vote — well short of the 60 required — after the talks fell apart. Just 10 Republicans joined 40 Democrats and two independents in backing it. Three Democrats sided with 31 Republicans in opposition. Reid also voted "no" for procedural reasons.
Congress is not scheduled to return for legislative work until early January.
Some Senate Democrats joined Republicans in turning against the House-passed bill — despite increasingly urgent expressions of support from the White House and President-elect Barack Obama for quick action to spare the economy the added pain of a potential automaker collapse.
"In the midst of already deep and troubling economic times, we are about to add to that by walking away," said Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., the Banking Committee chairman who led negotiations on the package.
Alan Reuther, the UAW´s legislative director, declined comment to reporters as he left a meeting room during negotiations. The union had no immediate reaction to the bailout´s defeat.
The stunning disintegration was eerily reminiscent of the defeat of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout in the House, which sent the Dow tumbling and lawmakers back to the drawing board to draft a new agreement to rescue financial institutions and halt a broader economic meltdown. That measure ultimately passed and was signed by Bush.
It wasn´t immediately clear, however, how the auto aid measure might be resurrected, with Congress now set to depart for the year.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Senate Republicans´ refusal to support the White House-negotiated bill irresponsible and urged the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve to provide short-term relief for the automakers. "That is the only viable option available at this time," she said.
Congressional Republicans have been in open revolt against Bush over the auto bailout. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky joined other GOP lawmakers Thursday in announcing his opposition to the White House-backed bill, which passed the House on Wednesday. He and other Republicans insisted that the carmakers restructure their debt and bring wages and benefits in line with those paid by Toyota, Honda and Nissan in the United States.
Hourly wages for UAW workers at GM factories are about equal to those paid by Toyota Motor Corp. at its older U.S. factories, according to the companies. GM says the average UAW laborer makes $29.78 per hour, while Toyota says it pays about $30 per hour. But the unionized factories have far higher benefit costs.
GM says its total hourly labor costs are now $69, including wages, pensions and health care for active workers, plus the pension and health care costs of more than 432,000 retirees and spouses. Toyota says its total costs are around $48. The Japanese automaker has far fewer retirees and its pension and health care benefits are not as rich as those paid to UAW workers.
Republicans also bitterly opposed tougher environmental rules carmakers would have to meet as part of the House-passed version of the rescue package, and the Senate dropped them from its plan.
The House-passed bill would have created a Bush-appointed overseer to dole out the money. At the same time, carmakers would have been compelled to return the aid if the "car czar" decided the carmakers hadn´t done enough to restructure by spring.
The House approved its plan late Wednesday on a vote of 237-170.
A pair of polls released Thursday indicated that the public is dubious about the rescue plan.
Just 39 percent said it would be right to spend billions in loans to keep GM, Ford and Chrysler in business, according to a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just 45 percent of Democrats and 31 percent of Republicans supported the idea.
In a separate Marist College poll, 48 percent said they oppose federal loans for the struggling automakers while 41 percent approved.
