訪米中の
ベトナムのズン首相がグリーンスパン前FRB議長と会談したそうです。
グリーンスパンは、ベトナムは2008年のGDPが7%では投資家に悪いサインを与えるのでさらに減速すべきと言ったそうです。
(7%ではインフレを抑えられないと思っているようです。)
以下は、英語の引用のままです。
Related to Vietnam’s growth rate, the senior US economist suggested that Viet Nam further cut its growth rate target because it would be a wrong sign for investors if Viet Nam maintained a growth rate of 7%.
The Vietnamese economy relies on cheap labour cost while other countries like China have passed this period and are competing with real productivity.
He said inflation is not a new thing to Viet Nam. In the past 20 years, there were times that Viet Nam faced many difficulties. The government needs to take strong actions and accept shrinking the economy. When the situation is stable, Viet Nam can develop as quickly as it likes.
“Viet Nam doesn’t benefit from the increase of oil prices like Russia or some countries. My recommendation is the government continue its current measures, but with big groups,” Greenspan said.
He said the Vietnamese government needs to have measures to restrict the massive investments of groups, which affects small- and medium-size enterprises and restricts their own dynamism and that of the whole economy.
金利はまだ上がるかも。あるいはさらなる公共事業削減等、別の手段かもしれませんが。
