Economic Rebalancing Acts

Rebalancing the US China Economic Relationship

Technological progress has trumped obstacles to economic growth. Periodic political rebalancing, sometimes peaceful, sometimes not, has ensured that the vast majority of people have benefited, albeit some far more than others.

On their own, currency markets will not bring about the growth enhancing global economic rebalancing that is needed. Better policies at the national, regional, and global levels are also essential and that requires better politics.

Asia s Rebalancing Act

But it is doubtful that China can achieve the consumption driven rebalancing that it seeks. After all, no high performing East Asian economy has achieved such a rebalancing in the past, and China has a similar growth model.

Against this background, South Korea s new growth strategy should aim to achieve both a demand side rebalancing and supply side productivity increases.

This convergence will contribute to more sustainable economic growth, with Asia s economies rebalancing toward domestic demand, especially household consumption, and thereby becoming less vulnerable to external shocks. Given the decline in export demand since the global economic crisis, this shift could not be timelier.

China s rebalancing is apparent, first and foremost, in the export sector. Export growth has slowed from its 2001 2008 average of 29 annually to below 10 , making foreign demand a far less critical engine of growth.

There is one obvious and important caveat Poor Sino Japanese relations, owing to unresolved historical grievances, could prevent Japan from realizing the economic benefits implied by China s economic rebalancing.

Globalization has brought unprecedented economic growth.

(ii) Faster rate of economic growth

But, at a time of weakening economic performance, China cannot afford an implosion of the real estate sector, which accounts for at least 30 of overall growth. Indeed, though China s government has expressed its willingness to sacrifice some growth in its pursuit of structural reform and rebalancing, the impact of a housing market collapse on the financial sector would cause growth to slow beyond the acceptable limit.

And it became ever clearer that economic growth doesn't automatically translate into social growth or human growth.

The Chinese rightly understand that they must focus more on the quality of growth rebalancing their economy away from exports and toward domestic consumption than on sheer output. But, even with China s change in focus, and despite adverse global economic conditions, growth of around 7 should sustain commodity prices, thereby benefiting exports from Africa and Latin America.

Low inflation is already a serious obstacle to economic recovery and rebalancing within the eurozone. Outright deflation would be an even more dangerous threat.

But at the margin, economic growth is heavily skewed toward exports and fixed investment as the primary means of absorbing surplus labor and spreading prosperity. In a post crisis world impaired by America s zombie consumers export led Asia is in serious need of a pro consumption rebalancing.

The Indonesian Government points out that East Timor s economic growth almost parallel led the rapid economic growth of East Java and Yogjakarta.
