IMF asks rich nations for support
Live MintWashington: The International Monetary Fund, showing heightened concern over a slowing world economy, said on Tuesday that cash-rich countries like Germany needed to step up large public investments to help keep the flagging global recovery on track. “This is a very unbalanced recovery.” Fund economists expect annual growth in the euro zone of just 0.8%, with inflation coming in at 0.9%—a figure that Lagarde raised pointed concerns about. “But now it’s there.” The fund unveiled this week a paper arguing that large-scale infrastructure investments, if properly undertaken, could bring relatively quick growth benefits—a message that seemed to be directed at deficit-obsessed euro zone governments, including Germany. “Infrastructure investment, even if debt-financed, may well be justified,” Olivier Blanchard, the fund’s senior economist, said at the news conference on Tuesday. “It is an irony of macroeconomics,” he said with a small smile, “that for countries with too much debt, sometimes the solution is to create more debt.” Blanchard, who oversees economic research at the IMF, was behind the fund’s public recognition two years ago that heavy-handed austerity policies in Europe had a larger-than-expected impact on economic growth.
