Hello the author of the following article! ;-)
I really like this summary. It seems to me that all key points are clearly stated. The beginning and the ending are concise and hit the nail on the head. Moreover, the text is coherent and lots of linking words are used.
SUMMARY OF EUROPE ALREADY HAS ONE FOOT IN
“JAPANESE“ DEFLATION GRAVE
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, in The Telegraph of October 23, 2013 discusses the problem of Europe’s deflation crisis.
Evans-Prichard states that deflation makes debt worse and that it is extremely dangerous if debt surpasses 300% of GDP, which is currently the problem in Western Europe. Although inflation could solve this dilemma, it is an impossible approach to stop deflation because inflation isalready too low and plummeted to 0.9% in the euro zone.
Consequently, debt ratios are irrupting and the risk of runaway debt, which primarily affects Italy and Spain, is increasing. Italy, for example, has two options to solve the problem of runaway debt; either to pay 6.3% towards debt or accept a massive unemployment rate.
Moreover, private debt is also affected by deflation and therefore even Germany is at risk.
According to Evans-Pritchard, there are only two possible solutions to the problem. Either France, Italy, Spain and the Club Med advise the EBC to implement a relation policy; or Europe waits for the salvation of a global growth, which is highly unlikely to set in.
As the title indicates, Europe is in a highly problematic situation which could lead to a policy crisis comparable to the one in Japan.
