“This government has many tools at their disposal to stimulate the economy”, this is what
Dambisa Moyo said in a debate. She said in this one that it's short-sighted to focus only
on what's happening in the markets. This is really a story about what is happening
structurally to the Chinese and global economy. If you look at capital, labor, and
productivity - the three big drivers of economic growth - all show significant weakness in
both developed and developed economies. Commodity-exporting countries, and
emerging markets, are facing rising borrowing costs and a significant deterioration in their
creditworthiness. Significant deterioration in their creditworthiness.
