Case Study
International trade is shrinking fast amid the global credit crunch and economic recession, that was triggered by the US sub-prime loan problem. The economic downturn is so significant and extensive that countries across the world now see their trade figures contracting. The effects of these negative developments are now impacting global trade.
The total value of a country’s imports is determined by its economic size. Thus economic contraction results in a decrease in international trade. Meanwhile, a reduction in exports leads to a decrease in domestic demand, hence contributing to an economic downturn.
The vicious cycle of contracting trade leading to further deterioration of the world economy must be stopped. To find a way out, in the short turn we have no choice but to count on the monetary and fiscal policies of the countries involved. Following moves made by the US at the epicenter of the economic turmoil, where the government and monetary authorities had taken steps to facilitate the disposal of bad asserts, ease credit and roll out significant fiscal stimulus programs, the Japanese authorities implemented their own fiscal stimulus and monetary easing measures. These measures, which were implemented in rapid succession at the end of 2008, were justifiable and necessary short-term responses to the crisis.
In addition to issues that require macroeconomic policy measures, additional issues must be addressed through trade policy in order to break the vicious cycle of economic recession and trade contraction.
In the midst of the present economic downturn, calls for the protection of domestic industries and workers have been mounting since 2008 in countries across the world.
