International Monetary Fund (IMF) & WORLD BANK : a third of the global economy will be in recession this year.

 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that a third of the global economy will be in recession this year. Kristalina Georgieva said 2023 will be "tougher" than last year as the US, EU and China see their economies slow. The war in Ukraine, rising prices, higher interest rates, and the spread of Covid in China have weighed on the global economy.

World Bank Warns Global Economy "Perilously Close To Falling Into Recession"  by: BY TYLER DURDEN

TUESDAY, JAN 10, 2023 - 11:01 PM
Six months ago, The World Bank slashed its global growth outlook for 2022 and 2023 to +2.9% and +3.0% respectively blaming "the war in Ukraine, lockdowns in China, supply-chain disruptions, and the risk of stagflation" for hammering growth.

Today, in its latest report on global economic prospects, The World Bank has slashed its growth forecast for 2023 by almost a half to just +1.7%, led by weaker growth in all the world's top economies — the United States, Europe and China.

“Global growth has slowed to the extent that the global economy is perilously close to falling into recession,” the World Bank said.

That would mark the third-weakest pace of global growth in nearly three decades, overshadowed only by the 2009 and 2020 downturns.

The World Bank called on global central banks to remain alert to the risk that aggressively tightening monetary policy to fight inflation could spill across borders. The new report called for discussions between central bankers to “help mitigate risks associated with financial stability and avoid an excessive global economic slowdown in the pursuit of inflation objectives.”

“Weakness in growth and business investment will compound the already devastating reversals in education, health, poverty, and infrastructure and the increasing demands from climate change,” said David Malpass, president of the World Bank.

For now, those central bankers are facing their nemesis... Stagflation...

Though the United States might avoid a recession this year - the World Bank predicts the U.S. economy will eke out growth of 0.5% - global weakness will likely pose another headwind for America's businesses and consumers, on top of high prices and more expensive borrowing rates.

The United States also remains vulnerable to further supply chain disruptions if COVID keeps surging or the war in Ukraine worsens.

And Europe, long a major exporter to China, will likely suffer from a weaker Chinese economy, projecting that the EU's economy won't grow at all next year after having expanded 3.3% in 2022.

It foresees China growing 4.3%, nearly a percentage point lower than it had previously forecast, and about half the pace that Beijing posted in 2021.

“The risks that we warned of six months ago have materialised and our worst-case scenario is now our baseline scenario,” said Ayhan Kose, the World Bank economist responsible for the report.

“The world’s economy is on a razor’s edge and could easily fall into recession if financial conditions tighten.”

If the World Bank’s gloomy prognosis was realised, the current decade would become the first since the 1930s to experience two global recessions.

The report follows a similarly gloomy forecast a week earlier from Kristina Georgieva, the head of the IMF, the global lending agency. Georgieva estimated on CBS' “Face the Nation” that one-third of the world will fall into recession this year.

"Pada masa saya jadi Perdana Menteri kali pertama, saya pergi cuti selama dua bulan. Semasa saya cuti, Anwar sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri (TPM), diberi tanggungjawab sebagai pemangku Perdana Menteri, tetapi nampak dia tak dapat menangani masalah.

"Selepas itu pula, berlaku krisis kewangan yang mana ringgit Malaysia turun nilainya. Pada masa itu, Anwar juga menjadi Menteri Kewangan.

"Cara dia menangani masalah kejatuhan nilai ringgit itu dengan mengikuti pendapat IMF dan Bank Dunia. Saya berpendapat, kalau kita ikut IMF dan Bank Dunia, kita akan jadi muflis dan kita tak dapat laksanakan dasar ekonomi negara kita.

"Tetapi Anwar tak ada cadangan yang lain selain daripada mengikuti IMF dan Bank Dunia, sebab itu saya terpaksa ambil alih tugas Kementerian Kewangan, saya cari jalan untuk selamatkan negara," katanya dalam temu bual eksklusif dengan BH di Yayasan Kepimpinan Perdana di sini, baru-baru ini.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditanya pandangannya sama ada Anwar memiliki keupayaan untuk menakhodai Malaysia berdepan cabaran kemelesetan ekonomi yang diramal melanda dunia tahun depan.

Dr Mahathir berkata, jika dibenarkan Anwar berkuasa dan melaksanakan dasarnya, beliau yakin negara tidak akan dapat mengatasi masalah krisis kewangan ketika krisis berkenaan.

Germany risks becoming a “dysfunctional state”

 Deputy head of the Bundestag said that Germany risks becoming a “dysfunctional state”

According to Wolfgang Kubicki, Germany must address the infrastructure crisis, high energy prices, and the Bundeswehr’s inability to protect the country.

Many Germans believe that Germany is on the verge of becoming a dysfunctional state as a result of the German authorities’ inability to solve the accumulated problems. This was stated by the deputy chairman of the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP, Liberals), Vice-Chairman of the Bundestag Wolfgang Kubicki, in an interview with the newspaper Bild am Sonntag on Saturday.

“Many residents believe that Germany is on the verge of becoming dysfunctional. Infrastructure, energy prices, and the Bundeswehr’s inability to protect the country – we must address these issues now or things will get worse “He stated. “We were elected to improve the country’s and its citizens’ well-being, not to jeopardize it. Our economy must remain buoyant “Kubicki explained.

“If we continue to act in the same spirit, paying aid for years as part of the fight against the energy crisis, we may face state socialism, if not state bankruptcy,” he added. Kubicki pointed out that the €110 billion that Germany intends to spend solely on energy imports due to the current crisis will be lost in other areas. “We cannot stay in this financial crisis for long; otherwise, there will not be enough money for investment,” believes the deputy chairman of the Bundestag.

Kubicki criticized the “greens'” position on energy policy first and foremost. “We do not want or do not receive more gas or oil from Russia, while our “green” friends restart coal-fired power plants, preventing a reasonable extension of nuclear power plant operations,” he said. “I am outraged that we as a “traffic light” coalition are not able to use all of the opportunities to obtain sufficient and affordable amounts of energy in such difficult times for citizens and, above all, our economy,” Kubicki said. He recalled that the “greens” are opposed to the exploration of gas fields in the North Sea, despite an agreement reached during coalition talks last year

“We pay exorbitant prices for liquefied natural gas from Qatar, the UAE, and the United States while refusing to extract our more affordable shale gas for ideological reasons. That will not do! “The politician emphasized. “We need to get better at dealing with crises,” Kubicki believes.

Heart-Mind Relationship

The Heart–Brain Connection

Most of us have been taught in school that the heart is constantly responding to “orders” sent by the brain in the form of neural signals. However, it is not as commonly known that the heart actually sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart! Moreover, these heart signals have a significant effect on brain function – influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. In other words, not only does the heart respond to the brain, but the brain continuously responds to the heart.

The effect of heart activity on brain function has been researched extensively over about the past 40 years. Earlier research mainly examined the effects of heart activity occurring on a very short time scale – over several consecutive heartbeats at maximum. Scientists at the HeartMath Institute have extended this body of scientific research by looking at how larger-scale patterns of heart activity affect the brain’s functioning.

HeartMath Institute research has demonstrated that different patterns of heart activity (which accompany different emotional states) have distinct effects on cognitive and emotional function. During stress and negative emotions, when the heart rhythm pattern is erratic and disordered, the corresponding pattern of neural signals traveling from the heart to the brain inhibits higher cognitive functions. This limits our ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions. (This helps explain why we may often act impulsively and unwisely when we’re under stress.) The heart’s input to the brain during stressful or negative emotions also has a profound effect on the brain’s emotional processes—actually serving to reinforce the emotional experience of stress.

In contrast, the more ordered and stable pattern of the heart’s input to the brain during positive emotional states has the opposite effect – it facilitates cognitive function and reinforces positive feelings and emotional stability. This means that learning to generate increased heart rhythm coherence, by sustaining positive emotions, not only benefits the entire body, but also profoundly affects how we perceive, think, feel, and perform.

Globalism - What are the Pros and Cons?

An Opinion by Mediterranean Man - A Telegram Schizo                            Telegram channel @MediterraneanMan

You're all aware of labels and phrases like Globalism, "the world is a small village.", Interconnected, and some satanic organizations like the World Economic Forum, but a subscriber here asked, what really is globalism about? And is there anything redeemable about it?

Globalism refers to something that is, well, global in nature, don't mistake it with the old colonial times of the 19th and 18th century, the term itself only popped into existence after the second world war, before that, usually it was local authorities who were subservient to a higher one (Emirate to a caliphate, or a colony to the homeland), or national and imperial entities asserting their policies and the will of their kings and queen, but globalism after WW2 refers to the post war world that came to be, it was Communism versus Capitalism on the world stage, and Washington and Moscow wanted to plan out how they will win the cold war, and so they were planning global policies based on this, especially the Americans, who wanted a global world that is centric to their views, I don't know if you know that, but at 1948, the US had 50% of the worlds wealth, while only around 5% of the worlds population, so they obviously wanted to stay at the top, no matter what.

Globalism back then just meant an integrated global economic system, and from money it went from trying to integrate the world's economy into the world's politics, and international institutes, and eventually, perhaps, a world government.

Now, I told you what Globalism is, how it began, and how it evolved, now what is it good for?

Globalism as an ideology and aims is detestable, but it's methods and tools are actually quite good if played by the right nations.

Pros : 1) a single economic union that ensures prosperity and welfare of the state's resources and of it's citizens -> you're looking at unions like BRICS, SCO,  GCC, and Eurasian Economic Union where national authority is respected but trade and policies are simplified.

2) Exchange of cultures, now notice I said exchange, not replace, I admire some aspects of Russian culture from my personal interactions, and likewise, some Russians I personally know are also impressed by the insights and societal values we have, we don't have to agree on everything, just take what's useful and get along.

3) without globalism, I think people will be limited to the view their nation limits, which to me is slightly wrong, a Christian may want to spread his message, and a Muslim will want to do the same, some nations have historically missed extremely important developments in human history because they were too isolated.

4) also without globalism, none of us would be here, the subscribers of this channel are made up of Serbs, Germans, Russians, Arabs, Brazilians, Indonesians, and Americans, all united in a common idea and having friendly interactions.

So, what are the cons?

If not mentioned in the 4 aspects, it's a con, everything else is just a filthy Jewish trick that wants to eradicate culture, religion, and morals and values.\
