[CTRL] Bush's Comments Shake Japan's Economy
-Caveat Lector- You know, if somebody should know of such sayings beforehand, they could make a LOT of money.. BBC, Monday, 18 February, 2002, 07:33 GMT Bush gaffe hits yen A remark by US President George W Bush about devaluation in Japan has caused confusion in the currency markets. The yen fell as some traders interpreted the comment as meaning the US favoured a devaluation of the Japanese currency. Bush aides hastened to clear up the confusion, saying the president - in Japan as part of an Asian tour - had misspoken. They said his comment had meant to be about Japan's problem of deflation - steadily falling prices, which depress spending and investment - not devaluation. 'Upfront' The need for economic reforms and the weakness of the Japanese yen dominated talks with Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in Tokyo. Speaking at a joint news conference, Mr Bush said the Japanese prime minister had been upfront about his country's economic problems. Mr Koizumi had given equal emphasis to the need for Japan to clean up its billions of dollars in non-performing loans... and make regulatory reforms, Mr Bush said. Mr Bush's addition of a third item to this list - the need for devaluation of the yen - immediately triggered a drop in the Japanese currency. full article is at http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1825000/1825593.stm A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Bush's Comments Shake Japan's Economy
-Caveat Lector- Well many are called, but few are chosen Bush heard his calling and ran for President...but then he never really asked President of What, and assumed it was President of the United States. Japans problems are due to our trade with China - no more much of Made in Japan, for China now corners the market on Made in Japan for now made in China. Eisenhower was so misinformed when asked about closed shop which is Union lingo, he did not know what it meant. Which is okay, after all he was the guy who put his name to the Crest Toothpaste Fluoride Toothpaste, for the kiddies left over from Manhattan project was it? Japan is on its own now..for they have bigger fish to fry. Did Bush know what he said? No - he is a parrot in such matters, for Japan is no threat to the USA.but then there was that awful movie Pearl Harbor, then the Twin Towers, and then War in Jurassic Park. So such is the way of the world, as the stomach churns. On with the show - but hey, don't expect many curtain calls on that one.
