A U.S. Senate committee produced an investigative report, assembling thousands of e-mails and other correspondence, into events and practices on Wall Street leading up to the banking collapse of 2008. It reserved some of its heaviest criticism for Goldman Sachs. The committee had bipartisan support, unlike the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which reported in January.

» The IMF released its twice-yearly projection of world economic growth, forecasting that global GDP will increase by 4.4% this year. The fund said that concerns were fading over a "double-dip" recession, though the recovery could be threatened by higher commodity prices, especially oil. Regarding Japan, the IMF recognised that the "immediate fiscal priority is to support reconstruction" after last month's earthquake, but urged the country to link such spending to a clear strategy for reducing public debt.

Vietnam Stability Hinges on Slower Credit Growth, S&P Says

Bloombergnews 14 April 2011



Vietnam’s economic stability depends on the government keeping its pledge to slow credit growth, and it’s too soon to conclude the situation is improving, Standard & Poor’s said. “The government’s policy measures include tighter fiscal and monetary policies,” Kim Eng Tan, a Singapore-based analyst at Standard & Poor’s, wrote in a report dated April 11. “The risk that the government may not follow through on these measures is significant.”



Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has cut the target for credit growth this year to less than 20 percent from 23 percent and ordered a tighter monetary policy as costlier fuel and electricity and a weaker currency stoke inflation. The central bank raised its refinancing and repurchase rates on April 1 and plans to boost reserve ratios for dollar deposits in May. “It’s too early to conclude that the economic situation is stabilizing or even improving,” wrote Tan. “The outcome depends on policymakers’ ability to deliver on their promises.”

Vietnam’s inflation rate accelerated to 13.89 percent in March, the highest in 25 months, while the trade gap widened to $1.15 billion that month from a revised $1.11 billion in February, according to preliminary figures. The nation’s financial stability has been damaged by the fastest consumer-price growth in the region and persistent trade deficits, wrote Tan.
