First, the devaluation of the Euro triggered by the debt crisis will make American exports more expensive. ü Euro has depreciated against US dollar by nearly 15% ü Government spending and exports have been the only two growth engines of the American economy. ü With tepid consumer demand and very weak labor market, consumer spending recovery is less likely to be quick and robust. ü One way to spur corporate spending is to sell overseas. ¨ www.hymarkets.com Impact Of European Debt Crisis on U.S. And Emerging Markets Economy 2.The second big worry remains with the banking sector ü The financial markets across the Atlantic are highly integrated with each other and hence affect each other ¨ www.hymarkets.com Impact Of European Debt Crisis On U.S. And Emerging Markets Economy ü The worst case scenario would be if Greece, Spain or other eurozone countries defaulted on their debt. ü Banks, the primary holders of sovereign debt, would face huge losses with smaller banks collapsing. ü In a panic, they'd cut back on lending to each other, and the LIBOR rate would skyrocket like it did in 2008. ü The European Central Bank (ECB) holds a lot of sovereign debt, so its future would be at risk. ü The rippling effect of uncontrolled sovereign debt defaults could create a recession, if not a global depression. ¨ www.hymarkets.com Impact Of European Debt Crisis on U.S. And Emerging Markets Economy ü It would also be worse than the 1998 sovereign debt crisis. When Russia defaulted, other emerging market countries did too. ü This time, it's not the only emerging markets, but the developed markets that are in danger of default also. ü If sovereign debt defaults were left unchecked, the resulting panic could cause a shutdown of credit, in which even the United States might have trouble funding its debt. ¨ www.hymarkets.com What's the Proposed Solutions? ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ 1.
