2:06 am
speeches and that is something that's also very closely watched and. traditionally we see u.s. delegations walking out when he makes a speech and so on so definitely he's the man stealing the show for now this time around wanted to give journalist to tom people that so far the french president the most inspiring words is that the u.n. summit. for global tax on institutions from the money needed food that promises. what we're talking about is the millennium goals eight areas where world poverty education child mortality maternal health of the things and the hope is that you can reduce the extreme poverty people living on less than a dollar a quarter a day from about one and a half billion to only nine hundred twenty million in five years but everybody i think now agrees that that's being honest that this goal is getting farther away not getting closer now the one speech today that i think stood out with something

2:23 am
a demand for credit at the same time the banking system is jammed was poor quality assets will see that there are some risks in the individual banks that have not fully cleared up their balance from restructured loans the long term fear is hyperinflation if central bank don't act fast enough to withdraw the excessive liquidity because human prices start to rocket economists are confident the central bank of russia won't take risks with inflation and central banks always have to be vigilant about buying turning the right balance a liquidity in the economy and we have seen quite strong growth in the money supply in the last few months but i think that really reflects a return to north. well ization off to the shop for during the recession the young raising interest rates the government could introduce measures similar to the car voucher scheme which cost people to spend thus removing money out of the economy but there are limits to what one country can do if inflation becomes
