the violin store and country it once again sparked concern the so-called battle for democracy was a war for black gold all along. those were the top stories next r.t. looks at what impact the financial difficulties of you are of an america will have on the developing economies that's now interview that's coming up next. the aston p. downgrade of the united states economy has raised many questions about whether or not america will continue to be the powerhouse in the global economy and now the international monetary fund predicts that china will actually outpace the united states economy by two thousand and sixteen so how is all of this going to affect the traditional players and what is the impact going to be on the so-called developing world well joining me to help get some answers on all of this is oxford educated economist and the youngest to me an advert to had a world bank department he's now the chairman of india's planning commission mr
2:32 am
monti saying ahluwalia i want to thank you so much for joining me so first of all i want to ask you is the second wave of the global financial crisis upon us i think what will happen is markets would be disrupted slightly moderate growth prospects for the carbon in the u.s. and maybe in europe but i don't see this as going back to two thousand and eight and so where do we go from here who's going to fix what's going on in the world right now the world needs to. get together to work out what's the transition what's a reasonable transition in a world in which there would be more than one currency and where the traditional reserve currency. of the moment is in the country which doesn't have a very well balanced mark rubio makes attrition and is there a sense in india do you think that perhaps there could be
2:33 am
a shift in the world order and. india could be somehow gaining from what's going on in washington there is certainly a shift going on in the world there's no doubt about that i mean any medium term or long term project from suggests that. the pound will go relatively slowly europe may grow a little bit faster than. the us has traditionally been viewed as a very dynamic economy is likely to grow faster than europe but the growth rate in these economies will be much less than the growth rate in the emerging market countries i mean china india brazil so i think over time there is a shift in economic power taking place one is to asia and another way of looking at it is really the rising rate of emerging market countries but i think you're thinking of a world in which there would be a large number of relatively equal economic groupings and you want to global system
2:34 am
that can accommodate that it it can't be a global system which is run only by saying well look this is the center of power and everybody else must adjust and it's been said that europe has dominated the air national monetary fund in your opinion is that part of the problem or the solution i do think that the dominance of the industrialized countries of these two institutions has to change remember that as long as europe and the united states are together they account for almost half the votes in the army or from the world bank so even if you made a voting system they would be able to get their candidates in providing they collaborate with each other but you don't want to system where it's assumed that one organization will be run by one country and the other will always have european and how do you think all of that has affected the euro zone and personally i think
2:35 am
the world is going through some very important structural changes and if europe is showing signs of strain i think it's appropriate that the fund should do what is necessary but it's also appropriate that europe should bear a very large part of the burden. the cost and that's what's happening because the i.m.f. is working collaboratively with the european central bank on the whole i think stability is very important for all of us and so far what they've done i think is the right thing but looking ahead as new sets of problems arise i mean there's always an issue that the fund must be not dominated by the concerns of any one part of the world it should be should be seen to be reflecting global interests and do you personally think that the euro is going to survive the creation of a single currency for europe was a pretty major and a bold and ambitious step i think is generally recognize that if you want to have
2:36 am
a single currency it needs to be backed by a single fiscal authority now since euro zone is different countries they obviously don't have a single fiscal policy but to back a single currency they must have a very shared understanding of who's going to pay the bills if a problem arises that will become a substitute for the single i don't think that's been sufficiently clear i think in the first flush of you know a good feeling about the euro there was an assumption that a lot of benefits that come to european countries from having the same currency but not enough appreciation that there are costs and i think that's now evident so it's a challenge for europe how they're going to handle this trade in future i do feel that they need to be if you like bailed out right now because i don't think it's in anybody's interest to see a major financial collapse but moving ahead how do you stop the same four problem
2:37 am
arising ten years from now it is very important for europe to have very clear rules of behavior how are they going to deal with fiscal crises. i mean what's going to be the role of the european central bank in bailing out governments as. the role of the i.m.f. so i think these are issues that the global community will have to look at and i want to ask you about china obviously china is the number one u.s. to get holder i believe they have around three trillion dollars that you asked that in your opinion did they make the right decision and doing that it is true that the chinese have a very large holding to some extent if the chinese wanted to retain. parity with the dollar which was part of their strategy they would end up holding dollar debt because if they didn't hold dollar debt then essentially the dollar would depreciate. the renminbi would have appreciated so to some extent the chinese
2:38 am
holding dollar debt is the other side of a quarter of running surpluses but not actually appreciating against the car and see that you're running a surplus which now you know that that period gave the word a lot of stability a lot of growth the chinese benefited i guess whether they made the right choice or not depends on whether we now addressed in a soft landing mefford rather than in the highly disruptive and it's in everybody's interests including the chinese of course the adjustment should be a soft landing do you think that dollars and i survive as a global reserve currency as a major currency absolutely i mean look the united states is going to remain. the dominant country globally it won't be as overwhelmingly dominant as it used to be but it's certainly remain the largest economy certainly for another ten years the fact that the us has three movements in and out of capital will still make it the
2:39 am
trendsetter rather than the trying these economies the real issue is in future would people be willing to hold all their reserves of dollars now as a general rule if you've got four major currencies it doesn't actually make said story of one. i think the in the past there's always been the assumption that other countries may address but that the u.s. currency become the sort of. stability that i don't think can remain true once you get a lot of other countries which have moralist similar size as the u.s. and in your ideal world who should referee the club or a commie i think there is a lot of consensus around the world that the fund is the international institution that should be looking at these things and if there are governance problems or inadequacies. known representation in adequate amount of the newly
2:40 am
emerging countries than those should be corrected and we should actually use this as the for and obviously you know there is reshaping of the world economy actually if that's happening that's probably going to also cause fundamental political shift as well what do you expect to be from our point of view the rise of a number of emerging market countries will create a much more balanced sense of the world economy amongst countries that were earlier seen to be dominant it might create a greater awareness that you know they can't unilaterally decide the future of the world and certainly countries that earlier felt that they were not part of the political decision making now feeling part of the political decision making i mean the third democratize asian of the globe which should have positive effects because it will make these countries behave in a more responsible manner and there's been a lot of talk about rating agencies being on accountable despite their political
2:41 am
influence when you make these agencies more accountable if you could one of the fundamental areas of conflict are the rating agencies rate companies that pay them to rate them so you can generally assume that a company that pays a. rating agency to rate it is hoping to get a good rating so there's a there's an element of conflict of interest if you're getting your money. from the people to whom you're giving a rating. i don't find an easy way of solving this problem but i think transparency transparency in how the ratings are down and the track record is the only way that you're going to be able to solve the problem and the last question i want to ask is you know a lot of people are saying that investors are going to perhaps invest more in these emerging market if they start to look away from u.s. treasury bonds i mean what's the planning commission it's short term predictions
2:42 am
for india in relation to everything that's going on right now the big message coming out of how the global economy is moving is that the industrialized countries are going to grow more grew more slowly whereas the emerging market countries are going to grow faster india's been growing for the last five years that about eight point two percent anybody who's investing and looking around the world if they find one market is growing a little somewhere between eight and a half or nine percent another market is going to grow two and a half percent i mean they would be very well advised to invest in the markets that are growing so we expect on a medium term basis that there will be it already is and will remain preferred destination for foreign investment people look at the global portfolio traditionally they've invested too much money in the industrialized world not having anticipated what the consequences of globalization are going to be so over
2:43 am
time i think they should be rebalancing a little more towards the emerging markets and within that i think india would be a very good bet. well it will certainly be interesting to see how india is affected by all of this i want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me thank you. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these marmes that's not inside that song so it should not be punished for his crimes song is being no rational person can deny that song has been honest is being honest and will be honest. the sellers must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is a punishment this is not. to mention.
