Korea needs to move away from its current economic model
and implement a range of reforms to develop a creative economy that can
sustain long-term growth, according to the latest OECD Economic Survey of Korea.
The strategy should be accompanied by new measures to reduce income
inequality and poverty, particularly among the elderly, the OECD said.

Argentina: El futuro de Vaca Muerta

Para algunos analistas, una eventual cesación
de pagos de la Argentina no frenará millonarias inversiones en el
promisorio yacimiento Vaca Muerta, aunque el país tendría que ceder
beneficios más jugosos a las empresas extranjeras por apostar en el país
Fuente: relatosdetierra
El
desarrollo de Vaca Muerta requiere unos u$s 250.000 millones según
estimaciones privadas y una nueva cesación de pagos arruinaría los

puesto en Vaca Muerta.
Trading the yuan
THE ECONOMIST Jun 21st 2014 | HONG KONG | (Click here to original new)
Buzz about the rise of China’s currency has run far ahead of sedate reality
IF HEADLINES translated into trading volumes, the yuan would
be well on its way to dominating the world’s currency markets. It once
again graced front pages this week after moves to lift its status in
London, the world’s biggest foreign-exchange market. This was the latest
instalment of a five-year-long public-relations campaign. Since 2009,
when China first declared its intention to promote the yuan
internationally, a string of announcements and milestones has cast the
Chinese currency as a putative rival to the dollar.
The hype rests on several seemingly impressive numbers. Yuan
deposits beyond China’s borders have increased tenfold in the past five
years. The “dim sum” bond market for yuan-denominated debt issued
outside China has gone from non-existence to a dozen issuances a month.
And the yuan is the second-most-used currency in the world for trade
finance.

U.S. Catfish Program Could Stymie Pacific Trade Agreement
THE NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON
— Ten Asian and Pacific nations have told the Office of the United
States Trade Representative that the Agriculture Department’s catfish
inspection program violates international law, and their objections
could hamper Obama administration efforts to reach a major Pacific trade
agreement by the end of next year.
They
say that the inspection program is a trade barrier erected under the
guise of a food safety measure and that it violates the United States’
obligations under World Trade Organization agreements. Among the
countries protesting are Vietnam and Malaysia, which are taking part in
talks for the trade agreement — known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership —
and have the ability to derail or hold up those negotiations.

Con el consumo interno en niveles que oscilan entre el suelo y la

El recientemente elegido primer ministro indio, Narendra Modi, va poco a poco desvelando sus planes de reforma económica tras la victoria de su partido, el nacionalista Partido del Pueblo
(BJP, en sus siglas en hindi) en las elecciones de abril y mayo. Aunque
las encuestas ya daban por hecha la victoria de la coalición
conservadora encabezada por Modi, la abrumadora mayoría absoluta
conseguida (336 de un total de 545 escaños) ha reforzado en los inversores la expectativa de que los ambiciosos planes de reforma económica del primer ministro saldrán adelante.
El pasado día 9, el presidente indio, Pranab Mukherjee, desgranó ante
el Parlamento las principales líneas de actuación del nuevo Ejecutivo.
"Mi gobierno seguirá una política de incentivar las inversiones,
incluyendo inversiones directas del exterior, que se permitirán en
sectores que ayuden a crear empleo y bienes de equipo", declaró.

Georgia, Moldova sign similar agreements as Russia warns of ‘grave consqeuences
Ukraine signed a historic free-trade and political cooperation agreement with the European Union today that has been at the heart of the country’s political crisis, drawing an immediate threat of “grave consequences” from Russia.
Ex-USSR states Georgia and Moldova
signed similar deals, which fall short of full EU membership but hold
out the prospect of deep economic integration and unfettered access to
the EU’s 500 million citizens. It signals a turning away from Russia and
moving closer to the West.
“Over the last months, Ukraine paid the highest possible price to make her European dreams come true,” Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko told EU leaders at a signing ceremony in Brussels.
