Global Demand after the Crisis
WHAT IS CHIMERICA? FOUR UNCERTAINTIES
WHAT MIGHT GLOBAL DEMAND LOOK LIKE AFTER THE CRISIS?
FIVE STRATEGIES
THREE POSTCRISIS MODELS
Chimerica : no independent ‘rise of the rest’. Accounts for over 60% of the world’s cumulative growth for the past 5 years. Emerging periphery relied on final demand in the G3.
CORE
Accumulated earnings were recycled back to the core.
Financial innovation channeled the credit supply to residential investment, fueling a housing asset boom which boosted consumption.
PERIPHERY
Export-led growth allowed for rapid industrialization and urbanization in emerging Asia, prompting large spikes in commodity prices.
WHAT IS CHIMERICA? FOUR UNCERTAINTIES
WHAT MIGHT GLOBAL DEMAND LOOK LIKE AFTER THE CRISIS?
FIVE STRATEGIES
THREE POSTCRISIS MODELS
The current crisis: Chimerica has temporarily collapsed. There are four major uncertainties leading from the crisis. Each uncertainty may have legacy effects that can move the world permanently away from Chimerica.
Changes in composition of final consumption behavior
Legacy effect one: rising public debt Sustained financing of this debt may break down.
Raises probability of country default.
Move from LT to ST debt.
Legacy effect two: increased government intervention Intervention may stifle innovation and future growth. The greater regulatory oversight and tighter lending standards may stunt future growth in startups and cause technological innovation to slow. In the long run, this may induce a severe rollback in private consumption demand as long-run growth slows with declining innovation.
Legacy effect three: persistent protectionism “Buy America” and beggar thy neighbor exchange rate policies may spark a trade war. The enactment of the Smoot Hawley Act in the 1930s sparked a rapid downward spiral in global trade. Competitive devaluation and non-tariff barriers may trigger retaliatory action.
Legacy effect four: G3 consumption changes G3 consumers are saving more in response to a downturn. US consumers accounts for 70% of US GDP. Failure of the US stimulus package could lead to sustained negative growth and bleak longterm employment prospects in the US. This may, in turn, entrench savings habits.

WB 15 SEPT. 2008 at THE G3
No fundamental shift from Chimerica occurs. Developed countries continue to power growth. Emerging Asia continues to fund G3.

transitory model.
The world is plagued by more volatility as imbalances are exacerbated.
Wounded Each subsequent crisis Beast weakens this model. High cost, High growth, High volatility.
Key message: Resilience
CROSSING THE CHASM The world sees a sustained shortfall in G3 demand. Rising Asia looks inward towards domestic demand, but this may not be fast enough to restore world growth to previous levels. The period of adjustment could be painful and might take decades. How can we grow in this model? High cost, low growth, low volatility.
Key message: Survival
Chasm: consumption in emerging Asia How fast can Asian consumers become a source of final demand?
The middle class is projected to surge – particularly in developing countries and Asia.
But it may take decades for consumption in emerging Asia to drive global demand.
37 Years 2.1% Consumption* in 2007
If… • World GDP grows at 4%, • China’s GDP grows at 9%, • China’s consumption share of its GDP grows at 1% *as a percentage of world GDP
China and India could be beset with political and social unrest. 17.5% Consumption in 2007
