THE ECONOMIC CRISES IN SPAIN 2012

RE: The economic crises in Spain 

Suggestion: Good Morning Mrs. Vice President. Of course, this is my first inscription to Spain Government. Financial Times, London articled on April 12, 2012 that “Spain needs pre-emptive action”. It addressed three main problems such as the budget, the banking sector and the labour market. The task is an arduous but it is not impossible because Spain has proven itself competent of economic reform and financial restructuring. If I am not mistaken, the country current account deficit was 10 percent GDP in 2008. The current account deficit descended to 3.7 percent in 2011. Spain has adjusted its current account deficit more than 6 pp of GDP at a spectacular space in three years. The significance of other economic reforms is such as reducing the budget deficit and labour market reforms to increase the country future economic growth

As far as the Spain financial structure reform, it is not adequate to make credit flow again. The Government has to superfluous restructure the financial system so that banks can generate healthy profit and be adequately solid to meet demand. It is my judgment that credit will not enhance until the solvent demand boosts. So it is indispensible to generate solvent credit demand and to ensure that solid banking system can respond to such demand. I think financial restructuring still remains much to do, not only to continue to repair the effects on the banking system of global financial crises but also to give a framework to combat future financial crises.  I think, the biggest problem Spain has its unemployment.  The labour market reform has also introduced in February 2012.  I hope that labour market reform can bring about the lasting, future oriented turnaround for Spain. I must tell you that Spain put huge effort so far but the country is improbable to see the prompt recovery in the Spanish economy. But Ireland was in severe recession in 2009-2010. But Ireland started growing again in 2011 due to more market based economic reform and more business friendly tax structure played a huge role of the Irish economy.

I’m going to conclude with a few words, Spain is in EU membership and as I believe EU membership will assist Spain overcoming the crises. EU membership has assisted during the global financial crises such as the interest rate cuts, the unlimited supply of liquidity, ECB bond purchases and three year refinancing operations are most beneficial for Spain. I hope that Spain will overcome all the problems in the short term with help of EU membership. 

Thank you for attention.

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To:     The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE:      BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE   Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

To:     The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE:      HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047.

EU NEW FISCAL AUTHORITY FOR WEAK MEMBER STATES

This paper focuses on setting up new fiscal authority to manage compatible fiscal decentralisation and budgetary discipline in the EU Member States. The authority need to adopt a tough fiscal consolidation programme. The authority should be responsible for designing fiscal policy for all Member States with stricter rules, conscientious monitoring and enforcement mechanisms for the conduct of fiscal decentralisation and budgetary policy. If Member States does not implement or violate the fiscal authority law that Member State/States to be sued in the European Court of Justice. We cannot grow our economy without proper fiscal cooperation between Member States. So the fiscal authority must coach at least weak Member States how to implement effective fiscal policy so that crony driven economy can be turned into a competitive market based economy. EU established the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) to avoid excessive deficits of the Member States and take precise act
