THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK INTEREST RATE HIKE


SUGGESTION TO THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK PRESIDENT MR. TRICHET


To:                        The Honorable European Central Bank President

From:                     Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE:                        Interest Rate Hike

Suggestions:

Good Morning President. Financial Times, London reported that ECB like to hike the interest rate. The EU’s EMU has a number of big problems. The disparity of practice amongst mortgage lenders leading to radical differences in the effects of the ECB’s rate decision in different countries shows how premature EMU. Mr. President, without true economic union, monetary union causes further inequalities as monetary policy set for the rich countries like Germany and France harming the interest of poor countries like PIGS.

Mr. President, the effect of very high oil prices is not easily countered in the short term. In my opinion, increasing interest rates simply adds fuel to the fire. By increasing the interest rate, ECB has not only made life more difficult for the problem of PIGS economies. In addition to that it made more difficult for businesses of the central and dominant economies.

The world second largest economy’s Japan also in trouble. I think that this is not the right time to hike the interest rate.

Thank you very much for your kind attention to this issue Mr. President.

Sincerely,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

To put things into perspective, Nagorno-Karabakh is not an independent entity but an occupied territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and is recognised by the international community and the UN. The fact that the Armenian Prime Minister's son is doing his military service in the Armenian army located in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh and started an undeclared war against Azerbaijan, occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, and massacred and forcefully deported Azerbaijani aborigines was the main reason for the lack of peace in the region. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...

I am writing to express that Federal constitutional court explicitly rules out Eurobonds a few weeks ago.

German brothers and sisters in the Euroland must help in this difficult moment with iss...

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA To: The Right Honorable Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: 30.09.2011 RE: Japan Energy Policy Suggestion: Changing Industrial Policy Good Morning Prime Minister. BBC World broadcasted your speech regarding alternate energy sources. I agree with your approach to reduce nuclear power in the medium term because having the nuclear reactors in an earthquake prone zone is not safe for the environment or the communities that live near them. Japan is struck in a difficult situation concerning energy. If you want to eventually move away from the nuclear energy, you’ll have to invest more alternative energy sources. If you can’t invest, then it may have to say with a nuclear power for a while. You need make the right decision because source of energy is dwindling. You have one more option which is Japanese people depend on nuclear power with only 1% but 9% including hydroe...
