China VP certain long term global recession will happen

BEIJING: A long-term global recession is certain to happen and China must focus on domestic problems, Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Qishan has said.
“The one thing that we can be certain of, among all the uncertainties, is that the global economic recession caused by the international financial crisis will be chronic,” Wang was quoted by the Xinhua news agency as saying over the weekend.
Wang's comments were the most bearish forecast ever by a top Chinese decision-maker about the world economy, and Beijing's worry about a worsening global environment could translate into an impetus for pro-growth policies at home.
China launched a massive fiscal stimulus package with a price tag of four trillion yuan (US$650bil) in late 2008 to avert a big impact from the global financial turmoil.
According to Xinhua, Wang did not speak this time about any major policy change but reiterated that banks should be more flexible lending to the agricultural sector and small firms.
“As for our country, which relies highly on external demands, we must see the situation clearly and get our own business done,” Xinhua quoted Wang as saying, referring to exports.
China's central bank said last week that it was ready to fine-tune monetary policy if needed. Reuters
