We are increasingly hearing that Europe must choose between tightening government finances and creating growth. Naturally, growth sounds friendlier than austerity. Not so long ago, the financial markets wanted budget consolidation. Without a fiscal pact with budget discipline, the European Central Bank (ECB) was unable to lend to banks to prevent credit tightening and to stabilise the situation. Now, when the financial markets are calmer - and recession is a fact - growth is wanted instead.

The recovery in the global economy has lost momentum during the spring, particularly in EMU-area but also in the emerging markets. Uncertainties about the strength in the global economy has also affected the commodity market, where we have seen a broad price decrease in April, from crude oil, metals to soft commodities like food. The Swedbank total commodity price index fell by 3,3% in April compared with the previous month. The largest price decreases was for metals and crude oil, which however could be a positive impact on the global economy.

The development on many stock exchanges, including the Swedish one, was negative in April. Oil prices fell slightly, but remain at a high level. The weak Purchasing Managers' Index has led to fears that the German recovery is too slow. In addition, there is uncertainty following the elections in France and Greece, and concern surrounding Spanish growth and the budget deficit.

Following the sharp slowdown in the Swedish economy towards the end of last year, it is now possible to discern some positive signs. At the same time, inflation is low and expected to remain so over the coming year. Monetary policy needs to remain expansionary to support the recovery. The Executive Board of the Riksbank has therefore decided to hold the repo rate unchanged at 1.50 per cent. The repo-rate path is also unchanged.

The paradox is obvious clear. During an election year, interest in the economic policy conference organised by the National Association of Business Economics (NABE) is significant - this year saw record attendance with over 600 participants - at the same time as the invited speakers were tongue-tied and clearly had difficulties in focusing on the policy issues that really concern Americans.

While the west is licking its wounds after the financial crisis, recession and the ongoing deleveraging , the BRIC countries ought to be able to enjoy a more comfortable time. While India's public debt is relatively high and China’s debt is possibly far higher than the official statistics say, there is not the same urgency for crisis management as in the Euro zone. However, the question is whether the BRIC countries are under performing in various ways in terms of economic policy given the circumstances.

An appetite for risk has returned in recent times, stock exchanges and commodities prices have climbed, while at the same time, the situation on the credit market has improved somewhat in Europe. The central bank printing presses are running hot, and since the European Central Bank, the ECB, has also chosen to give its balance sheet a big boost, financial institutions have begun to breathe a bit more easily.

Standard and Poor’s downgrading of the credit rating of nine Euro zone countries did not come as a surprise. For France and Austria, having the highest credit rating is no longer something they can boast about. The question is more about the consequences this downgrading will result in and if it really is as unfair as the Euro politicians claim.

Economic policy is often divided into fiscal policy, monetary policy and structural policy. Fiscal policy is primarily about reducing and increasing taxes and expenditure, while monetary policy in recent times has focused on using the key rate to meet more or less clear inflation targets.

2011 is drawing to a close. The year opened with continued recovery all round the world, but has since been marked by ever graver debt crises, falling stock markets, rising risk premiums and growing economic gloom. Gazing into the crystal ball for 2012 is a challenge. There is a risk that the economic year will not be as good as the headlines suggest.

The deal last week between EMU/EU countries, excluding the United Kingdom and some other EU countries, has its centre of gravity in the case for strengthening budget discipline and reducing public debt. It is a "makeover" of the Stability and Growth Pact, but hardly an "extreme makeover" and fiscal union is still a long way away.

We are in the euro crisis’ so-called week of destiny. Italy has put forward a savings package that also puts emphasis on reforms that enhance growth. Greece's parliament has approved the austerity budget for 2012. Tomorrow, decisions on a possible interest rate cut in the ECB will be taken, but the spotlights are mainly on the euro countries' handling of the crisis at the EU meeting held on Friday, November 9, which of many journalists, analysts and even the euro politicians have been characterized as the last chance to save the euro.

Statements about the meeting have subsequently been anything but gracious. Financial Times columnist Wolfgang Münchau wrote that the meeting was comically irrelevant for the global economy's future. How bad was it?
