Forcimi i pritshem i Dollarit kundra Euros
Me poshte jane fragmente nga nje artikull nga Wall Street Journal ku diskutohet preferenca e ministrit te ri te ekonomise te Sh.B.A. per nje dollar te "Forte". Renia e dollarit ishte e perkohshme dhe duhet te "ri-korrigjohet" pasi te fashiten shqetsimet e luftes se pritshme me Irakun. Ditet e nje Euro te "forte" jane te numeruara nqs investoret bazohen ne te dhenat ekonomike, dhe ne faktin e thjeshte qe investimet amerikane ofrojne nje shkembim me te mire midis fitimit dhe sigurise sesa vendet e tjera te botes. Edhe ECB-ja dhe prodhuesit europiane nuk mund te pranojne nje Euro te forte per sasi te zgjatura kohore pasi ekonomite e tyre bazohen shume me teper ne eksporte.

P.S. Me vjen keq qe artikulli eshte anglisht, nqs dikush ka probleme besoj qe mund te kete kohe dikush ta perktheje.
John Snow (Ministri i Ekonomise/Secretary of the Treasury)
Snow Endorses Strong Dollar, Disappointing Manufacturers
Treasury Nominee Also Backs Tax-Cut Plan; Senate Confirmation Is Expected Thursday
By GREG IP
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
WASHINGTON -- Treasury Secretary nominee John Snow endorsed a strong dollar, attempting to dispel questions that have dogged the U.S. currency since the previous secretary, Paul O'Neill, was fired last month.
"A strong dollar is in the national interest," Mr. Snow said, disappointing U.S. manufacturers, which have long petitioned the White House to abandon its strong-dollar rhetoric. "Sound, pro-growth economic policies and a commitment to free and open markets are the foundation for a strong dollar."
Mr. Snow's statement on the dollar marks a return to the unequivocal support it received from Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. Under Mr. O'Neill, that support had weakened slightly. He, and other administration figures, would say markets set the value of the dollar but that a strong dollar was a sign of good economic policies. Even that policy has come under attack from manufacturers that say the dollar's strength has made it harder to compete against imports and in foreign markets.
"His pro-strong dollar comments were a little more explicit than expected," said Ashraf Laidi, chief currency analyst at MG Financial Group, a New York currency-trading firm. He said Mr. Snow praised a strong dollar for its own sake, whereas the Bush administration had said it was the byproduct of good economic policies. But he said it isn't clear if Mr. Snow would act if the dollar, which has fallen about 18% in trade-weighted terms during the past year, falls further.
Manufacturers had asked Senate Finance Committee members to press Mr. Snow into criticizing Asian countries such as China and Japan that actively intervene to keep their currencies weak. "We had hoped that the Bush administration would have chosen this moment to reconfirm its commitment that market forces should determine the dollar's value," said Frank Vargo, vice president of the National Association of Manufacturers. "We were surprised [Mr. Snow] did not."
The stronger rhetoric may help reassure investors, who are needed to finance the giant U.S. deficit in goods-and-services trade and investment income with the world, known as the current-account deficit. The dollar rose modestly against the euro, remaining at 92 cents. Mr. Snow played down the importance of the current-account deficit, which is estimated to have hit a record last year. "It reflects the confidence of the world in the U.S. economy and their willingness to hold dollar-based assets," he said.
The committee expects to vote to confirm Mr. Snow as early as Wednesday, followed by the full Senate Thursday.
