The financial crisis in the form of sub-prime crisis which started in United states has now engulfed the whole world. Countries like China and India who command natural development growth is also started getting affected due to loss in export orders and service export orders.

United states has been creating world demand as it has been spending more than what it has been producing. Over the last two centuries there has been growth in demand and the supply has been from the developing countries.

Now the question is as there is a collapse of the wall street and subsequent effect in the many sectors of the economy like automobile, housing in terms of unemployment, excess production  etc what are the steps that is being done by the US government to take the economy back to growth?

The new government of United States under the leadership of Obama is going to come into effect from 20th January and there are number of issues to be handled from economics to international problems.

If the United States gives more bailout packages, then, which sectors are going to get the maximum benefit and how is it going to affect the unemployment and real economic output growth with in USA? Is there any change in the outsourcing policy ? Is there going to be more protectionist tendencies in United States?

Asif Ali Zardari’s election to the coveted post of President of Pakistan was a foregone conclusion. He brings along with him a series of responsibilities in the domestic as well on the international front. As the civil society in Pakistan has acquired a bargaining power higher than what it had in history, one can conclude the tumultuous time for Pakistan is not yet over.

Pervez Musharraf was far-sighted to sense this, as he stepped down as President within 10 days after the political parties started preparations for his impeachment. Zardari, accussed by Nawaz Sharif led PML(N) on going back to his written agreement on reinstating the Supreme Court judges, is not the unanimous choice of all citizens of Pakistan. That his party enjoys majority in two houses of Pakistan parliament, the National Assembly and the Senate, as well as in a few other Provincial Assemblies in Pakistan is the sole reason for his victory.

Whether he would go to an extent of dismissing the Judges already appointed by the parliament and reinstate the ousted Chief Justice, Mr. Choudhary, is something we all should wait and see. It’s also doubtful whether the accusations that he has so far amassed huge amount of wealth (almost $62 million) will ever be taken again for public debate, even by Courts or by parliament. But one thing is crucial: the issue of joining the war against terror with the US is going to decide his foreign policy (US launched a drone attack in North and South Waziristan yesterday for the fourth time in the last few months). On the domestic front, his ability to gel with the political parties and the civil society decides the future of his Presidentship.
