Kevin Rudd says Australian recession inevitable

今日(4月20日)陆凯文在阿德莱德的经济论坛上称:
- 75年来最严重的全球经济危机将澳洲拉向经济衰退
- 澳洲10个主要贸易伙伴中的7个已经进入经济衰退期
- 政府面临的挑战是通过经济刺激政策及其他举措,来减少经济危机对商家和工作岗位的影响
- 全球经济危机已经严重到将使澳洲面临更长久的经济负增长
这是陆凯文首次承认澳洲经济难免将进入衰退。
理论上讲,经济衰退是指连续两个季度的经济负增长。
你认为澳洲将进入经济衰退??? 如果是,你准备好应付这场危机了吗?
原文:
AUSTRALIA will inevitably slip into recession, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says.
"The worst global economic recession in 75 years means it's inevitable that Australia will be dragged into recession," Mr Rudd told an economic forum in Adelaide today.
"The challenge for government is to cushion the impact of recession on business and jobs, through the actions we take, through economic stimulus strategy."
It is the first time the Prime Minister has admitted Australia will fall into recession.
Mr Rudd said seven of Australia's 10 largest trading partners were in recession.
"The severity of the global recession has made it impossible for Australia to avoid a further period of negative economic growth," he said.
The Government's admission comes despite its huge spending through stimulus packages, the second of which includes a one-off tax bonus which many households have yet to receive.
Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull told ABC Radio: "Already he (Mr Rudd) seems to be conceding this stimulus strategy of his, his big spending, big debt strategy has failed."
But he said Mr Rudd had uttered the "R" word merely to create a distraction.
"It is a classic Rudd tactic. He isn't able to provide Australians the facts about the tragic events involving the unauthorised boat that blew up recently."
A recession is technically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Total gross domestic product declined 0.5 per cent in the December quarter, compared with growth of 0.1 per cent in the September quarter.
It was the first time the economy had contracted in a quarter in eight years.
