Geithner’s U.K., Germany Trip Highlights Focus on World Economy
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ne ... 0N_w390Jg&pos=6
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner’s trip to Europe today shows how his focus is shifting to global economic threats as Congress puts the finishing touches on its overhaul of financial regulations and the U.S. winds down bailout programs.
Geithner has two days of meetings in London, Berlin and Frankfurt with leaders including European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet to discuss the nearly $1 trillion rescue package aimed at stopping the Greek debt crisis from spreading. The trips were tacked on to Geithner’s visit to China, which ended yesterday, as the euro fell to the lowest in almost nine years against the yen.
“To the extent that the near-term fires in the U.S. have been put under control and progress has been made on reg reform, he can now spend the time, as he should, engaging globally with other global leaders to make sure we’re acting in a coordinated manner,” Neel Kashkari, who headed the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program under Geithner’s predecessor, Henry Paulson, said in an interview. Kashkari now heads new investment initiatives at Pacific Investment Management Co., which runs the world’s biggest bond fund. |
