Turkey's economy is growing fast Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:42:31 In Reply to: Government of Turkey interested in buying Saab, Dcay, Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:45:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
An article in the Financial Times within the past 3 or 4 days identified Turkey as having a borderline inflation problem due to rapid growth of its economy. Meanwhile most of the rest of the world is battling recession and/or stagnation. Even China and Brazil are showing rapid signs of an economic cool down.
I don't know how I feel about possible State onwership of Saab, even the China deals at least had the masquerade of private ownership. This left open the possibility the government may not take too active of a role.
Yeah yeah I know. The US Treasury still has a 30% to 35% ownership position in GM. I am more than mildly surprised the Swedish and Chinese governments didn't openly utilize diplomatic channels to try to force GM's cooperation. Maybe they did so behind the scenes.
