The Third Fiscal Apocalypse Might Be Upon Us

Investors are spooked by China's extreme downturn in the market. The International Monetary Fund had announced a great series of prophecies regarding another possible downturn for the global economy that could drag us down back into the Third Great Recession.

According to Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane, market troubles and Chinese economic concerns are just the next chapters in an on-going story regarding the Third Fiscal Apocalypse.

The Slowest Growth Since 2008


The IMF said global growth is at its slowest in 2015 with a possibility of 3 per cent growth reduction, which would be painful for many emerging markets with corporate outfits.



The US' increased interest rates, one of the many catalysts of the possible depression according to analysts, has "sucked out emerging economies" that returned money into the higher-ups of society. This has devalued the emerging market currencies.

However, because of huge foreign reserves initiated by the increased interest rates, the downturn's impact was diverted, said other analysts with a more positive approach.

The New Reality


Itau Chief Economist Ilan Goldfein from Brazil said to raise Brazil's financial status, which was pushed down the junk by Moody's, would mean to work with the budget deficit and "new realities".


He said Brazil would need to adapt to the new terms of trade that offers different commodities. The economic head is pertaining to the falling oil prices.

South America is hit by widespread devaluation after every nation's primary resource had a value downturn earlier this year.


Experts advise that emerging markets needed adaptability and government market stimulation to uphold and cushion the impact of impending trouble.
