by  Writers Yang Jian and Wang ZongkaiWASHINGTON, April 20 () -- The world economic recovery is at a critical crossroad as global fiscal and financial risks still remain elevated despite recent moderate improvements, which is a fresh and common message from the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its sister agency World Bank, kicking off Friday with full swing in Washington D.C.To push the recovery to a healthier and faster direction from the current crossroad, world finance chiefs and experts hold that advanced and emerging economies all have to boost firepower against those risks and fix their own problems. Meanwhile, IMF and other international organizations also have to play a more vital role in helping achieve this goal.MODERATE IMPROVEMENTSThe prospects for global economy are gradually strengthening again after suffering a major setback during 2011, the IMF said in its latest World Economic Outlook (WEO) report released days prior to the Spring Meeting, adding that "some optimism" had come back.The report projected that the world output would grow by 3.5 percent this year, 0.2 percentage point higher than the previous estimate in January. Advanced countries were expected to gain 1.4 percent, while emerging and developing economies would expand much higher at 5.7 percent.Except a slightly better economic outlook, recent important policy steps had also brought some much-needed relief to euro area banking and government bond markets, which experienced a peak of risks in late 2011, the IMF said in its latest Global Financial Stability report.In Euro zone, the sovereign spread is declining and bank funding markets is being reopened partly, while equity prices are recovering.With respect to the world's largest economy, the U.S. output has gained some traction, with growth improving through 2011 and signs of expansion in the job market, the IMF added.As some optimism has returned in recent months, the global economic recovery is facing a critical moment due to everlasting structural challenges both in advanced and emerging economies, World Bank Chief Economist Justin Yifu Lin told .DOWNSIDE RISKS LINGERDespite those ameliorations on economic activity and financial markets, participants of the Spring Meetings, from officials to experts, all cautioned that mixed downside risks would still linger for a long time, affecting both advanced and emerging economies.On one hand, European banks are still under heavy pressures from sovereign risks, weak economic growth, high rollover requirements, and the need to strengthen capital cushions to regain investor trust.The combined pressures have induced a broader drive for those EU-based banks to shrink their balance sheet by as much as 2.6 trillion U.S. dollars by the end of 2013, nearly 7 percent of total assets, which might cause "serious damage" to asset prices, credit supply and economic activity in Europe and beyond, asserted the IMF.Though relief actions eased euro area bank funding strains and helped stabilize sovereign markets, the risks to global financial stability remain elevated, noted IMF Monetary and Capital Markets Department Director Jose Vinals at a press conference."We have been reminded in recent weeks that sentiment can quickly shift and rekindle sovereign financing stress, leaving many sovereigns and banking systems caught in a vicious circle," he added."What would most hurt the world economy is further deterioration of the situation in the Eurozone," said Barry Bosworth, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.On the other hand, global fiscal adjustment, especially in advanced economies, faces new challenge of how to balance fiscal difficulty and economic growth, as continued fiscal adjustment based on such a fragile growth might worsen economic conditions. But if stopping adjustment, another fiscal crisis would be planted."Global policymakers face the dilemma of how best to respond to the challenges of slackening global activity and continued financial volatility without losing sight of their medium-term adjustment needs," noted the IMF Fiscal Monitor report.The IMF estimated that advanced economies' debt ratio of GDP would rise by a further 5 percent points to 109 percent by 2013 even with continued adjustment.The United States and Japan have yet to forge a political consensus for medium-term deficit reduction, perpetuating latent risks to global stability, the Fiscal Monitor report added.Meanwhile, emerging and developing economies might also continue to be exposed to harmful spillovers of the European debt and banking crisis, dragging down their export sector constantly. The output in emerging and developing economies is expected to expand by 5.7 percent, lower than last year's 6.2 percent.For many emerging and developing countries, the immediate challenges come mainly from outside, such as lower exports to advanced countries, volatility of commodity prices and high volatility of capital flows, Olivier Blanchard, IMF chief economist noted.Dark clouds are on the horizon as high unemployment, low growth rate, bank deleveraging, a reignited crisis in Europe, as well as oil price hikes would all pose threat to the shaky world economy, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde cautioned at a press briefing for the Spring Meetings.FIREPOWER NEEDED TO BE BOOSTEDAgainst this chaotic and complicated backdrop, swift and forceful actions from the west to east are needed to ease risks and tackle challenges, experts stressed.For Europe, confronted with most risks, there are three major tasks to be concluded imminently, including steady fiscal adjustment, enough bank funding and stronger economic growth.Not only advanced economies but also emerging countries all have to continue fiscal adjustment overtime, IMF Fiscal Department Director Carlo Cottarelli asserted, adding countries with fiscal space should calibrate near-term fiscal adjustment plans to avoid undue pressures on economic activity and employment.Vinals noted that the euro zone firewall should also be able to take direct stakes in banks to help break the adverse feedback loop between sovereigns and banks.Europe has to build credibility gradually as expansionary fiscal policy is not sustainable for growth, said Vitor Gaspar, Portugal's finance minister at a roundtable seminar during the meetings.The euro zone countries have to support demand and promote long- term growth through structural reforms at the same time, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said, adding that Europe's future lies in the actions of the individual countries.Beyond Europe, it is essential to start addressing "now" the media-term fiscal challenges in the United States and Japan, the IMF noted, adding that this should be accompanied by stronger efforts to tackle U.S. household debt and accelerate housing market reforms.Given negative spillovers from advanced economies, emerging markets also have to use policy room to cushion external shocks and volatile capital flows, and control the current rapid credit growth.In addition, experts urged more powerful global collaborative actions by expanding IMF's financial firepower against crisis, which is a hot issue of the Spring Meetings."A stronger global firewall would benefit all members in such an interconnected world, not only the European countries, but also countries with financial needs," said Lin Jianhai, head of the IMF Secretary Department.Lagarde announced Friday afternoon that the Fund had received commitments of additional resources up to over 430 billion dollars, approaching the amount of 500 billion dollars the IMF may need.Justin Yifu also noted that to strengthen IMF's resources is of great importance to restoring market confidence and bolstering the fragile global recovery.

ULAN BATOR, Jan. 5 () -- Mongolian Democratic Party Chairman Norov Altankhuyag announced Thursday he would withdraw his party from the coalition government led by Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold.Altankhuyag, also the country's First Deputy Prime Minister, made the announcement during the regular weekly news conference held with the party leaders."I have informed the prime minister about the decision to pull out from the coalition. We will work with the prime minister until he finds replacements for the ministers and cabinet members from the Democratic Party," he said.This move is related to the election campaign of the party for the parliamentary and local council elections to be held in June 2012, Altankhuyag said.The current coalition government led by Batbold, who is also chairman of the ruling Mongolian People's Party, was formed following the post-election riot on July 1, 2008. Six members of the Mongolian Democratic Party are working as cabinet members and ministers of the government."By having a coalition government, Mongolia was able to have a stable political life and overcome the global financial and economic crisis with less damage," Altankhuyag said."Now we believe that the Mongolian Democratic Party has fulfilled its historic role and it is time to pull out from the coalition government," he said.The party's decision will have to be validated by the party's National Consultative Committee meeting, the ruling body of the Mongolian Democratic Party.
JERUSALEM, May 21 () -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday presided over the inaugural meeting of a state committee established to draft legislation to impose military service on the country's religiously observant.The first provision of a deal to form a national unity government, inked earlier this month between Netanyahu and the leader of the Kadima party Shaul Mofaz, calls for finding an alternative to the controversial Tal Law, which enables ultra- Orthodox Jewish men to defer enlistment into the military indefinitely.Israel's High Court of Justice in February declared the law, which for years sparked the ire of mostly secular Israelis who shoulder the bulk of compulsory military service, unconstitutional. It is due to officially expire on Aug. 1.Addressing the opening session of the Committee for Advancing Equality and Sharing the Burden, Netanyahu said "time is short" to come up with a new law that will not pit the country's secular and religious publics against one another."We have to listen, to discuss, and to legislate, all within a few weeks," Netanyahu said, adding that the law "must include Jews and Arabs alike," according to a statement sent to .Mofaz, who bolted the opposition along with Kadima's 27 lawmakers, said that he and Netanyahu seek to create "a new national order.""We want to create a more united society ... Israelis are all going on a new path, a new national order," Mofaz said, according to The Jerusalem Post.While the legislation currently being discussed mainly aims to address tensions within the Jewish public, it is due to propose making national civil service mandatory for Israeli Arabs, who are automatically exempt from military service.The country's Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday said his ministry plans to suggest that the annual quota of exemptions given to religious seminary students be limited to "400-500 exceptionally talented and bright students.""Just like we (secular Israelis) have people excelling in many other areas that require creativity and personal abilities, it's certainly fitting to have such a group (comprised of religious students), but it has to be limited," Barak said.
