Macroeconomic Analysis and Comparative Stock

Macroeconomic Analysis and Comparative Stock Exchange Exercise In the world of globalization and market liberalization, the countries and economies across the world become more intertwined and come to base their evolutions and decisions on international affairs. One important place where the governments can meet to exchange information and set the basis for future collaborations and partnerships is represented by the G20 Summit. This meeting takes place each year and it is attended by the governmental leaders of the twenty most developed regions, namely 19 countries and the European Union.

The most recent G20 Summit was held in Los Cabos, Mexico, under the patronage and improvement commitment of the Mexican president and government. At the specific level of the United States, emphasis was placed on the shy signs of economic revival and the possibility of the U.S. To drive up economic growth in other regions as well. Emphasis was placed on the provision of support to the strengthening of the European Union and its currency, and this could weaken the strength of the U.S.

dollar within the international market place. Other decisions that were made included improvements in market regulations, which could improve the quality of financial reporting as well as the stability of the fiscal system in the U.S. Emphasis also fell on the need to create more sustainable food sources and to integrate research in agriculture. These measures could then increase the agricultural production in the North American country, as well as increasing the quality of the agricultural activities in the meaning of making them more environmentally sustainable.

Some issues that were left insufficiently discussed included the state and subsidies in the fossil fuel sector, the lack of support provision for young and female entrepreneurship, as well as the state of health care. Within the U.S., all these dimensions constitute important problems, which are likely to further deepen in the future, in the absence of organized support from the international community. Another important aspect to be assessed in the context of the international community is represented by the stock exchanges.

These are generically understood as organized market places where securities are bought and sold between investors. The stock markets across the globe reveal a series of differences, such as their size, the number of investors and companies served, the diversity of the industries they serve and so on. Still, the stock markets also reveal the more notable commonality of reflecting the status of the global economy. In such a context, the stock exchange markets are essential within the global financial sector.

At this level then, the analysis would be conducted between the New York Stock Exchange, the Mexico Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) and the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BM&F Bovespa). In terms of size, the largest stock market is, by far, represented by NYSE, which trades the highest volumes of shares and which has the highest value of the transactions.

The New York Stock Exchange and the Brazilian Exchange are both companies created as a result of mergers between two other entities, namely Sao Paolo Stock Exchange and the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange in the case of BM&F Bovespa and the NYSE Group and Euronext N.V. In the case of the New York Stock Exchange. The Mexican Stock Exchange however is a public institution.

The three institutions serve similar functions, yet the differences reside in the areas they serve, the volume of traded shares, the number of investors and other indices which show the differences in size and strength between NYSE and the two other markets. All in all, the current project has assessed two important international aspects, namely the resolutions of the G20 Summit of Los Cabos and the international stock exchange markets.

At the level of the G20, emphasis has been placed on the impact of the summit conclusions upon the United States of America. The findings indicate that the G20 has focused mostly on the economic crisis and the creation of a more sustainable economic environment in which the crisis can be solved. Discussions were held around European issue and the United States was expected to revive and stimulate the revival of other states as well.

Little emphasis was however placed on health care, fossil fuels and women in entrepreneurship, all of these aspects being critical in the North American country.
