545.G20共同声明、機動的に財政出動ー2014.9.21 [国際ーアメリカ、ヨーロッパ、アジア、オセアニア]
(a）日本語のニュース
オーストラリアのケアンズで開かれていたG20＝主要20か国の財務相・中央銀行総裁会議は、21日2日間にわたった会議を終え、「経済成長と雇用の創出を支えるために機動的に財政的な戦略を行う」という共同声明を発表しました。
共同声明は、また、G20全体でGDP=国内総生産を今後5年間で2%以上引き上げる目標については、各国の取り組みが進めば、1.8%の成長が可能という見通しを示したうえで、追加的な施策を進めることで成長を促すとしています。
会議後の記者会見で、アメリカのルー財務長官は、日本とユーロ圏の最近の成長鈍化について、「期待外れの状況だ」と述べて、追加の対策をとるよう求め、アメリカ経済の回復が明確になりつつあるなかで、ヨーロッパと日本が低迷を続けていることに不満を示しました。

Financial leaders fro the Group of 20 industrial and emerging countries have agreed to implement fiscal strategies flexibly to support economic growth and job creation.
The agreement was contained in a joint communique issued in Cairns, Australia,
on Sunday after two-day talks of finance ministers and central bank governors from the G20.
The G20 countries aim to meet a goal set earlier this year to lift their collective gross domestic product by more than 2 percent over the next 5 years by sparking private-sector investment and employment.
The joint communique now forecasts that 1.8-percent economic growth could be achieved, and recommends new measures, including boosting investment, to achieve that goal.
Speaking to newsmen after the talks, U.S.Treasury Secretary Jack Law called on the Eurozone countries and Japan to take new steps for fiscal stimulus.

G20財務相・中央銀行総裁会議、共同声明発表のニュースについては、日本のメディアは、1日目、2日目の会議 の模様、共同声明の発表は、まめに迅速に伝えていましたが、これは、各社の経済部の記者が日本政府代表団に同行していたからで、いかに財務省サイドのプレス・サービスがいいかを表わしています。しかし、それは、日本政府からみた会議の内容だということもいえます。外国のメディアは、ほとんど報道せず、わずかにいくつかの通信社が伝えただけで、日本やドイツの金融政策にきびしいものでした。
それらのメディアの報道を紹介しましょう。
オーストラリアの『AAP(=Australian Associated Press)』通信は、"G20 still has work to do: Hockey"
（オーストラリアのホッケー財務相談：G20、まだやるべきことがある）という見出しで、"The G20 under Australia's presidency still has some work to do. The ambitious economic growth target of the world's richest nations is almost complete, but it's still too early to say 2014 has been a complete success. G20 finance ministers and central bankrs finished a two-day meeting in Cairns on Sunday under tight police security. It was the first international gathering since the Abbott government raised the threat level a week ago, and this weekend's gathering was being treated as a test for the G20 leaders summit in Brisbane in November"（オーストラリアが議長国となっているG20は、まだやらなければならないことがある。世界の富裕国の望ましい経済成長の目標は、ほぼ完全に達成できるが、2014年が完全に成功というまでには、まだ早い。G20の財務相・中央銀行総裁会議は、厳しい警護のもとでケアンズでの2日間の会議を終えた。この会議は、アボット政権が1週間前脅迫に対する警戒のレベルを引き上げて以来初めての国際会議であり、11月ブリスベンで開かれるG20首脳会議のテストケースなのだ）と報じました。

38.世界各地で新年を祝うー2012.1.1-2 (最新版） [国際ーアメリカ、ヨーロッパ、アジア、オセアニア]
＊2012.1.21の第7回サロンのテキスト＊
（いつもの形式とは違って、英語のニュースを中心に書いてあります。）
あけましておめでとうございます。
新年を迎え、世界各地で、カウントダウン、花火の打ち上げ、イルミネーションの点灯などさまざまな催しが行われましたので、それらを紹介しましょう。
Revellers around the world celebrated the start of the New Year 2012 on Sunday.
The world eagerly welcomed the New Year and hoped for a better future, saying goodbye to a year of hurricanes,tsunami and economic turmoil..
In New York, hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the Times Square to witness a crystal ball with more than 30,000 lights that descended at midnight. Lady Gaga and Mayor Michael Bloomberg led the crowd in the final-minute countdown of the famed crystal-paneled ball drop. Crowds erupted in cheers, kissed and hugged as the giant ball dropped at midnight to mark the start of 2012
Many people said they hope to see a recovery of the US economy in the New Year with plenty of job opportunities.
In London, firework lit up the sky over London's River Thames as the clock struck midnight. As Big Ben chimed on midnight, the sky exploded with pyrotechnics to mark the start of the New Year.
In 2012, London will host the Summer Olympics and pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubliee marking her 60 years on the throne.
In Sydney, hundreds of thousands of people crowded into the harbour to witness large-scale fireworks. They were launched from ships,the shore and the illuminated harbour. Organizers hailed the fireworks as the biggest New Year's Eve display in the world.
The first places to celebrate the New Year were the south Pacific islands of Samoa and Tokelau after they jumped across the international dateline.
As the clock struck midnight at the end of December 29, these two islands fast-forwarded to December 31, missing out on December 30 entirely.
These islands decided to realign themselves from the American side to the Asian side to be more in tune with key trading partners.
Many Japanese worshippers paid their first visit of the new year to shrines and temples throughout the country, praying for the health of family and the reconstruction of disaster-hit areas from the earthquakes and tsunami in March, 2011.
Tens of thousands of well-wishers visited the Imperial Palace in Tokyo for New Year's greetings and the Emperor said to the public that he hopes 2012 will be a better year for the Japanese people as the country recovers from the disaster in March,2011.
Major department stores kicked off business for the New Year as crowds of shoppers sought "lucky bags" filled with discount goods and other New Year bargains.
Mailmen delivered New Year's greeting cards in various parts of the country, including disaster-hit areas.
Exchanging such cards is a popular tradition for Japanese people during the New Year holidays.
次に世界各国首脳の新年のメッセージを紹介しましょう。
World leaders have sent New Year's messages, warning of a difficult year ahead.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said in his New Year's TV speech that the debt crisis was not finished,and said that structural changes to the French economy are needed in order to return to growth.
Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, in a TV speech, sought public support for harsh austerity measures to overcome the nation's debt crisis.

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano urged people to make sacrifices to prevent the financial collapse of Italy.
U.S.President Barack Obama called on Americans to work together in the New Year.
In his speech, he said that in 2011 the United States ended one war and began to wind down another war. Mr.Obama said the United States stands by friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions. He is seeking re-election in the presidential elections in November, 2012.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in an address that Russia's duty is to build a progressive state,where all people can live comfortably and do stimulating work. He gave up seeking re-election in the presidential elections in March, 2012, while Prime Minister Vladimir Putin declared his candidacy in the presidential elections.
Chinese President Hu Jintao said in his address that his country will cooperate with other countries in 2012, placing priority on ensuring stability in the global economy. He is expected to be replaced by Vice President Xi Jinping in October, 2012.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said in his speech that he will do his utmost to maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. He said he anticipates major changes on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia because of the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong il.
