美國企業(yè)利潤的下降幅度或許有限,但如果這種趨勢持續(xù)下去,或許會促使企業(yè)加大在本土的投資力度。
????第一季度,經季調的美國國內利潤折成年率增加了417億美元,而海外利潤下降了481億美元,原因是歐債危機持續(xù)惡化,中國和印度經濟放緩。如果這種狀況持續(xù),高管們需要重新評估增長策略,至少短期內如此。而且,美國國內相對較好的表現(xiàn)也讓這些公司有足夠的理由考慮增加在美國本土的投資。 ????譯者:早稻米 |
????Whereas profits from businesses at home rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $41.7 billion in the first quarter, profits from the rest of the world surprisingly dropped $48.1 billion as Europe's ongoing debt crisis worsens and as China and India's economy slows down. If this continues, executives will need to re-evaluate their growth strategies, at least in the short-term. And the relatively better performance at home is reason enough for companies to consider investing more in the U.S. economy. |
