Christian Noyer, Governor of the Bank of France and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the BIS<\/em>: My first remark….. In advanced countries, the average public debt to GNP ratio is 100%. In emerging countries, the figure is 30%. This is a very wide gap, and it represents one of the global economy\u2019s largest imbalances. And one of the least mentioned. It also represents a complete reversal of the situation compared with just over twenty years ago…..
\nSecond remark, global demand is still fairly concentrated on the advanced countries. Not only is their debt higher, but their savings (as a ratio of GNP) are lower. The G7 countries alone still account for 56% of global consumption. The problem is clear. How can we hope to raise our level of consumption if we need to reduce our level of debt and increase our savings? And if the advanced countries\u2019 consumption stops growing, what will happen to global economic growth and particularly that of emerging countries with entirely export-oriented economies?<\/p>\n
