Currency manipulation: how should the U.S. respond?

A forum featuring Paul Krugman and C. Fred Bergsten 

Friday, March 12, 2010

9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Currency manipulation makes imports artificially cheap and inflates the
prices of U.S. exports, placing U.S. manufacturers "at a huge competitive
disadvantage," as President Obama recently noted.  Research
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PcPwgr5l5%2FbdAtkz3N
mh9TB%2BgRMn95u1>  by leading economists has consistently shown that five
countries are the most egregious currency manipulators--China, Hong Kong,
Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore.  The EPI Forum on Currency Manipulation will
feature economists Fred Bergsten and Paul Krugman, both of whom have
recently called for major Chinese currency appreciation.  Business and labor
leaders will also discuss the impacts of currency manipulation on U.S.
manufacturers and workers.  



Please join the Economic Policy Institute for a discussion of these issues
with noted experts in this exciting forum.
