The managing director of the Four X Company is concerned about the implications concerning the issues mentioned below. As a legal advisor, I have been asked to address the issues in terms of research and analysis of GATT/WTO principles and structure. My purpose is to advise the Four-X company on the action that the country of Fargo may take against the country of Narnia under GATT/WTO Law, specifically, whether it can challenge the Designer Tax.

I think that the Four X company does can challenge the Designer Tax, because it is was introduced in contradiction with the theories of international trade. Besides, the government of the country of Narnia did not have the sovereignty to impose this tax on imported products, and ignore it with similar products produced locally.

Over centuries of complex monetary systems and convoluted denominations, there has always been a currency or two which stood out and made a significant impact on international economic and financial structures. From the Greek drachma of the third century BC to the US dollar of the 20th century, one currency has always risen at any point in time to dominate the global monetary system.

An inherent feature of an important international currency is its stability. This in turn is hinged on several factors which Robert Mundell, an economics professor and Nobel Prize winner, enumerates in his 1998 paper about the euro. Mundell identifies five factors that affect the stability of a given currency, namely: size of transactions domain, stability of monetary policy, absence of controls, strength and continuity of issuing state, and fall-back value.

Sources close to “Mann International” say that the firm remains of the opinion that US consumers will remain conspicuous by their absence from retail sales figures for the considerable future.

The US technically emerged from its long recession last week when data showed that its economy grew by 0.9% in the quarter through September – equivalent to annual growth of 3.5%. Although markets rallied strongly on the news, gains fell away sharply the next trading day after investors digested the fact that much of the rise in consumption could be attributable to government spending in the form of incentive schemes like the so-called “cash for clunkers” program.

Analysts at “Mann International” said that the Obama administration had to consider whether the withdrawal of such programs would derail the recovery and said that the US government was effectively the new US consumer.

Sources close to analysts at “Zen International” believe that internal wrangling within the European Union will result in the complete failure of the recently announced rescue plan for Greece.

It is widely acknowledged that both France and Germany are reluctant to commit funds to Greece’s rescue. Both nations are concerned about the prospect of setting a morally hazardous precedent which may encourage other similarly afflicted nations like Portugal, Spain and Italy to seek bailouts should their debt problems deteriorate.

The “Zen International” analysts also cited the fact that the Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, told the European Parliament that his country was losing patience with the inability of the EU to provide guarantees despite the country’s implementation of severe austerity measures which he believes demonstrate Greece’s commitment to reducing its deficit.

Sources close to analysts at “Zen International” suggest that the toxic assets held on the US Federal Reserve’s balance sheet will be very difficult to sell when the central bank decides to withdraw liquidity from the financial system as part of its exit strategy.

The Fed acquired large quantities of mortgage-backed securities as part of its effort to provide US banks with access to liquidity at the height of the credit crunch but “Zen International” believes that the dire state of the housing market and the rising delinquency rate of US mortgage holders will see investors giving the assets a wide berth when the time comes to sell.

The Federal Reserve also purchased up to $1 trillion-worth of newly-issued agency debt in an effort to provide more funding for mortgage lenders as part of its quantitative easing program and “Zen International” analysts are thought to feel that it may be forced to hold on to these for years to come if, as expected, the US economy’s recovery is slow and laborious.
