For this article the Portugal government is promising to lower the budget in 2019.

For 2019 the Portugal government plans to reach an economic growth of 2.2%. 
This article reminds me of class material because, of all the good that is coming to a country such as Portugal, and the new opportunities their government are giving to civil servants and in helping families with transportation.]]> 2018-10-16 02:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/daniela_jimenez453/xqe2ll8he88c/wish/293135941 daniela_jimenez453 https://padlet.com/daniela_jimenez453/xqe2ll8he88c/wish/293143409 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/14/world/asia/donald-trump-foreign-aid-bill.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fworld&action=click&contentCollection=world&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=10&pgtype=sectionfront

This second article focuses on President Trump who embraces foreign aid to counter China’s global influence, where the United States International Development Finance Corporation gave authority to $60 billion in loans, as well as loan guarantees and insurance to companies willing to do business in developing nations. The state department agency has dispensed $22.7 billion dollars a year in grants around the world.
In previous class discussions countries such as Japan seem to have a similar connection as to this article where global competitiveness seems to be the same in seeking help from economic actors such as the United States.

Economy has come a long way where we didn’t really think much about it, but in recent years we have had to rethink our understanding of economy theory. Now that we must think about what the economy defines, we also must understand what the systematically change our beliefs and instead of just having our high degree of humility; talking about where we are headed but as well as describing where we have been. Gathering from this we come from a perspective of knowing what the economy really versus what it is developing too and understanding it more in the future.

Ireland like other countries has had ups and downs when it comes to finance, but Ireland the finance minister boosted their budget. With a boosted in the budget Ireland gives their workers a small annual tax break, with the fast-growing economy areas like housing have reduced a rate for hospitality which is mostly funded with an extra 700 million euros. Other countries have had more difficulty with their finance, some of those countries haven’t had their finance boosted or catch a tax break like Ireland.

China is a country that represents a significant and growing risk. China was singled out for dominating the global supply on rare earth minerals that are critical for the U.S. military. There are tensions with China that the Trump administration call “Buy American” initiative which helps with collecting billions of dollars to create more jobs. With more jobs there will be people with less debt as well as they can provide a better economy for the future. While some countries are struggling with debt, and it becomes harder to try to get out of debt.
