GE's Immelt:Recovery Restoring confidence key

The magic of the U.S. economy needs - not just consumer confidence, but more willing to compete for business - at General Electric's chief executive Jeff Immelt's attention.

America's largest enterprise groups, the Obama administration's senior adviser on employment and economic official said he believes it is not enough countries, including China's efforts and global competitors.

"The focus, brought about by globalization is good for us ... if I think we will try our best as a nation, still have our trade deficit today, I will depressed," Iraq Meier Te said the Thomson Reuters newsmaker (Monday) in New York event.

"We do not want to be so difficult," he added. "We have not really tried as hard as we can compete, education, and our products sold around the world, I think we can do better."

Country's economic malaise, now in its third year, leaving many ordinary Americans are angry and frustrated systems, Immelt admitted that he said, people need the power of compassion in their problems.

"Immelt said," the unemployment rate was 9.1%. Underemployment, especially young people, do not have a college education, much higher than. "This is a very natural assumption people are angry, I think we have sympathy and understanding, people are not feeling good."

Large and diverse group of protesters, who complained that the U.S. economic system does not work to a large slice of the population of interest, has been a month now visible presence on Wall Street. Movement, known as the "take Wall Street" has spread throughout the country.

Demonstrators complained that billions of dollars during the recession, the U.S. government spent propped up financial companies, including General Electric, which allows banks to earn profits, there is no benefit ordinary Americans.

The only answer to the growth of the world's largest jet engine turbine manufacturers and electric head, said he believes strong growth as the only answer to rising real disillusionment.

"The only way to solve this specific problem of growth," Immelt said. "If unemployment comes down people will feel better, if the rise in unemployment will feel even worse, no matter what Wall Street."

Immelt said that the average American CEO pay and the gap between is adding to the tensions.

"The gap is definitely why people today feel that their system is unfair to one of the issues," Immelt said.

However, he pointed, lower CEO pay and lower the unemployment rate itself is powerless.

"If the CEO pay all the way down, the unemployment rate was 12%, people still feel bad," Immelt said. "This is a symptom, but it is no problem."

For him, Immelt believes that U.S. companies can work with rivals in emerging markets such as China, and the profits in the development of competition in the market. He cited Russia as a major focus in the next decade, adding that, GE is also investing in resource-rich African countries, including Mozambique, Angola, Nigeria and South Africa.

"The most likely situation is that Europe has a very long time period of slow growth," Immelt said. "This process is to resolve within Europe."

The partisanship in Washington, the country's economic damages, which slow down the system through the reform, Immelt said, adding that he feared anti-Wall Street rhetoric to hurt other people than those.

"If your first comment is on Wall Street is terrible, your leadership, you do not hurt Wall Street," Immelt said. "But some guy in Illinois is not going to build a factory today, because he believes that the financial system is great in my opinion terrible when leaders like me who is trying to do things more convergence, because ultimately it counts. "

In his view, Germany - home of GE's largest competitor, Siemens is one - as a wealthy country, has been promoting the export success stories.

"Prime Minister (Angela) Merkel flies from Berlin to Beijing, 25 to go behind her on the plane of the German veterans, and these connect the dots, to play hard, they play to win," Immelt said.

President Obama, he added, "has been out driving and driven, trying to double exports in the next five years, I think we can compete well, but we are not all in the same way, the German people, all come . "

Country's economic malaise, now in its third year, left many Americans angry and frustrated, Immelt said, in the power of the people who need sympathy.
