English to Italian: world economy crisis - crisi dell'economia mondiale
Source text - English
What had started as an across-the-board collapse in the financial markets and institutions has now clearly spilled over onto each and every fundamental sector of the “real” economy, from manufacturing to commercial enterprises. No sector is escaping the downturn. Car sales are at a 25-year low; the housing industry is at a standstill in many parts of the country; and, surprisingly, even luxury goods – couture clothing, jewellery, expensive cars - are experiencing a drop in sales in that marketplace which has traditionally been considered safe from an economic downturn. Many economists have stated that we are at the beginning (or is it the middle?) of the worst recession since 1929, with levels of unemployment predicted to escalate in the next few months. (Thus far, 1.2 million jobs have been lost in the first ten months of the year.)
How long this situation will last is anyone’s guess at this point. The experts are not predicting. Much will depend on those very first steps which President-elect Obama and his Cabinet will make as soon as he takes office.
Although we remain optimistic that some of the financial corrections enacted recently by the Congress and the Federal government will accomplish the intended goals, it is clear that some additional measures are needed to get the economy rolling again. Looking at the history and economic power of the United States, we can be assured that our leaders and consumer society will return us to a healthier marketplace and economy.
However, between now and then, the business community must have the vision, courage, and stamina to exploit new ideas, new products and services, and, yes, new market areas.
Translation - Italian
Ciò che era iniziato come un tracollo generalizzato nei mercati finanziari e nelle istituzioni si è palesemente esteso a tutti i settori fondamentali dell’economia “reale”, dall’industria manifatturiera alle imprese commerciali. Non c’è settore che si sottragga alla flessione. Le vendite di automobili hanno toccato il minimo storico degli ultimi 25 anni, l’industria immobiliare ristagna in molte aree del paese e, sorprendentemente, addirittura i beni di lusso come l’abbigliamento di alta moda, i gioielli e le automobili costose sono soggetti a un calo nelle vendite, proprio in quel mercato che tradizionalmente viene considerato immune da flessioni. Molti economisti hanno dichiarato che siamo all’inizio (o forse nel bel mezzo?) della peggiore recessione dal 1929, con livelli di disoccupazione che sembrano destinati ad aumentare nei prossimi mesi. (Per ora 1,2 milioni di persone hanno perso il posto di lavoro nei primi dieci mesi dell’anno).
Quanto durerà ancora questa situazione è la domanda che tutti si pongono in questo momento. Gli esperti non fanno previsioni. Molto dipenderà dai primissimi passi che il nuovo Presidente eletto Obama ed i suoi consiglieri muoveranno subito dopo l’insediamento.
Sebbene siamo ottimisti sul fatto che alcune rettifiche finanziarie emanate di recente dal Congresso e dal Governo Federale raggiungano gli obiettivi preposti, è evidente che alcune misure supplementari sono necessarie per rimettere in moto l’economia. Guardando alla storia e al potere economico degli Stati Uniti, possiamo affermare con certezza che i nostri leader e la nostra società dei consumi ci riporteranno un mercato ed un’economia più sani di prima.
Tuttavia, tra l’oggi e il domani la comunità affaristica deve avere la lungimiranza, il coraggio e la fibra di sfruttare nuove idee, nuovi prodotti e servizi ed anche, ebbene sì, nuove aree di mercato.
