The justification for this sharp decline (from the level of a couple of years ago) is the need to avoid a prolonged recession after the burst of the stock market "bubble" and the demise of the so-called "new economy".
Justificarea pentru acest declin rapid (fata de valorile atinse in urma cu doi ani) este nececsitatea de a evita o recesiune prelungita in urma "dezumflarii" pietelor supraevaluate si a esecului a ceea ce se numea o data "noua economie".
