The most important initiative you could take to improve the world economy would be to stabilize the dollar-euro rate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The benefits from a world currency would be enormous.
We will do everything to change what needs to be changed, fight against recession so that the country meets its targets, while reinforcing our country in the heart of the euro and the European Union.
Reducing our dependence on foreign energy - that is critically important to America's economic future. Excellence in education - if we're not the best educated, we're not going to be the most powerful for very long.
But I would bet that the euro continues to exist and that its importance as a global currency will likely increase.
I understand what needs to be done to fix the economy.
Our most important priority is sustained economic growth, and I think we can absolutely get to sustained 3% to 4% GDP, and that is absolutely critical for the country.
The most important thing is to defend the euro.
I believe the quickest and most sure way to reduce poverty, raise living standards and create jobs around the world is to make economies and governments more open and free, thereby encouraging business and entrepreneurship.
My first priority is growing this economy in the long term, and stimulating it in the short term.
It's important to focus on how we can strengthen international trade.
