The days when politicians around the world sought to promote their financial sectors as engines of economic growth could not be more remote. The agenda of the forthcoming Group of 20 summit, with its heavy emphasis on re-regulation, makes such views wholly obsolete. But that leaves policymakers in the world's more financially orientated economies with a problem. Do they simply say goodbye to their supposed comparative advantage in financial services? Or can they salvage something from the wreckage?
世界各地政治家尋求推動(dòng)本國(guó)金融業(yè)成為經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)引擎的日子，顯得無比遙遠(yuǎn)。即將召開的20國(guó)集團(tuán)(G20)峰會(huì)的重點(diǎn)議程是重新加強(qiáng)監(jiān)管，將使上述觀點(diǎn)徹底過時(shí)。但這將給那些更強(qiáng)調(diào)以金融業(yè)為導(dǎo)向的經(jīng)濟(jì)體的政策制定者帶來一個(gè)問題：他們應(yīng)該干脆地向自己在金融服務(wù)業(yè)的所謂相對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)說再見？抑或他們能夠從殘骸中搶救出什么東西？
