Their recoveries are proceeding at a sluggish pace, and  high unemployment poses major social challenges. By contrast, many  emerging and developing economies are again seeing strong growth,  because they did not experience major financial excesses just prior to  the Great Recession. Sustained, healthy recovery rests on two  rebalancing<br \/>\nacts: internal rebalancing, with a strengthening of private demand in  advanced economies, allowing for fiscal consolidation; and external  rebalancing, with an increase in net exports in deficit countries, such  as the United States, and a decrease in net exports in surplus  countries, notably emerging Asia. The two interact in strong ways.  Increased net exports in advanced economies imply higher demand and  higher growth, allowing more room for fiscal consolidation. Strengthened  domestic demand helps emerging market economies maintain growth in the  face of lower exports. A number of policies are required to support  these rebalancing acts.&#8221; (Ref.
