企业利润下滑不全是坏事

    第一季度，经季调的美国国内利润折成年率增加了417亿美元，而海外利润下降了481亿美元，原因是欧债危机持续恶化，中国和印度经济放缓。如果这种状况持续，高管们需要重新评估增长策略，至少短期内如此。而且，美国国内相对较好的表现也让这些公司有足够的理由考虑增加在美国本土的投资。

    Whereas profits from businesses at home rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $41.7 billion in the first quarter, profits from the rest of the world surprisingly dropped $48.1 billion as Europe's ongoing debt crisis worsens and as China and India's economy slows down. If this continues, executives will need to re-evaluate their growth strategies, at least in the short-term. And the relatively better performance at home is reason enough for companies to consider investing more in the U.S. economy.
