Countries present different economic strategies such as cutting bank reserve ratio for China. That will allow to boost growth. Others, such as the UK, prefer focusing on reducing inflation and cutting interest rates, for example. 

Reducing inflation does not mean that consumption will increase and the number of jobless will decrease. Investors are looking for positive results and long-term confidence. Pressures are in every sector at the international, regional, and local levels.
