General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Chine et l’Inde constituent depuis quelques années les nouveaux moteurs de la croissance économique mondiale. 2007 n’aura pas fait exception à cet état de fait. En 2007, la Chine a enregistré avec 11,4% une 5ème année de croissance économique consécutive supérieure à 10%. L’Inde de son côté annonçait avoir atteint en 2007 une croissance de 9,4%. Ce faisant, les autorités de ces deux pays ont été confrontés à l’apparition de pressions inflationnistes, les forçant à utiliser toute la panoplie de mesures dont elles disposent pour éviter un emballement.

racing, overheating
It is an analogy with an engine that is revved up, hence racing. But this term while correct has no ring in economics. I would rather use the alternative overheating or something to this intent.

a boom
used in an economic sense this can refer to a "boom in the stock exchange" - "l'emballement des cours à la Bourse"; it may be used in a similar way here.

Paul Cohen
: Look at the context: "éviter un emballement" - why would a country want to avoid an economic boom? Isn't that something positive and desirable?
