In April 2010, the International Monetary Fund s World Economic Outlook projected 1.8 annual GDP growth in Germany and the Netherlands in 2013. In October of last year, the IMF lowered its 2013 growth forecast for Germany to 0.9 and to 0.4 for the Netherlands.

However, the Committee was informed that a more favourable economic position was emerging as evidenced by improved foreign investment and a forecast of modest growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in the first half of 1998.

For actual GDP, such frequent and large forecast revisions are inevitable. Potential GDP, however, is supposed to be more stable, as it does not depend on demand side developments.

That is not a forecast about how commodity prices go it's a forecast of the consequences, the long term consequences, for growth of an increase in prices.

With the threat of unsustainably high interest rates in the countries of the eurozone periphery having disappeared, the path to moderate recovery was supposedly open, to be followed by some acceleration in growth in 2015.

Remotely possible Would require 5 annual growth and redistribution of 0.03 of GDP or growth in excess of 6

SANTIAGO As commodity prices come back to earth and the Federal Reserve s gradual exit from quantitative easing leads to higher interest rates in the United States, Latin America s economies face the challenge of sustaining growth. The region s main economies recorded slower GDP growth in 2013, and much the same is being forecast for 2014.

Instead, after successive revisions, world GDP in 2012 is now expected to grow by only 3.3 while inflation is forecast to reach 4 , signaling much weaker global economic momentum than was anticipated. Lower than expected growth and higher than expected inflation have affected most economies.
