You know, everything says, here's the growth rate of China, here's the growth rate of the U.S., here it goes straight line.

We needed to reduce the population growth rate.

The answer depends on two key variables the discount rate and future earnings growth. A lower discount rate and or a higher rate of expected earnings growth would justify higher equity valuations.

If resource allocation is skewed toward physical capital at the expense of accumulating human capital for which adequate consumption is indispensable economic growth would be more likely to slow than rise. So China should reduce the growth rate of investment and increase that of consumption, allowing the investment rate to settle at a more sustainable level.

In terms of service export, the service export continued its rapid growth momentum since this year, and the export growth rate was 5.7 percentage points higher than the import growth rate from January to August.

Compared to countries with very slow growth rates, countries with reasonably high growth rates should borrow. But when a country s growth rate continues to increase, its saving rate would increase faster than its investment rate, so it is more likely to run a current account surplus.

This is the growth rate of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Few would argue against China s need for slower but better growth. The problem is that if China wishes to lower the GDP growth rate to 7.5 in 2012, from 9.2 in 2011, without worsening the growth pattern by raising the high investment rate even further, the annual growth rate of investment must be equal to or less than 7.5 .

Such measures could stimulate economic growth and sustainable development.

Domestic investments are a critical resource for economic growth and sustainable development.

Empirical evidence shows that there is no invariant relationship between the rate of growth and the rate of poverty reduction, and that even in a context of faster growth, complementary policies specifically targeting poverty are required.

What this shows is that the rate of growth of our emissions is accelerating.

In the last decade, global Internet penetration rate has risen from 21.7 to 48.8 . In developing countries, the growth rate of the Internet penetration rate is double that of developed countries.

Excluding China, there was a general slowdown in growth of service imports by developing countries, mirroring a lower growth rate in their exports.

Today, for a given rate of GDP growth, the corresponding inflation rate is substantially higher than it was over the past two decades. In other words, inflation especially house price inflation has become an important constraint on growth.

The manufacturing growth rate had risen to 9.2 per cent in the previous six months.

Based on these trends and assuming a constant labor participation rate China s potential growth rate over the next decade is likely to hover around 6.9 7.6 , averaging 7.27 . This may be much lower than the 9.4 average growth rate in 1988 2013, but it is more than adequate by global standards.

China s growth slowdown is not in itself surprising or alarming. As the IMF noted, China s growth rate has been declining steadily for five years from 10.6 in 2010 to a projected rate of 6.8 this year and 6.3 in 2016.

No less important are sex education programmes, aimed at reducing the number of teen pregnancies and at bringing the Nicaraguan people, especially young people, to a point where the demographic growth rate is lower than the rate of economic growth.

The huge surge in the GDP growth rate of the more diversified economies brought overall per capita income up to its highest rate of 2.7 per cent.

Europe must aim for sustainable, non inflationary growth and the creation of competitive jobs. The current inflation rate of 0.3 is due to the significant decline in commodity prices and the painful but unavoidable adjustment of costs and prices in the peripheral countries.

Another important goal is to ensure sustainable economic growth over the next 25 years at an annual rate of 7 per cent, which will enable us to implement state policies that will well and truly resolve the problems facing Nicaragua's young people.

Developing countries achieved an average real growth rate of 6.2 per cent, while annual growth among countries with economies in transition amounted to 7.1 per cent.

Only then will America improve its competitiveness enough to allow the government to reduce both private and public debt to sustainable levels while maintaining a respectable growth rate.

Even more fundamental arithmetic lies at the core of the debt quandary. The tax rate required to fund social welfare benefits depends on three factors the dependency ratio (the ratio of recipients to taxpayers) the replacement rate (the ratio of benefits to average wages) and the economic growth rate (roughly, productivity plus population growth).
