Columbia 

Colombia’s economy grew at the fastest pace in more than two years in the first quarter, beating all analysts’ forecasts, after a surge in government spending ahead of President Manuel Santos’ re-election. Bond fell on expectations of higher interest rates.

 

Gross domestic product grew 6.4% from the year earlier, the national statistics agency said, compared with 4.9% in the previous three months.

ASIA

 

China 

Nearly every story about China’s extraordinary growth over the past 30 years asserts two things as a given: 

 

a. China has grown about 10% a year for 30 years, and

b. China’s long-term growth record in unsurpassed in modern history. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

According to Emefiele, the exercise which placed the size of the Nigerian economy as first in Africa and 26th in the world would also afford the country a more positive sovereign rating by international rating agencies such as the Standard and Poor's, Fitch Ratings, (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

 

Russia 

Russia's gross domestic product growth forecast of 0.5% for 2014 may be revised upwards in September due to the slowing pace of a decline in investment, Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said.

 

"For now our official (forecast) for this year is 0.5%, but most likely we will revise it in September, most likely upwards," Ulyukayev told journalists. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
