The Bureau of Economic Analysis released its third estimate of real gross
domestic product for the second quarter of 2014 — covering April, May and June
of this year. The release showed output in the U.S. increasing at an annual rate
of 4.6%. This is relative to the first quarter when real GDP declined a sharp
2.1%. (The remaining text is not
included in this sample.)
Argentina’s gross domestic product was unchanged in the second quarter from a
year earlier, the government, reviving doubts over the veracity of the data
after JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimated a 1.7% contraction.
First-quarter figures were also revised to an expansion of 0.3% from a 0.2%
contraction, the national statistics agency said. From the previous three
months, the economy grew 0.9% after shrinking for two quarters. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Global growth will improve to around 3.5% year-on-year throughout 2015 and 2016,
as US and India experience faster growth and Latin America normalizes, NAB said
in an update of its global and Australian forecasts.
However, the report downwardly revised forecasts for Australian economic growth,
amid a weaker third quarter and deteriorating terms of trade. NAB expects GDP
growth at 2.8% during fiscal 2015, down 0.1%, and 3.2% for fiscal 2016, down
0.2%. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
China's economy likely grew at its weakest pace in more than five years in the
third quarter as a property downturn weighed on demand, a Reuters poll showed,
raising the chances of more aggressive policy steps that may include cutting
interest rates.
The economy may have expanded 7.3% in the third quarter from a year earlier -
the weakest reading since the first quarter of 2009, when growth hit 6.6% during
the height of the global crisis, according to a poll of 20 economists.
None of the economists believed Q3 growth will dip below 7%, although four
penciled in 7.1% and one expected 7%.
(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
India
Come 2015 economy watchers and experts will have more updated GDP data to
analyze the Indian economy that is showing signs of reversing two years of
slump. The statistics office said that the base year of GDP will be revised to
2011-12 and the new data will be available from 2015.
The overhaul of the GDP is expected to expand the size of the Indian economy,
due to broadening of coverage of unorganized sectors, agriculture and corporate
sector.
"In accordance with the recommendation of the National Statistical Commission to
revise the base year of all economic indices every five years, it is proposed to
revise the base year of national accounts from 2004-05 to 2011-12 in 2015,"
ministry of statistics and program implementation said.
(The remaining text is not included
in this sample.)
Malaysia is accelerating infrastructure investment as Prime Minister Najib Razak
leans on public expenditure to boost growth amid concern subsidy cuts and a new
consumption tax will curb private spending.
The government will start work on projects such as highways and rail worth at
least 75 billion ringgit ($23 billion), Najib said in a budget speech in Kuala
Lumpur today. He announced wider exemptions of items under the goods and
services tax to reduce the impact of the levy, as the finance ministry targets
growth of as much as 6% this year and next.
The central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged last month after an
increase in July and said it will assess the balance of risks between the
outlook for growth and inflation when considering further policy moves.
(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Singapore
Singapore’s central bank is keeping monetary policy steady despite the economy’s
sluggish growth, signaling greater worry about inflationary pressures than the
possibility of a slowdown.
The government reported that third-quarter gross domestic product rose 1.2% on
quarter on a seasonally adjusted and annualized basis, according to advance
estimates. The measure is below a 2.2% growth forecast by economists in a Dow
Jones poll, though a reversal of a 0.1% contraction in the second quarter.
(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
On Sept. 30, Kenya announced the results of its “rebasing”—a recalculation of
its gross domestic product to include previously unaccounted-for economic
activity. Its GDP expanded 25.3%, to $55.2 billion, moving it up several rungs
on the list of Africa’s largest economies, to 9th. The government adjusted its
2013 growth rate from 4.7% to 5.7%.
Kenya’s is the latest in a series of rebasings that have reinforced investors’
perception of the area’s growth potential. Even as Ebola ravages West Africa and
civil war devastates the Democratic Republic of Congo, many of the other
economies in the region remain dynamic: The International Monetary Fund predicts
sub-Saharan growth will be 5.8% next year, up from an estimated 5.1% for 2014.
(The remaining text is not included
in this sample.)
Greece revised data on last year's gross domestic product, showing its economy
shrank by 3.3% for the year as a whole, less than a previous estimate of a 3.9%
contraction.
(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Nigeria gross domestic product (GDP), is expected to increase by another 20% to
make it a competitive Information and Communication Technology hub through
foreign investments shortly after the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition
(GITEX) holding in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate.
“Nigeria and Dubai are formidable in
terms of ICT and when we come together, we share experiences and compare notes
for future use. This event is going to be a partnership that is far from
learning, “he said. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Switzerland has reduced its economic growth forecasts on the back of the
declining performance of its main trading partners in Europe, most notably
Germany. Gross domestic product (GDP) is now tipped to expand 1.8% this year,
rather than 2%.
The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has also cut GDP growth
predictions to 2.4% for 2015, down from the 2.6% it forecast earlier this year.
But SECO warned that changes to the way it calculates growth make a direct
comparison between these figures difficult.
(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Falling oil prices won’t hurt the gross domestic product growth of the UAE this
year, a Ministry of Economy official told reporters recently.
“Oil accounts for less than 30% of our GDP, so there will be no impact. The UAE
economy is now very diversified,” said Mohammed Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz Al Shehhi,
undersecretary at the ministry.
