Mexico’s gross domestic product fell less-than-expected in the last quarter, according to official data.

Mexican GDP 1.6% vs. 1.5% forecast. In a report, Insituto Nacional de Estadistica Y Geografia said that Mexican GDP fell to a seasonally adjusted 1.6%, from 1.8% in the preceding quarter. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

Reserve Bank of India has projected around 5.5% GDP growth for 2014-15 after two painful years of sub-5% growth, as the new government focuses on fiscal consolidation and is taking steps to clear stalled industrial and construction projects to shake up a stagnating economy.

This is in line with the projections made at the start of 2014-15 and RBI is now looking at the prospect of a sustainable 7% growth in the medium term if the government takes the reforms process forward in the areas of industry, services, international trade, labor markets, public sector management and financial markets.

"The Indian economy stands at crossroads that could take it from a slow bumpy lane to a faster highway," RBI said in its annual report for 2013-14. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

War is supposed to be “good” for the economy, according to some experts, by boosting government spending — but that hasn’t happened in Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The travel industry is in a shambles, tourism’s summer high season is ruined, and much-needed work isn’t getting done because 50,000 reserve soldiers, most of them members of the workforce, are otherwise occupied on the front lines. This is in addition to the expense of the war itself.

It was inevitable that the war would have an impact on the economy, according to Psagot Investment House. In its report, the group put the cost of the war at a quarter of a percent of what had been an expected 2.9% growth in GDP for 2014. Taking into account the losses to business, the expenses the government is facing, and the cost of repairing the economic damage, the report bumps down the expected growth rate for Israel for the year to 2.4% – taking into account the possibility that the war will last for another week and a half. If it goes longer, Psagot said, it may have to revise its figures again.

The group made its assessment on the basis of another “summer war” — the Second Lebanon War, which took place during July and August of 2006. The war also hurt tourism and required extensive resources to repair buildings that were damaged by Hezbollah rockets. Iron Dome, which has spared lives and property this time by intercepting incoming rockets, had not been invented yet. While far fewer buildings have been damaged in the current war, Psagot said, that “gain” is wiped out by the fact that life in many more cities in the center of the country are being affected in many ways by Hamas rockets. Hezbollah was unable to reach farther south than Hadera, while Hamas rockets have hit Tel Aviv and well to the north. . (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
