United States

Economists have revised their fourth quarter GDP estimates after receiving the news that the U.S. trade deficit has shrunk to its lowest level since October 2009.  

Oil imports fell 1.9%, helping the deficit shrink to $34.3 billion (economists were looking for the deficit to come in at $40 billion). 

Now some of Wall Street's top analysts are revising their fourth quarter GDP predictions on the news…….remaining text not included. 

Mexico

Mexico is starting 2014 with renewed energies. After a messy year, in which Mexicans saw their GDP grow by quarters but still fail to reach the expected annual rate, President Enrique Peña Nieto’s administration is envisioning a much better outcome for this year……remaining text not included.

ASIA

 

China

China's economy, the world's second largest, may have grown around 7.6% in 2013, its weakest growth since 1999, with latest economic figures indicating sluggish economic activities in the last quarter.

India

Encouraged by a spurt in investment activities in the latter half of the fiscal year, Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram has said 2013-14 is likely to end with an economic growth of about 5%.  

"These are some of the numbers we are looking at, at the moment ... new investment projects have risen to 4.9% of GDP in the October-December quarter from 3.6% in the previous quarter, which means investments are now beginning to take place," he told PTI in an in an interview. ………remaining text not included.   

Malaysia

Decreasing purchasing power in Malaysia, particularly among middle-class households, could pull down the nation's private consumption growth in 2014 potentially impacting GDP growth in Southeast Asia's third-largest economy….the remaining text is not included.

Philippines

First Metro Investment Corp., the investment banking arm of the Metrobank Group, sees the economy expanding 7% to 7.5% this year, buoyed by increased public and private spending and rehabilitation efforts in calamity-affected areas.

Taiwan

Principal government officials expressed their confidence that Taiwan's 2014 gross domestic product (GDP) will grow 3% in 2014, given that the global economy started to bottom out in late 2013.

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

 

Kuwait

Kuwait's non-oil GDP is expected to grow at 4.5% in 2014 and 2015 compared to last year's 4% mainly on the back of high oil prices, large fiscal and trade surpluses and government’s vast financial reserve, said a report. 

However, overall GDP will decrease by 0.6% in 2014 due to a projected fall in oil production, before rising by 3.1% in 2015, stated National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) in its report.

According to NBK, the soaring oil prices, large fiscal and trade surpluses, and the government’s vast financial reserves continue to provide a positive near-term backdrop for the Kuwaiti economy, it stated………………the remaining text is not included.
