Estimates of US GDP growth for 2014's fourth quarter have been rising in recent months, but the current outlook still anticipates a substantial slowdown from Q3's strong advance. The economy is projected to increase 3.6% in Q4 (real seasonally adjusted rate), based on The Capital Spectator's new median point forecast for several econometric estimates. That's a solid rate of growth, but the latest outlook still represents a substantially lesser pace vs. the 5.0% increase previously reported for Q3.(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

China's 2015 GDP growth forecast has been maintained at 6.8 percent, as further policy support and export recovery is expected to help bolster the sluggish economy, according to UBS.

"December and Q4's better than expected data will unlikely trigger any immediate significant new easing measures for now, but the first rate cut may happen (around) March or April, when even lower CPI (consumer price index) and PPI (producer price index) are reported," said Wang Tao, chief China economist with UBS, said in a research note.

Wang added that policy support will intensify in 2015 with accelerated pro-growth measures in areas such as price, social safety net and hukou (household registration) reform, and more infrastructure projects.

Further monetary easing via liquidity provisions, including required reserve ratio cuts, is expected to offset slower foreign exchange reserve accumulation and benchmark rate cuts of at least 50 basis points are also expected to prevent real rates from rising, according to UBS…(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

Media reports have claimed the German government has revised its 2015 growth outlook for the national economy in 2015. It said GDP would grow by 1.5 percent this year, up from a previous and more cautious estimate.

According to reports by Reuters and AFP news agencies, the German government sees GDP growth come in at 1.5% this year, up from an earlier estimate of just 1.3% for the whole of 2015.

The figures are part of the government's 2015 Economic Outlook to be presented by Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel during an official news conference in Berlin.

The draft document says the improved outlook is mainly down to continuously low oil prices and the most recent labor market data.

The German economy is "in good shape," the report says, with more people than ever having a job and the unemployment rate expected to drop further to 6.6% in 2015, down from 6.7% last year. This would leave 2.9 million people out of work in the country in the course of the year…(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
