Pump Summit Shaping Up For Next June
The steering committee for Pump Summit next June in Houston tentatively selected nine workshop tracks, plus plenary sessions and a training program. HI will be heavily involved as will an impressive group of pump experts from industry. McIlvaine reported on the Pump Summit in Dusseldorf last December. This conference was held in conjunction with Valve World. The same format will be repeated in 2016. The U.S. version will be in the same location as Valve World Americas being held this week at the GRB Convention Center but on an alternate year. There was record attendance this week at the Valve Expo. The McIlvaine speech is available at: http://www.mcilvainecompany.com/Decision_Tree/subscriber/Tree/DescriptionTextLinks/VWspeech_Final_July15.pdf

AMERICAS
United States
Real gross domestic product (GDP) edged down 0.2% at an annual rate in the first quarter of 2015, according to the third estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This report reflects an upward revision of 0.5 percentage point to overall GDP growth. The slower first quarter follows a solid increase of 3.6% at an annual rate during the second half of 2014. Over the past four quarters, GDP rose 2.9%. First-quarter growth was likely affected by a number of transitory factors including unusually severe weather, the West Coast ports dispute, and various measurement issues. A decline in net exports was another important contributor to weak GDP growth. Indeed, net exports subtracted nearly 2 full percentage points from quarterly GDP growth. Furthermore, structures investment subtracted about 0.6 percentage point from GDP, reflecting reduced oil drilling in the wake of last year’s decline in oil prices. Despite the decrease in GDP, real gross domestic income—an alternate measure of economic output—increased 1.9% at an annual rate in the first quarter.
The upward revision to first-quarter GDP was spread across many components of economic output. Personal consumption expenditures contributed 0.2 percentage point to the upward revision with improvements in estimates of both goods and services consumption. Private investment contributed another 0.3 percentage point with a mix of small upward revisions to structures investment, intellectual property investment, inventories, and residential investment. State and local government investment contributed the remaining 0.1 percentage point to the upward revision. Exports and imports saw offsetting revisions, leaving net exports essentially unrevised on balance. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
ASIA
Hong Kong
The University of Hong Kong has downgraded its estimate for the city's economic growth to 2% in the second quarter of this year from 2.4% previously because of poor external demand and economic turmoil overseas.
The Apec studies program of the Hong Kong Institute of Economics and Business Strategy at the university also blamed the city's possible slower growth on the long-lasting effects of a stronger US dollar, to which the Hong Kong dollar is pegged.
With the uncertainty of mainland China's slowdown, the delayed resolution of Greece's debt crisis and the uncertain timing of a much talked about rise in interest rates in the United States, Hong Kong's economy is expected to grow moderately this year, the university said.
It predicted economic growth would taper off further to 1.7% in the three months to September 30, from the same period last year.

For the full year, it expected the city's real gross domestic product to grow 2%- below the 2.5% for last year but within the government's prediction of a 1 to 3% rise. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
United Kingdom
The Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) has revised downwards its forecast of UK gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2015 to 2.4%.
This is slightly lower than the OBR's previous forecast, made in March, of 2.5% GDP growth in 2015. Chancellor George Osborne blamed lower forecasts on slower global growth, in his Budget statement.
The OBR's forecast for 2016 was unchanged at 2.3%.
'The UK is growing faster than any other advanced economy,' he said, in the first wholly Conservative Budget since 1996.
He also said that current budget deficit as a percentage of GDP is expected to be reduced to 3.7% this year and 2.2% in 2016/17. It was 10.2% of national income in 2010.
'Britain has turned the corner and left the age of irresponsibility behind,' he said.
He predicted that a current budget deficit surplus would be reached by 2019/20. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
A complete analysis of GDP and monthly updates for individual countries are included as part of Pumps World Market.
