Mexico
Mexicos economy expanded less than analysts estimated for the eighth time in 10
quarters as a rebound in growth stalled in September on weak domestic demand.
Gross domestic product rose 2.2% from a year earlier, compared with a 1.6%
expansion in the second quarter, the national statistics institute said. The
median estimate of 24 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for growth of 2.3%.
The IGAE indicator, a proxy for GDP that was also reported today, fell 0.1% from
a month earlier in September, the second straight decline.
Banco de Mexico, led by Governor Agustin Carstens, cut its growth forecast range
this week, saying indicators of domestic demand such as consumer confidence
remain weak even as exports have picked up. Latin Americas second-largest
economy is struggling to rebound from 1.4% growth last year, the slowest
expansion since the 2009 recession.
The economy has no momentum going into the fourth quarter, Carlos Capistran,
the chief Mexico economist for Bank of America Corp. in Mexico City, said in an
e-mailed response to questions. Services and industry remain weak.

ASIA
Thailand
Thailand cut its outlook for the fourth time this year after its economy grew
much less than expected in the July-September quarter, hit by a contraction in
exports and tourism.
The surprisingly weak outlook has raised doubts the junta can quickly turn the
economy around even after pledging to roll out infrastructure projects and other
steps to boost spending.
Southeast Asia's second-largest economy grew 1.1% in the third quarter from the
prior three months, and 0.6% from a year earlier, the National Economic and
Social Development Board (NESDB) said. The remaining text is not included in
this sample.
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Eurozone
The 18-country Eurozone eked out only weak growth in the third quarter,
underlining how Europe is still struggling to escape its six-year slump.
Expectations have become so bleak lately that analysts welcomed the Eurozones
annualized growth rate of 0.6% in the last quarter as a positive surprise.
Germany barely grew, France grew but largely because companies built up
inventories, and Italy fell back into recession.
The blocs gross domestic product remains more than 2% below its level before
the 2008 global financial crisisat a time when growth in other advanced
economies such as the U.S. and UK is finally strengthening.
The Eurozone economy expanded last quarter at a sluggish rate, underscoring
concerns that the region is stuck in a rut of declining investment and high
unemployment. The remaining text is not included in this sample.
