AMERICAS

Brazil

Market forecasts for Brazil's economic growth and inflation worsened for an eighth straight week, according to a central bank survey.

The median forecast of about 100 economists in the weekly central bank survey projected Brazil's economy to shrink 0.5% this year, down from a contraction of 0.42% in the prior week's poll. Annual inflation is set to end 2015 at 7.33%, up from 7.27% in the prior survey.   (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

ASIA

Japan

Japan’s economy pulled out of recession more slowly than expected last quarter, with soft spending by businesses and consumers underscoring the challenges facing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he tries to steer the nation to a robust recovery.

The worst is likely over for Japan in the near term, economists said recently, but Mr. Abe still faces a difficult balancing act as he tries to get prices and wages to rise at the same time. Growth last quarter was driven by exports, while sustainable expansion depends on instilling confidence in consumers who account for around 60% of the economy, and whose wages have been rising more slowly than prices for more than a year.

“I was surprised by how weak household spending was,” said Shotaro Kuga, an economist at Daiwa Institute of Research, said of the fourth quarter results. “The economy is recovering—it’s just the pace of the recovery is less than forecast.”   (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

Russia

Russia’s economy minister said that the country’s gross domestic product is expected to shrink by 3% in 2015 with oil prices at $50 a barrel and an estimated capital outflow at $115 billion, Russian news agencies reported.

The government previously predicted the decrease in GDP at 0.8%. Inflation in 2015 is now forecast to stand at 12%, up from the previous estimate of 7.5%, Alexei Ulyukayev said, Russian news agencies reported.

The announcement comes a day after the Russian central bank unexpectedly lowered its key interest rate by two percentage points, sending the ruble lower. Russia was also recently downgraded to “junk” level, below investment-grade, by the credit rating company Standard & Poor’s amid the mounting violence in eastern Ukraine. .”   (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
