AMERICAS
United States
U.S. economic growth accelerated in the second quarter as a pick-up in consumer spending offset the drag from soft business spending on equipment, suggesting a steady momentum that could bring the Federal Reserve closer to hiking interest rates this year.
Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.3% annual rate, the Commerce Department said recently. First-quarter GDP, previously reported to have shrunk at a 0.2% pace, was revised up to show it rising….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Canada
Canada’s economy sank further into contraction in May, shrinking for a fifth straight month as the oil shock takes its toll on the energy producing nation.
The five-month decline marks the longest slump since the 2008-2009 recession, and virtually guarantees output shrank for a second straight quarter. The reading vindicates Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz’s July 15 decision….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
ASIA
China
The latest growth numbers show that China's economy is trundling along, expanding at a pace that is slightly faster than analysts expected.
Gross domestic product expanded by 7% in the second quarter, compared to the same period last year, according to data released by China's National Bureau of Statistics. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
India
Maintaining a bullish stance on the Indian economy, Japanese brokerage Nomura projected an 8% GDP growth for the current fiscal year while retaining its Sensex target at 33,500 by December. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Indonesia
Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.67% in the second quarter of 2015, lower than 2014's second quarter figure of 5.03% and 4.72% growth in the first quarter of 2015, the country's statistics bureau said.
The Q2 GDP growth is its slowest since 2009 and Indonesia's economy grew 4.7% during the first half of 2015. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Malaysia
Standard Chartered Bank expects Malaysia’s economy to grow 4.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) for the second quarter of 2015 (2Q15), lower than the gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 5.6% in 1Q15, due to the impact of the goods and services tax that was implemented in April.
In a note, the bank said consumer and business sentiment had probably weakened in 2Q15 compared with the preceding quarter, but manufacturing and mining production were likely stronger in 2Q15 due to positive net external demand. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Singapore
Singapore's final second-quarter gross domestic product likely contracted 4.6% from the previous quarter on an annualized basis, in line with the government's earlier estimate, a Reuter’s poll showed.
The median forecast in a Reuter’s survey of 11 economists also showed that GDP probably expanded 1.5% in the April-June quarter from a year earlier, less than the 1.7% in the advance estimate. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Taiwan
Taiwan in the second quarter didn’t come close to reaching the government’s GDP growth forecast issued only in May, underscoring pressure from the easing expansion in mainland China’s economy and inventory build-up in the electronics industry.
Taiwan’s GDP rose by 0.64% in the three months to June, less than a projected increase of 3.05% issued in May, the Cabinet’s statistics office said. A 9.8% drop in exports in the second quarter dragged down GDP and manufacturing, the government said. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Czech Republic
The Czech National Bank (ČNB) improved its GDP growth estimate for this year to 3.8% from the previous 2.6% and downgraded its estimate for next year to 2.8% from May's 3.2%, according to a presentation ahead of the bank's press conference.
The ČNB expects lower inflation — 1.6% in Q3 next year and 1.8% in the last quarter of 2016, while its previous forecast put the values at 2% and 2.1%, respectively. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Russia
Sanctions linked to the Ukraine crisis could end up costing Russia 9% of its gross domestic product, the International Monetary Fund said recently. Russia's economy is showing signs of stabilization after slumping under pressure from Western financial sanctions and Russian counter-measures.
Low international prices for its oil exports have added to pressure on the ruble and government finances. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
United Kingdom
The British economy grew by 0.7% over the past three months, according to figures released by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR).
Figures from the London-based economic think-tank showed that growth in Britain's GDP in the three months ending in July was 0.7%, the same as in the three months ending in June. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
