Global economics: growth shock
Article Abstract:
UBS sees global economic growth as likely to increase, and liquidity and monetary growth have already risen. Japanese growth prospects may have been underestimated, and global markets could be affected by a sluggish flow of capital from Japan. Major Asian and Latin American economies look set to see improvements, and conditions should also be easier for China in 1996 to 1997. Interest rates appear to be bottoming out. The US dollar is likely to see a further rise, though prospects are negative for the longer term.

Global economics: divided views
Article Abstract:
World economic growth could continue to slow in 1996, according to Kleinwort Benson. Bond yields are falling globally. The US economy has not resumed growth, while European growth has decelerated. Unemployment is rising in Germany and investment intentions are down. The German mark has risen in relation to the Japanese yen, which affects German sales in Asian markets. Germany is likely to reduce interest rates, partly to ease pressure from a rise in the value of the mark.
