During the months following the global recession, many economists (including ones from this organisation) discussed the possibility of a double dip recession. Between the European debt crisis and the US’s high unemployment rate, it seemed likely that the global economy would slip back into recession territory. However, with the exception of the US, recent global economic performance has been better than expected. Fiscal and monetary policy in most countries remains supportive of growth and although another global slowdown looks inevitable, a relapse into recession is unlikely. The Economist Intelligence Unit explains the likelihood of a double dip recesssion in this presentation.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Yen 15-year high Oil slipping
- Have downgraded US growth forecast for 2011—well below consensus for 2011 is 2.7%, we have 1.5% Also more pessimistic than the Fed The FOMC suggested that it had reduced its growth projections, but it still expected resource utilisation to rise, implying that GDP growth would be maintained above the 2.5 per cent trend into 2011. Unrealistic The Fed surveys suggest that the ISM survey may drop quite sharply when it is published on 1 September, perhaps to somewhere in the low 50s, compared with recent healthy readings of around 55 Companies sitting on a lot of cash—not cash constrained—rather than spending it If animal spirits change, companies become more confident, they can quickly start driving recovery by investing
- Policy is backstopping the global economy QE impact felt in keeping many stress indicators down Not healthy, but relatively stable
- Savings rate was revised up in the latest data revision Better reflects what we think is going on—we assume around 5-6% going forward—similar to where it was in the 1980s and 1990s 1988 there were 8,000 pawn shops, now there are 15,000 serving 30m customers
- A long way to go—probably needs to go back below 100%
- So, does the growth baton pass to Europe? Is Germany now the growth power house? Germany leveraged on global growth—so no
- Downgrade to Ireland Greece will probably be defaulting in 2012 Low growth, deflationary pressures Germany doing well, but Q2 will be a peak—exports account for 40% of economy, country highly geared to global growth Longer term face significant demographic challenges Funding gap Contingent liabilities hitting Ireland—not public finances so much (BBB rated by us—AA minus by S+P
- Markets pointing to deflation and debt and slow growth Japanese, German and UK govt paper also trading very low
- Private-sector needs to create 150,000 jobs a month to keep up with population growth At current rate of progress it will take 7 years to recoup the 7.5m jobs lost since the crisis started Worrying increase in long-term unemployed Over past three months 1m people have joined ranks of those who have given up the hunt for jobs Some of these are the 99ers—those that have received benefits for 99 weeks but now longer qualify As of Q2 2010, 7m were unemployed for 27 weeks or more—45% of all unemployed. Compares with 4m and 30% of total in Q2 2009 If you include those wanting to work full time but who can’t, unemployment is over 15%
- A jobless recovery—after each recession the bounceback takes longer Didn’t include 2001—we barely noticed it Who benefits from globalisation This crisis is partly one of globalisation—US needs to create far more mobile, high-tech workforce; more jobs will be sucked out Unemployed workers will be We reckons that unemployment will remain elevated at around 9% this year and next
- Total consumer debt down by nearly $900m between peak in 2008 Q3 and 2010 Q2 Home ownership rate declining—66.9% in Q2 this year, down from peak of nearly 70%. Takes us roughly back to 2002 levels
- Shadow inventory on bank books Despite adjustment, prices still high One of the Gateway Cities, Nr LA Dr Housing Bubble reckons LA real estate prices are overvalued by 30% after adjusting for inflation
- Fiscal spending did have an impact—CBO reckons spending raised GDP by 1.7%-4.5%, increased the no of people employed by 1.4m-3.3m compared with what would have occurred otherwise. Directly funded stimulus jobs around 750,000 in Q2 Poorly targeted fiscal policy—spending money not always positive for economy Washington Post As of June 30 th Washington City had spent $373K of $22m fiscal stimulus in TV ads and billboards promoting new tax on plastic bags Tax highly regressive Cash for clunkers. Housing tax break—massive misallocation of taxpayers funds Great Depression, Fed feared inflation so allowed money stock to fall steeply Japan did it in 1990s—Japanese economy in nominal terms now the same size as it was in 1993 Inflation fears misplaced=does not recognise that money multiplier is dropping Need more QE soon? Bernanke speech at Jackson Hole on Friday may give pointers—sustained return to 2.5% trend growth looks implausible over the next year or so
- Jobs market
- We are experiencing a natural pause in the recovery But the downside risks are rising To think about This is a transition period—end of the post-world war 2 settlement Who gains from globalisation? Western consumers must face
