Europe is divided between those who see their economy as “strong”, and those who do not, with Britain firmly in the latter camp. The latest Ipsos Global @dvisor released by Ipsos MORI finds Germans are around 5 times more positive about their economy than we Britons are about ours.

The Economic Pulse
3. Analytic Components…
There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report.
Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with:
The currently perceived macroeconomic state of
the respondent’s country:
• Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current
economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat
bad or very bad?
The currently perceived state of the local economy:
• Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7,
where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.
A six month outlook for the local economy:
• Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local
area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or
much weaker than it is now?

5. A Glimmer of Hope: Life Begins to Stir in the US
Is the engine of the US economy restarting? National economic confidence assessments
have been on a steady incline in the United States since 2011 and now sit at 31% who
say the state of their national economy is “good”. This rating sits ten points higher than one
year ago (21%) and twenty points higher than November 2008 (11%). This movement is
mirrored in assessments of the local economy (25%), reflecting a rocky but distinctly upward
trend since Oct 2011 (16%).

6. A Glimmer of Hope: Life Begins to Stir in the US
We see this increase in confidence reflected in American comfort level to buy big ticket items.
The story appears to mirror lagging indicators which have just been released on the American
economy. For example, the US Department of Commerce reported that American builders
began work on homes in December 2012 as a faster rate than in the past four and a half years.
They started working on 780,000 homes last year, making 2012 the best year for residential
building construction since the start of the housing crisis. While this figure still represents only
half of the proportion expected in stronger markets, it has increased 28.1% since 2011.
This progress is encouraging. Whether there are new homes as a result of new demand or
simply a replenishing of housing as a result of devastating natural disasters – in part, supported
financially by Congress – the effect may be the same; to get people working and spending. The
question is whether this is now the beginning of a recovery that will sustain itself for the next
year and prove to be a meaningful change in American consumer confidence and the economy
on the whole. Given the hesitant, but positive, improvements that have been seen by consumer
economic confidence in the United States in the past year and last few months, the US would
appear to be on a trajectory towards stable economic confidence.
Compared to 6 months ago, are you NOW more or less comfortable making a major
purchase, like a home or car?

8. Global Economy on the Rebound?
The negativity that characterized economic assessments of the last quarter of 2012 seems to
have reached a halt as we start off 2013. The global aggregate of 24 countries might finally be
on the uptick as 36% of global citizens agree their current national economic situation is
“good”, a one-point improvement since last sounding.
Hidden in the narrative of the global aggregate lies a mixed bag of regional stories. Coming out
of 2012, the real winner is North America (49%). 2011 was unsettling and unstable for the
region, in particular due to a downward shift seen in the second half of the year. In 2012,
however, the region’s assessments have been primarily on the upswing, despite the occasional
short-lived dip. This shift is driven, as previously mentioned, by significant positive trends in
American national sentiment. In the United States, 31% of respondents report their economy is
“good”, a full ten points above where it was a year ago (21% in December 2011). Canada’s
strong, stable economic confidence ratings (66% this wave) consistently pull up the regional
average.
North American sentiment has closed the gap between its ratings and the top geographic
region (now only one point apart), yet the Middle East and Africa closes 2012 on top with
fully 50% rating their national economies to be good. It manages to maintain its top spot
year after year, even despite a serious dip in confidence after August 2012. It ended the year off
with a slight upturn in sentiment. The ratings in the Middle East and African region are weighted
down by severely declining ratings in South Africa (22%, down 20 points since the start of
2012). Less negative results have been seen in Turkey (47%) and, of course, the strength of
the region is driven by consistent world-leader Saudi Arabia (82%).

The Economic Pulse
9. On the other end, Europe continues to relentlessly drag down the global average. Since
2010, it has sat at the bottom of the ranking by a wide margin. Then this past quarter the
ratings have worsened again, ending at 21% this sounding, the lowest it has been since the
start of fielding. Germany (63%) and Sweden (57%) sit as the outliers, while the rest of the
countries fall at 21% (Belgium) or below. Of particular concern is Great Britain. Sitting at 13%,
the national sentiment line suggested a hint of an upswing at the end of 2012 but rounded off
with a four-point dip since last sounding.
In Latin America, the first half of 2012 marked a worsening trend follow by an inconsistent
second half of the year. The final 2012 result in Latin America is a regional aggregate of
42%, one point stronger than last sounding. Brazil (55%) and Argentina (37%) both reflect
improvements this sounding while Mexico, which has been on a general incline throughout
2012, reflects a decline.
The ratings in Asia-Pacific (42%) are now on the uptick after a stabilization of the
descending nature of the assessment in the first half of 2012. The regional sentiment’s
behaviours are characterized by the fact that it is comprised of seven countries that provide
quite different economic assessments. The region is led by India (68%), Australia (63%) and
China (63%) at the top, Indonesia (50%) and Russia (26%) in a widely-separated middle, and
South Korea (15%) and Japan (6%) at the bottom.

10. Global Average of National Economic Assessment (36%)
Up One Point
After a four-month decline, the average global economic assessment of national
economies surveyed in 24 countries takes a turn for the better this month as
36% of global citizens rate their national economies to be ‘good.”
A substantial margin continues to exist at the top of the global ratings between global
leader Saudi Arabia (82%) and runners-up India (68%), Canada (66%), China (64%),
Australia (63%) and Germany (63%). Only a handful of those in Spain (2%) rate their
national economies as ‘good’, followed by Hungary (5%), Italy (5%), Japan (6%) and
France (7%).
Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: India (68%, 8pts), Belgium
(21%, 6pts), Brazil (55%, 4pts), Argentina (37%, 4pts), United States (31%, 3pts) and
Saudi Arabia (82%, 3pts).
Countries with the greatest declines: Sweden (57%, -12pts), Great Britain (13%, -
4pts), Mexico (35%, -4pts), Russia (26%, -3pts) and Indonesia (50%, -2pts).

11. Global Average of Local Economic Assessment (26%)
Down One Point
When asked to asses their local economies, three in ten (26%) agree the state of
the current economy in their local area is ‘good’ on the global aggregate level.
This is down one point since last sounding.
The top countries ranking on this measure report about half of their national
populations assessing their local areas as “good”: Saudi Arabia (54%), China (47%),
Sweden (47%), India (45%), Brazil (44%) and Germany (44%).
Fistfuls in Japan (5%), Spain (5%), Hungary (7%), Italy (8%), France (12%) and
Belgium (13%) rate their local areas as “good”.
Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: Brazil (44%, +6pts), Argentina
(23%, +3pts), United States (25%, +3pts) and Australia (42%, +2pts).
Countries with the greatest declines: China (47%, -7pts), Sweden (47%, -4pts), Great
Britain (14%, -3pts), Mexico (24%, -3pts), Russia (16%, -2pts) and Italy (8%, -2pts).

12. Global Average of Future Outlook for Local Economy
Unchanged: 23%
One quarter (23%) expect that their local economy will be stronger six months
from now, consistent with last month’s sounding.
A strong majority of Brazilians (73%) continue to indicate they predict their local
economies will be stronger in the next six months. A gap persists in between Brazilian
ratings and the rest of the highest-ranking countries: India (53%), Saudi Arabia (48%),
Argentina (42%), Indonesia (39%) and Mexico (38%).
Small minorities in France (3%), Belgium (5%), Hungary (5%), Great Britain (8%),
Japan (8%) and Spain (9%) expect their future local economies will be “stronger”
Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: South Africa (14%, +4pts),
India (53%, +3pts), Indonesia (39%, +3pts), Canada (18%, +3pts) and South Korea
(15%, +3pts).
Countries with the greatest declines: China (35%, -10pts), United States (24%, -5pts),
Great Britain (8%, -4pts), Sweden (10%, -2pts), Spain (9%, -2pts) and Mexico (38%, -
