Economic Outlook Monthly Overview – October 2014
Europe:
•Consensus October GDP forecast for WE came down again by 0,1%point to 1,3% for 2014 and to 1,5% for 2015.
•The EU industrial confidence and the consumer confidence both continued to fall in September.
•The IFO Business Climate index for Germany again fell in September. The German economy is no longer running smoothly.
•Concerns over industry and deflation – and, therefore, the possibility of recession – mark this month’s outlook. The ECB plans to buy private sector assets in order to stipulate lending, but more action is needed, if prices continue to fall.
US:
•Consensus October GDP forecast for the US improved slightly to 2,2% for 2014 and remained on 3,1% for 2015.
•While Q2 GDP was upgraded again to now +4,6% q-o-q from previous releases and personal consumption remained on an acceptable 2,5% pace, outlook over 2014 remains uncertain, especially as the US brace for the normalization of monetary policy.
Japan:
•The October GDP growth forecast for Japan came down from 1,2% to 1,1% for 2014 and from 1,3% to 1,2% for 2015.
•Japan is still working through the impact of April’s consumption tax hike, which impacted sharply on Q2 GDP. Activity collapsed by a sharper than expected annualized 7,1%. Since then, there have been hopes that the economy would get back on track. However, Q3 has been mixed at best and GDP forecasts slipped again.
