When and How will the Global Economy Recover ? Philip Suttle IIF, Director of Global Macroeconomic Analysis Garanti Masters Private Banking Conference Istanbul, Turkey April 17, 2009
An Organizing Framework • A different kind of global business cycle, driven by private credit, not public (monetary and fiscal) policy • The private credit cycle is global in nature, albeit with some sector, country and regional concentration • The downleg of this cycle (“the de-leveraging phase”) has come in two parts: the “strains” phase (early 2007 – Sept 2008) and the “crisis” phase (Sept 2008 – Mar 2009) • The best way to characterize our global outlook is that we are projecting a return to conditions more consistent with the “strains” phase in the months ahead
Global Capital Flows and the Global Business Cycle percent percent change oya, inverted scale

The De-Leveraging Phase Has Had Two Phases The “Strains” Phase (2007 - Sep. 2008) • Collapse of asset-backed securities market; re-intermediation of credit on to banks’ balance sheet • Slowing in U.S. growth to near-recession levels • Solid growth in other key parts of global economy (“decoupling”) • High and rising commodity prices • Increasingly supportive G7 policy stance The “Crisis” Phase (Sep. 2008 - March 2009) • Unprecedented turmoil in financial markets, break down of trust • Collapse in global industry, world trade and commodity prices • Widespread global recession • Plunge in operating levels and rise in unemployment • Policy has become very supportive and highly innovative

Concluding Messages • The global economy has been in free-fall for six months, but there are some tentative signs that this is moderating. • In the months ahead, a return to a desynchronized global economy is likely. • A significant increase in global unemployment is now underway, however. • Massive, unprecedented, global policy easing is now underway, the long-term implications of which are somewhat unclear. • Major challenges lie ahead in Europe. • The global backdrop for Asia and Latin America remains very tough, but has improved slightly in the past few months.
