Economic Review IMF Global Outlook 2005 • The global economy should continue to expand at a brisk pace in 2005, but has become too reliant on demand in the U.S. and is increasingly vulnerable to damage from high oil prices. • The global economic growth this year to be 4.3%, down from 5.1% in 2004. For 2006, the IMF predicted output would rise 4.4%. • Oil prices would average $46.50 a barrel for 2005, up 23.2% from the prior year, and $43.75 in 2006. • U.S. growth to 3.6% for both 2005 and 2006, an increase of 0.1 percentage point for both years. • Possibility of a jump in U.S. interest rates and a drop in U.S. consumption, sparked either by inflation fears or an abrupt reversal of foreign capital flows to the U.S. • The U.S. current account deficit - 5.7% of GDP in 2004 - probably won't improve much over the next couple of years, despite dollar depreciation.
Economic Review U.S. Last Two Week • The sudden shift in mood and economic outlook – the market is riskier than thought. • The Dow Jones Industrial Average last week recorded its steepest decline since 2003, dropping 3.6%. • Investors finally seem to believe that high crude oil and gasoline prices are curtailing consumer spending, slowing economic growth and cutting into corporate earnings. • Recent economic reports from the U.S. government portrayed sluggish job growth, weaker retail sales and a widening trade deficit only exacerbated by slowing American exports. • Fed policy makers at their last meeting talked of solid economic conditions and feared that overstimulated growth could stoke inflation. • The dollar rose in Europe as Asian stock markets slumped on signs of slower global growth.
