1、 Global Research Global Economic Perspectives Global Economic Outlook 2019-2020 The end of “l(fā)ow for longer“ The aggregate global output gap closed in Q2 this year, median unemployment is at the lowest level since 19

2、80, wage pressures in many developed markets are approaching post- GFC highs (and in Japan at two-decade highs), labour shortages in several European countries with high unemployment seem as acute as in Germany (3½

3、% unemployment), and 72% of countries already have headline inflation running above the central bank's target—a share greater than during the 2003-2007 boom years. Economically, the global economy does not look li

4、ke a patient in need of more monetary life support. But the evidence of being “l(fā)ate cycle“ is at best mixed We assessed 120 prior “l(fā)ate cycle“ episodes for 40 countries, and found that on several dimensions the behavi

5、our of the data over the last four quarters in the US, Eurozone and Japan is completely incongruous with any of the recessions that took place since 1980. Employment growth in Japan, house price and productivity growth

6、 in the US, core inflation in Europe, and various aspects of consumption and investment behaviour are not consistent with being near a business cycle peak. The central banks are thus understandably cautious. Despite c

7、ore inflation in DM expected to be back above 2% by end 2019, on par with pre- crisis levels, central banks are expected to lift their policy rates to only half of 2008/2009 levels by end 2020 and still be below neutral

8、. And our now-casting models suggest the global economy is skidding We launch our global now-cast in this report and show how the deterioration in global 'hard' and 'soft' data is the most severe since

9、 the Eurozone crisis. We view the softness as transitory and we project consumption and investment to re-accelerate in 2020. But the knock to confidence this year is notable: 'survey' implied growth globally ha

13、#39;ve raised potential growth to 2¼% in 2020 and believe the Fed, after a pause, resumes hiking in 2021. What can go right? The biggest upside risks to our forecast are (i) trade tensions de-escalating; (ii) tra

14、de diversion effects being stronger than we think (we show for several Asian economies how market share gains could outweigh value chain disruption); and (iii) the US growth acceleration being more structural. What c

15、an go wrong? The biggest downside risks are (i) central banks falling behind the curve if inflation surprises to the upside (on just a 50bp deviation from our inflation baseline we would see policy rates 70bp higher i
