Expected Positive Recovery on World Economy, says IMF

On Tuesday, the comprehensive global economic growth is expected to remain this year until 2018, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). While the gains of most countries around the globe were able to countervail weak data from India, United Kingdom, and the United States.

The IMF revised higher its predictions for the current economic upswing by 0.1 percentage points, showing 3.6 percent increase and 3.7 percent for next year. The upgraded forecast was steered by the increase in consumer confidence, investment, and trades.

Moreover, projections for China, Japan, and the euro area, including emerging markets, Europe and Russia, also skyrocketed.

The economic development in the United States remained unchanged at 2.2 percent in 2017 and 2.3 percent next year based on Fund’s July statistics. The tax reduction imposed by Trump administration is still not accomplished, as expected.

As indicated in the Fund’s report for April, the 2017 growth outlook for the United States was trimmed by 0.1 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points in 2018, and suddenly raise in July with the same points.

The Republican party had laid out three tax proposals seeing that Trump governs since January and the administration's most recent action is stuck in a political dispute in Congress.

The Fund affirmed that America’s economy would slow down due to changing demographics and weak productivity development in the longer term. It further mentioned that the potential growth of the state will only be at 1.8 percent, which is lower than the government’s target at 3.0 percent.

Canada Ahead Against G7: IMF Economic Growth Estimate for 2017

The Canadian economic growth increased the estimated value until next year of the International Monetary Fund. It was placed in a higher ranking amongst developed countries.

The projected value of the country’s Gross Domestic Product for this year is 3.0 percent which is half a percent higher than the prediction in July. This makes Canada be on top of other advanced seven nations with the United States ranks at 2.2 percent growth since last year.

The figures from the IMF were similar to the quotation issued in the previous month by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and assumed that the country would lead the G7 countries for 2017.

It was said that the reason for an increase in growth was the drop in oil and gas prices and further supported by the government and the central bank policies. For next year, the Canada is anticipated to move at a slower rate with an estimated figure of 2.1 percent growth year-on-year in 2018. Yet, this is still higher than 0.2 percent than the IMF July update and second-highest among the G7 with the United States at 2.3 percent.

Japan’s LNG Infrastructure Offered to Asia

The government of Japan will disclose a public-private initiative amounting to $10 billion, its goal is to draw on the rapid expansion of liquefied natural gas infrastructure due to high consumption of fuel all through Asia.

The Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) and Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) will serve as agents in engaging Japanese firms to investment plans aiming to establish LNG infrastructure as power plants and offloading terminals.

The minister of economy, trade and industry, Hiroshige Sekō, is scheduled to unveil the project in Wednesday during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference. Leading officials such as the prime minister and cabinet members would likely be in the event, promoting relevant projects to different regions. Moreover, the plan is formed to improve the partnership between the United States and Japan. As shale gas production was withdrawn in the U.S which further caused an issue for finding buyers for the natural gas.

The arrangement between America and Asia to expand shale gas exports is anticipated to tackle at U.S.-Japan economic dialogue meeting on October 16 in Washington, hence the initiative is expected to achieve this goal.

The factor that confines growth of the LNG market is the agreements stating about the restricted reselling of fuel. Meanwhile, India and Japan are expected to sign an LNG cooperation on Wednesday making LNG supply contracts flexible.

Significant Impact of Reversing Brexit on the UK Economy is Possible

According to the world’s leading economic think-tank, the reversing Brexit is expected to cause a positive and significant impact towards the British economy, issuing an extreme warning on the possible consequences of EU exit.

Based on the report that highlighted the weak economic growth of UK since the referendum last year, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) warned of the possible risks in establishing an essential trade deal with the European Union.

The UK economy has the tendency to hinder its progress by a disorganized Brexit, in case of a failure of Brussels negotiations. This could further push the sterling pound lower resulting in a failing credit rating in the UK. Also, it underlined the uncertainty of Britain to break up whenever Northern Ireland and Scotland consider again their fate in the EU due to Brexit.

José Ángel Gurría, the OECD secretary general, advised that increasing inflation triggered by the sluggish pound would likely stall investments and expenditure. While the government should not create new barriers within EU and UK.

On the other hand, Chancellor Philip Hammond persisted that actions from the government relative to the referendum provided necessary confidence for businesses.

At the same time, British Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson addressed that the report caused vindication to the call of her party regarding a new referendum that offers an “exit from Brexit.”
While according to Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, the report depicted a “damning picture” about the economic management by the government coupled with the Brexit process.

Moreover, the most recent United Kingdom OECD Economic survey forecasted growth in the economy by 1% next year, this projection could get worse without free trade agreements. The EU exit exacerbates the demand to renew employment productivity growth, considering the statement from the OECD that it remained steady and failed to manage any meaningful contribution to British output since 2007. Hence, this is the weakest data outside South East England and Greater London.

The differences among regions and labourers could lead to a significant distinction between people with regards to profits and resources, work and income and skills and education.

ECB’s Asset Reduction of €40B Starting This October

On October 26, the European Central Bank is scheduled to reduce their monthly asset purchases to 40 billion euros from 60 billion euros as reported from the poll of Reuters. The results were divided on whether it will last for six or nine months following the program.

The E.U. is undergoing the “best” momentum in growth for a decade yet, the inflation is kept at 1.5 percent and it is still lower than the target of ECB at almost 2 percent. The anticipated figure is hoped to be maintained until at least 2019.

The central bank is put under pressure by some members of the ECB’s Governing Council to send some signal with the intention to take it easy and put an end to their quantitative easing program since the general economic situation in the eurozone has already improved.

Moreover, a more impactful action of the ECB is putting a limit on the amount of debt which is about to be attained by the central bank despite more than two years of purchases worth greater than 2 trillion euros consisting mainly of government bonds. The set limit on the allowed debt is permitted in some countries. This implies that the central bank would not augment the guideline and does not have much of a choice but to trim its purchases and strive to oversee the objective as much as possible.

The chief economist of ING described the October meeting to be one of the “greatest balancing act” since. The ECB needs to cut its bond purchases as a solution to the shortage problem but at the same time, they have to maintain a loose inflation target. Moreover, he said that they have to make an effort in publishing the report and to prevent from the misconception of being overly hawkish which makes easing a problem in this stance.

A survey in a much larger stand including more than 100 economists last October 11 to 17 has indicated growth in comparison to the former polls. Although, it has been forecasted that the eurozone growth will be sluggish next year and keep the inflation forecasts the same or lowered.
A total of 45 economists mentioned as an additional question on its most recent poll saying that the ECB will push through the reduction program in the October meeting. The target amount of reduction for January is assumed to be at a bigger value ranging from 5 billion euros to 40 billion. The median was lessened up to 20 billion euros.
Forecasts

The predicted growth for the eurozone economy is 0.5 percent in the previous quarter similar to the present whilst there was 0.6 percent in the second quarter. Overall, the Average whole year growth was predicted to be at 2.2 percent for this year from 2.1 percent forecast in September.
On the other hand. the predicted inflation rate was an average of 1.5 percent for the year and 1.4 percent the year after which has been kept the same from the survey in the previous month.

As for the forecasts for big countries, they were all revised higher according to the most recent survey. The biggest economy in Europe, Germany, is anticipated to grow 2.1 percent this year and 1.9 percent the following year. This was revised up compared to the July poll estimates of 1.8 percent in 2017 and 1.7 percent and 2018. Moving to France, the prediction was also revised from the previous one with an average forecast of 1.7 percent until 2018. Nevertheless, this is still on the track of Macron’s government projections.

The current Money Fall contest has already started on October 23, 2017 and will end on October 27, 2017.
