The world economy

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  26 March 2020

Abstract

• Global growth prospects remain robust, with world GDP rising by 4.3 per cent in 2005 and 4.2 percent in 2006.

• We now expect oil prices to stay at around $48 a barrel for the rest of the decade, which will dampen global output growth.

• The burgeoning US current account deficit is increasing the risk of a further downward lurch in the dollar.

• Inflation in the US will accelerate to 3.8 per cent in 2006.

• Growth in the Euro Area will slow to 1.6 per cent in 2005.

• Japan will grow by only 0.9 per cent in 2005.
