“The outlook is balanced between economic fragilities — with slowing growth in Asia, subpar recovery in the US and widespread recessions plus periphery strains in Europe — coupled with a new wave of central bank stimulus (monetary policy, credit easing and extra liquidity) across all major economic regions.,” wrote Citi Chief Economist Willem Buiter. “We are leaving our 2012 global growth forecast (at current exchange rates) at 2.5%, while cutting our 2013 forecast to 2.6% from 2.8% last month. Within that, we are making notable cuts to our growth forecasts for China and Japan, plus more modest forecast downgrades to a range of emerging markets, especially in Asia plus Central and Eastern Europe.”
Buiter’s team breaks down what’s going on in each economy. We pulled the highlights.

Notice how the current year is always a muted GDP number, but somehow in the following years it unexpectedly rises for no apparent reason?
These fools have been saying this for 4 years now, every year they anticipate a better year ahead and every year they have to backtrack on their analysis.
Totally, a 5 yr old may have a better chance of getting it right by bashing out numbers on a calculator. The jumps are based on hope and with the aim to settle some nerves, which it will, until the people who still refuse to see the path we are hurtling down wake up one morning and realise that their whole life is a con, a lie and basically a sham.
