- Title
AT A GLANCE….
- Abstract
The article presents a global economic overview for 2008. It predicts that the world gross domestic product (GDP) growth will slow down which is largely attributed to the rise of inflation in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries wherein it increases from 1.9% in 2007 to 2.5% in 2008. Eventhough the U.S. Federal Reserve has slashed its main policy rate, worries about inflation are holding back interest rate cuts in the European Area. It is foretold that growth in East Asia is expected to drop only a little in 2008 while the GDP growth in the European Area will slow down from 2.7% in 2007 to 1.9% in 2008.
