New Mathematics of GDP... latest GDP trends

The year 2008 wasnt the fall of Roger Federer alone(never mind, i m sure he'll re gain number one slot, it ws just a bad year for him)... but the year led to the new mathematics in the GDP calculations too...

Lets see the new trends in GDP:

United States 

  • The US economy shrank in the third quarter, falling at an annual rate of 0.3 per cent, possibly indicating a recession has begun
  • Consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the economy, crashed to a 28-year low in the third quarter.
  • In United States and Japan, there is no scope for further reductions in policy rates. Fiscal policy and tax cuts may prove effective, says OECD.

United Kingdom

  • In Britain, there has been a fall of 0.5 per cent in the third quarter economic output.
  • The Economic growth in the UK is expected to slow to 0.9 per cent in 2008 and further shrink by 1 per cent in 2009.
  • The country is expected to be the worst hit in Europe. The European Commission has forecast that unemployment will rise from 5.3 per cent in 2007 to 7.1 per cent in 2009, taking the number of unemployed people to about 2.25 million.

Germany

  • German economy has fallen by 0.5 per cent in the third quarter of this year, its government figures said.
  • Second straight quarter of decline in Germany's economic size or Gross Domestic Product after a 0.4 per cent fall in the previous quarter. This is the worst fall Germany has seen in fice years.
  • In 2009, emerging market economies would be hit harder by the downturn in global trade and a reassessment of risk by foreign investors, the OECD report states.


France

  • France is also facing an economic slide. However, France's economy grew by a 0.14 per cent in the third quarter.
  • The economy is likely to fall as the crisis deteriorates further.
  • Unemployment is expected to rise to 7.4 percent by the end of the year, from 7.2 percent in the third quarter.


China 

  • China's economic growth rate slipped into single digit in the third quarter, the lowest in four years due to the global crisis and downturn in the realty sector.
  • The third quarter GDP has fallen to 9 per cent.
  • China has announced a 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) package to stimulate the economy.
  • The annual industrial output growth slowed to 8.2 per cent in October, the weakest since October 2001.

The Indian Economy is responding in the same fashion with new targets and lower expectations

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads. Hw do we ...

Pick out any news paper of today, i guess we have around 65000 newspapers that are registered.... The headline for today is Financial CRISIS... Our country is being affected by the global crisis, that have started from US's sub prime loan issues...  Well , its no surprise , if u look at the following few points.. you'll get an idea on the reasons: Most of our exports in the US, if they go down,we need to bear We have ample of foreign reserves in dollars, any change in their economy has a direct impact on ours.

Our Indian Stock market is very sensitive to information and sentiments, we are just followin the trend. The US is slowing down significantly and the US investors are at risk. That is something, which is a serious problem. If you look at market behavior, over the last 10-15 years, whenever the Fed cut rates, it has normally been goo...

Being there to somewhere.. Life Surprises(4)

PART 4 Related Parts:  PART 10   PART 9  PART 8  PART 7  PART 6   PART 5   PART 4   PART 3   PART 2   PART 1 With the post-graduation stepping into my life, the fear of being grown up kept rolling my mind. The exams and pattern of studies, although, had no fundamental change, but the pressure of higher studies had a superior space. Not that studies changed, neither were we getting scanned in the rule of autocratic professors, my mind had an urgency, an urge to just get into earning mode. The thought was to get whopping first salary of 2.26 lacs pm and do away with education loan :-) (Obviously Reliance Adag's campaign induced me to think bigger and better).
