Global Economic Outlook 1st Quarter 2012
The first quarter edition of Deloitte Research’s Global Economic Outlook offers timely insights from Deloitte Research’s team of economists about the trends and events that are shaping the marketplace.
This issue begins with an exploration of public sector debt. The article claims that changing demographics, rather than a short-term decline in economic activity, is driving public indebtedness. The article goes on to outline the options available to policymakers trying to address this challenge and the consequences of allowing public debt to go unchecked. The issue also analyzes the global market for commodities. The ability to trade commodities through financial vehicles has increased price volatility, which influences both the short-term and long-term hedging strategies of global companies.
Additionally, this edition offers economic outlooks for the Eurozone, the United States, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, India, Russia, Brazil and Canada.
