Global Economy Is Finally Stabilizing Following The Global Financial Crisis And Great Recession

Looking back over the past ten years and most especially the past three years for investment returns and economic possibilities, there seems to be more growth in the past 24 months than what we have seen in over a decade. The rapidly changing international economic climate and the current government struggles with tax based polices and the continued climbing US

Commodities account for 57% of the value of total exports, so that a downturn in world commodity prices can have a big impact on the economy. The government is pushing for increased exports

The health of the current U.S. economy appears to be growing gradually. The second quarter real GDP growth was 3.7% and the unemployment rate declined to 5.3%. The U.S Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to raise interest rates in the near future when it sees clear signs of strong economic growth and improvements in the job market.

Oil price increases can also stifle the growth of the economy through their effect on the supply and

The global GDP is expected to grow 3.2% in 2011. The financial crisis is no longer setting the pace for developing countries. (The World Bank Group, 2011) Developing countries are close to having regained full-capacity levels. The global crisis is slowly coming to an end. (The World Bank Group, 2011)There are many factors still playing a role in countries such as Japan with the tsunami. (The World Bank Group, 2011) However, it appears the global economy is on a upward slope.

My prediction is that GDP will increase steadily in the future. According to econedlink.org, a nation’s maximum or potential GDP or its potential output is the highest level of output that can be maintained over the long term, given any constraints on the nation’s productive resources. And a limit supply of labor, natural resource, service and capital will result in the limit of potential output, which means, the limit of GDP (2015, econedlink). Besides, according to our textbook, the determinants of economic growth to which we can attribute changes in growth rates include four supply factors: changes in the quantity and quality of natural resources, changes in the quantity and quality of human resources, changes in the stock of capital goods, and improvements in technology (2015, McConnell)

The United States is the leading economy across the globe and experienced several tribulations in the recent past following the 2008 global recession. Despite these recent challenges, there are expectations among policymakers and financial experts that the country will experience solid economic growth. Actually, financial analysts have stated that the U.S. economy will be characterized by increased consumer spending, increased investments by businesses, reduced rate of unemployment, and reduction in government cut. Some analysts have also stated that the country’s economy will strengthen in 2014 with an average of 2.7 percent or more. However, these predictions can only be understood through an analysis of the current macroeconomic

8.1 In Europe, there is a strong growth for mature region. Also, in 2015, there is a continued growth in The Americas. In addition, there are uneven results across destinations in Asia as well, besides Pacific. In terms of Africa, it is gradually returning to growth. As for Middle East, the recovery is being

• As previously stated in the executive summary, the United States’ economy is currently stagnating. From week to week we may see a rise in one indicator while there is a fall in another indicator, but none of the rises or falls are drastic enough to have an overwhelming impact on the economy as a whole. Although the economy is not near as strong as it was before the 2008-2009 recession, arguably one of the biggest economic crises of the past decade, there has been much growth and strength throughout the past few years with this year being the first year in which the economy is in somewhat of a holding pattern. I believe, that even with the little growth and movement of the United States economy over the past year, it is still perhaps one of the strongest economies in the world at the moment.

Global growth is an increase in the amount of goods and services produced per head. The graph shows that there is a clear correlation between global economic growth and international trade. Up until 1990 to 2008 both global economic growth and international trade steadily increased. However in 2008 when there was a global recession world exports where 16000bn which surpassed world GDP which was 70,000bn. After 2008 both world exports and world GDP fluctuated, in 2010 world exports decreased however it slowly increased to exceed world GDP. Currently both are at the same point on the graph with world exports at 19000bn and world GDP at 80,000. Therefore the graph demonstrates a clear causal link between global growth and global

In general, the global economic outlook remains weakness in 2015. The growth in emerging market and developing economies is still more than 70% of the global growth, but it declined for the fifth consecutive year, whereas, the developed economics continue a moderate recovery.

The forecast for US GDP for the next five years is positive with an average rate of 1.94 percent. From 2016 to 2020, the growth of US GDP as per the forecast will be 2 in 2016, 1.8 in 2017, 1.9 in 2018, 2 in 2019 and 2 percent in 2020 respectively (United States | Economic Forecasts | 2016-2020 Outlook). According to the actual or aggregate forecast for the next five years, US GDP will be $ 18,295 billion in the year 2020. Therefore, the trend is positive, and US GDP will continue to rise gradually.

International trade and subdued investment combined conspired to the slowest world growth since 2009. World bank economic growth is expected to rise to 2.7% in 2017 from 2.3% last year. Throughout Europe and Japan, monetary support and fiscal policies should help support economy activity this year. In China, growth is projected around 6.5% which reflects certain factors like uncertainty about global trade, and private investments. China accounts for about one-tenth of all global imports and exports, and roughly one fifth of investment accounts but has slowed from 21% to 10% in the last few years. With the recovery in certain commodity prices, like oil, the divergence is expected to narrow heavily. The environment the world is in right is a difficult one, negative interest rates constrict monetary policies and may warrant more fiscal policies. What needs to be done is to initiate more useful policies to include human capital, investment, global technology transfer, and heavily promoting trade in order to obtain at least some level of positive
