THE OECD Composite
leading indicators released for this quarter indicates that loss of momentum is
likely to keep on in the coming quarters in most major OECD and non OECD
economies truly pointing out a trivial moderate growth overall.
In Italy,
China, India and Russia CLI’s continue to point to a slowdown. For the
Euro Area, France, and Germany
the CLIs point to continued weak growth.
The CLIs for Japan (-0.03) and
the United States (0.66) show signs of moderating growth above
trend, while in Canada (-0.58) the CLI continues to point to
growth moderating below trend.
The CLIs for the United Kingdom
(-0.47) and Brazil (0.11) tentatively point to a
pick-up in growth, but remain below trend.
The OECD Development Centre's
Asian Business Cycle Indicators (ABCIs) reveals that ASEAN economies show
overall resilience, though some signs of weakening are observed.
