OECD Interim Economic Assessment (September 9, 2010)

OECD: World Economic Recovery Slowing Amid Increased Uncertainty

The Organisation For Economic Co-Operation And Development issued an Interim Economic Assessment today. OECD Chief Economist and Deputy Secretary-General Pier Carlo Padoan stated regarding the world economic recovery, "The uncertainty is caused by a combination of both positive and negative factors, but it is unlikely that we are heading into another downturn.”

The Interim Economic Assessment states, "Recent high‐frequency indicators point to a slowdown in the pace of recovery of the world economy that is somewhat more pronounced than previously anticipated. Based on the most recent data, the OECD short-term forecasting models show that US GDP is expected to rise by 2.0% in the third quarter but then moderate to 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2010. In Japan, GDP growth is forecast at 0.7% in the fourth quarter after 0.6% in the third."

(OECD) The world economic recovery may be slowing faster than previously anticipated, according the OECD's latest Interim Economic Assessment.
