3. The OECD cut forecasts again for the global economy in 2019
and 2020, following on
from previous downgrades in November, as it warned that trade
disputes and uncertainty
over Brexit would hit world commerce and businesses. The
Organization for Economic CoOperation & Development forecast in its interim
outlook report that the world economy
would grow 3.3 percent in 2019 and 3.4 percent in 2020.
Those forecasts represented cuts of 0.2 percentage points for
2019 and 0.1 percentage points
for 2020, compared to the OECD’s last set of forecasts in
November. “High policy
uncertainty, ongoing trade tensions, and a further erosion of
business and consumer
confidence are all contributing to the slowdown,” said the OECD
in its report. “Substantial
policy uncertainty remains in Europe, including over Brexit. A
disorderly exit would raise
the costs for European economies substantially,” added the OECD.
Europe remains impacted by uncertainty over Britain’s plans to
exit the European Union,
the U.S. - China trade spat and other weak spots, such as signs
of a recession in Italy. For
Germany, Europe’s largest economy, the OECD more than halved its
2019 GDP growth
forecast to 0.7 percent from 1.6 percent previously. It
predicted a light recovery to 1.1
percent growth in 2020. Germany’s export-reliant economy is
particularly affected by
weaker global demand and rising trade barriers.
