    World economy is walking a tightrope: Credit insurer Euler Hermes’ forecasts for economic growth, country risk and corporate insolvencies
    16.01.2012
    >
    2011 was by no means an easy year, between the Arab Spring, the Fukushima disaster, the sovereign debt crisis and hesitant governance in Europe. The fragile recovery experienced in the first half came to an abrupt halt in the second and growth in world trade was halved during the year. The deterioration is set to continue in 2012: world growth is not expected to exceed 2.7%, after 3% in 2011. Euler Hermes is forecasting sluggish growth in the first half, which could pick up in the second half with implementation of the announced parachute. Euro zone growth is forecast at 0.3% in 2012 while growth in emerging countries is expected to slow, down to 8.1% for China (from 9.2% in 2011) with growth of 3% for Brazil (as in 2011), for example. ...
