Spanish Economy Recovers In Q3


Spain's economy returned to growth in the third quarter, after staying mired in a recession for more than two year, preliminary data from the statistical office INE showed Wednesday.



Gross domestic product expanded 0.1 percent during the quarter ended September, reversing the 0.1 percent sequential drop in the previous period.



On a yearly basis, the economy remained in negative territory due to the weakness in domestic demand, but the rate of contraction slowed in the third quarter. GDP was down 1.2 percent annually, following last quarter's 1.6 percent decline.



Both quarterly and annual figures matched the flash estimate released by the Bank of Spain on October 23.

BoE's Fisher Says British Economy Remains Weak, Downplays Bullish Outlook


UK's economy remains vulnerable to risks despite recent economic data indicating a strong pick up in activity, Bank of England policymaker Paul Fisher said Wednesday. He cautioned that growth will likely remain weak in the near term and the economy will take a longer time to recover than the United States.



Dismissing the recent positive economic data as insignificant, BoE's head of markets noted that it is imperative to keep monetary policy loose for a long period to achieve growth that is in line with trend.



Fisher said that the macroeconomic outlook in the U.K. is not as good as in the U.S, where inventors had belatedly realized that a recovery is possible.



Addressing a gathering of business persons, Fisher said that house prices in the U.K. are too high and urged lenders to pass on their lower funding costs on to clients. Terming the government's Funding for Lending scheme a success, he called for actions conducive to increase the number of transactions in order to raise demand.



In an interview given to The Times earlier the policymaker reserved his comment on his stance on BoE governor Mervyn King's proposal to split the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) into a "good" bank and a "bad" bank. He said that it is possible to privatize the RBS if a two-year program is prepared for the same.

IMF Urges Pakistan To Take Steps To Stabilize Economy


Officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) who visited Pakistan last week have asked the government to take steps to stabilize the ailing economy.



The lender said it has not received any official request from the Asian country, which faces a serious balance of payment crisis, for financial aid.



"Pakistan faces difficult economic challenges and we urge the authorities to begin taking the necessary actions to stabilize the economy and lay the groundwork for future growth," IMF Pakistan Mission Chief Jeffrey Franks said.



Pakistan has been expected to seek a rescue package from the IMF after its currency depreciated significantly and foreign exchange reserves plunged.



An aid program valued $11.3 billion was offered by the IMF in 2008 to ease Pakistan's balance of payment crisis, which lapsed in 2011 after the government failed to implement certain fiscal reforms.

Spanish Unemployment Rate Hits Record High Of 26.02%


Spain's jobless rate increased to a record high in the fourth quarter, leaving nearly six million people unemployed as the government engaged in sharp spending cuts after the economy plunged deeper into recession, latest data showed on Thursday.



The unemployment rate increased to 26.02 percent in the fourth quarter from 25.01 percent in the preceding three months, statistical office INE said. The rate was almost in line with the consensus forecast for 26 percent.



The latest figure is the highest in the history of modern Spain, after the death of the dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. The current government led by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy came to power late 2011.



The jobless rate among those under the age of 25 years also jumped to a record 55.13 percent in the fourth quarter from 52.34 percent in the previous three months. A year ago, the figure was 48.56 percent.



There were around 5.97 million unemployed persons in the country at the end of 2012, higher by 187,300 compared to the third quarter. From the fourth quarter of 2011, the number of jobless persons increased by 13.12 percent.



Meanwhile, the number of employed persons decreased 2.1 percent sequentially to 16.96 million in the three months ended December. Year-on-year, employment dropped by 4.78 percent.



The Spanish economy deteriorated severely in recent times after the country's once-booming real estate sector bust in 2008, leaving millions of workers out of labor.



Data from the government this week showed residential property prices fell 10 percent in the fourth quarter compared to last year. Separate data showed the home sales in Spain decreased at a marked annual rate of 6.1 percent in November.



In its latest quarterly bulletin, released yesterday, the Bank of Spain said Spain's recession likely deepened in the fourth quarter, with gross domestic product (GDP) falling for the fifth consecutive quarter.



According to the bank, GDP is estimated to have dropped at a faster rate of 0.6 percent sequentially in the fourth quarter than 0.3 percent in the third quarter, signaling a worsening of the ongoing recession.



Year-on-year, the economy contracted 1.7 percent during in the fourth quarter, after shrinking 1.6 percent in the third quarter. In the whole of 2012, GDP has declined 1.3 percent.



The Spanish economy may stop contracting in the second half of this year, but the balance of risks seems tilted towards a more protracted recession and a real return to growth may have to wait until next year, ING Bank economist Martin van Vliet said yesterday.



"The recent fall in Spanish government bond yields has been impressive," the economist noted. "But it has not yet been accompanied by meaningful signs of improvement in Spain's real economy."

Ireland To Record Stronger Growth This Year: IBEC


The Irish economy has stabilized in the second half of last year and is set to grow at a faster pace in 2013, marking the third successive year of reasonably solid growth, the Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC) said Monday.



The IBEC, in its latest quarterly outlook, said that 2013 would mark a turning point for the Irish economy, with GDP growing 1.8 percent on the back of strong domestic demand and exports. The recovery is expected to gain further momentum in 2014.



"Although many Irish households continue to grapple with debt and unemployment, there is growing evidence that 2013 could be a turning point for the domestic economy," IBEC Chief Economist Fergal O'Brien said.



The estimated growth for this year represents an improvement from the 1.2 percent expansion projected for last year, which was supported by another record performance by the export sector. Ireland is the second fastest growing Eurozone economy in 2012.



Driving the recovery, private sector employment improved significantly in the third quarter of last year, and retail sales finished the year on a positive note. At the same time, the housing sector has seen prices stabilizing and housing transactions and new mortgage activity increasing, IBEC said.



The employers' group predicted that Ireland is set to record an annual inflation rate of 1.5 percent this year, which will move up to less than 2 percent in 2014.



At the same time, unemployment is forecast to stabilize and to remain high for some time, while private sector employment will start recovering with a modest growth of 0.4 percent in 2013.



"Exports continue to perform strongly, despite difficult trading conditions. Importantly, we're seeing more businesses successfully making the transition from domestic sales to exports, and progress continues in developing new markets," O'Brien added.

German ZEW Economic Expectations Recover Strongly


Germany's economic confidence turned positive in December for the first time since May 2012 as the largest euro area economy is expected to avoid a recession, a closely watched survey of financial market experts showed Tuesday.



The Indicator of Economic Sentiment climbed sharply by 22.6 points to 6.9 for December, survey from the ZEW Centre for European Economic Research revealed. Economists had forecast the reading to improve to -11.5.



Positive development in the U.S. also contributed to the improvement, which spurred the hope that the global economy will gain momentum. "The financial market experts forecast the development of the economic activity in 2013 with pre-Christmas optimism," said ZEW President Wolfgang Franz.



Although the cooling down of the economic activity will last until the beginning of 2013, Germany will not have to face a recession, provided the crises in the Eurozone do not deepen once again, he added.



The assessment of the current economic situation in Germany remained almost unchanged in December. The corresponding indicator gained 0.3 points to 5.7.



In contrast to the findings of ZEW survey, the German economic ministry today said the activity will weaken further in the final quarter of 2012. For the coming months, leading indicators show a dim picture, but with bright spots, it said in a statement.



The German economy grew 0.2 percent in the third quarter. Citing widespread uncertainty and difficult economic situation in parts of the euro area, the Bundesbank last week slashed its 2013 growth forecast for Germany to 0.4 percent from 1.6 percent.



Economic expectations for the Eurozone rose by 10.2 points to 7.6 points, the survey showed. The indicator for the current economic situation, at the same time, came in at -79.9 points-mark, up 0.4 points from the prior month.



The European Central Bank cut its economic forecasts for the euro area last week. The central bank projects GDP contractions of 0.5 percent this year and 0.3 percent in 2013. The economy is expected to recover in 2014 with a growth of 1.2 percent.
