Economic Pulse: Asia Pacific - Which way is Asia headed?
Investing in certain Asian markets where inflationary conditions are likely to persist remains a logical strategy. Large populations of relatively young workforces

Economic Pulse: Europe - What should we plan for?
Occupiers and investors face a number of problems in working out their strategy, not helped by the fact that inflationary conditions could be quite different within the five- to seven-year time horizon, with a period of low but volatile inflation in the short term possibly giving way to higher inflation in two to three years.

Economic Pulse: the Americas - Precarious Balance
Whether serious inflation or deflation is avoided will come down to the ability of monetary and fiscal authorities to revive the economy and then withdraw the stimulus before it creates too much demand.

Spending for Economic Recovery: Implications for the D.C. Region
The implosion of the housing and financial sectors has wiped out much of the economic progress achieved over the past 10 years. Consumers continue to cut back their spending as they cope with rising un-employment, falling home values and shrinking investment portfolios. Amid such pullback, combined with shareholder pressure, falling profits, and uncertain future demand, corporate cost-cutting has accelerated in recent months. All this is contributing to the longest and steepest recession since the 1930s. |
