In the first half of 2019, the worldwide the global economy growth of real GDP (excluding the euro area) weakened. However, the most recent data point to a stabilisation in the second half of the year. The weak growth trend reflects the slowdown in both manufacturing and investment, worsened by increasing uncertainties in the political and economic policy framework, in addition to the exacerbation of trade tensions and the developments linked to Brexit. However, recent data indicate a stabilisation of operations worldwide, though at low levels. Real GDP continued to expand in the United States and Japan, while the growth of real operations picked up in the United Kingdom. In the third quarter of the year, in the United States, the solidity of the labour market and consumer spending, and favourable financial conditions continued to drive growth, while, in Japan, expansion was driven by robust domestic demand. In the United Kingdom, growth recovered thanks to a surprising expansion in net exports and solid private consumption trends. In China, the figures for the third quarter confirmed the gradual slowdown in operations, driven by investments, while growth stabilised in other emerging economies. International trade weakened in 2019 and is expected to grow at a more moderate pace than global operations in the medium term. Global inflationary pressures remained low, while the risks to international economic activities, though less marked overall, are still on a downward curve. However, the evaluations by corporate purchasing managers (Purchasing Managers’ Index, SME) suggest that, in the fourth quarter, the cycle is still unfavourable in the manufacturing sector. In December, the United States and China reached a first trade agreement (phase- one deal), which is preliminary to a wider discussion on economic relations between the two countries. The agreement averted the US tariff increases initially planned for mid-December and halved those introduced in September. The Chinese government has committed to increasing the imports of agricultural and energy goods from the United States and has offered guarantees on intellectual property protection and exchange rate policy. The agreement reduced the economic tensions between these two countries, which had begun in the first few months of 2018. However, overall, the current duties remain much higher than two years ago. At the end of 2019, the US Congress approved the new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, USMCA), which replaces the 1994 agreement (North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA), tightening the rules on the origin of products and the production standards in the automotive sector. Conversely, the decision on duties on imports of cars and components from the European Union (EU) has been postponed until a later date. In the main advanced economies, consumer prices are growing at around 2% in the United States and even less in other areas. In the United States, long-term inflation expectations based on financial market returns remained broadly stable at around 1.8%. WorldReginfo - 2fb9419d-ea85-43fb-8cd1-f65f2f544c5b 15 Management report of the Azimut Group According to OECD’s November forecasts, the global economy would grow by 2.9% this year, as in 2019, the lowest value since the global financial crisis of 2008- 09. The weakness of world trade and manufacturing production would continue to affect the economy. According to our estimates, international trade increased by just 0.6% in 2019 and will accelerate modestly in 2020. International financial The rising expectations for a trade agreement between China and the United States markets and the accommodative stance of the major central banks led to a shift in investors’ interest from the bond to the equity segment, pushing equity prices up. Long- term yields rose slightly, reflecting less pessimistic assessments of growth prospects.
