The biggest change is in the Eurozone, where after a contraction of (0.4%) in 2013, we forecast recovery to 1.1% growth in 2014. • We forecast US GDP growth of 3.0% for 2014. Corporate confidence is critical. So, too, is the resumption of stronger jobs growth. • In China we forecast GDP growth of 7.8% this year, with diminished downside risk. But credit growth is too strong and China must rely onto exports to achieve its growth targets. • The Fed will reduce its asset purchases throughout 2014, with 'QE3' concluding by year end. For Treasuries, 'tapering' is less important than expectations about when the Fed will raise short rates (not before 2015, in our view) • Risks include the European politics, Eurozone bank de-leveraging, Fed uncertainty, 'the fragile 5', and geopolitical flare-ups—any of which could de-rail a still-sluggish global recovery. 3 Source: UBS frenchph [printed: March 23, 2011 11:48 AM] [saved: October 4, 2012 4:46 PM] S:\EDITORIAL INBOX\Reports\Nordics-SA-PF.ppt Living history Level of real GDP, selected countries: Q1 2008 = 100 111 Real GDP Q108=100 106 101 96 91 86 81 76 Q111 Q110 Q211 Q311 Q411 Q112 Q113 Q108 Q208 Q308 Q408 Q109 Q209 Q309 Q409 Q210 Q310 Q410 Q212 Q312 Q412 Q213 Q313 US UK Germany France Italy Spain Greece 4 Source: OECD/IMF frenchph [printed: March 23, 2011 11:48 AM] [saved: October 4, 2012 4:46 PM] S:\EDITORIAL INBOX\Reports\Nordics-SA-PF.ppt Better but not good World GDP growth and long-term average 5 Source: Haver, UBS frenchph [printed: March 23, 2011 11:48 AM] [saved: October 4, 2012 4:46 PM] S:\EDITORIAL INBOX\Reports\Nordics-SA-PF.ppt Spot the divergence GDP growth rates in EM vs. DM 10% Real GDP growth (% y/y, mid-weighted) 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% -2% -4% -6% 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 EM Developed 6 Source: Haver, CEIC, IMF, UBS estimates frenchph [printed: March 23, 2011 11:48 AM] [saved: October 4, 2012 4:46 PM] S:\EDITORIAL INBOX\Reports\Nordics-SA-PF.ppt Inflation doesn’t start from here Global output gap as % of world GDP 7 Source: Haver, OECD Economic Outlook, UBS estimates frenchph [printed: March 23, 2011 11:48 AM] [saved: October 4, 2012 4:46 PM] S:\EDITORIAL INBOX\Reports\Nordics-SA-PF.ppt Policy challenges frenchph [printed: March 23, 2011 11:48 AM] [saved: October 4, 2012 4:46 PM] S:\EDITORIAL INBOX\Reports\Nordics-SA-PF.ppt The other great de-leveraging?
