  • Andorra and Its Financial System 2008
    ANDORRA i el seu Sistema Financer and its Financial System 2008 2008 and its Financial System i el seu Sistema Financer / Financer Sistema seu i el A ANDORR A BA ASSOCIACIÓ DE BANCS ANDORRANS A BA ASSOCIACIÓ DE BANCS ANDORRANS ANDORRA and its Financial System PRESENTATION During 2008 the worldwide economy has undergone a change in cycle, with the majority of countries plunging into a serious economic recession originating from the crisis in international financial mar- kets. Consequently, investors and consumers have lost confidence at global level. The actual GDP of advanced economies has therefore dropped by 7.50% in the last quarter of 2008. Forecasts for 2009 show a 1.30% reduction in the GDP and a gradual recovery for 2010, with growth of 1.90%. The US economy has possibly been that which has most suffered the consequences of the growing financial tension and the ongoing slow down of the construction sector. Nevertheless, Western Europe and the advanced economies of Asia have also been seriously jeopardised by the collapse of the worldwide economy, the worsening of their financial problems and, in certain cases, changes in the real estate sector. The economies of emerging countries have also experienced serious problems, reporting a 4% de- cline during the last quarter of 2008. This situation has particularly affected East Asian countries which mainly depend on exports of manufacturers and those of emerging countries of Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), growth of which is closely related to capital inflows. The rapid slowdown in worldwide activity has coincided with depleted inflationary pressure.
