Hilsenrath’s Take: Yellen To Market: Don’t Be So Sure of Yourself * Fed Keeps Rates Unchanged, Sees Eventual Rise in 2015, 2016 * BOE Appointee Says Markets Too Sanguine on Risk * China Central Bank to Set Up New Policy Tool * It pays to run the Bank of England

Suhdannekatsaus 1/2014Valtiovarainministeriö
Kuluvana vuonna talous kasvaa vain 0,2 % ja vuonna 2015 päästään maltilliseen 1,4 prosentin kasvuun. Ennustejakson viimeisenä vuotena 2016 BKT:n kasvuksi muodostuu 1,6 %. Vuonna 2015 kaikki kysyntäerät julkisia investointeja lukuun ottamatta vaikuttavat talouskasvuun positiivisesti. Vienti lisääntyy 4,6 % kansainvälisen kaupan piristyessä. Kotitalouksien reaalitulojen kehitys jää kuitenkin heikoksi ja yksityisen kulutuksen kasvu jatkuu edelleen hyvin vaimeana.
