Die Weltproduktion nahm zu Jahresbeginn zwar recht kräftig zu, das Expansionstempo überzeichnet aber wohl die zugrundeliegende Dynamik der Weltkonjunktur. Die globale Unsicherheit ist nach wie vor hoch, und die Stimmungsindikatoren weisen weiter nach unten, so dass für die kommenden Monate...

Die Weltwirtschaft expandierte im ersten Halbjahr 2019 weiterhin mit wenig Dynamik. In den fortgeschrittenen Volkswirtschaften schwächte sich das Expansionstempo zuletzt ab, in den Schwellenländern belebte sich hingegen die zuvor sehr schwache Konjunktur etwas. Vor allem die Industrie befindet...

Das Wachstum des Produktionspotenzials, also das bei Normalauslastung aller Produktionsfaktoren erzielbare Bruttoinlandsprodukt, lässt zunehmend nach und dürfte in der Mitte des kommenden Jahrzehnts nur noch rund 1 Prozent betragen. Aufgrund der Alterung der Bevölkerung gehen von der...

Global growth slowed in 2015. While we forecast the world economy to gradually gain momentum over the coming two years, the upturn is expected to be slow. PPP-weighted global GDP is expected to increase by 3.1 per cent this year followed by 3.4 and 3.8 per cent in 2016 and 2017, respectively....

The world economy seems to have stabilized in the first months of the year. The underlying growth dynamics, however, remain weak although we expect growth to accelerate somewhat going forward. This year, global output (at PPP exchange rates) will expand by 3.1 percent, which is close to last...

During the first half of the year global growth remained sluggish. While activity in emerging economies stabilized, growth in advanced economies softened. Over the next two years, we expect the world economy to pick up pace gradually, although without turning into a strong synchronized global...

World economic growth has picked up from the sluggish pace registered at the start of the year. We expect global growth at PPP exchange rates to accelerate to 3.5 and 3.6 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively, up from 3.1 percent this year. Growth in advanced economies will continue at a...

The world economy has gained traction in the course of 2016 despite elevated policy uncertainty and seems to have picked up further in the beginning of 2017. The change in the US government apparently has led to expectations of substantial policy stimulus, while a competitive valuation of...

In the middle of 2017, the world economy is experiencing robust growth. Especially in the advanced economies economic sentiment is upbeat, despite considerable economic policy uncertainty. We have increased our forecast for global GDP growth-on PPP basis-by 0.1 percentage points both in 2017 and...

In the second quarter of 2017, global output has reaccelerated after a somewhat muted start into the year. For the first time in a number of years, there is substantial economic momentum in almost all major economies at the same time. We expect world GDP growth on a PPP basis to rise to 3.7...
