Global Recession Likely, Wachovia Says

(RTTNews) - Global real GDP growth averaged nearly 5 percent per annum between 2004 and 2007, the strongest four-year period of growth in decades. However, real GDP growth rates have slowed in most countries this year, and we look for further deceleration in 2009, say the analysts at Wachovia. Indeed, we project that global GDP will grow only 2 percent in 2009, the slowest year for global growth since 1993. If credit markets remain frozen for a prolonged period of time, global growth next year could be even slower than our official projection. Indeed, it is very difficult to forecast with any reasonable degree of certainty during the middle of a global financial crisis. Underlying all of our projections is our assumption that policymakers will take the necessary steps to prevent the global financial system from completely imploding.
