Abstract / Description

This year global economy is projected to grow by 4.8 percent but the main driver of the growth would be the emerging market economies.US at 2.6%,Eurozone 1.7% and Japan 2,8% are still struggling to recover but China, India, Brazil, Indonesia are leading the way, Unemployment in the US continues to remain a worry and the anxiety about the future course of the economy has kept investment in fixed assets subdued. Why is that only after a brief spell of a few quarters’ decline the EDEs in general have performed so well, unemployment has been contained and the stimulus package although quite modest in comparison to the western economies have done the trick?
