Overview
Economic Indicators A publication, compiled by the Roland Berger Institute, that provides you with the most important macroeconomic facts and figures. The presentation is updated regularly.
Sources We screen the insights of the most important economic research institutes, think tanks and corporate research units around the world. These include IMF, OECD, WTO, Consensus as well as databases such as Bloomberg and Oxford Economics.
Real economic indicators > We are in the midst of a strong recovery of the world economy,
but geopolitical risks in particular may threaten growth in the medium-term
> GDP growth rates are picking up on a broad base, global GDP growth is projected to reach 3.6% in 2017 and 3.7% in 2018
> Inflation rates in advanced economies are expected to more than double reaching an average of 1.7% in 2017
Financial indicators > Stock markets are in great shape, key indices such as Dow
Jones, Nikkei and DAX reaching new all-time highs
> Fed interest rate is expected to rise further during 2018, while the ECB's is projected to stay at zero. Euro gained on USD
> Low bond yields and CDS indices reflect the current strength of economic activity and decreasing risks
Other indicators > Global economic climate has strongly recovered since Q4
2016 reaching high levels in EU and Germany
> Consumer sentiment in US and Germany at record levels in fall 2017

While in the short term the recovery of the world economy is strengthening, there are several risks to growth in the medium term
Development of the world economy Potential risk factors for the world economy
> Growth remains weak in many countries. Commodity exporters are particularly hard hit as their adjustment to a sharp stepdown in foreign earnings continues
> High policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions (e.g. regarding North Korea, Middle East, Ukraine). Policy missteps could take a toll on market confidence, resulting in tighter financial conditions and weaker asset prices
> Prospects for medium-term growth are subdued, as negative output gaps shrink and demographic factors and weak productivity weigh on potential growth
> Further risks to growth in the medium term: a more rapid and sizable tightening of global financial conditions, financial turmoil in emerging markets, persistently low inflation in advanced economies, a broad rollback of the improvements in financial regulation achieved since the global financial crisis, and a shift towards protectionism.
> The upswing in global economic activity is strengthening. After a GDP growth rate of 3.2% in 2016, which was the weakest since the global financial crisis in 2009, global growth is expected to increase to 3.6% in 2017 and 3.7% in 2018
> According to the IMF, "broad-based upward revisions in the euro area, Japan, emerging Asia, emerging Europe, and Russia – where growth outcomes in the first half of 2017 were better than expected – more than offset downward revisions for the United States and the United Kingdom."
> In the cyclical pickup of global activity the IMF sees a "window of opportunity to tackle the key policy challenges – namely to boost potential output while ensuring its benefits are broadly shared, and to build resilience against downside risks. A renewed multilateral effort is also needed to tackle the common challenges of an integrated global economy."
> The IMF recommends structural reforms and growth-friendly fiscal policies to boost productivity and labor supply. Advanced economies should continue with their accommodative monetary policy until there are firm signs of inflation returning to target levels

Mixed picture regarding output gaps: Some countries still have room for improvement while others are stretching their limits

1) The output gap is actual minus potential output, as a percentage of potential output. Potential output – referred to as the production capacity of the economy – is the maximum amount
of goods and services an economy can turn out when it is most efficient (at full capacity). Estimates of the output gap are subject to significant margins of uncertainty
