When and How will the Global Economy Recover ?

An Organizing Framework
A different kind of global business cycle, driven by private credit, not public (monetary and fiscal) policy
The private credit cycle is global in nature, albeit with some sector, country and regional concentration
The downleg of this cycle (“the de-leveraging phase”) has come in two parts: the “strains” phase (early 2007 – Sept 2008) and the “crisis” phase (Sept 2008 – Mar 2009)
The best way to characterize our global outlook is that we are projecting a return to conditions more consistent with the “strains” phase in the months ahead

The De-Leveraging Phase Has Had Two Phases
The “Strains” Phase
(2007 - Sep. 2008) Collapse of asset-backed securities
market; re-intermediation of credit on to banks’ balance sheet
Slowing in U.S. growth to near-recession levels
Solid growth in other key parts of global economy (“decoupling”)
High and rising commodity prices
Increasingly supportive G7 policy stance
The “Crisis” Phase
(Sep. 2008 - March 2009) Unprecedented turmoil in financial
markets, break down of trust
Collapse in global industry, world trade and commodity prices
Widespread global recession
Plunge in operating levels and rise in unemployment
Policy has become very supportive and highly innovative

Concluding Messages
The global economy has been in free-fall for six months, but there are some tentative signs that this is moderating.
In the months ahead, a return to a desynchronized global economy is likely.
A significant increase in global unemployment is now underway, however.
Massive, unprecedented, global policy easing is now underway, the long-term implications of which are somewhat unclear.
Major challenges lie ahead in Europe.
The global backdrop for Asia and Latin America remains very tough, but has improved slightly in the past few months.
