The World Economy At A Glance

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/12/2014 15:07 -0400

Despite bond yields at record lows, stock markets at record highs, and a general 'faith' that we are heading towards a Keynesian utopia of escape velocity growth (despite IMF downgrades and the reality of current data), the following table of the world's PMIs is your handy cocktail-party cheat sheet for 'smart' discussion of soft-survey-based economic progress... UK, Ireland, and UAE are the fastest growers while France, Italy, and the broad Eurozone are contracting at the fastest pace.

and just the manufacturing indices...

All that green and investors demand that the world's central banks are either on the verge of more easing or talking about more easing? What are they so afraid of?

"Very soon a division will occur in Europe, all of which is connected to the EU and the country in which the Chair of Peter is located. This will result in a war, which will be a different kind of war to other wars. But it will be vicious. People will rise against each other in Germany, Italy and France."

Italy will be instrumental in the fallout which will trigger the involvement of global powers in a war – all these events are inevitable, but prayer can ease suffering.

It will start in Europe.

Your banking system will be the cause and Germany, once again, will be involved in this tragedy as it was on the last two occasions.

When it commences much will be over saving the economy and catastrophe will affect Greece with much fallout in France

Macro-nonsense. We don't all work for "big companies" anymore. The world economy is much more complex than this 1950s thinking can imagine...

Gotta love a chart with numbers in the range of 40 to 60 claiming to tell the tale of world's manufacturing.

The three lowest composite scores are Russia, India, and China. Of course that won't be mentioned at BRIC-worshipping Zero Hedge.

I have been watching with wonder as the economic news flowing from the UK has been spun to give the impression of robust growth. How do you explain the pick up in growth to a mature country that has been struggling under debt? In general the UK economy is not particularly competitive, over-weighted in the service sector and global finance it is vulnerable to problems that surface throughout the world. As usual we must look deeper into the facts to get a clear picture of what is really happening.

It now appears much of the recent strength comes from the fact that thousands of Britons are receiving compensation for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). Most Americans reading about the pickup in Britain's economy never even heard of the PPI. The total paid out so far is £13.3bn or about 22 billion American dollars. Dropping this huge amount of "helicopter money" on a country of only about 63 million people has been a big boost. The post below goes into why the growth won't last and has been way over spun.
