Increasing risk aversion is leading economic agents to adopt a wait-and-see stance that makes the slowdown partly self-fulfilling. - excerpt from A Global Perfect Storm is Brewing

US Economic Performance Is Weakening
Farther to the west, US economic performance is weakening, with first-quarter growth a miserly 1.9 per cent - well below potential.
And job creation faltered in the past two months, so the US may reach stall speed by year end.
Worse, the risk of a double-dip recession next year is rising: Even if what looks like a looming US fiscal cliff turns out to be only a smaller source of drag, the likely increase in some taxes and reduction of some transfer payments will reduce growth in disposable income and consumption. - in Today Online

Greece Is A Side Show
"Greece is a side show. Italy & Spain may lose market access & need Troika rescue regardless of Greek elections as Spain bank rescue botched." - in a recent Tweet

The Euro Zone Banking System Is Becoming Balkanised
The euro zone banking system is becoming balkanised, as cross-border and inter-bank credit lines are cut off, and capital flight could turn into a full run on periphery banks if, as is likely, Greece stages a disorderly euro exit in the next few months. - in Today Online

Greek Elections: Everything Will Depend On How Europe Reacts
Everything will depend on how Europe reacts. If the funding to Greece stopped, the country will collapse and many investors will get into panic.
Then, a run on the banks in Portugal, Spain, and Italy will take place. Who pulls the plug on Greece will in turn provoke a total collapse of the euro-zone. - in AGI.it

The Savings Madness Must Be Stopped
The savings madness must be stopped. Governments must lower taxes and increase wages. Europe needs growth.
The German government should give every German household a 1000 euros travel voucher. However, it should only be used for holidays in crisis countries. That will help boost growth there.
In addition, everyone who buys a holiday home in a southern European state should get a tax bonus. - in Bild

Perfect Storm In 2013
We are concerned about the potential for a “perfect storm” in 2013: a disorderly situation in the eurozone (EZ), with a Greek exit and significant contagion to other fragile periphery members; U.S. growth that slows to stall speed as a sharp fiscal cliff looms; tensions in the Middle East between the U.S./Israel and Iran that reach a boil and trigger a spike in oil prices; a landing in China that moves from soft to hard; and a massive slowdown in other emerging markets (EMs). - in RGE

2013`s Fiscal Drag
The point is, all this is expiring at year end, and the hole will be $600 billion, or about 4 percent of GDP, and then we plunge into a nasty recession. Some items may be continued (if the Republicans and Democrats can agree to extend) but a realistic assessment is a fiscal drag. - USA Today

Is Russia A Dynamic Emerging Market? Not A Chance.
So if its government isn’t interested in western clubs, can we classify Russia as a dynamic emerging market? Not a chance.
In China, a Communist party has engineered a complex, high-powered economic engine that has lifted the country from abject poverty to become the world’s second-largest economy. India has produced some of the world’s more innovative private sector companies. Brazil is now an increasingly self-confident democracy with a well-diversified economy and a growing international profile.
Russia, by contrast, has become an authoritarian state built on Mr Putin’s reputation as a tough guy and the export of oil, gas, other natural resources and little else. Corruption is endemic. - in Economonitor

Greece Should Leave The Eurozone
Postponing the exit after the June election with a new government committed to a variant of the same failed policies (recessionary austerity and structural reforms) will not restore growth and competitiveness. Greece is stuck in a vicious cycle of insolvency, lost competitiveness, external deficits, and ever-deepening depression.

The Greek Euro Tragedy Is Reaching Its Final Act
The Greek euro tragedy is reaching its final act: it is clear that either this year or next, Greece is highly likely to default on its debt and exit the euro zone. Postponing the exit until after next month’s election with a new government committed to a variant of the same failed policies will not restore growth and competitiveness.
Greece is stuck in a vicious cycle of insolvency, lost competitiveness, external deficits and ever-deepening depression. The only way to stop it is to begin an orderly default and exit, co-ordinated and financed by the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Union, and the International Monetary Fund (the Troika), that minimises collateral damage to Greece and the rest of the euro zone. - in Business Day
