S&P issues US, Eurozone growth forecasts for 2016, 2017

 

S&P have been polishing the crystal balls, here's what they've come up with

  • They forecast US GDP growth at 2.4% in 2016 and 2.3% in 2017
  • For the Eurozone the forecasts are for 1.6% and 1.8% respectively
  • APAC (Asia Pacific) GDP growth, they say, will be 5.4% in 2016 and 2017. In an unusual commentary S&P add 'In your face, US and Eurozone!' (OK, not really, but I wish they would!)
