Agenda
» World economy under stress: Two-speed recovery, rising commodity prices, ongoing tensions in the financial sector, eroding confidence in public finances, shift in market sentiment from inflation fear to recession panic
» US economy: Structural rather than cyclical weaknesses
» Europe: Slow recovery, but upswing continues
» Sovereign debt crisis in the euro area: Politics vs. markets
» Interest rate outlook: Low rates for quite a while

Sovereign debt crisis: Still unresolved
• Politicians are “behind the curve“ compared to market participants since the beginning of the crisis.
• The often-repeated official statement: “We reaffirm our commitment to the euro and to do whatever is needed to ensure the financial stability of the euro area as a whole and its Member States“ (21 July 2011) is still not trusted by market participants.
• In the short term, intervention by official institutions (EFSF, ECB) is unavoidable. In the medium to long term, institutional changes (EU treaty) are needed which incorporate a shift of sovereignty in fiscal policy to EU/EMU level.
• The euro will survive as a stable currency (internally and externally).

Summary
• The global upswing will continue despite new challenges. But the upswing will continue to be two-speed, with global imbalances, fiscal tightening, a weakened banking system and high commodity prices.
• The US will continue its (very) risky course in fiscal and monetary policies. The dollar will remain under downward pressure.
• The European economy will continue to be marked by divergence in 2011. The sovereign debt crisis will be manageable if the political will exists at both national and EU level.
• Inflation in 2011 and 2012 in the US and euro area will be low. The ECB will continue to raise rates cautiously (year-end: 1.75%).
• In the euro area yield spreads on government bonds will be wide unless a convincing and lasting solution to the sovereign debt crisis is agreed.
