Today we present a preview from
our global economic outlook for Q4, which will be released to RGE clients later
this month. The full version of the outlook includes a more in-depth version of
the following analysis as well as RGE’s country-by-country projections for
economic growth.

Asian economies
rebounded in Q2 2009 as aggressive monetary and fiscal stimuli cushioned
domestic demand and quick inventory adjustment eased the downturn in industrial
production. Capital inflows have buoyed the asset markets and net exports have
contributed to GDP growth as imports have contracted faster than exports.
