THE WORLD ECONOMY

The global economy continued to grow slowly in the third quarter of 2013. Despite steady revival of the US economy, the faltering recovery of the Euro area, decelerating growth in the Asian region and the uncertainties of the US fiscal and monetary policies still posed downside risks to global growth. The World Economic Outlook (WEO) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in October 2013 indicated that growth in the advanced economies have gained some speed, while the emerging market economies have slowed down. The world economy is forecast to expand by 2.9%
in 2013 and 3.6% in 2014, down by 0.3 and 0.2 percentage points from the July forecast respectively.
The US economy showed steady recovery. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter of 2013 expanded by 1.8% year-on-year and 3.6% quarter-to-quarter. Inventory growth and private consumption expenditure contributed 1.7 and 1.0 percentage points to economic growth;
fixed investment added 0.8 percentage points to the increase; however, economic contribution of exports was nearly offset by the increase in imports. The unemployment rate dropped by 0.1 percentage point quarter-to-quarter to 7.3% amid economic recovery; the seasonal adjusted unemployment rate also stood at 7.3%.
Although economic growth sustained in Germany and France, yet the pace of recovery of the Euro area was far from solid. The third quarter GDP of the Euro area shrank by 0.4% year-on-year, but registered quarter-to-quarter increase for two consecutive quarters, at 0.1%. Inventory growth contributed 0.3 percentage points to economic growth; gross fixed capital formation and exports added 0.1 percentage point each, whereas imports tapered off 0.4 percentage points. The unemployment rate receded by 0.2 percentage points quarter-to-quarter to 11.8%.
In UK, service sector, the construction and manufacturing sectors expanded for two consecutive quarters, with the third quarter GDP rising by 1.5% year-on-year and 0.8%
quarter-to-quarter. Gross capital formation and household final consumption expenditure contributed 1.1 and 0.5 percentage points respectively to economic growth, but net exports dragged down the rate of increase by 0.9 percentage points. The economy revived noticeably, the unemployment rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points from previous quarter, at 7.6%.
Decelerating growth in the emerging Asian economies was triggered by slackened external demand. The October WEO of IMF indicated that the ASEAN 5
aeconomies are projected to expand by 5.0%, the Middle East and the North African region by 2.1%, and the Chinese and Indian economies by 7.6% and 3.8% respectively in 2013, much lower than the forecast in July, with the exception of China.
Japan continued the economic stimulus measures, yet the effects seemed to be fading away.
a
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam
The third quarter GDP increased by 2.7% year-on-year and merely 0.5% quarter-to-quarter. The driver of growth came from domestic demand that contributed 0.9 percentage points to economic growth; however, exports pulled down the rate of increase by 0.4 percentage points. The unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 4.0% amid sustained economic recovery;
the seasonal adjusted rate also stood at 4.0%.
The economy of Mainland China maintained steady growth. The third quarter GDP expanded by 7.8% year-on-year, a rebound of 0.3 percentage points compared with the increase in the previous quarter. In the first three quarters of 2013, value added of the above-scale industries rose by 9.6% year-on-year, up by 0.3 percentage points from the increase in the first half year; fixed asset investment increased by 20.2% year-on-year, up by 0.1 percentage point; retail sales of consumer goods rose by 12.9% year-on-year, up by 0.2 percentage points, with sales of jewellery rising by 29.6%, construction and decoration materials by 20.7%, and furniture by 20.6%. Total value of external trade for the first three quarters of 2013 grew by 7.7% year-on-year and the trade surplus amounted to USD169.4 billion. Inflation rate was stable, the Consumer Price Index for the third quarter increased slightly by 2.5%, of which CPI for September rose by 3.1% year-on-year.
Hong Kong maintained moderate growth in the third quarter of 2013, the economy expanded by 2.9% year-on-year and 0.5% quarter-to-quarter. Despite slower growth, domestic demand remained the key impetus to economic growth, of which private consumption expenditure increased by 2.8% year-on-year, government final consumption expenditure and gross fixed capital formation rose by 2.7% and 2.2% respectively. External demand remained sluggish, imports and exports rising by 2.6% and 3.3% year-on-year, and by 1.0% and 2.1% quarter-to-quarter. The unemployment rate edged up by 0.1 percentage point, at 3.5%; the seasonal adjusted unemployment rate held stable as the previous quarter at 3.3%.

Looking ahead for the fourth quarter, domestic demand is forecast to expand further and total
investment is likely to hold up well with rising private investment; private consumption expenditure
is expected to see steady growth on account of the increase in total employment and employment
earnings. As regards external demand, merchandise export is likely to post continuous increase;
meanwhile, exports of services are expected to have robust growth as visitor arrivals and gross
gaming revenue for October and November increased by 2.2% and 26.7%. Taking into
consideration these factors and the fourth quarter is generally seen as the season of spending, the
fourth quarter growth of Macao is forecast to be higher than the past three quarters.
