Global economic performance remained weak in the second quarter of 2013. Slow recovery in the US economy, recession in the Euro area albeit signs of improvement, stagnant export growth in the Asian region, together with the expected withdrawal of the U.S. monetary stimulus measures, continued to pose risks to global recovery. The World Economic Outlook (WEO) Update of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in July 2013 indicated that global growth was lower than the April forecast, driven by weaker domestic demand in major emerging market economies, as well as a more protracted recession in the Euro area. The world economy is projected to expand by 3.1% in 2013 and 3.8% in 2014, both down by 0.2 percentage points from the April forecast.
The US economy continued to recover at a slow pace. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter of 2013 expanded by 1.6% year-on-year and 2.5% quarter-to-quarter. Private consumption expenditure and fixed investment contributed 1.2 and 0.9 percentage points to economic growth; the substantial increase in exports added 1.1 percentage point to the growth, but it was totally offset by the increase of imports; meanwhile, government spending dragged down the rate of increase by 0.2 percentage points. The second quarter unemployment rate dropped by 0.7 percentage points quarter-to-quarter to 7.4% upon continuous economic growth; the seasonal adjusted unemployment rate stood at 7.6%.
The economies of Germany and France resumed growth in the second quarter of 2013, but the Euro area remained in recession. The second quarter GDP of the Euro area shrank by 0.5%
year-on-year, marking six consecutive quarters of negative growth, yet the rate of contraction has slowed; the economy increased by 0.3% quarter-to-quarter, with slight improvement in economic conditions. Exports contributed 0.8 percentage points to economic growth; consumption expenditure of households and non-profit institutions, and government final consumption expenditure both added 0.1 percentage point to growth. With signs of improvement in economic performance, the unemployment rate decreased by 0.6 percentage points quarter-to-quarter to 12.0%.
Benefited from the growth in the service sector, and the construction and manufacturing industries, the second quarter GDP of the UK expanded by 1.5% year-on-year, a significant growth from the previous quarter, and increased by 0.7% quarter-to-quarter. Both household and government final consumption expenditure contributed 0.2 percentage points to economic growth, and net exports pushed up the rate of increase by 0.3 percentage points. Despite stronger economic growth, the unemployment rate stayed unchanged for four consecutive quarters, at 7.8%.
Growth of the export-oriented Asian economies slowed upon stagnant exports. The July WEO Update of IMF indicated that the ASEAN 5
ais projected to expand by 5.6%, the Middle East and the North African region by 3.0%, and the Chinese and Indian economies by 7.8% and 5.6%
a
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam
respectively for the whole year of 2013, with the growth projections for all economies being revised downward from the April forecast.
Japan continued to implement a loose monetary policy, but the economic growth was still below expectations. The second quarter GDP increased by 0.9% year-on-year and 0.6%
quarter-to-quarter. Domestic demand and exports contributed 0.5 and 0.4 percentage points to economic growth. The unemployment rate held stable from the previous quarter at 4.2% amid slow economic recovery; the seasonal adjusted rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points to 4.0%.
The economy of Mainland China maintained steady growth. The second quarter GDP expanded by 7.5% year-on-year, down by 0.2 percentage points from the previous quarter. In the first half year of 2013, value added of the above-scale industries rose by 9.3% year-on-year, down by 0.2 percentage points from the increase in the first quarter of 2013; fixed asset investment increased by 20.1% year-on-year, down by 0.8 percentage points; retail sales of consumer goods rose by 12.7% year-on-year, up by 0.3 percentage points, with jewellery rising by 29.7%, sales of furniture by 21.3%, and construction and decoration materials by 18.2%. Total value of external merchandise trade for the first half of 2013 rose by 8.6% year-on-year, with trade surplus amounting to USD108.0 billion. Inflation held stable, with the Consumer Price Index for the second quarter staying at 2.4% and that for June rising by 2.7% year-on-year.
The economy of Hong Kong continued to grow moderately in the second quarter of 2013, up by 3.3% year-on-year and 0.8% quarter-to-quarter. Domestic demand remained the key impetus to growth, of which gross fixed capital formation resumed growth by 6.9%, private consumption expenditure and government final consumption expenditure increased by 4.2% and 3.1%
respectively year-on-year. The weakened external environment continued to affect the trade performance of Hong Kong, with merchandise imports and exports rising by 3.5% and 2.4%
year-on-year, or down by 1.1% and 2.9% quarter-to-quarter. The unemployment rate held stable as
the previous quarter at 3.4%; the seasonal adjusted unemployment rate stood at 3.3%.

which total investment is likely to hold stable as the same quarter of previous year; private
consumption expenditure is projected to sustain growth on account of buoyant job market, rising
employment earnings and low unemployment rate. As regards external demand, merchandise

economies, the economy of Macao for the third quarter of 2013 is expected to maintain favourable
growth.
