Abstract

  • • The most likely outlook for the world economy in 1999 is a marked slowdown, with growth slackening in the OECD from 2.4 to 1.8 per cent.

  • • But there is also a high probability that further shocks to financial markets could induce a full blown recession in the US and a substantial reduction in European growth.

  • • Sharp and swift cuts in interest rates are needed to avert this danger.

  • • The ECB could cut rates by half a percentage point without compromising its inflation goals.
