• Inflation in the advanced world is
expected to record its lowest rate for five
years in 2015, but picks up in 2016 as the
impact of lower energy prices fades.
• We do not expect sustained deflation in
the eurozone or in the wider global economy.
In the US we expect the Fed funds rate to rise to 1.25% by
end 2015 and then peak at 2.5% in 2016.
