imports in 2010 in volume terms. No further gains of terms of trade

• Forecast risks
Downside risks

. Would Europe and the U.S. find enough support from their
internal demand to keep the global recovery continuing?
. Overheating in China might trigger a double dip late 2010
. Global imbalances put a threat on the exchange rate system
. As a consequence of trade deficits and high unemployment,
the U.S. and Europe can be attracted by protectionist
measures
- 19
• Forecast risks
Upside risks

. The catching up process (huge output gap) might imply a
quicker and longer economic growth of activity and trade
than expected
. Emerging countries could take the lead of world trade
growth to satisfy internal needs
