Who We Are
Oxford Economics is a world-leader in high quality,
quantitative economic analysis forecasting, and in practical,
evidence-based business and public policy advice.
 Founded in 1981, based in Oxford.

experienced professional economists, with offices in the UK,
US, France, Dubai and Singapore.

International Economic Forecasting
 Oxford Economics is a world-leader in international economic
forecasting.
 Our international forecasting clients include the IMF, World
Bank, Asia Development Bank and US Treasury as well as
blue chip companies across all sectors.
 We track, monitor and forecast 180 economies at a macro
level and 85 sectors across 60 countries.
 We are skilled at presenting our forecasts in business-relevant
ways for busy executives.
 Our forecasting track record is excellent, reflecting our
rigorous global modelling framework.
 Our models mean we can analyse quantitatively the impact of
alternative scenarios (eg impact of oil price or dollar moves)
and rigorously assess risks facing our clients.
Who should have suffered most in downturn?
 The global financial crisis was widely anticipated to hit most
hard those countries:
■ Very dependent on financial services
■ Who had experienced large housing and construction
booms
■ Where consumer debt had risen to excessive levels
■ Who were particularly exposed to trade with the US
 So, we’d expect to see US, UK, Spain and Ireland facing the
deepest recessions and countries like Germany, France and
Italy suffering much less

Outline of presentation
 What explains who suffered most during the downturn?
 Do recent data point to a strong recovery?
 Will those who suffered most recover fastest?
 Risks to the economic outlook
 Legacies from the downturn
What explains who suffered most?
 The financial shock was surprisingly similar across countries
 …as was its impact on confidence
 So financial crisis became a full-blown corporate crisis, with
the countries most exposed now those most dependent on:
■ Manufacturing and trade
– especially in capital goods and cars
– especially with Asia
■ Capital flows
■ Oil and commodity exports
 Hence, Germany and Italy, as well as Eastern Europe,
actually suffered worse recession than the US and UK

How strong will recovery be?
 Likely to be robust initially because of swing in inventory cycle
and rebound in world trade
 And policy remains very expansionary
 But likely to be bumpy and slower than ‘normal’:
■ Recoveries from banking crises usually slower
■ Household financial correction has some way to go
■ Business investment likely to be slow to recover given
large overhang of spare capacity in many sectors, slowing
recovery in countries dependent on capital goods
■ Car sector will be adversely affected when scrappage
schemes end
■ Rising oil prices good for Russia but bad for most

…but they won’t all keep up the pace
Why won’t Germany and Italy recover faster?
 Germany and Italy will be hindered by:
■ Slow trend growth
■ Slow recovery in global business investment
■ Measures to support economy and jobs are
temporary – wave of redundancies to come when
support measures end
■ Crisis has accelerated industrial relocation away
from Italy, which remains fundamentally
uncompetitive
Risks to the economic outlook
 V-Shaped recovery
 ‘W’-shaped cycle
■
Short-term outlook
■
■
■
Growth boosted by inventory rebuild
and world trade multiplier
But final demand remains weak as
banks and households keep
deleveraging
Oil/commodity price spike
Growth sluggish again in 2010H2 and
2011 after initial bounceback
 Deflation

Return to growth boosts business and
consumer confidence
Government stimulus efforts feed
through quickly
Financial market rally becomes firmly
established
Emerging markets boosted, adding to
global growth
 Oxford forecast
Renewed weakness in asset prices holds
back recovery in banking sector
Unemployment rises sharply further
depressing consumption
Monetary/fiscal policy not effective as
deflation grips
Protectionism measures enacted
Economy flatlines in 2010 and beyond

Medium-term outlook
Fiscal stimulus feeds through but
scale held back by deficits
Monetary easing blunted by weak
banks but eventually works
Gradual rise in business and

Some legacies from the downturn
 Massive fiscal cost of crisis means years of austerity
 Need to exit eventually from monetary stimulus – is
Eurozone better placed than US and UK?
 Regulation of financial services – how much will really
change?
 EMU has proved to be resilient in the face of massive
financial and economic shocks – will it take confidence
from this and a more forceful role globally?
