General economic situation

In the second quarter of 2009, recessionary tendencies continued both in the industrialised countries and in most emerging economies. However, the downward momentum of the world economy slowed down substantially towards the end of the first half of 2009. Following a sharp downturn at the beginning of the year, the decline in global trade almost came to an end. Industrial production continued to contract in the second quarter; however, the pace of the decline has moderated noticeably since February. Commodity prices have bottomed out. Sentiment indicators such as business and consumer climate have stabilised at a low level or have improved. The situation in the financial markets has also eased slightly. The comprehensive national economic stimulus packages, combined with monetary and fiscal policies massively supporting the economy worldwide, are increasingly taking effect. However, cyclical risks continue to be strong.
