| Chinese GDP growth slows again Posted: 13 Jul 2012 10:02 AM PDT | www.euronews.com China's economic growth rate continues to slow. Between April and June year-on-year growth was 7.6 percent - down from 8.1 percent in the first quarter. That was the slackest pace in more than three years. But analysts believe Beijing's stimulus efforts are beginning to stabilise the economy. Standard Chartered's Head of Research for Greater China Stephen Green said: "We're definitely in a slowdown and the data today suggests we have slowed down considerably this year. I think it's not too much to worry about. Seven to eight percent is probably a reasonable expectation for China in the next five to 10 years. It would be good to remember we're already a very big economy." China's government is seeking a middle path - trying to avoid boosting inflation with stimulus measures but also anxious that slower growth does not lead to job losses. There is much debate among analysts as whether the slowdown in the world's second-largest economy has bottomed out and the country has avoided a hard landing.

| Eurozone risk to global growth Posted: 16 Jul 2012 10:41 AM PDT | www.euronews.com The International Monetary Fund has cut its global growth forecast and warned that the outlook could get worse unless Europe's policymakers act with more force and speed on the debt crisis. The IMF's prediction for this year slipped slightly to three and a ha3.5 percent, but for next year it cut its growth projection to 3.9 percent from April's four point one percent. Emerging market economies - such as China, India and Brazil - are not immune with the IMF cautioning growth momentum is slowing. In the update to its regular World Economic Outlook it says China's gross domestic product should expand 8.0 percent this year and accelerate to 8.5 growth in 2013. The IMF cut its growth forecast for the eurozone to 0.7 percent next year and confirmed it expects a 0. 3 percent contraction this year. It called resolving the eurozone crisis the "utmost priority" and wants European leaders to adopt more fiscal and banking integration as well as a mechanism for failing banks. *UK growth outlook slashed* Britain's growth prospects for the next two years have worsened more than those of any other big advanced economy over the past three months, the IMF said. The sharp downgrade chimes with other economists' darkening assessments, and the IMF said it was too soon to say if a recent flurry of official measures to stimulate growth would be enough, or if the government will have to ease back further on its fiscal austerity plans.
