Towers Watson Foresees Moderate Global Growth With Downside Risk
Business Wire - Tue Oct 21, 8:05AM CDT
In its Secular Outlook 2014: Investing Under a Cloud, Towers Watson (NYSE, NASDAQ: TW) concludes overall global growth in the next three to five years will be moderate and divergent on a country basis, and risks to global growth are skewed to the downside. The paper also indicates that Germany and the U.S. have reasonable medium-term growth drivers, but that the U.K. remains heavily indebted and sensitive to interest rate increases. The rest of Europe and Japan are in a difficult economic environment and in danger of remaining in a negative situation of low interest rates, weak growth and low inflation, according to the company. The report says a combination of gradual but significant currency appreciation and rapid increases in wages means Chinese labor is now materially less competitive than it was five years ago and will grow at a much slower pace over the next decade compared to the past 10 years.
