According to the central bank of Spain, robust export could possibly help increase the country’s economy by 0.8 percent quarterly rate over the past three months of 2017 amid the unfavorable consequences brought by the Catalan political crisis.

The Spanish economy is expected to grow by 3.1 percent this year, however, the government has to revise the outlook for 2018 by 2.3 percent versus the initial estimate of 2.6 percent due to risks generated from the already separated regional government of Catalan that urge of its
independence last October.

On Wednesday, the central bank further mentioned that buoyant exports generally created for the economic fallout in wealthy Catalonia. The projections and official data are scheduled to be released next month by the National Statistics Institute.

Currently, Spain is one of the fastest-growing economies of the European Union after emerging from the collapse in late 2013.

Strong German Economy in 2018

According to a report from the Commerzbank, the German economy is predicted to increase by 2.5 percent this 2018 upon gaining strong growth of 2.3 percent in 2018. The main economic driver is the private consumption due to the expansion of employment and suitable wage increase. Moreover, the improving machinery and equipment investments are projected to support the success of Germany.

The international economy rose in favor of financial conditions and growing capacity bottlenecks which indicates that there are more companies who invested again. The momentum is driven by construction investments and sustained by high demand for real estate.

The economy of Germany further grew in the past decade compared with other European countries. However, the optimism might end in the longer-term due to the instability of the country’s strong price competitiveness which is one of their pillars towards prosperity.

On the other hand, the biggest economy in the EU slid to 16th rank out of 28 countries as the most attractive business location around the world. This is because of the recent reform implemented by eastern European nations.

Macron Signed Trade Deals with China

French President Emmanuel Macron had an official visit to China for the first, securing multi-million worth of euro business agreement and Chinese President Xi Jinping acknowledged future relations between France and China.

France was the first western country to seal diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in 1964 and the visit made by Macron indicates high regard between the relationship of China and France. The French leader walked through the Forbidden City along with his wife Brigitte and some students from the French international school.

The talks of the two leaders were all about the “Belt and Road” initiative aimed to improve trade links with China towards central Asia, Europe, and southeast Asia. They also tackled about environmental issues during the visit and Macron stated in Chinese language to “Make our planet great again” in Chinese, as regards to the decision of Donald Trump to pull out the United States from the Paris agreement on climate change. Aside from advancing trade links, Macron tries to reduce the trade deficit of France with China worth €30 billion (35.8 billion USD) and to have a better access towards the Chinese market.

During the signing ceremony, both Presidents signed 50 trade deals which include the strategically key sectors of nuclear energy and aerospace. On the other hand, the aeroplane business Airbus is scheduled to seal a multibillion-euro contract with China and Chinese e-commerce company JD.com disclosed their plans of selling French products to Chinese consumers amounted to €2 billion for the next couple of years.

British Economy Expanded in Q4, says Thinktank

Based on the Thinktank's forecast, the longest period of increasing factory output in Britain over 23 years has led the British economy to reach its fastest pace of growth rate recorded in late 2016. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) outlines the GDP expansion for 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, showing higher figures compared with the 0.4 percent in the previous quarter and further exceeded the latest City projections.

Amit Kara, Head of UK macroeconomics research at NIESR, stated that the activity showed an improvement during the second half of 2017, after a sluggish start in 2018 in which the GDP grew by 0.3 percent in Q1 and Q2.

The Thinktank expects that the strong economic performance of the country accompanied by high inflation rate will prompt the Bank of England to implement interest rate hike by 0.25 points to 0.75% in May. Followed by further growth every six months until 2021, as official borrowing costs gained 2 percent.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) issued a data that indicates the rise in output of UK factories for eighth straight months in November, this achievement was reported in May 1994, driven by the broad upswing of manufacturers in the world economy. The manufacturing output came in 1.4 percent higher in three months until the end of November versus the recent quarter.

As the factory output increased, the overall industrial production also picked up by 0.4 percent which includes products from energy plants, mines, quarries and oil and gas sector. The sudden spell of cold weather in November supported energy production on the back of the warmer climate in October.

The manufacturers of machinery and equipment fabrication contributed major growth, as projects under renewable energy recovered coupled with other costly works. The optimistic prospects for the industrial production provided 14 percent of the GDP result, which helped negate the stumbling growth in consumer expenditure due to rising cost of imported goods since the Brexit referendum and further depreciated the British pound.

On the other hand, the construction industry remains to have a difficult time for more than five years, showing a 2 percent reduction in three months to November and marked the sixth consecutive period of contraction. However, there was still a slight improvement in November by 0.4 percent amid the decline in the past quarter.

The robust global economy supports the United Kingdom in exporting additional products and services towards different parts of the world. The ONS reported that the UK still have higher imports than exports since in the past but the deficit was reduced by £2.1bn ($2.8bn) in the three months to November. Moreover, economists suggest that growth in Q4 last year would be lower than the predictions of NIESR because of complication in Forties oil pipeline in December.

Australian Confidence Index Surged Again

Based on the ANZ-Roy Morgan survey, the consumer confidence of Australia increased more than four-year high during the first week of the year. While the majority of Australians are enjoying the holidays, the question arises whether or not the surge was actually influenced by the positive confidence levels or the advancement was only temporary.

As a matter of fact, upon the publication of the initial report for 2015, the ANZ mentioned last week that confidence levels suddenly rose after the Christmas-New Year period. This could also probably driven by the fact that Australians are certain about their respective finances as well as to the current condition of the economy. According to the poll held last week, the confidence levels had a strong boost again.

David Plank, ANZ Bank Head of Australian Economics, mentioned that the positive development in the previous week showed a better sentiment in connection with the present financial and economic status, along with the projections for household expenditures.

This helped negate small declines in the sentiment of finances during the year ahead, while the economy in the next five years is predicted to fall by 0.2% and 0.5% respectively, with partial reversal of strong profits according to report last week.

As the current finances subindex picked up, the final component in the survey also showed some optimism on its forecast for consumption with an increase of 3.4 percent.
