1 GLOBAL FORECAST Adrian Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, Oxford Economics USA Adrian Cooper will share what he sees as the most important factors that could improve or detract from global economic growth. After providing a look at the global trends in the financial and business sectors, Adrian will paint a forecast by region for the key consuming sectors of manufacturing technology. The conclusion of the presentation includes a specific two and one-half year forecast for machine tools by major countries and by regions within the United States. This forecast will be updated for AMT s winter webinar held in January as well as a spring and summer webinar for AMT members. Now based in New York, Adrian Cooper is the CEO of Oxford Economics, responsible for leading its global economic analysis, forecasting and consultancy business, and overseeing its team of economists and analysts based in Oxford, London, Belfast, Paris, Singapore, the UAE, Philadelphia and New York. He has led Oxford Economics work for a wide array of clients for over 17 years, ranging from policy advice to government departments in all regions of the world to detailed industry analysis and forecasting for Blue Chip companies. Adrian spent the first seven years of his career with HM Treasury, England. During this time, he worked on the analysis of tax and other economic policy changes as part of the preparations for the UK Budget. He was also the coordinator of the government's macroeconomic forecast for two years before joining Oxford Economics.

3 ONE MAJOR CLOUD OVER THE HORIZON THE US FISCAL MESS The 1st October Government Shutdown Oxford Economics expects this to be short-lived, with, therefore, only a minimal impact on the economy The 17th October Debt Ceiling Deadline 3 Failure to raise the statutory debt limit could, conceivably, lead to a massive fiscal contraction. Oxford Economics assumes in its forecast that any failure would also be short-lived, thus limiting the negative impact on the economy MAJOR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS, OCT 18 TO NOV 15 October 23 Social Security benefits $12 billion October 24 Rollover of outstanding federal debt * $57 billion October 31 Rollover of outstanding federal debt * $115 billion October 31 Interest on the debt $6 billion November 1 Medicare benefits $18 billion November 1 Social Security payment $25 billion November 1 Military active pay, retirement, and veterans benefits payments $12 billion November 1 Supplemental Security Income $3 billion November 14 Social Security benefits $12 billion November 15 Interest on the debt $29 billion 4 *No immediate net cost to government Source: Bipartisan Policy Center 2

4 SCENARIO: IMPACT ON GDP 5 A SECOND MAJOR CLOUD OVER THE HORIZON U.S. INTEREST RATES Assuming that the fiscal mess gets sorted out, US interest rates are bound to rise over coming months and years For the US this would reflect a strengthening economy Elsewhere, however, it may be less welcome Witness the unhappy response to some very mild US policy pronouncements earlier this year 6 The Oxford Economics forecast builds in a gradual rise in US bond yields (to 4 per cent by end-216), but assumes there will be no financial market shocks 3

16 THE BRICs - WHY SLOWDOWN? CHINA Short-run: Risks to financial stability due to rising lending, much of it from outside the formal banking system And house prices are sharply up again Yet, a serious financial crisis (cfr. South- East Asia in 1997, or Lehmann Brothers in 28) looks extremely unlikely in a country like China Medium-run: Some slowdown is inevitable High and rising capital-output ratios make a continuing investment-led strategy unviable An appreciating exchange rate squeezes industry Demographic trends are unfavourable 29 And the slowdown seems welcomed by the authorities CAPITAL-OUTPUT RATIOS China 8 6 India United States Note: Data may not be strictly comparable across countries and may, in addition, not be very reliable. 15

18 THE BRICs - WHY SLOWDOWN? BRAZIL Possibly fiscal policy, but not monetary policy or the exchange rate In addition, growth was boosted by high commodity prices and by a consumption boom fuelled by borrowing - neither of these two features is likely to continue But here too, there is a clear need for reform World Bank ease of doing business rankings, 212 United States 4 United Kingdom 7 Germany 2 Japan 24 China Brazil 13 India 132 Congo 181 THE BRICs - WHY SLOWDOWN? RUSSIA Certainly not policy or the exchange rate Clearly weaker commodity prices (commodities account for 85 per cent of exports) Plus very poor governance and massive levels of corruption. Reforms are needed but are highly unlikely World Bank ease of doing business rankings, 212 United States 4 United Kingdom 7 Germany 2 Japan China 91 Russia 112 Brazil 13 India 132 Congo

19 THE BRICs WHAT IS WRONG? China Not that much Russia Pretty much everything (business unfriendliness, oil prices, governance, absence of rule of law, corruption...)

20 JAPAN'S NEW ECONOMIC POLICY Main thrust: double the monetary base in two years : provide a large fiscal stimulus : enact significant reforms Main aims: raise equity prices : lower the exchange rate : raise inflationary expectations : and, ultimately, of course, restore economic growth Main risks: higher government bond yields (though the BoJ will buy massive amounts of longterm bonds) : raising the consumption tax in SOME ENCOURAGING SIGNS 38 19

Auto purchases have been running ahead of the recovery, led by replacement of older vehicles whose high fuel and maintenance costs were no longer sustainable, but there is now likely to be a pause as households anticipate the Fed first tapering, then withdrawing, its monetary support and they enjoy the new light trucks already bought. 26

And production was still well below year-ago levels Thus, the US drag on the global aerospace industry is persisting. Furthermore, Airbus has recently managed to crack the traditionally US dominated Japanese market. 53 Nonetheless, we continue to forecast robust growth in US aerospace production over subsequent years as production is ramped up to meet order backlogs.
