Description:
The world economy experienced an overall slowdown in 2013. Among developed countries, the US and Japan saw their economies grow, albeit at a reduced rate, while and the same cannot be said for the economy of many other developed countries, including some in the euro zone. Among emerging markets and developing countries, reduced demand for their exports and the corresponding adjustments in economic policies resulted in slower growth. A number of issues will be particularly significant in 2014, including but not limited to the European debt crisis, the fiscal straits in some developed countries, trade protectionism and regional security. Slow growth will be the new norm worldwide.
