G8 downbeat over recovery
PEOPLE in the G8 countries have become more pessimistic over economic prospects, according to a study seen today by City A.M.
A mere 14 per cent of people across the G8 expect their countries’ economies to be stronger in six months time, an international poll by Ipsos MORI has showed.
Two years ago, this figure measuring short term optimism was slightly higher at 20 per cent.
The US is bucking the trend, however, with a quarter of people (25 per cent) anticipating a stronger economy in six months’ time – up from 16 per cent in October.
