GEO
September 2023
The key central banks probably reached a notional interest peak at the start of the autumn. They can be expected to start easing monetary policy in the course of 2024. The September GEO also mentions that the global debt burden has fallen slightly according to IMF calculations. The chart in the current issue shows that all the monitored economies except the USA are set to undergo gradual public finance consolidation. The thematic analysis deals mainly with the practical aspects associated with the modelling of the business and financial cycles and presents a comparison of the two cycles for the major global economies – the USA, Japan, the UK, Germany and France.
