AMERICAS

Mexico

Mexico’s economy expanded less than analysts estimated for the eighth time in 10 quarters as a rebound in growth stalled in September on weak domestic demand.

Gross domestic product rose 2.2% from a year earlier, compared with a 1.6% expansion in the second quarter, the national statistics institute said. The median estimate of 24 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for growth of 2.3%. The IGAE indicator, a proxy for GDP that was also reported today, fell 0.1% from a month earlier in September, the second straight decline.

Banco de Mexico, led by Governor Agustin Carstens, cut its growth forecast range this week, saying indicators of domestic demand such as consumer confidence remain weak even as exports have picked up. Latin America’s second-largest economy is struggling to rebound from 1.4% growth last year, the slowest expansion since the 2009 recession.

“The economy has no momentum going into the fourth quarter,” Carlos Capistran, the chief Mexico economist for Bank of America Corp. in Mexico City, said in an e-mailed response to questions. “Services and industry remain weak.”…The remaining text is not included in this sample.

Thailand

Thailand cut its outlook for the fourth time this year after its economy grew much less than expected in the July-September quarter, hit by a contraction in exports and tourism.

The surprisingly weak outlook has raised doubts the junta can quickly turn the economy around even after pledging to roll out infrastructure projects and other steps to boost spending.

Southeast Asia's second-largest economy grew 1.1% in the third quarter from the prior three months, and 0.6% from a year earlier, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) said.   The remaining text is not included in this sample.

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

Eurozone

The 18-country Eurozone eked out only weak growth in the third quarter, underlining how Europe is still struggling to escape its six-year slump.

Expectations have become so bleak lately that analysts welcomed the Eurozone’s annualized growth rate of 0.6% in the last quarter as a positive surprise. Germany barely grew, France grew but largely because companies built up inventories, and Italy fell back into recession.

The bloc’s gross domestic product remains more than 2% below its level before the 2008 global financial crisis—at a time when growth in other advanced economies such as the U.S. and UK is finally strengthening.

The Eurozone economy expanded last quarter at a sluggish rate, underscoring concerns that the region is stuck in a rut of declining investment and high unemployment.   The remaining text is not included in this sample.
