Washington. Una tasa de crecimiento del 2% sería motivo de celebración en muchas de las economías industrializadas del mundo, por ejemplo en la eurozona, para la que el Fondo Monetario Internacional ha pronosticado una contracción del 0,4% este año y una expansión de solo el 0,2% en 2013. Sin embargo, en Estados Unidos, donde el crecimiento económico en los 20 años anteriores a la devastadora recesión de 2007-09 fue de...

WASHINGTON -- The latest snapshot of economic growth shows the U.S. recovery remains tepid.
Growth in the July-September quarter climbed slightly but was still too weak to stir significantly more hiring. The pace of expansion rose to a 2 percent annual rate from 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter, led by more consumer and government spending.
Voters who are still undecided about the presidential election aren't likely to be swayed by Friday's...

The International Monetary Fund’s latest World Economic Outlook makes for gloomy reading. Growth projections have been revised downward almost everywhere, especially in Europe and the big emerging markets such as China.

Indeed, the pace of private sector job growth has been much stronger in this recovery than after the 2001 recession and is comparable to the resurgence after the 1990-1991 slump.
In the last 31 months, private sector employment rose by 5.2 million and the unemployment rate is now below 8% for the first time in nearly four years. But it is still more than two percentage points above the long-run value...

WASHINGTON — At first glance, a batch of U.S. economic data released Thursday looked dispiriting. Companies slashed orders for factory goods. The government cut its most recent growth estimate. And fewer people signed contracts to buy homes.
Yet a peek beneath the headlines, and a separate report on applications for unemployment aid, suggested that the economy is sturdier than it might appear.

La directora del FMI, Christine Lagarde, ha acusado a EE.UU. y Europa de impedir la recuperación de la economía mundial, una imputación que los expertos consideran bien fundada.
Según la funcionaria, la situación en ambos casos impide que se tomen las decisiones de inversión y contratación que ayudarían a crecer al mundo. Lagarde también alerta de la posibilidad de que Estados Unidos vuelva a caer en una recesión. Los expertos comparten...
