Eurozone unemployment hits 10-yearhigh of 9.5pc
AlP, Brumls
The unemployment rate in the 16 euro countries climbed to a 10-year high of 9.5 percent in May as companies cut jobs to survive Europe's worst post-war recession, according to EU data on Thursday.
Some 273,000 jobs were lost across the eurozone in May as the unemployment rate rose to the highest point since May 1999, the European Union s Eurostat data agency estimated.
"Deep and extended economic contraction, depressed business confidence and deteriorating profitability is pushing unemployment up sharply across the eurozone," said economist I toward Archer at consultants II IS Global Insight
Although activity in the recession-hit European economy is beginning to pick up, many companies are still shedding workers to adjust to slack demand for their goods and services in Europe and abroad.
The May eurozone unemployment rate was up from 9.3 percent in April and 7.4 percent in May 2008.
Meanwhile, in the 27 nation EU the unemployment rate rose in May to 8.9 percent, hitting the highest level since June 2005 as 385,000 jobs were lost.
Eurostat estimated that in total 21.5 million people were unemployed across the EU in May, of which 15.0 million were in the euro area.
Indian economy may grow 7pc, expansion hinges on US
AFP, New Delhi
India's economy could grow more than 7.0 percent this year, but the expansion will rely on a recovery in the United States and the global economy as a whole, the government saidThursday.
"The speed at which the Indian economy returns to a high growth path in the short-term depends on a revival of the global economy, particularly the US economy," it said in its annual Economic Survey tabled in parliament.
Growth could be as little as 6.25 percent if there are delays in a US turnaround, the report said.
India's 1.2 trillion dollar economy expanded 6.7 percent in the year ended March 31, the slowest pace since 2003.
The Finance Ministry survey said a return to the level of nine percent annual growth that India enjoyed prior to the global financial meltdown could only be achieved with sweeping economic reforms.
"India should be back on the new trend growth path of 8.5 to 9 percent per annum provided the critical policy and institutional bottlenecks are removed," the report said.
For the current fiscal year, the report estimated growth of between 7.0-7.75, but stressed the importance of reining in India's fiscal deficit which ballooned to 6.2 percent last year as the result of government spending aimed at protecting the economy from the global downturn.
Merkel: G8 alone can't solve world's problems
AFP, Berlin
The Group of Eight industrialised powers (G8) is no longer the appropriate forum to thrash out the world s problems, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday.
Speaking in the German parliament ahead of next week's G8 meeting in the Italian city of L'Aquila, Merkel said: "The summit in L’Aquila will make clear that this G8 format is no longer sufficient"
"We are seeing that the world is growing together and that the problems that we face cannot be solved by the industrialised countries alone," she added.
While the G8 still has a role to play in debating solutions to global problems, decisions should be taken in the Group of 20. which includes fast-growing nations such as China and Brazil, she said.
"I think the G20 should be the format that ... takes decisions on the future," she said.
The first day of the summit will be restricted to leaders from the traditional G8 -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States.
ECB governors huddle under dark clouds of deflation
AFP, Luxembourg
European Central Bank policymakers met on Thursday in Luxembourg as deflation clouds rolled over the recessionhit 16-nation eurozone.
The ECB governing council was expected to hold the bloc's main interest rate steady at an all-time low level of 1.0 percent until the effects of unprecedented action to boost lending take hold.
"Economic and monetary conditions currently prevailing in the eurozone suggest a status quo on rates,” Natixis economist Cedric Thellier said amid signs of a possible pickup in activity late this year and after record ECB loans last week.
In Sweden, which is not a eurozone member, the central bank said on Thursday it would cut its key interest rate to a new record low point of 0.25 percent to boost that country's economy.
