Economic Update


"We continue to expect global GDP growth of about 4% to 4.5% for both 2010 and 2011. The global growth rate may be close to the upper part of that range in 2010 due to the strong growth which has already taken place during the first few months of 2010, while the global growth rate in 2011 may be close to the lower part of the range, given recent indications of a slower pace of expansion in many countries. We expect sustained expansion worldwide."
