Maybe you would chose to, in your indefinate wisdom, provide some facts rather than have me waste the 10 seconds of my life I spent reading that post.

Or are you only capable of your normal ad hominem attacks?

What are they doing that is different to us. Thats the key.

To be honest, I haven't got the foggiest, all I do know is the media a couple of months ago were telling us we were uniquely placed to come out of the recession first. To which I had a rant!

they claim through increases in government and private consumption and construction,

i think that these are estimates too - it's a bit of a surprise. markets love it.

I think you misunderstood my post.

I was referring to house123 having a good froth.

In that case, I appologise, Joe. I thought you meant that the increase of 1.5 trillion dollars in ECB was incorrect, and that you would provide the correct figures.

The data the ECB produces is very, very obscure - I would say almost intentionally so - and although I spent a little bit of time going through it,it is entirely possible if you were to post contradictory info you would be correct.

Brown will have to think of a new sound byte rather than 'This is a global recession'. Not any more it's not.

France and Germany out of recession (but we're still suffering)

Personally if germany/france fell further, & have now risen doesn't that mean their economy is behaving more volatile than ours?

I think I'd prefer a gradual evolution out of recession, than a volatile exit/economy?

Germany fell further but not France.
Looking at the graph, we are coming out of the recession slower than anybody else. Is that the "miracle" economy?

As a matter of interest, which of the countries have revised their GDP figures, and which havent? I know out Q4 '08 and Q1 '09 were both substantially revised down, and so comparisons of unrevised and revised data may be inacurate.

I think YoY it's all looking about the same, isn't it? We have all lost between about 5.5 to 6% of GDP, except the Yanks who seem to have lost only about 4%...I suppose this begs the question is that activity gone for good?
