2. The Pace Of The Recovery Has Slowed A recovery has begun, but is likely to remain weak. Housing now appears to be stabilizing, although prices are still falling. Overseas partners are recovering, helping exports, but developed economies remain slow. The financial problems in Europe and the earthquake and subsequent nuclear problems in Japan add to risks from overseas. But the dollar weakness will help The fiscal stimulus helped boost the economy, but is being reversed. A government default would increase risk Private nonresidential construction is still weak Consumers aren’t bouncing back as quickly as usual. Another dip into recession is possible if the financial markets lock up again or oil prices jump farther on Middle East turmoil.

3. The Housing Bubble Housing was too affordable, thanks to low mortgage rates Ratio of home price to income hit a record high in We built too many houses at too high prices Starts and sales dropped sharply Defaults have soared, cutting back on willingness to lend Prices fell 32% from their peak, with the price/income ratio below its historical average Starts and sales are recovering But prices are likely to drop back through spring.

9. Synchronized Sinking Industrial countries went into recession in 2008, and into a plunge in the fourth quarter of 2008 Real GDP fell in the U.S., Japan, and Europe Developing countries looked like they might escape Until commodity prices plunged in Q World GDP is recovering, up 4.2% in 2010 from -2.1% in 2009 The most synchronized world recession in history is being followed by a slow, less synchronized recovery Problems in Europe and Japan will further cut developed country growth, with Japan back in recession. But Asia continues to grow strongly

24. Can the Consumer Keep Spending? Consumer spending led recent expansions But wealth is down because home prices have dropped and Stocks are still below their 2007 peak Borrowing is more difficult, and home equity loans much less available Confidence has dropped and unemployment risen Consumers are likely to continue to save more and borrow less High oil prices hurt purchasing power and confidence Stimulus package provided some income boost

Bigger Than The Average Bear A great run from 1982 to 2000 But the secular bear began in 2000 Two largest bear markets since the depression Earnings were negative in 2008 Q4 for first time in history We think the rally will continue But the long-term cycle probably has another bear in it. World stock markets have generally become synchronized As money flows between markets in search of yield

30. Bottom Line: The Economy Will Recover Slowly The recession is the longest and deepest since the 1930s Fiscal stimulus has supported the recovery But recovery is likely to be slow because of financial markets and switch to higher savings If financial markets lock up again Fiscal stimulus ends abruptly Home prices continue to fall And oil prices continue to rise The recession could be longer and deeper With the risk of a “lost decade” similar to Japan in the 1990s
