Global Forecast for Machine Tools - OXFORD ECONOMICS (2016)

Financial woes force further downgrades In recent months, we have seen signs of global economic growth weakening into 2016. Indeed, the year started with sharp declines in stock markets which were prompted by renewed concerns about China and its currency as it seeks to target a basket of currencies, not just the US dollar.

Furthermore, the latest trends in the global PMI for manufacturing point to slow growth, at best, ahead and there are unwelcome signs that this is feeding through to the services sector. Despite concerns remaining about the health of the Chinese economy and extent to which investment is slowing down, many of the downgrades to economic growth have actually been in developed economies (with the noteworthy exception of Brazil).
