Abstract

For most of the industrialised countries of the world, the first half of 1977 has been a period of relatively slow growth, and very slow adjustment towards the objectives of price stability and full employment. In the United States, however, a stronger recovery is evident: GNP is expected to grow by 5% in 1977, and by perhaps a similar amount in 1978.
