Abstract

In the third quarter of 1992 quarterly GDP/GNP growth averaged -0.1% in the main four world economies. The position of the USA improved but growth slowed dramatically in Japan and Germany. This analysis sets out growth rates for each country and provides a provisional estimate for the USA and the UK in the fourth quarter. Growth rates for these two are the normally quoted annualized quarterly growth rates.
