According to a report by Swedbank's Economic Research Department:
- Estonia's GDP growth slowed to 4.5% in the fourth quarter of 2011, down from 8.5% in the previous quarter, due to a decline in export growth.
- While domestic demand continued strengthening in the fourth quarter, contributing 7.7% to overall growth, net exports were negative for the second consecutive quarter as import growth exceeded export growth.
- The report forecasts Estonia's economic growth will slow to 2.7% in 2012, supported by domestic demand, with investment growth driven by public sector projects and private sector investment expected to increase more in 2013.
Latvian GDP grew 5.6% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2011, driven mainly by strong growth in industry and exports. However, the analyst expects GDP growth to slow in the second half of the year due to weaker demand from Europe. While household consumption growth has been stable due to improving employment and wages, rising prices are limiting growth in purchasing power. The analyst maintains GDP growth forecasts for 2011 at 4.2% but acknowledges European economic slowdown will likely reduce Latvian export performance and investment activity in the coming quarters.
- Inflation in Estonia slowed to 4% in April from 4.4% in March, in line with expectations. Housing costs contributed nearly half of inflation, rising 10.7% year-over-year, while transport costs increased due to higher fuel prices.
- Wage growth has not kept up with rising costs for households, but inflation is expected to slow further in the coming months due to weaker domestic demand. However, sectoral unemployment could push up wages in some sectors and feed back into prices.
- The forecast sees consumer prices rising 3.8% on average for the year, with higher inflation in the first half and slower growth in the second half due to weaker domestic demand and higher
After declining sharply in 2008-2009, Lithuanian exports of goods started recovering in late 2009 and growth picked up significantly in 2010, with exports of goods increasing 28.4% in the first three quarters of the year. Exports have largely relied on Lithuania's export-oriented manufacturing sector, including foodstuffs, plastics, metals, machinery, and equipment. While the revival in manufacturing exports is positive, continued strong performance is not guaranteed given anticipated slowdowns in old EU member states. Higher value-added industries have greater long-term potential but Lithuania will remain reliant on traditionally strong lower and medium value sectors in the near future. Exports of services have lagged exports of goods, growing more modestly.
The Estonian Economy, No. 1 - June 21, 2012Swedbank
The Estonian economy is expected to see more stable growth in 2012, led by strengthening domestic demand and investments. In the first quarter of 2012, GDP growth slowed to 3.7% year-over-year as export growth declined and imports increased. Private consumption growth remains strong, supported by improving labor market conditions. Investment growth is projected to be robust in 2012, driven by public sector investments financed by EU funds and revenues from carbon quotas, as well as capacity constraints in manufacturing inducing private investments. Exports are expected to grow more slowly in 2012 as demand from trade partners softens.

The Lithuanian economy grew at a slower pace of 6.3% in the second quarter of 2011, driven by lower investments and completion of the inventory restocking process. Unemployment declined sharply to 15.6% in the second quarter but remains high, while industrial production growth also slowed. Retail trade growth slowed in July due to lower car sales, and confidence indicators declined slightly in August due to concerns about the global economic environment. Overall growth is expected to continue at a slower pace for the rest of 2011 as demand uncertainties remain.

The Lithuanian economy remained resilient in November despite weakening demand abroad. While manufacturing growth slowed, it continued to expand, and retail trade grew at its fastest pace since recovery began. Strong growth in the fourth quarter should help public finances as budget collection has lagged targets this year. However, both foreign and domestic demand are expected to slow in the coming year, easing inflation pressures.

- The UK economy benefits substantially from EU membership and trade, with UK exports of goods and services to the EU representing over 10% of GDP. Leaving the EU could disrupt these trade and investment relationships.
- Immigration from the EU has increased in recent years and played an important role in UK employment and GDP growth, while EU immigrants contribute positively to public finances. Brexit could reduce these immigration flows with economic consequences.

- Lithuania experienced strong GDP growth of 6.6% in Q3 2011, but growth is expected to moderate as the global economy slows.
- Retail trade continued double-digit growth in September, though industrial production growth decreased from 14.6% to 6.9% in 2011.
- Growth expectations have worsened due to the ongoing eurozone debt crisis, which will negatively impact exports and business/household confidence.
The Latvian Economy - No 9, December 8, 2011Swedbank
1) Export growth has been the main driver of Latvia's economic recovery in recent years, though future export growth is likely to slow due to problems in Europe.
2) Import growth has followed export growth closely as imports are needed to support exporting sectors, so import growth is also expected to decelerate.
3) While trade deficits may increase slowly, they are expected to remain financeable and not threaten the sustainability of Latvia's current account deficit.
The Lithuanian economy grew 3.9% in the first quarter of 2012, driven by investment and household consumption. Unemployment rose temporarily to 14.5% due to seasonality and global uncertainty. While industrial production grew 6.8% in April, manufacturing growth excluding refined products slowed significantly to 1.7%. Retail trade growth also declined as consumption growth aligned with real wage growth. Unemployment is projected to decrease for the rest of the year, but remain elevated due to high participation and uncertainty.

The Swedish Economy No.7 - October 25, 2011 Swedbank
The Swedish economy is slowing due to concerns over the European debt crisis and weaker growth in the US. The document makes three key points:
1) Sweden's economic growth forecast for 2011 has been revised downward from 4.3% to 3.9% due to slowing export demand from Europe and the US.
2) Confidence indicators among Swedish households and businesses have dropped sharply in recent months, and consumption and investment are expected to grow more slowly.
3) Swedish exports began declining in the second quarter, industrial production and order bookings have slowed significantly, and many companies plan to cut back on production and hiring in light of weakening global economic conditions.

It discusses that life today is better than ever before with fewer people living in extreme poverty, higher literacy rates, and decreased child mortality. It also notes that China's economic rise has been impressive as its GDP has grown significantly in recent decades, though this is partially due to China returning to its historic large share of global GDP. Globalization benefits the global middle class and very rich the most while the very poor and middle class in advanced economies have benefited less. Many feel left behind by globalization and economic changes, affecting political outcomes. Climate change also poses physical and transition risks to the economy and financial system.

The Swedish Economy No.2 - March 29, 2012 Swedbank
The Swedish economy contracted significantly in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to declining external demand, but signs of improvement emerged in early 2012. While GDP growth for 2010 was revised upward, growth in 2011 was weaker than previously reported. Lower productivity growth and household savings than estimated earlier pose challenges for economic analysis and policymaking.
The efforts to stabilize the Moldovan economy after the crisis of 1998 have been largely successful. The country avoided international default as current account position radically improved, cooperation with international financial institutions was re-established and a significant primary fiscal surplus was achieved. As a result, the exchange rate was stabilised and inflation substantially reduced. Moreover, several important structural reforms were implemented and privatisation of key-industries pursued with much more determination than previously. However, only economic growth would bring real solutions to the persistent problems of external and internal imbalances of the Moldovan economy and would allow the country to face its heavy debt burden in the future. Unfortunately, prospects for sustainable growth remain weak, as the most important issues that constrain private entrepreneurship and investments have not been effectively tackled. These issues include: lack of territorial integrity, ineffective legal system, widespread corruption and rent seeking. It is unlikely that these problems can be solved until the Moldovan parliament assumes full ownership of reform process.

1) According to preliminary estimates, Estonia's GDP growth slowed from 3.6% in the first quarter to 2% in the second quarter, with seasonally adjusted quarterly growth at 0.4%.
2) Domestically oriented sectors like construction, ICT, and services contributed most to growth, while manufacturing contributed marginally due to falling export volumes as external demand weakened.
3) Weaker manufacturing results were seen in the electronics sector, where volumes fell 14% in the first half of the year, partially due to high base effects from the previous year, though other sectors like wood products and machinery saw growing production.
- Economic growth in Estonia reached 8.5% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2011, driven primarily by a strong manufacturing sector and private consumption growth.
- While manufacturing contribution is declining due to high bases of comparison, other sectors such as construction and services are contributing more to overall growth.
- Exports grew 24.2% in the third quarter but imports increased even faster, turning the trade balance negative for the first time in four years.
- The economic growth rate is expected to slow in the fourth quarter due to high comparisons and the ongoing eurozone crisis, with private consumption and investments continuing to support the economy.
Flash comment: Estonia - September 7, 2012Swedbank
- According to revised data, Estonia's economic growth slowed to 2.2% in the second quarter from 3.4% in the first, though seasonally adjusted quarterly growth accelerated.
- Domestic demand (6.1% growth) rather than exports drove growth, with high investment (25.8%) but surprisingly weak private consumption (1.9%).
- Construction, retail, and ICT saw the highest sectoral contributions while manufacturing's contribution was negative for the second quarter in a row.
- Revised GDP figures showed a deeper economic crisis and steeper recovery than previously estimated, though first half 2012 growth remained largely the same.

The Estonian economy has been heavily reliant on exports and manufacturing, which drove a rapid recovery from the 2008 recession. However, export growth is expected to slow substantially due to high base effects from previous double-digit growth and signs of weaker global demand. Manufacturing output declined sharply in September, with computer and electronics sectors dropping over 40%, pointing to falling export order books. While exports still grew 30% annually in September, much lower growth is expected in coming months due to base effects and softening external demand.
Economic growth in Estonia slowed slightly in the first quarter of 2011 to 3.9% from 4.5% in the previous quarter. The construction sector contributed strongly to growth, supported by public sector building projects, while retail growth also remained strong. However, manufacturing output declined due to weaker external demand, negatively impacting overall growth. While domestic demand is recovering, export growth is slowing faster than import growth. The economic outlook expects strengthening domestic demand and stabilization in manufacturing to support overall growth of 2.7% for the year, though electronics exports will continue dominating.
The Estonian Economy, No. 3 - August 14, 2012Swedbank
The Estonian economy newsletter discusses investments in Estonia. Enterprise investments grew rapidly in 2011 due to recovering foreign demand and exports, though growth has slowed. Investments were largest in manufacturing and energy. Public sector investments are planned 28% larger in 2012, funded by EU funds and CO2 quotas. Residential real estate transactions and prices have grown for two years due to construction costs and demand. Investments are expected to continue growing but at a slower pace.
The Estonian Economy newsletter provides the following information:
1) Enterprise investments grew rapidly in 2011 but have slowed in 2012, with manufacturing slowing but energy growing strongly. Investments are being funded more through companies' own funds than loans.
2) Public sector investments are planned to grow 28% in 2012, funded mostly from EU funds and carbon quota sales.
3) Residential real estate transactions and prices have grown steadily for two years, driven by rising costs and demand, though people are relying more on own funds than loans due to low rates. Investments are expected to continue growing if economic conditions remain positive.
The Lithuanian Economy, No.2, 9 March/2011Swedbank
The Lithuanian economic sentiment indicator reached its lowest point in the first half of 2009 but has been gradually improving since then, though it remains in negative territory, indicating continued pessimism. The recovery of sentiment across different sectors has been uneven - while services confidence has been positive since early 2010, construction confidence remains weak at -40 points. Consumer confidence increased in the first half of 2010 but has stalled more recently due to high inflation and slowing wage and jobs growth. Overall the economic sentiment recovery is noticeable but gradual as structural unemployment remains high and domestic demand is still subdued.
- Latvia's GDP grew 6.9% annually in Q1 2012, up slightly from the previous quarter's growth rate of 1%. This exceeded the initial estimate of 6.8% growth.
- Investments and exports increased substantially, driving overall growth, while household consumption and government spending also increased.
- The construction industry saw the strongest growth of 28.5%, followed by manufacturing at 16.5%, as public infrastructure and private facility investments increased.
- While Latvian growth is expected to slow due to weakening European economic activity, the better than expected Q1 GDP may lead analysts to revise the country's full-year growth forecast upward from the current estimate of 2.5%.
- In the second quarter of 2012, Lithuania's GDP growth slowed to 2.1% year-over-year, below expectations, with quarterly growth of 0.4%.
- The slowdown was partly due to the closure of an oil refinery for maintenance, which makes up a quarter of Lithuanian industry. Business inventory contractions also weighed on growth.
- Outlook for Lithuania depends largely on developments in the euro zone, where recent events have not been encouraging but ECB actions are expected to relieve tensions and improve confidence. The bank maintains its GDP growth forecasts of 3.3% for 2012 and 4.3% for 2013.
Flash Comment: Lithuania - January 30, 2012Swedbank
Growth in Lithuania decelerated sharply in the fourth quarter of 2011, with GDP contracting 0.9% compared to the previous quarter. Industrial production fell 0.8% over the same period last year, and investments were hurt by deteriorating confidence. However, for the full year 2011, Lithuania's economy grew 5.8% as all sectors expanded. Going forward, the recession in the eurozone is expected to negatively impact Lithuania's exports and confidence, but GDP growth of 3.3% is still forecast for 2012 as household consumption and investments drive growth, supported by falling unemployment.
Flash comment: Estonia - September 8, 2011Swedbank
- GDP growth in Estonia reached 8.4% year-over-year and 1.7% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter driven by strong exports and investments, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
- Exports grew 32% year-over-year while investments increased 15% due to companies raising production capacities and improving efficiency. Imports also increased 32% to support export growth.
- While household consumption grew 4%, savings rates may be weakening and unofficial incomes or consumption habits may be changing as durable goods consumption increased 34%.
- Additional key growth sectors included transport, construction, and tourism-related services, while real estate and financial activities declined.
- Second half growth is expected to be
The Lithuanian economy is showing signs of recovery, though investments remain weak. While corporate profits are growing, investments in fixed assets continue to decline sharply from their pre-crisis levels. However, some early signs of recovery in machinery and equipment investments emerged in the second quarter of 2010. Looking forward, improving business confidence and rising capacity utilization rates signal that investments will need to increase next year to maintain competitiveness, facilitated by retained earnings as credit availability remains constrained. The government also plans deep cuts to investment spending in 2011, shifting the burden to the private sector.
The document summarizes wage growth in Estonia in the first quarter of 2012. Average monthly gross wages increased 6.9% year-over-year, partially due to a 20% rise in irregular bonuses. Wage growth was strongest in the energy, construction, and manufacturing sectors. Real wage growth accelerated to 2.4% due to slower price growth. The chief economist expects real wages to grow 1.8% on average for the year, with productivity and cost control dampening wage growth but shortages in some sectors continuing to push wages up.
- Latvian GDP grew 5.5% in 2011, driven primarily by exports and investments which were up 9.1% and 25.6% respectively.
- In Q4 2011, GDP growth slowed to 1.1% from 1.5% in Q3, with investments and exports continuing to power the economy.
- While risks have declined, eurozone issues remain a challenge, leading economists to forecast slower GDP growth of 2% for Latvia in 2012 as export growth moderates.
Real wage growth in Estonia decelerated to 1.1% in the second quarter of 2012, down from 2.4% in the first quarter. Nominal wage growth slowed to 5% annually, while inflation remained higher than wage increases. Wages increased the most in construction, arts and entertainment, and accommodation and food services due to strong domestic demand and labor shortages. Manufacturing wages rose 4% as qualified labor became scarce. The economic research department expects average gross wages to increase 6.5% for the year, with real wage growth of 2.3%, though higher inflation could limit real wage growth.

China's economy is slowing but remains strong compared to other economies. Growth is projected to be above 8% in
2012-2013, and inflation is decreasing. However, China is vulnerable to external shocks, particularly a severe recession
in Europe which could sharply reduce China's growth. The government should use fiscal policy, through the budget
rather than banks, to counter economic weakness from abroad. Rebalancing China's economy to rely less on
investment and more on private consumption is also important.

The Swedish Economy No.8 - November 30, 2011 Swedbank
The Swedish economy experienced strong GDP growth in the third quarter but indicators show weakening underlying growth dynamics. Exports continue to grow but are reliant on slowing global demand while domestic demand is cautious. The labor market is cooling with rising unemployment and layoffs as collective bargaining negotiations face challenges of weak wage growth and a slowing economy. Overall the Swedish economy remains stable for now but faces risks from a weakening global economy and declining confidence.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
