Major Market GDP Forecasts, 2016-2020, % PA.
Pre Brexit Post Brexit Diff
China is structurally slowing and rebalancing which is having an impact on the sustainable rate of growth in Singapore, Australia and Hong-Kong. Meanwhile Abenomics is fading in Japan.
The growth rates in the USA and the better performing markets in the USA Eurozone are fairly similar.
In all cases, growth is at or just below the trend rate of growth. No major market is forecast to experience a recession on the base case.

But Confidence In The Base Case Is Unusually Low
WE LIVE IN A HIGHLY UNCERTAIN WORLD
• Powerful deflationary forces
• Elevated leverage
• Massive central bank distortion of asset prices
• Damaged banking system
• Poor demographics
• Heightened social division
FORECASTING UNCERTAINTY
• The OEF only assigns a 45% probability to the base case (historic average c60%)

The UK’s major trading partners – Ireland and the Netherlands – are most affected. CEE markets are vulnerable to risk-sentiment changing due to their dependence on foreign funding of their current accounts. Also the CEE are recipients of EU FDI to which the UK is a large contributor.

The Citigroup Economic Surprise Indices are objective and quantitative measures of economic news. They are defined asweighted historical standard deviations of data surprises (actual releases vs Bloomberg survey median). A positivereading of the Economic Surprise Index suggests that economic releases have on balance [been] beating consensus. Theindices are calculated daily in a rolling three-month window. The weights of economic indicators are derived fromrelative high-frequency spot FX impacts of 1 standard deviation data surprises. The indices also employ a time decayfunction to replicate the limited memory of markets.

European CRE Markets Are At Risk From Another Political Surprise
Source: National governments.
Country Date Risk
Spain June 26th 2016 Parliamentary elections could bring in a left-wing populist anti-austerity party promising Catalonia an independence referendum. This would severely undermine both the stability of the economy but the investment case of buying into a structurally reforming market.
Czech Republic October 2016 Two rounds of Senatorial elections in a country notorious for its opposition to joining the Euro but very close links to the Germany.
Italy TBD October 2016
A constitutional referendum mandating massive reform of the Senatorial system to enable the reformist Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to initiate badly needed structural reforms. A loss would be seen as bad for the economic outlook. If Renzi lost he would likely resign as PM.
Germany TBD February 2017
Presidential elections – ceremonial role but as Austria showed this could still provide a valve for a protest vote with the far right Alternative For Germany (AfD) polling well.
Netherlands By 15th March 2017
Parliamentary elections. Geert Wilders’ far right Freedom Party is vocally calling for a NEXIT referendum – immigration a key issue.
France 23rd April & 11th
June 2017Presidential election. Marine le Pen’s far right National Front almost guaranteed to go through to the second-round run-off – the question is whether she could actually win. She will likely campaign on the promise of a FREXIT referendum.
Hungary TBD April 2017 A further large majority for the far right President Victor Orban is expected. Orban has already said he is considering a referendum on leaving the Schengen Area rather than the EU as a whole, but free movement of labour is seen as a non-negotiable issue by the European Commission. Note Orban’s close ties to Putin.

BREXIT may see some capital flows switch from London to major Eurozone capital cities. However, with the added problems of the Italian banking crisis and terrorist attacks, capital could move out of the region altogether.
