World In 2009 -
Predictions we got right
Predicting the future is always uncertain however well informed you are. Here are just some of our recent predictions that proved to be right:
UK Economy:
“The British economy will suffer its first recession for 18 years.”
“The budgetary crisis of 2009 will prove just as damaging to Labour’s credibility as a governing party able both to deliver high public spending and to keep the nation’s finances in good shape.”
Governance:
“The shift in power to the BRIC countries will quicken: those countries expect a bigger say in how the world will be run.”
Nuclear:
“Talk about (nuclear) abolition is going to grow louder. And the talkers will not be only the usual dreamers. Some hard-nosed practitioners of real politic will be joining the fray.”
Recession:
“The rich countries face recession, with all that comes with it: bankruptcies, belt-tightening and rising unemployment”
Unemployment:
"[American] unemployment will rise to 7%, perhaps higher”
Interest:
"the fed will lower interest rates below 1%”
Trillion:
''America's budget deficit is projected to be as high as $1 trillion”
