Concepts
1. Read the following paragraph and copy and paste the sentence which contains the central idea:
2. Read the following paragraph and copy and paste the sentence which contains the central idea:
“The strength in global growth is broad-based across countries. Exhibit 3 shows that growth has recently exceeded its post-crisis average across almost all major DM and EM countries. Among advanced economies, the three-month moving average of the CAI has been particularly strong in the Euro area and Sweden (around 2pp above their post-crisis average), Japan (1.3pp) and the US (1.1pp). A number of EM economies have recently outpaced their post-crisis average, although growth is likely still below potential in a number of emerging economies.”

“Despite the nascent productivity rebound, slack is diminishing sharply across the advanced economies. The most straightforward sign is that the aggregate unemployment rate across advanced economies has fallen almost back to pre-crisis levels, as shown in Exhibit 8. As a result, our output gap estimates in Exhibit 9 suggest that most advanced economies are now near full employment. We find that the US and UK have already slightly moved past full capacity and Japan’s output gap is closing quite rapidly. Significant slack remains in the Euro area as a whole, but spare capacity is concentrated in the south (especially Spain and Italy) as Germany has already moved slightly past full employment. Likewise, a number of the smaller, open countries have started to overheat as the global cycle has picked up. We estimate that Sweden, Canada and New Zealand are already operating beyond full capacity. Output gaps in Australia, Switzerland and Norway are still negative, but closing quite rapidly.”
