Fullbuster Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey Koro, yesterday one of my friends posted this on Facebook and I thought maybe you would like it: "Economic growth looks relatively healthy in North and South America, according to a basket of forecasts compiled by engineering and infrastructure consulting firm WorleyParsons. While Europe is in the doldrums and growth in Asia slows, the Americas are expected to expand, according to a consensus of opinion from the International Monetary Fund, Latin Focus, Trading Economics, BBVA, Focus Economics, JP Morgan, and the Royal Bank of Montreal. 2014 2015 Colombia 4.6% 4.8% Chile 4.6% 5% Costa Rica 3.7% 4.3% Mexico 2.9% 3.5% Panama 7% 6.5% Peru 5.5% 4.9% U.S. 2.3% 3.3% Canada 2.3% 2.0% Argentina -0.7% -1.0% Brazil 1.3% 1.6% Venezuela -0.5% -1.0% The data was part of a presentation by John Pauling, vice president of transportation for WorleyParsons, at a port industry conference in Tampa. It suggests that trade within the United States and Latin America will also grow modestly, considering that almost two-thirds of global Gross Domestic Product is based on trade." Thanks Henry However these numbers are weird, particularly for Venezuela and Brazil. It's confirmed : Venezuela's GDP lost 3% in 2014 and is expected to lose 7% in 2015. Brazil grew by 0.2% in 2014 is expected to grow by 0,3% in 2015 (the Brazilian government expects 0.8% but it's too optimistic) so maybe these forecasts hav been made several months ago. Latin America grew by 1.3% in 2014 and is expected to grow by 2.2% in 2015, it's slow for such a region but it's mainly because of Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina given the other nations are relatively dynamic. Apart from that it's fine, the US grew by 2.4% in 2014 by the way and the IMF expects +3.6% in 2015 (it's huge for a developed nation) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Barcelona in 15th place!!! Awesome!!!! better than Madrid I knew you would say that Paris is 23rd so this is why you don't see it, this city is really stepping back in so many ways... I'm surprised to see a US city in the top 10, New York really improved in the last 20 years, it's unbelievable! Tokyo 1st is not a surprise, Japan is such a peaceful place with so nice people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Henry It's quite a slow weekend this time, Penguins will probably end between 17m-20m, my forecasts were right about this one So Exodus will end around $24m, it's really not bad at all. BH6 already out of the top 10 Night at the Museum 3 is the highest-grossing movie of the franchise now $14m is impressive for Loucas pra Casar, a rarely occuring good performance for a local movie.
