SEB (STO:SEBA) The ongoing credit crisis will continue to dominate the global economy, as tighter credit conditions and falling home prices hamper growth. Next year, growth in the OECD will be the lowest since the early 1990s. Looking ahead, emerging economies will also be affected to a greater degree by secondary effects from the slowdown in industrialised countries. Overall, the world economy will grow by 3 per cent in 2009, which is close to a recession at the global level. Inflation will gradually turn downward, and combined with ever weaker economic conditions this will open the door for interest rate cuts in Europe on a broad front in 2009.
