The IMF Reveals Just How Bad It Is



The above graphic key isn't easy to read but this article by Fraser Nelson explains all and includes a download link to the IMF report. A must read.

According to the IMF the recession is far worse than previous ones. Page 22 is given to the 'Potential Spillovers from the UK Financial System to the Rest of the World' - worrying data.

I shall leave any analysis to readers who enjoy numbers and statistics.

The green shoots are those Jim picks out of his ugly nose!

Oh, dear, am I becoming snotophobic?

I wish this could be discounted as just a spot of Tory scaremongering from the Spectator, but alas it seems that the economic situation is very dire indeed. The blog to follow is this one (apologies if I've mentioned it before). Take the positive view - you'll probably die of swine flu before you have a chance to starve in the depression.

P, think yourself lucky you can twist round far enough to see. :)

You surely didn't believe green shoots?

Auch OR, I've just had a late breakfast. :(

Ooops just saw your other sentence. May a wee bit OR, but we understand your obsession. :)

No Vronsky you haven't mentioned that blog before. I think it warrants a little promotion so I'll do my best and thanks for the link.

Oh I'm thinking positive and I shan't be in the queue for the vaccine. I shall take my chances in pleasant surroundings with my own germs.

Thanks for that SR - I've lost count of the number of warnings the IMF has given to this govt - all ignored, of course.

subrosa said...

Dandy indeed Monty. I don't mind that label - shorter distance for my hopes to fall.

GV if Fraser's post gets going round, then it may take off and waken one or two.
