The advance estimate of real gross domestic product growth decelerated to 0.6% at an annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2007, following a strong 4.9% gain in the third quarter. Over the four quarters of 2007, the economy expanded by 2.5%, similar to the 2.6% gain recorded during 2006. Fluctuations in energy and food prices were the key factors behind changes in the overall inflation rate in 2007. In the 12 months through December 2007, the consumer price index increased 4.1%, well above the 2.5% pace of the previous 12 months.

This study examined the relationship between stock market index and selected macroeconomic variables during the post-financial liberalization (pre-financial crisis) and post-financial crisis in Thailand. In the empirical analysis, unit root, cointegration and Granger causality tests were performed. The post-financial liberalization results showed that the stock market index, the industrial production index, money supply, exchange rate, and world oil prices contained a unit root and were integrated of order one. Johansen cointegration test was then employed. The results showed at least one cointegrating or long-run relation between the stock market index and a set of macroeconomic variables. Money supply had a positive impact on the stock market index while the industrial production inde...

Yet when the EU finally woke up to the crisis facing Eastern Europe, sentiment regarding Turkey remained surprisingly positive. Storm clouds have been brewing over the wider economy, though. Loans have never been plentiful in this under-leveraged economy -- Turkey's loan-to-GDP ratio is 36%, against around 80% in Romania and Bulgaria -- and with risk aversion growing, lending has tightened more than ever. Turkey will also have to tackle, once again, the thorny issue of EU relations, which in recent months have been on the back burner. The mood regarding negotiations between the Turkish and Greek Cypriots has da...
