We are moving toward a global economy. One way of approaching that is to pull the covers over your head. Another is to say: It may be more complicated - but that's the world I am going to live in, I might as well be good at it.
People want economy and they will pay any price to get it.
The potential for even higher energy prices is a risk to the economic outlook. The economy has digested the higher prices gracefully so far. But it can get a bit of indigestion if prices move higher.
The perception is turning toward the fact that the economy is slowing and we can still continue to grow even if the economy grows at 5 percent.
We are seeing an evolving new international economy. We are in the process of learning how it works as we are doing it, ... Fortunately, the trauma that came out of the Russian default created so much risk aversion ... we probably have time to be deliberative in determining how the (international monetary) structure ought to be structured.
We are poised for a strong economic recovery. New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in America. Federal and state activities are in place to design, develop, construct, and enhance protection from flooding. We have withstood major storms before, and will appropriately address the infrastructure so that this type of devastation never occurs again.
There are some big concerns about the U.S. economy and the stock market will struggle a bit. Interest rates do matter.
There is no question that the economy is slowing, but it's not exactly shrinking, either, ... We are seeing the first tentative signs of slowing, but you have to remember that we are starting at a very high base of growth. The Fed will still err on the side of caution and restraint.
Until the market sees some clear evidence that the economy is starting to slow, not much is going to happen. There is cash out there on the sidelines but it's an apathetic feeling out there.
We boosted economic growth in one quarter, but that doesn't mean it's sustainable. We still have a long-range view that the economy is changing, and consumers will have to adjust to it.
We believe we can reach the 20% target with support from all sections of the economy and society.
What's on peoples' minds is the possibility of a slowdown of the U.S. economy given the accumulation of rate hikes in the past year and a half and on higher oil prices,
U.S. stocks have settled down, but data on the economy is getting worse. Investors are increasingly worried the U.S. economy will fall off a cliff and pull Japan over with it.
With the higher energy prices, the economy overall has stayed stronger than we would have thought.
We're just now realizing how badly off the economy was in the second quarter, ... The wider trade gap, along with the weakness we saw in the business inventory numbers that came out this week and weaker construction spending, will probably result in a second-quarter revised GDP number that will be zero or even slightly negative. It will be an eye-opening number, but it's no more worrisome than what we've seen.
We're getting sort-of mixed results with what is happening in the economy.
We're getting a bit nervous about being dollar bears. In the midst of hawkish rhetoric from the Fed and strong economic growth, there's a definite risk the dollar's momentum can push it further.
This suggests the economy is due for a slowdown, much like the one we had in 1995,
would be a huge gamble with people's jobs and mortgages, putting the whole economy at risk.
We're still concerned, however, about the imbalances in the economy, but it's positive that the central bank is reacting.
We're still a force. It is a meaningful contributor to the United States' economy.
We have saturated Europe with oil. And as any economics handbook will tell you, excessive supply makes prices fall. But we do not have the means to decrease supply: all our (oil) exports are directed at Europe.
We are already seeing some signs of a slowdown in the economy. If durable goods confirm what housing starts voiced last week, then obviously we might see a little bit better tone in the bond market.
The reflection of what Cisco says is an absolute reflection of the economy. If Cisco is giving this forward look beyond the first quarter, then the suspicion of a possibility for a second half upturn may not be as evident.
There is a recovery, it's doubtless under way. There are signs that indicate that the economy is improving.
There are some similar aspects to all these communities. There is a robust economy in a couple of key areas -- tourism is a key driver as well as professional services. We view this as yet another external validation of the strength of the Florida economy and, therefore, the strength of our strategic plan to develop the economy.
We hope wind projects will be anchors to the rural economy.
There is considerable momentum here that will not be easily slowed. This economy is strong, and it is likely to surprise on the upside.
The productivity number is key toward determining whether the economy can show some stabilization. We've seen weakening numbers, which hasn't helped, but there is no inflation story to talk about here.
The productivity advance will also serve as a powerful backstop for the U.S. dollar, as it creates an environment that is good for the rates of return on U.S. assets, especially compared to other countries where both productivity growth and economic growth are lower than in the U.S.,
The outlook for the economy will become a focal point this week.
The psychology is just not there for the economy to make any substantial move until we get through the Fed meeting. There's really no selling pressure, it's just tremendous volatility.
We've seen a lot of significant evidence lately that the global economy is picking up, particularly in export orders. There's a lot of evidence coming in that things overseas look good.
We had been talking with Sen. Sears about malpractice reform. The driver is safety, not economics ? we want to create an environment to encourage internal reporting.
When I came here almost nine years ago our economy was troubled and our nation was divided,
The price of oil is going to be the overwhelming factor in how concerned people are about the economy in the short term and about the strength of consumer spending.
We need clear evidence that the economy is growing very strongly for the Fed to raise rates above 4.5 percent if you want to get much further gains in the dollar.
When the size of the aircraft orders is so big, the economics of the engine prices being offered by GE would've been a key factor in determining the orders.
Like any vibrant economy, the house prices have gone up. But more than that, we're facing a bit of a housing crunch.
Lucky for everybody because it says something about our underlying economy.
Making important energy policy that affects national security, the economy and public health is too important to be done behind the closed doors of a conference committee that avoids public hearings or the scrutiny of the full committees of each chamber. This is coming at a time when members of both parties are talking about their commitment to reform Congress to make their work more transparent and to curtail the influence of lobbyists.
Low marginal tax rates are supportive of economic growth. I would submit that we would want to look very hard at government spending - make sure it's controlled - before we raise taxes, which, in turn, would have negative impacts on the economy.
Losing the Saudi oil would immediately shock the U.S. economy to the worst level in decades,
Many of the donor programs have not only been ineffective, they have harmed the economy. Cash is not the issue. What you need is investor confidence.
So far, the surge in oil prices has yet to do any significant damage to the broader economy. We may see some softening in the consumer spending numbers soon, but unless that translates into a weaker job market, the economy should be able to weather these higher energy prices.
Since the 1990s, the economy has been bogged down. New players have emerged. They are formidable in Asia, but also present in Latin America and in Central and Eastern Europe.
Since mid-2004, the government refinery-gate reference price has diverged from import parity economics. The gap has been rising ever since.
Much of (Target and Wal-Mart's) revenue growth depends on the economy and other factors, just like for Amazon. At what point should it be closer to a retail stock than an Internet stock, and I'd say right now. The catalyst to get it there will be if the revenue continues to decelerate.
Men do not realize how great a revenue economy is
One of the things that we talk about is moving toward knowledge-based economics. In trying to create some vision for the future, I think higher education has a greater role to play in that.
One of the things recessions do is uncover weak links. When you're in a strong economy, a bull market, you can paper over a lot of things. When you get under some strain, these things show up.
One of the soundest rules I try to remember when making forecasts in the field of economics is that whatever is to happen is happening already
One of my top priorities as Governor of Missouri is to grow our economy and no sector of our economy is as ripe for growth as the life sciences,
Money will flow to where there are solid returns on capital. There are great opportunities in Eastern Europe and other emerging markets. We're seeing economic growth twice that of the U.S. but stocks are trading at a discount.
(Money managers) expect the Fed to stop raising rates before short-term rates inflict any significant damage to economic growth.
Numbers that came out in the U.S. today showed the economy there is still growing, but at a slower pace. That could mean that the U.S. doesn't have to raise rates.
Now that the world economy is on firmer footing, investors have grown skeptical that rapid growth can coexist with tame inflation.
Nevada and especially Las Vegas has a very strong tourism-based economy and the tourism industry is highly unionized in Las Vegas. As that sector of the economy continues to grow the union density has kept pace.
Neither of these are particularly sensitive to the economics. They have other reasons why they're buying this. There's a question as to how large those groups are, but once you get to more mainstream buying groups, then economics really begins to take over as a primary factor in that decision.
Retail sales is the single best indication of overall demand in the economy. It's one of the things the Fed is keying on because (of) when they started raising interest rates.
Retail sales is the single best indication of overall demand in the economy,
Positioned as we are, geographically and economically, India has a pivotal role in the region,
One of the reasons the U.S. economy is more dynamic than Europe's and Japan's is because we have foreigners who want to work here. In our area, immigration holds down the cost of farm goods and roof repair. And it increases the ability of contractors to respond more rapidly after a hurricane with lower prices.
I wouldn't give this a lot of weight and say this is leading the economy. It's sort of catching up to what has been strong economic activity for several months now.
I wish there was some paradigm shift in the economics of independent music and we could afford to keep this going for longer. It's just kind of expensive. As long as we're still having a really good time and as long as we're good friends, this seems like the perfect time to not necessarily quit but change the formula a little bit.
If we end up with cash, we can actually help the local economy finding the needs and helping the people,
I don't expect to see this investment trend slow in the next five years as long as the economy stays on track and investors make reasonable returns.
I don't expect this economy to show any signs of slowing down. One of the strategists a couple of years ago alluded to the battleship -- you don't stop this battleship in mid-water unless you have a bunch of torpedoes and the anti-aircraft, and the fact of the matter is, there aren't enough torpedoes out there yet,
I'd characterize the local economy as relatively strong over all. Commercial real estate, the securities industry, and thus personal income and tax revenues, and, to a lesser extent, the labor market are all showing signs of strengthening. The housing market has shown some signs of cooling recently, but remains pretty strong in terms of levels.
I believe the worst of the decline in the 'old economy' stocks is over, ... and I think what we're seeing here is a consolidation phase, even though this consolidation phase is probably taking place at the lower end of the trading range. I don't believe that yesterday's decline in Nasdaq is the beginning of any major correction just yet. Now, that is not to say that we're not going to have a correction. Indeed, we are. But I just believe that there is sufficient money out there and sufficient demand for these tech stocks yet, and that is not going to disappear so quickly. What we saw yesterday was little profit-taking after a spectacular week.
I believe the current decline in stocks could have a significant influence on the economy -- and hence, bonds -- if the stock decline is sustained.
But we've got to remember the economics have to be there to support it,
But do they do well enough for a highly educated population? For a knowledge-based economy? The answer is no.
But from an economics or financial management perspective, you'd say of course you want to start looking out way beyond one year.
But beyond economic development, I want to change the feeling this community has about our government. It's sad and it must be changed. It saddens me that the people of this community feel the way they do about us. That is the first thing I would try to accomplish as mayor.
But as the FOMC minutes also indicated that that the US economy still needs additional rate hikes ahead, interest rate differentials will continue to support the greenback.
But a sour-loan solution remains elusive, the supplementary budget is unlikely to do much for the economy, and the future direction for Wall Street remains unclear.
Based on prior experience, consumers will travel by car this summer, as long as the economy remains strong. There may be some moves away from big vehicles, which we've already seen to some degree, but gasoline costs won't curtail travel.
Bay Area public services have not kept pace with demands of our economy and growing population. Freeways are jammed, commutes are longer, the power supply is vulnerable to a hot summer, and water systems could snap in a major earthquake. Well aware of this, business leaders can be optimistic that negotiations between the Governor and the Legislature on an infrastructure bond are focusing on what gets funded not if there's a need for funding.
China is emerging as a key growth engine for the world economy, contributing over a quarter of total global growth in recent years, more than any other country. The downside for U.S. consumers and businesses is that this is forcing global commodity prices higher.
Given some of the strong data we've seen lately, it's not surprising he's bullish on the economy. There's not a lot of new news in this.
Getting access to the Chinese market is key in the world's rapidly changing economy.
Frankly, this is a darn good economy to start with. He's inheriting an asset, not a liability. It's not as if he's swimming upstream.
Friday's trade data allowed the market to focus on the cyclical performance of the U.S. economy, ... It doesn't appear that the yield difference will shift in favor of the euro any time soon.
From a development standpoint, the perceptions of the market are as important as the economics, and any activity to promote the industry is probably important to alleviate market concerns.
From an interest rate standpoint, it's negative. On the other end, if the economy stays strong, corporate earnings will stay strong.
From now to the first semester of 2006, our economy is still bumpy, thus the monetary sector would still be tight. After the first semester of 2006, the economy will start moving. We will see whether or not the tight monetary policy needs to be relaxed.
Fuel cells and the hydrogen economy are absolutely the next great race for industry.
Fundamentally, this economy is in recovery. But we do need to bring it to the bottom line.
I don't think we'll get there. As long as housing is slowing, the economy will slow, and that takes inflation off the table.
I expect more of the network airlines to do the same. Now that fuel is an issue, and other economics of the airline industry are pretty difficult, a lot of marginal flights are hard to justify. It's a prudent trimming of marginal routes.
If 50 years of post-war economics has taught us anything, it's this: state subsidies preserve bad habits.
From the tone of his testimony today, it's obvious he sees a pretty strong economy.
Fortunately, this happened in a strong economy, ... But I don't think anyone would say it will be positive.
Fortunately, most emerging markets are in relatively good shape economically.
Fortunately, continued job and income growth and the overall economy growth will help to offset the fall in housing activity that otherwise would occur.
I get the feeling that the economy was really wanting to move ahead more quickly last year, then hit a bunch of speed bumps. I get the feeling companies are ready to start building their businesses and do lot of what normally happens in an expansion.
If we show a build on the slight improvement in the labor market we've seen, if the economy continues to grow, there will be a decent November.
If we see them increasing their outlook for the world economy in terms of growth and we see that feed into Canada, it may justify another rate hike to 4.50.
If the economy slows, sectors that do the best are health care, energy and consumer staples.
