11/01/2008 - The latest composite leading indicators (CLIs) suggest that a moderate slowdown in economic activity lies ahead in the OECD area. November 2007 data indicate a slowdown in all major seven economies except the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom where only a downturn is observed. The latest data for major OECD non-member economies point to continued steady expansion in China and Brazil, improved performance in Russia but a weakening outlook for India...etc.
