The past three months, however, have seen a significant slowdown in China s exports, domestic investment, industrial output, and tax revenues.

Excluding China, there was a general slowdown in growth of service imports by developing countries, mirroring a lower growth rate in their exports.

The economy experienced a slowdown in 2005, but in 2006 recovered to the fastest pace in six years on the back of increased exports and strong investment.

A combination of negligible (or even negative) growth in Europe and a significant growth slowdown in the United States has now created that loss, undermining emerging economies exports.

Indeed, the latest data from Germany declining exports, falling factory orders, anemic industrial production growth, and a slide in investors confidence suggest that the slowdown has started.

And exports of raw materials to China, India, Europe, and the US a key factor in Africa s recent growth surge may suffer simply because the global slowdown means less consumption everywhere.

And, in our globally integrated world, the slowdown in Europe will exacerbate the slowdown in the US, and vice versa.

As they prepare for the coming Chinese slowdown and seek to minimize the risk of regional destabilization, Asian economies must strengthen domestic demand and reduce excessive reliance on exports to China.

Moreover, a recession or a slowdown in the US and Europe would hit Brazilian exports, narrowing Brazil s trade surplus considerably. In fact, although America s trade significance has diminished, accounting for only 16 of Brazilian exports last year, Brazilian trade and growth typically go hand in hand with the US and Europe historically they have never decoupled.

Hopes that a US economic recovery will boost demand and investment in Latin America are likely to be dashed US investment will probably flow elsewhere. China s economic slowdown will also dampen prices for exports, including commodities.

Even in the case where the direct effect is small the decoupling assumption the US slowdown still can have a substantial net impact on European exports because of its indirect effect on Asian imports from Europe.

An economic slowdown will exacerbate all our financial problems.

The former would exacerbate the country s slowdown, and neither change is in the cards.

(b) Exports

So a recession in Europe would cause a slowdown in China s export dependent economy as well.

The textiles exported the world over by these industries are deemed African exports when in reality they are now Chinese exports.)

In the second quarter of 2004, Chinese exports to Mexico grew by 67 , while Mexico s exports to China fell by 1.3 .

Otherwise, the construction led economic slowdown would not be today s 1 trillion in annual lost production.

The result as visible as it was predictable has been a sharp slowdown in economic growth.

A growth slowdown is hardly shocking for an export led economy.

In China, exports fell by more than 25 in February.

Because US imports are nearly twice as large as US exports, it takes a 20 increase in exports to balance a 10 increase in imports.

This does not mean that the German made share of exports is falling in absolute terms. It only means that the total volume of German exports has been rising faster than the total German value added in those exports.

High tech exports are only 5 of India s total exports, compared to 30 for China.
