The US economy soared in the third quarter - up 3.5%, better than expected. China is booming, projected to grow 8.5% in 2009. Europe is mostly growing with some weaker areas. But overall, the world grows again, except poor UK growth was expected. UK GDP fell for a historic sixth quarter in a row, down 0.4%. It's the largest peak-to-trough drop (5.9% so far) since the 1980s.  |
