3. Analytic Components…
 There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report.
Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with:
The currently perceived macroeconomic state of
the respondent’s country:
• Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current
economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat
bad or very bad?
 The currently perceived state of the local economy:
• Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7,
where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.
 A six month outlook for the local economy:
• Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local
area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or
much weaker than it is now?

6. Global Average of National Economic Assessment (36%)
Down One Point, Lowest Since 08/09 Crash
 As 2012 comes to a close, global economic sentiment reflects a sense of impending
trouble. The assessment line, which has been regularly teetering up and down by a
scale of one or two points, has reached a three-year low as 36% of global citizens
agree their current national economic situation is “good”. The assessment rating
has reached its lowest point since the 2008/2009 crash.
 In fact, nearly all geographic regions studied reflect a negative change in aggregate
sentiment since last sounding. The Middle East and Africa (50%) fell four points
overall, while Latin America (41%), Asia-Pacific (40%) and Europe (24%) all fell one
point. North America (46%) is the only exception as it remains unchanged, however,
this is due to the cancelling out of a two point improvement in Canada (68%) and a
two point decline in the United States (24%).
 Saudi Arabia (79%), Sweden (72%), Canada (68%), China (63%) and Australia
(61%) lead the global pack as the countries with the highest proportions of
respondents assessing their national economies as “good” while Spain (3%),
Hungary (4%), Italy (6%), France (6%) and Japan (9%) sit at the bottom.
 Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: Sweden (+7pts to 72%), Indonesia (+6pts
to 46%), China (+5pts to 63%), Canada (+2pts to 68%), Poland (+2pts to 21%)
 Countries with the greatest declines: Belgium (-8pts to 28%), South Korea (-8pts to 16%),
Germany (-8pts to 60%), Turkey (-6pts to 44%), South Africa (-5pts to 26%).

7. Global Average of Local Economic Assessment (27%)
Unchanged
 The global average of local economic assessment among the core 24 countries
remains unchanged with three in ten (27%) global citizens who agree the state of
the current economy in their local area is ‘good’.
 The poll finds assessments of local economies to be strongest in Saudi Arabia (53%),
Sweden (52%), China (47%), Canada (44%), Australia (42%) and Brazil (42%).
 Spain (6%), Japan (6%), Hungary (8%), Italy (8%) and France (10%) sit at the bottom
of the global ranking for this metric.
 Countries with the greatest improvements in local economic assessment: Indonesia
(+10pts to 36%), Sweden (+8pts to 52%), Saudi Arabia (+6pts to 53%), Brazil (+6pts
to 42%) and Russia (+3pts to 20%).
 Countries with the greatest declines in local economic assessment: Germany (-8pts to
39%), Belgium (-4pts to 18%), China (-4pts to 47%), Turkey (-3pts to 32%), South
Korea (-3pts to 14%) and France (-3pts to 10%).

8. Global Average of Future Outlook for Local Economy
Down One Point: 22%
 Currently, a global average of 22% believe their local economy will be stronger
six months from now, a figure that is one point lower than last wave.
 Brazil holds on to its number one spot on this measure (74%), leading India (44%),
Saudi Arabia (44%), Indonesia (41%), Argentina (40%) and Mexico (40%).
 A very small minority of those in France (3%) and Japan (5%) express they believe
their local economy will be stronger in half a year’s time. They are joined at the end of
the ranking by Hungary (7%), Belgium (8%) and Italy (9%).
 Countries with the greatest improvements: Indonesia (+10pts to 41%), Brazil (+4pts
to 74%), China (+3pts to 35%), Canada (+3pts to 21%), Sweden (+3pts to 19%) and
South Africa (+3pts to 14%).
 Countries with the greatest declines: United States (-5pts to 25%), Turkey (-4pts to
23%), Italy (-4pts to 9%), India (-4pts to 44%), Germany (-3pts to 11%), Russia (-3pts
to 14%), South Korea (-3pts to 13%) and Mexico (-3pts to 40%).
