"We believe the global economy will gather momentum in 2010," said Ethan Harris, head of North America economics and coordinator of global economics. "We think that the unprecedented mix of near-zero interest rates and high budget deficits will engineer an economic recovery that is real and sustainable. We aren't forecasting a swift return to robust growth. In fact, the recovery will likely lag behind those of previous recessions -- but we believe that the world economy will perform far better than the economic consensus would indicate."
