National financial markets

Article Abstract:

National financial market activities in several countries are characterized by contradictions. In the US, economic activity remains brisk due to growth in net exports; while in Japan, the yen continues to sharply drop in value against the US dollar. Low inflation pervades in Germany as France enjoys a 1.3% increase in GDP in 1996. Italy suffers from economic slowdown, while the UK enjoys economic growth as shown by its 2.4% increase in GDP in 1996.

Salient features of international market developments in 1996

Article Abstract:

Borrowers from members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) accounted for about 88% of the $1,572 billion total financing activity on international capital markets in 1996. The decrease in market share for OECD countries was reflected in the increase of market share for non-OECD countries and international development institutions. OECD countries accounted for 92% of all global financing activity in 1995.
