The OECD reckons that any global economic recovery will come slowly, held back by geopolitical risks and a continuing overhang of capital investment. The euro-area economy can expect anaemic growth of only 1.0% this year, versus a predicted 2.5% growth rate for America. In 2004, America and Ireland are likely to outpace Australia, whose economy has recently been one of the world's fastest growing.
