Earthquakes and macroeconomy...

Woke up this morning with a bit of a twist. The bed was shaking and upstairs I heard the sound of quick steps running. Yes, an earthquake. Apparentely it shook 9 provinces of Spain with a 5.1 magnitude.
I thought I had a nightmare and turned the other way :)

Read The Economist that predicts that Spain will grow 3.7% this year, the highest rate amongst the 13 biggest world economies.
That's from the August view that the magazine does on the macroeconomic situation of the 13 biggies.
After Spain, the hightest growth rates will be in Australia (3,6%), Sweden (3,5%), Germany (2,8%), Great Britain (2,8%), Holand (2,8%), Belgium (2,7), Japan (2,6%), Canada (2,5%), Switzerland (2,4%), France (2%), Italy (2%) and USA (2%).
(Is this too clever for a Sunday?)...
