    Europes Economy Has Reached The Bottom

    GDP: ~$17 trillion

    The European Union economy accountsfor nearly one-quarter of the globaleconomy

    Growth of just 1.2% will add more than$750 billion to global GDP. This is thesame contribution to global GDP that

    China generates by growing at 8.5%.

    Spain was the biggest upside surprise in2013 of all economies. Instead ofcontracting at a 1.2% rate as forecast bythe IMF, Spanish GDP was flat, withgrowth strengthening throughout the

    year and exceeding 1% in Q4-2013.

    Germany has the largest current accountsurplus in the world, exceeding China,thanks to manufacturing export growth
