We are increasingly hearing that Europe must choose between tightening government finances and creating growth. Naturally, growth sounds friendlier than austerity. Not so long ago, the financial markets wanted budget consolidation. Without a fiscal pact with budget discipline, the European Central Bank (ECB) was unable to lend to banks to prevent credit tightening and to stabilise the situation. Now, when the financial markets are calmer - and recession is a fact - growth is wanted instead.

The recovery in the global economy has lost momentum during the spring, particularly in EMU-area but also in the emerging markets. Uncertainties about the strength in the global economy has also affected the commodity market, where we have seen a broad price decrease in April, from crude oil, metals to soft commodities like food. The Swedbank total commodity price index fell by 3,3% in April compared with the previous month. The largest price decreases was for metals and crude oil, which however could be a positive impact on the global economy.

The development on many stock exchanges, including the Swedish one, was negative in April. Oil prices fell slightly, but remain at a high level. The weak Purchasing Managers' Index has led to fears that the German recovery is too slow. In addition, there is uncertainty following the elections in France and Greece, and concern surrounding Spanish growth and the budget deficit.
