Abstract

Am 17 April 2008 stellte die Projektgruppe Gemeinschaftsdiagnose in Berlin ihr Frühjahrsgutachten der Presse vor. Ihrer Ansicht nach wird die Weltwirtschaft von der Krise des Immobilien- und des Finanzsektors in den USA und den von ihr ausgelösten weltweiten Finanzmarktturbulenzen überschattet. Die USA stehen am Rande einer Rezession, in Westeuropa hat sich die Konjunktur etwas abgekühlt, und in Japan nimmt die gesamtwirtschaftliche Nachfrage nur noch schwach zu. Gleichwohl ist das weltwirtschaftliche Expansionstempo immer noch beträchtlich, vor allem, weil die Produktion in den Schwellenländern bis zuletzt kräftig stieg. Für den Prognosezeitraum ist ein weiteres Nachlassen der weltwirtschaftlichen Expansion zu erwarten. Die Krise auf den US-Finanzmärkten und die weltweiten Finanzmarktturbulenzen belasten die Konjunktur. Sie führen zu Vermögensverlusten der privaten Haushalte, was den Konsum dämpfte, besonders deutlich in den USA. Vor allem aber verschlechtern sich die Finanzierungsbedingungen für Unternehmen und Haushalte. Beeinträchtigt wird die weltwirtschaftliche Entwicklung zudem dadurch, dass sich der Preisauftrieb in den vergangenen Monaten erheblich beschleunigt hat. Neben dem anhaltenden Anstieg der Rohölpreise haben sich vor allem Nahrungsmittel massiv verteuert. Weltweit führt dies zu einem Entzug von Kaufkraft der privaten Haushalte zugunsten der Produzenten von Rohstoffen und Nahrungsmitteln.
