Bank Rate. In a coordinated initiative by the central banks, the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) left interest rates unchanged at 1.0% at its meeting on December 3, 2009. The ECB is expected to maintain its benchmark interest rate at the current level of 1.0%, until the first adjustments are anticipated for the third quarter of 2010. The major central banks of Western Europe will begin to shift their monetary policies in 2010. The ECB is forecasted to be the first major bank to raise interest rates and withdraw other forms of monetary stimulus. Employment: Although initial employment losses were subdued in the beginning of the recession, the European labour markets continued to weaken throughout the period. In December 2009, the unemployment rate reached 10.0% however, the rate of job losses is beginning to stabilize as business sentiment across Europe is becoming less negative. Activity in the manufacturing, services and retail sectors improved and offset further deterioration in the construction industry. Economists expect further cuts to employment levels in Europe at least until mid-2010. Workers in displaced jobs will have difficulty re-entering the labour force, especially in Europe and some emerging economies. Economists project the unemployment rate will reach 9.4% in 2009 and 10.5% in 2010.
