IMF Working Papers-Credit Growth and Economic Recovery in Europe After the Global Financial Crisis
November 17, 2017--Summary:
This paper reviews the empirical relationships between credit growth, economic recovery, and bank profitability in Europe after the global financial crisis (GFC).
We find that the post-GFC recoveries in Europe have been weaker than previous recoveries, with the "double-dip" recessions in 2011-12 in many countries and the worldwide reach of the GFC explaining the underperformance.
Bank lending has been subdued as well, but this appears to have only held back the recovery relatively moderately. A 10 percent increase in bank credit to the private sector is associated with a rise of 0.6-1 percent in real GDP and 2-2½ percent in real private investment. These relationships have not changed significantly during and after the GFC. Loan quality, customer deposits, bank equity price index, and bank capital appear to be closely linked to bank lending. As expected, bank profitability is positively and significantly influenced by credit growth, but this relationship has weakened after the GFC.

IMF Country Report-Sweden: Selected Issues
November 17, 2017--HIGH HOUSEHOLD SAVINGS IN SWEDEN1
A. Introduction
1. Boosted by a large increase in savings after the global financial crisis, Swedish
households save at one of the highest rates among advanced economies. The gross household
saving rate averaged some 17 percent since the global financial crisis, increasing by 7.5 percentage
points over its pre-crisis level-a much stronger increase than seen in any other advanced
economy.2
Saving rates can differ from country to country even if the underlying consumption and
saving patterns of households are similar,3 but the very sharp increase in the level of savings sets Sweden apart.

IMF Staff Concludes Visit to Russia
November 17, 2017--"A cyclical recovery in Russia is gaining pace after a two-year recession, with growth expected to reach around 2 percent this year, supported by higher oil prices and easier domestic financial conditions.
Nevertheless, growth is likely to remain low in the medium-term, due to demographics, unaddressed structural bottlenecks as well as enduring sanctions.
Inflation is likely to be just under 3 percent at end-2017, but it is expected to return to around the 4 percent target soon thereafter. The current account surplus is forecasted to improve due to higher oil prices and stronger global demand.
