Global capital spending likely to rise this year at its fastest pace in a
quarter century

Global capital spending is starting to boom
Capital spending is generally one of the last components of demand to recover
during a global economic upturn. However, a coincident turn in growth and
capital spending is now under way. Global investment demand lifted in the
middle of last year with business capital spending expanding at a solid 6.6%
annualized pace during 2H09. High-frequency indicators from the largest capital
goods producers suggest that demand for capital equipment accelerated dramatically
during the first four months of this year. Shipments from the US,
Germany, and Japan—which closely track global investment spending—rose
at a more than 20% annualized rate last quarter. Meanwhile, the German Ifo
survey points to a further sharp acceleration in demand for capital goods in
April. This surge partly reflects restocking, but it now looks likely that global
capital spending will rise at a double-digit pace over the course of 2010—an
outcome that could prove as strong as any over the past quarter century.
In countries that have avoided recession (China, India) or have been lifted by
strong commodity prices and capital inflows (Brazil, Australia), a desire to expand
plant and equipment lies behind investment spending gains. However, the
global investment upturn is now largely being driven by growth in countries in
which utilization rates are depressed and business attitudes remain cautious.
This dynamic is in line with our views about the “paradox of lift,” which allows
for investment spending to pick up even at this point in the business cycle
when operating rates are still low.
Having slashed capital expenditure budgets in an unprecedented manner during
the financial crisis, the level of investment spending dipped below the level
of depreciation in the major developed economies last year. Consequently,
