Australia Q1 GDP Growth Hits Weakest Pace In 1-1/2 Years as Consumers Struggle

Economic

Summary:

Australia's economy grew at the weakest pace in 1-1/2 years last quarter as high prices and rising interest rates sapped consumer spending.

Australia's economy grew at the weakest pace in 1-1/2 years last quarter as high prices and rising interest rates sapped consumer spending, while emerging signs pointed to further softness ahead amid elevated borrowing costs and a slowdown in global growth.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday showed real gross domestic product (GDP) rose 0.2% in the first quarter, easing from 0.5% in the previous quarter and under forecasts of 0.3%.

Annual growth came in at 2.3%, also missing forecasts for 2.4% expansion.

The report contained initial signs that domestic price pressures are easing and evidence that households are saving less to meet high costs of livings and rising mortgage rates.

Domestic price growth slowed to 1.1%, after a 1.4% rise in the December quarter, and household savings as a share of income shrank to 3.7%, the lowest level since 2008, with consumers cutting back on discretionary spending such as household equipment and vehicles.

Household consumption rose only a meagre 0.2% in the March quarter, contributing 0.1% percentage points to GDP, mostly from spending on essential goods and services.

Price pressures have prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to raise its cash rate by 400 basis points since last May, taking it to an 11-year high of 4.1% and flagging more tightening may still be required.

Markets have priced in a 60% chance of another hike in July.

Compensation of employees (COE), the broadest measure of economy-wide labour costs, increased 2.4% in the first quarter from the December quarter when it rose 2.0%, a result that would worry policymakers.

RBA Governor Philip Lowe has highlighted that fast increasing unit labour costs are a risk to the central bank's inflation outlook, if productivity failed to pick up from the current flat levels.

The US$2 billion market for carbon offsets is heading for a massive reset, as a growing number of sovereign governments announce their intention to tax, regulate or restrict trade in credits generated within their borders.

The details vary, but from Indonesia to Kenya to Honduras, the goals are the same: Governments want to retain more of the benefits of emissions-reduction projects, whether as revenue or as credit toward their own national climate goals.

"If you are a developing country and you have the right kinds of project opportunities, you've got a golden goose," said Mark Lewis, head of climate research at Andurand Capital Management.

For countries with dense rainforests, mangrove swamps or other natural carbon sinks, carbon credits are increasingly considered alongside valuable minerals and metals like gold, lithium or copper.

"Commodities markets have created the precedent," said Samuel Gill, president and co-founder of Sylvera, a carbon research and ratings firm. "It is almost inevitable that nations come to see and treat carbon as any other national resource."

That wake-up call has been prompted in part by a growing awareness that, as of now, governments and local stakeholders might receive just a tiny slice of the revenues made by foreign project developers, said Pablo Fernandez, chief executive of Ecosecurities, a project developer and investor.

For example, most of the €100 million in proceeds from one of the biggest offset projects, a forest-protection site called Kariba in Zimbabwe, were accrued by the Swiss developer South Pole and its Guernsey partner Carbon Green Investments. In Mexico, BP paid rural villagers a small fraction of the market value of the credits generated on their forest land, according to a 2022 Bloomberg Green investigation.

"I'm not saying it's the pattern of the market, but we do have some projects that are badly designed and badly executed," Fernandez said. "That leads to these situations."

At the same time, carbon credits have new value for emerging markets. Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, wealthy countries had emissions targets and could buy credits from projects in developing countries to meet them. The 2015 Paris Agreement introduced targets for all, developing countries included, effective from 2020.

This means governments now view the units not just of a source of revenue, but as a tool to meet their international obligations. "The Paris Agreement acknowledges emissions as sovereign liabilities," said Finn O'Muircheartaigh, director of policy and markets at BeZero Carbon, a research and ratings firm. "Countries are now recognising they also have sovereign assets, which are their ability to reduce carbon or sequester carbon."

The new sovereign trading market is being set up by the United Nations, with an accounting framework that prevents the same credit from being applied to more than one country's climate goal. That means countries will have to decide if and when credits produced within their borders will be made available for use by others and when they'll be used for national goals.

Though the details are still being fine-tuned, some countries have already begun to strike deals to ensure supply. More than three quarters of countries say they plan to or are considering using the UN carbon market to meet their targets, known as "nationally determined contributions".

"Adjusting the amount of supply going to NDCs, rather than offset markets, has big implications," according to BNEF , which predicts the voluntary offset market could reach US$1 trillion by 2037.

One of those implications will be regulatory change and, at least at the beginning, inconsistency from one country to the next. Last month, Zimbabwe announced its intention to retain 50% of carbon revenues generated there, effective almost immediately. Kenya is debating legislation that would provide local communities a 25% cut. In October, Tanzania introduced new rules governing the revenue split, but developers say they are still waiting for specifics.

Elsewhere, Papua New Guinea suspended new deals while it worked on regulation. Honduras put a moratorium on the sale of forest-based carbon credits, and Indonesia imposed conditions on the export of carbon credits.

Meanwhile, Malaysia has said it won't limit sales of offsets abroad. Ghana, often lauded for its regulatory clarity, recently struck a deal to sell credits to Switzerland. Possibly one of the biggest impacts on the market, however, will be China — the largest supplier of offsets — which is readying a revamp of its domestic voluntary market.

The Paris Agreement was "revolutionary" in the way it empowered every country to set its own targets and manage its own market, Fernandez said. But that is a bumpy and inconsistent process, he added: "Today, we are living with the problem of this."

Investors say they welcome moves to create clarity, stability and predictability in the carbon market. "Improved regulation — and the greater certainty that comes with it — represents progress," said Ana Haurie, chief executive of Respira International, a carbon finance firm. "By creating certainty around the cost, the market can determine whether it's a price worth paying."

The emissions trading industry welcomed the new regulatory frameworks that would bring more certainty for investors but warned policymakers not to be overzealous.

"The new frameworks and the degree of government interventions will determine how attractive individual countries are for investors," said Andrea Bonzanni, the director of international policy at the International Emissions Trading Association. "If we make things too difficult, there will be no international carbon markets."

Investors will pick projects in countries which offer the best risk-to-reward ratio, according to Benedikt von Butler, portfolio manager at Evolution Environmental Asset Management LP. It's "in a host country's self-interest to minimise political risk to attract more investments, which will also generate revenues for governments," he said.

[News Details]

The RBA unexpectedly raises its benchmark interest rate by 25bps

The Reserve Bank of Australia unexpectedly raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.10%, a new high since 2012. The market expected it would keep rates unchanged. In addition, the RBA reiterated the possible need to further tighten monetary policy, depending on the development of inflation and the economy. It showed determination to restore CPI to the target level and will take the necessary measures to do that.

The World Bank projects the world's economy will grow 2.1% in 2023

The World Bank raised its forecast for global growth in 2023 as the U.S. and other major economies are more resilient than expected. But the Bank said the drag on the economy from higher interest rates next year will be worse than expected. The real global GDP is set to grow 2.1% this year, the World Bank said in its latest Global Economic Prospects report. That's higher than the 1.7% forecast released in January, but well below the 3.1% growth rate in 2022.

Goldman Sachs lowers the probability of a U.S. recession and expects the terminal interest rates at 5.25%-5.5%

Goldman Sachs cut the probability of a U.S. recession in the next 12 months from 35% to 25% and said the Federal Reserve is "very likely" to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in July. Earlier, the pressure on the U.S. banking sector was reduced, and U.S. President Joe Biden signed a bill to suspend the U.S. government's debt ceiling, avoiding a possible default. Goldman Sachs said the new debt ceiling will only lead to "small spending" cuts, which should make the overall fiscal momentum "roughly neutral" over the next two years. The pressure on the banking sector will only reduce this year's real GDP growth by 0.4%. The bank now expects that the Fed's terminal rate will be around 5.25%-5.5%, similar to the expectations of Deutsche Bank, UBS, and other peers.

The U.S. SEC asks to freeze the assets of Binance's U.S. subsidiary

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an emergency motion in federal court in Washington, D.C., on the evening of June 6 ET, asking a judge to freeze the assets of Binance's U.S. subsidiary and require the company to return funds on its U.S. trading platform to customers. The SEC wanted the freeze order to apply only to Binance's two holding companies in the U.S., while other international exchanges that are not regulated by the U.S. are not affected by the order.

Kakhovka dam in Kherson, Ukraine has been damaged

Kakhovka dam in Kherson, eastern Ukraine, was damaged on Tuesday, and parts of the area are being flooded. A state of emergency has been declared in the city of Nova Kakhovka due to the dam explosion. Both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of committing the dam destruction, increasing tensions in the region.

Russia's federal government has announced a staggering budget deficit of RUB 3.4 trillion in the first five months of 2023, marking a record high for this period. This deficit represents a sharp contrast to the surplus of RUB 1.6 trillion recorded during the corresponding period last year, as reported by the Ministry of Finance. The widening deficit can be attributed to a decline in revenues and a surge in government spending.

Revenue collections witnessed a significant decline, plummeting by 18.5% to RUB 9.8 trillion compared to the same period in the previous year. The primary factors contributing to this decline are the global economic slowdown and the imposition of sanctions on Russia's energy sector, resulting in reduced income from vital oil and gas industries. These challenges have posed severe hurdles to Russia's financial stability.

Simultaneously, government expenditures witnessed a substantial increase, soaring by 26.5% to RUB 13.2 trillion. The surge in spending can be attributed to Moscow's ongoing military intervention in Ukraine, which has necessitated significant financial resources. This heightened level of government spending has put immense strain on Russia's fiscal health and highlighted the underlying issues that continue to plague the state's budget.

The persistent budget deficits and mounting expenditures have forced the Kremlin to adopt certain measures in order to finance its operations. To meet its financial requirements, the Russian government has turned to issuing bonds to raise capital. Additionally, the government has been compelled to dip into its National Welfare Fund, a reserve designed to safeguard against economic uncertainties and emergencies.

The current economic scenario in Russia underscores the urgent need for the government to address these unsustainable developments. As the budget deficit continues to reach record highs, it is crucial for the Kremlin to reassess its economic policies and explore avenues for revenue diversification beyond the oil and gas sectors. This would help mitigate the adverse effects of global economic fluctuations and reduce the nation's vulnerability to external pressures, such as sanctions.

Furthermore, the government must also carefully evaluate its expenditure priorities and seek more efficient ways to allocate resources. By ensuring transparency and accountability in financial management, the Russian authorities can work towards regaining fiscal stability and fostering long-term economic growth.

The impact of Russia's budget deficit extends beyond its borders. As one of the world's major economies, Russia's fiscal health has implications for global markets and investors. The growing deficit and increased borrowing may lead to higher interest rates and inflationary pressures, affecting not only domestic consumers but also international stakeholders.

In conclusion, the Russian government's announcement of a record-high budget deficit of RUB 3.4 trillion in the first five months of 2023 highlights the challenges facing the country's economy. The decline in revenues due to a global economic slowdown and energy sector sanctions, coupled with soaring government expenditures driven by the military intervention in Ukraine, has strained Russia's fiscal position. Urgent measures are required to address these issues and restore fiscal stability, including diversifying revenue sources and enhancing financial management practices.

The world economy is set to grow at a slower pace as continued monetary policy tightening to rein in inflation is expected to crimp development, the World Bank has said.

Growth has been forecast at 2.1 per cent this year, down from 3.1 per cent last year, before recovering to 2.4 per cent in 2024, the Washington-based lender said in its latest Global Economic Prospects report on Tuesday.

Tight global financial conditions and subdued external demand are expected to weigh on growth across emerging markets and developing economies.

This year's growth projections for these economies are "less than half [of] those from a year ago, making them highly vulnerable to additional shocks", the World Bank said.

In emerging markets and developing economies other than China, growth is set to slow to 2.9 per cent in 2023, from 4.1 per cent last year.

"The surest way to reduce poverty and spread prosperity is through employment – and slower growth makes job creation a lot harder," said World Bank President Ajay Banga, who assumed charge on Friday.

"It's important to keep in mind that growth forecasts are not destiny. We have an opportunity to turn the tide but it will take us all working together."

Last month, the US Federal Reserve bumped up the policy rate for a third consecutive time this year by 25 basis points to curb inflation and restore price stability.

Higher Interest Rates to Slow Global Growth in 2023, World Bank Says_1

The Fed has been aggressively increasing interest rates since March last year to tame consumer prices that hit a 40-year high in 2022.

However, it has indicated a potential pause in rate increases amid fears of a recession in the world's largest economy.

The central banks of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman all followed suit by raising their benchmark borrowing rates in May.

Global financial conditions have tightened as a result of policy rate increases and recent bouts of financial instability, according to the World Bank.

Many banks experienced substantial unrealised losses due to the sharp rise in policy interest rates, it said.

"Financial markets remain highly sensitive to evolving expectations about the future path of interest rates of major central banks," the report said.

The latest forecasts indicate that the overlapping shocks of Covid-19, the Ukraine war and the sharp economic slowdown have dealt an enduring setback to development to emerging markets and developing economies, "one that will persist for the foreseeable future", the World Bank said.

By the end of 2024, economic activity in these economies is expected to be "about 5 per cent below levels projected on the eve of the pandemic".

"The world economy is in a precarious position," said Indermit Gill, chief economist and senior vice president at the World Bank.

With fiscal weaknesses having already tipped many poor countries into debt distress, pressure is growing in emerging markets and developing economies due to higher interest rates, he said.

Growth in the Mena region is expected to slow to 2.2 per cent in 2023, before rebounding to 3.3 per cent in 2024, as inflation and global headwinds subside and oil production rises.

The 23-member Opec+ alliance of oil producers on Sunday said it had set a new production target of 40.46 million barrels per day for 2024.

The alliance has extended its output cuts until the end of 2024 as concerns about economic growth weigh on the outlook for fuel demand.

Saudi Arabia will make an output cut of a million bpd in July, which could be extended if required.

The group has total production curbs of 3.66 million bpd, or about 3.7 per cent of global demand, in place, including a 2 million bpd reduction agreed on last year and voluntary cuts of 1.66 million bpd announced in April.

"The growth outlook for oil exporters in 2024 has improved since January, reflecting an assumed rebound in oil production, the expected effects of reform initiatives, and investment drives in Saudi Arabia and the UAE," the World Bank said.

The Mena region entered 2023 with "solid growth momentum in oil-exporting economies owing to high oil prices – which had helped these economies grow at a decade-high rate in 2022 – and ongoing recoveries in services sectors".

Higher Interest Rates to Slow Global Growth in 2023, World Bank Says_2

Many developing economies are also struggling to cope with weak growth, persistently high inflation and record debt levels, said World Bank deputy chief economist Ayhan Kose.

"Yet new hazards – such as the possibility of more widespread spillovers from renewed financial stress in advanced economies – could make matters even worse for them," he said.

"Policymakers in these economies should act promptly to prevent financial contagion and reduce near-term domestic vulnerabilities."

In advanced economies, growth is set to decelerate from 2.6 per cent in 2022 to 0.7 per cent this year and remain weak in 2024, according to World Bank estimates.

After growing by 1.1 per cent in 2023, the US economy is set to slow down to 0.8 per cent in 2024, "mainly because of the lingering impact of the sharp rise in interest rates over the past year and a half", the report said.

In the euro area, growth has been projected at 0.4 per cent in 2023, down from 3.5 per cent in 2022, due to the lagged effect of monetary policy tightening and energy price increases.

Despite a continued recovery in tourism, global trade growth is also expected to slow this year in view of the continuing rotation of consumption towards services, which tend to be "less trade-intensive", the World Bank said.

"In 2023, trade will grow at less than a third of its pace in the years before the pandemic," Mr Gill said.

The World Bank had said in March that global economic growth was expected to slump to a three-decade low by 2030, with the world economy set to reach its "speed limit" – the maximum long-term rate at which it can grow without risking excess inflation.

Cryptocurrency

The top U.S. securities regulator sued cryptocurrency platform Coinbase on Tuesday, the second lawsuit in two days against a major crypto exchange, in a dramatic escalation of a crackdown on the industry and one that could dramatically transform a market that has largely operated outside regulation.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday took aim at Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. The SEC accuses Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao of operating a "web of deception".

If successful, the lawsuits could transform the crypto market by successfully asserting the SEC's jurisdiction over the industry which for years has argued that tokens do not constitute securities and should not be regulated by the SEC.

"The two cases are different, but overlap and point in the same direction: the SEC's increasingly aggressive campaign to bring cryptocurrencies under the jurisdiction of the federal securities laws," said Kevin O'Brien, a partner at Ford O'Brien Landy and a former federal prosecutor, adding, however, that the SEC has not previously taken on such major crypto players.

"If the SEC prevails in either case, the cryptocurrency industry will be transformed."

In its complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, the SEC said Coinbase has since at least 2019 made billions of dollars by operating as a middleman on crypto transactions, while evading disclosure requirements meant to protect investors.

The SEC said Coinbase traded at least 13 crypto assets that are securities that should have been registered, including tokens such as Solana, Cardano and Polygon.

Coinbase suffered about $1.28 billion of net customer outflows following the lawsuit, according to initial estimates from data firm Nansen. Shares of Coinbase's parent Coinbase Global Inc closed down $7.10, or 12.1%, at $51.61 after earlier falling as much as 20.9%. They are up 46% this year.

Paul Grewal, Coinbase's general counsel, in a statement said the company will continue operating as usual and has "demonstrated commitment to compliance."

Oanda senior market analyst Ed Moya said the SEC "looks like it's playing Whac-A-Mole with crypto exchanges," and because most exchanges offer a range of tokens that operate on blockchain protocols targeted by regulators, "it seems like this is just the beginning."

Leading cryptocurrency bitcoin has been a paradoxical beneficiary of the crackdown.

After an initial plunge to a nearly three-month low of $25,350 following the Binance suit, bitcoin rebounded by more than $2,000, exceeding the previous day's high.

"The SEC is making life nearly impossible for several altcoins and that is actually driving some crypto traders back into bitcoin," explained Oanda's Moya.

Broker, Exchange Crackdown

Securities, as opposed to other assets such as commodities, are strictly regulated and require detailed disclosures to inform investors of potential risks. The Securities Act of 1933 outlined a definition of the term "security," yet many experts rely on two U.S. Supreme Court cases to determine if an investment product constitutes a security.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler has long said tokens constitute securities and has steadily asserted its authority over the crypto market, focusing initially on the sale of tokens and interest-bearing crypto products. More recently, it has taken aim at unregistered crypto broker dealer, exchange trading and clearing activity.

While a few crypto companies are licensed as alternative system trading systems, a type of trading platform used by brokers to trade listed securities, no crypto platform operates as a full-blown stock exchange. The SEC also this year sued Beaxy Digital and Bittrex Global for failing to register as an exchange, clearing house and broker.

"The whole business model is built on a noncompliance with the U.S. securities laws and we're asking them to come into compliance," Gensler told CNBC.

Crypto companies refute that tokens meet the definition of a security, say the SEC's rules are ambiguous, and that the SEC is overstepping its authority in trying to regulate them. Still, many companies have boosted compliance, shelved products and expanded outside the country in response to the crackdown.

Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association trade group, rejected Gensler's efforts to oversee the industry.

"We're confident the courts will prove Chair Gensler wrong in due time," she said.

U.S. Tightens Crackdown on Crypto with Lawsuits Against Coinbase, Binance_1

Founded in 2012, Coinbase recently served more than 108 million customers and ended March with $130 billion of customer crypto assets and funds on its balance sheet. Transactions generated 75% of its $3.15 billion of net revenue last year.

Tuesday's SEC lawsuit seeks civil fines, the recouping of ill-gotten gains and injunctive relief.

On Monday, the SEC accused Binance of inflating trading volumes, diverting customer funds, improperly commingling assets, failing to restrict U.S. customers from its platform, and misleading customers about its controls.

Binance pledged to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit, which it said reflected the SEC's "misguided and conscious refusal" to provide clarity to the crypto industry.

Customers pulled around $790 million from Binance and its U.S. affiliate following the lawsuit, Nansen said.

On Tuesday, the SEC filed a motion to freeze assets belonging to Binance.US, Binance's U.S. affiliate. The holding company of Binance is based in the Cayman Islands.
