July 23, 2010 - Many export-oriented economies in the G7 and Western Europe have seen an upgrade in their 2010 forecasts on the back of a revival in global demand, particularly from the developing economies.

The German economy is predicted to expand by 2.0% this year, leading the Euro zone expansion of 1.1%.
