In particular, investment expenditure – after rising by 6.3 per cent in 2009 – is expected to fall by 6.6 per cent (excluding, for 2009, outlays for the repurchase of real estate securitized in 2002), returning to its 2006 value.
This means that – adjusted for purchasing power parities – the emerging and developing economies will overtake advanced economies, perhaps already in 2013.
