Turkey recorded an accelerated growth, from 0.1% to 1.6%, while in Japan rose from 0.3% to 1% and Korea rose from 0.3% to 0.8%.

The growth remained stable in Australia and Brazil (0.6%) and “almost stable” in Indonesia (from 1.5% to 1.4%).

In Mexico GDP contracted by moving from 0.7% to 0.5%, as well as in South Africa, which fell from 0.5% to 0.2%, in China, which fell from 2% to 1.6% and most significantly in India, which fell from 1.2% to 0.5%.
