Washington, Sept 13 : Developing countries including China and India, are showing signs of economic cooling as the effects of the downturn that started in the United States continue to spread around the globe, says an expert.
"Basically, what you''ve got is the emerging world now slowing at the same time as the developed world. Though the magnitude of their slowdown is a lot more modest, it is a negative for the global economy. The question now, obviously, is how much will they slow down,” the Washington Post quoted Michael Hartnett, chief emerging markets strategist for Merrill Lynch, as saying.
These fears that booming emerging markets are becoming caught up in a global slowdown have helped send the dollar soaring this week.
