  2. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 SCENARIO 1 ASSUMPTIONS • Continued Fiscal Consolidation in developed countries: • Budget Deficits limited to -3% of GDP in European blocs • Debt stock reduced also in other developed countries (such as to 60% of GDP in the US) • Government Revenue is allowed to decline in Europe, US and Other Developed Countries • Revenue/GDP drops to 15% in the US & 20% in most European Blocs • There is a consequent drop of private investment in Central and North Europe and reduced intra-Europe migration • Multinationals tend to move Industrial Production and Exports to other regions, such as South America and India AUGUR

  3. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 SCENARIO 1 BACKGROUND ASSUMPTIONS • The pervasive influence of Global Markets continues to increase • National and International Governments have a declining influence over economic and financial developments • Global Investors and Corporate Management determine the availability of finance and the distribution of economic growth • Any improvements in the Environment are driven mainly by slow growth in developed countries and continued high oil prices • There is no concerted effort to achieve Greater Inclusiveness of Economic Growth, regionally (within Europe) or globally • Developing Countries continue to grow at a faster rate than Developed Countries—although some, such as China, slow down AUGUR

  15. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 REDUCTIONS IN GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES • While the elderly dependency ratio is rising, government expenditures are falling: what is the impact? • We use a composite index, the Government Service Standard, to gauge the impact of expenditure cuts on dependants • Government expenditures are compared to a weighted population index (for the elderly, children and the working-age population) • Then this ratio of public expenditures per population index is compared to general income per capita • The Results for Europe: There is a declining trend across the various blocs AUGUR

  16. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 GOVERNMENT SERVICE STANDARD (%) AUGUR

  17. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 • Conflicting Effects on Energy Use and Carbon Emissions: • Slow Growth in Developed Countries but Faster Growth in Developing Countries (along with a rising share of Global GDP) • A High and Rising Price of Oil both slows growth and energy use ENERGY USE AND CARBON EMISSIONS AUGUR

  18. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 WITHIN EUROPE INCOME PER CAPITA EUROPE AND OTHER BLOCS AUGUR

  19. AUGUR stakeholder’s workshop, 17-18 November 2011 CONCLUDING REMARKS • The results of this scenario are not promising: • Growth is slow and debt reduction unimpressive in Developed Countries • Employment is reduced and Government income and services decline • Developing Countries maintain more rapid growth rates, as global investment shifts towards them • But energy intensity and emissions do not decline globally • In terms of income per capita, East Asia gains on Developed Countries but South Asia and Africa lag far behind, leaving pronounced global inequalities unresolved AUGUR
