LLC reason, we think, is that this cycle is different from prior high-inflation periods. First, post-pandemic labor market overheating showed up not in excessive employment but in unprecedented job openings, which are much less painful to unwind. Second, the disinflationary impact of the recent normalization in supply chains and rental housing markets still has a long way to go. And third, long-term inflation expectations remain well-anchored. n The Euro area and the UK are probably in recession, mainly because of the real income hit from surging energy bills. But we expect only a mild downturn as Europe has already managed to cut Russian gas imports without crushing activity and is likely to benefit from the same post-pandemic improvements that are helping avoid US recession. Given reduced risks of a deep downturn and persistent inflation, we now expect hikes through May with a 3% ECB peak. n China is likely to grow slowly in H1 as an April reopening initially triggers an increase in Covid cases that keeps caution high, but should accelerate sharply in H2 on a reopening boost. Our longer-run China view remains cautious because of the long slide in the property market as well as slower potential growth (reflecting weakness in both demographics and productivity). n Several central banks in Central/Eastern Europe and Latin America started hiking rates well before their DM peers. While none has clearly achieved a soft landing yet, activity has been resilient and inflation is now coming down in some countries, especially Brazil. CEE is in a more difficult position because of its commodity exposure, high inflation, and ongoing monetary tightening.

Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst Macro Outlook 2023: This Cycle Is Different Global growth slowed sharply through 2022 on a diminishing reopening boost, fiscal and monetary tightening, Chinas ongoing Covid restrictions and property slump, and the energy supply shock resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war. We expect the world to continue growing at a below-trend pace of 1.8% in 2023, with a mild recession in Europe and a bumpy reopening in China but also important pockets of resilience in the US and some EM early hikers, such as Brazil.

Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst US Likely to Avoid Recession In the past year, US growth has slowed to a below-potential pace of about 1% because of a diminishing reopening boost, declining real disposable income (driven by fiscal normalization and high inflation), and aggressive monetary tightening. In our forecast, growth remains at roughly this pace in 2023. Unlike a year ago, when our forecast for both 2022 and 2023 was below consensus because we expected a negative impact of monetary and especially fiscal tightening, our current 2023 forecast is well above consensus (Exhibit 2).

As shown in Exhibit 3, we estimate a 35% probability that the US economy enters recession over the next 12 months, well below the median of 65% among the forecasters in the latest Wall Street Journal survey and toward the bottom of the range. 16 November 2022 3

One immediate reason is that the incoming activity data are nowhere close to recessionary. The advance GDP report showed 2.6% (annualized) growth in Q3, nonfarm payrolls grew 261k in October, and there were 225k initial jobless claims in the week of November 5. More fundamentally, there are strong reasons to expect positive growth in coming quarters. To be sure, the tightening in financial conditions is weighing heavily on growth, to the tune of nearly 2pp at present. But real disposable personal income is rebounding from the plunge seen in H1—when fiscal tightening and sharply higher inflation took their toll—to a pace of 3%+over the next year (Exhibit 4). And while there are risks on both sides, we think the real income upturn is likely to be the stronger force as we move through 2023, especially because the financial conditions drag will likely diminish assuming Fed officials do not deliver dramatically more tightening than the rates market is currently pricing. 16 November 2022 4

Source: Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research But the most fundamental question is this: how can the Fed bring down inflation by 2 percentage points over the next year with only a ½pp increase in the unemployment rate (Exhibit 5)? Doesnt this fly in the face of the experience from prior high-inflation episodes—most notably the 1970s—that ended with a much bigger increase in unemployment? Our answer is that this cycle is different from prior high-inflation periods.

Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research The first reason why this cycle is different is that post-pandemic labor market overheating showed up not in excessive employment but in unprecedented job openings. As shown in Exhibit 6, job openings surged in 2020-2021 as employers sought to keep up with the strongest economic recovery on record amidst continuing Covid fears and exceptionally generous unemployment benefits. However, employment as a share of the labor force only rose to roughly the pre-pandemic level, not above. 16 November 2022 5

Demand has slowed, the pandemic has subsided, unemployment benefits have normalized, and excess savings are coming down. It is therefore not surprising that job openings and our jobs-workers gap—total labor demand minus total labor supply—are coming down quickly. Based on timely job openings measures from Linkup and Indeed, we estimate that the jobs-workers gap has declined from a peak of nearly 6 million to just over 4 million, nearly half of the way to the 2mn level required to slow wage growth to a rate compatible with the inflation target (Exhibit 7, left panel). Partly because of the reduction in the jobs-workers gap, timely measures of nominal wage growth, i.e. composition-adjusted average hourly earnings and our monthly wage survey composite, have slowed to levels consistent with 4½% wage growth (Exhibit 7, right panel). 16 November 2022 6

Where available, we average current and expected wage changes for each survey the more recent surveys are backcasted statistically. Source: Haver Analytics, Linkup, Indeed, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research The second reason why this cycle is different is that the recent normalization in supply chains and rental housing markets is a source of disinflation not seen in previous high-inflation episodes such as the 1970s, and it is only beginning to show up in the official numbers (Exhibit 8). On the goods side, the ongoing rotation from goods to services spending, healing supply chains, and rebounding inventory levels should put downward pressure on core goods prices. On the services side, asking rents on new leases have decelerated sharply after the one-time jump in rents related to the work from home-related increase in demand for space. The October CPI report suggests that the lagging measure of sequential monthly official CPI shelter inflation—which captures both new and continuing leases—has likely peaked too. Although year-on-year shelter inflation will likely rise through next spring as rents on continuing leases catch up to higher market rates, it is set to slow thereafter. 16 November 2022 7

Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research The third reason is that long-term inflation expectations remain well-anchored, especially relative to the 1970s. This is true for each of the available measures, namely those based on 1) surveys of households, 2) surveys of economic forecasters, and 3) inflation-protected bonds. Measures of short-term inflation expectations remain relatively high, but much of this probably reflects the spike in commodity prices and should wane if commodity prices level off. The fact that inflation has only been high for a short and unusual pandemic period also suggests that elevated inflation is not entrenched (Exhibit 9).

We expect supply-constrained durable goods with still elevated margins, such as used cars, to drive nearly half of the slowdown in overall core inflation. 16 November 2022 8

Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research One might assume that our relatively optimistic inflation forecast translates into a relatively dovish Fed call. But that assumption would be wrong. The reason comes back to the interplay between real income and financial conditions. As real income recovers, a negative FCI growth impulse is required to keep growth below potential and continue rebalancing the labor market. However, the negative FCI impulse on sequential growth will likely diminish from its current drag of around 2pp annualized because it depends on the change in, rather than the level of, financial conditions (Exhibit 4, right panel). As a result, and even under our relatively optimistic inflation forecast, additional rate hikes of at least as much as markets are now pricing are likely required to keep the labor market adjustment going. Following the FCI easing over the past month, we now expect an additional 125bp of Fed rate hikes (vs. 100bp previously) with a downshift in the hiking pace to 50bp in December, and three smaller 25bp hikes in February, March, and now also May. Our new 5-5.25% peak funds rate is modestly above market pricing (Exhibit 11). 16 November 2022 9

In our no-recession forecast, the Fed only implements a first gentle 25bp cut in 2024Q2. This baseline of “high rates for longer” would again illustrate how different this cycle is as the first Fed cut in the median hiking cycle has historically come roughly six months after the last hike. 16 November 2022 10
Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst A Mild Recession in Europe In contrast to the US, the Euro area and the UK are probably in recession. The reason for this is the much bigger and more drawn-out increase in household energy bills, which should boost headline inflation to peaks of 12% in the Euro area and 11% in the UK, far higher than in the US (Exhibit 12, left panel). Exhibit 12: A Bigger Energy Shock in Europe Implies a Worse Outlook for Inflation and Real Income Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research In turn, high inflation is set to weigh on real income, consumption, and industrial production. We forecast further declines in real income of 1½% in the Euro area through 2023Q1 and 3% in the UK through 2023Q2, before a pickup in H2 (Exhibit 12, right panel). The plunge in timely and forward-looking surveys of gas-intensive European industries such as chemicals and metals also suggests that rising energy costs will lower production (Exhibit 13). As a result, we look for cumulative declines in real GDP of 0.7% in the Euro area (2022Q4-2023Q2) and 1.7% in the UK (2022Q3-2023Q2). 16 November 2022 11
Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst Exhibit 13: Surveys of Gas-Intensive European Industries Have Plunged Source: Haver Analytics, Eurostat, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research However, we dont expect a deep European downturn, barring a very cold winter that imposes more severe energy rationing on the industrial sector in order to keep people warm in their homes. Already, Europe has cut Russian gas imports by 80% and total gas consumption by 20-25% without crushing aggregate activity. In fact, most of the hard economic data (as opposed to the surveys) continue to hold up remarkably well so far, with industrial production moving sideways, real GDP still up in the Euro area in Q3 (though down slightly in the UK), and labor markets holding up so far. We think the reason for this resilience is that household energy savings and substitution to other energy sources have helped absorb the collapse in Russian gas imports. Along with mild weather, these savings have boosted gas storage, reduced TTF gas prices by 60% from their peak, and reduced downside risk from a very cold winter. Moreover, Europe is likely to benefit from three similar post-pandemic sources of resilience that are helping the US avoid recession altogether. First, Exhibit 14 shows that the rise in German production of chip-intensive items and cars—where pandemic bottlenecks are still easing—has approximately offset the ongoing decline in energy-intensive production. 16 November 2022 12

Exhibit 15 points to room in Europe for saving rates to fall and for consumer credit growth to pick up (although likely by less than in the US because European lower-income households have relatively limited excess savings). Third, while the bulk of reopening gains are behind us, Europe is still benefiting somewhat from a rebound in the service sector.

The main reason is that energy prices will likely stay high until sufficient new energy supply and/or 16 November 2022 13
Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst major efficiency gains materialize. Moreover, fiscal policy turns should turn into a drag from the second half of 2023 onwards. Incorporating both the resilience in incoming hard data and our less elevated path for gas prices, we have nudged up our Euro area 2023 growth forecast to -0.1% (from -0.4% previously). What about European core inflation? Although commodities drove the initial headline surge, price pressures have broadened significantly across core categories in both the Euro area and the UK following upside inflation surprises (Exhibit 16, left panel). In fact, UK core price pressures are now the broadest across the G10, with a perfect storm of an energy crisis (like continental Europe) and an overheated labor market (like the US). Given this strong momentum, we expect Euro area core inflation to edge up further to a peak of 5.3% year-over-year in December, before gradually declining to just above 3% by end-2023 on goods disinflation. In the UK, we think that core inflation is peaking right around now and will also decline to 3% by end-2023. Exhibit 16: Broad Core Price Pressures in Europe Imply Additional ECB and BoE Hikes to Peaks of 3% and 4.5%, Respectively Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Given reduced risks of deep recession and persistent inflationary pressures, we now expect the ECB to hike through May with an additional 150bp of rate hikes to a peak deposit rate of 3% (vs. 2.75% previously). Along with the reduction in near-term headline inflation pressures from gas prices, the emphasis on substantial rate hikes so far increases our conviction that the ECB will step down the pace to 50bp in December, in parallel with the Fed. We maintain our forecast for a second 50bp hike in February but, given the firmer demand outlook, now look for two additional smaller 25bp hikes at the March and May meetings. The risks around our peak 3% ECB rate are two-sided, with upside risk from potentially more persistent core inflation and downside risk from a deeper recession or a possible flare-up in sovereign risk in Italy. Given the tight labor market, high wage pressures, and firm inflation, we expect the BoE to hike Bank Rate by an additional 150bp to a terminal rate of 4.5%. 16 November 2022 14
Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst Chinas Bumpy Reopening Our 2023 China outlook is a story of two halves with slow growth in the first half followed by a more pronounced rebound in the second half as the economy reopens (Exhibit 17). We expect weak growth in Q4 and Q1 as the Zero Covid Policy (ZCP) likely stays in place during the winter. In fact, the recent sharp rise in cases led us to have a significantly below-consensus Q4 estimate of 1.2% annualized.

The basic reason for this is that medical and communication preparations will take time. Less than 70% of the 60+ age group in Mainland China are triple-vaccinated (Exhibit 18), and data from Hong Kong show that the unvaccinated elderly remain at serious risk of severe outcomes. As a result, China will need to significantly ramp up its vaccination pace from the current 100k/day before reopening can safely begin. 16 November 2022 15

Source: NHC, Wind, Government of Hong Kong, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Despite our April reopening baseline, we forecast Q2 growth of just 2% annualized on our assumption that reopening initially triggers an increase in infections that keeps caution high. Weak growth in East Asian economies such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong during the first quarter of exiting ZCP also supports our soft Q2 forecast. In contrast, we look for a meaningful reopening growth boost in H2, which will likely extend into 2024. As ZCP is currently still subtracting about 4-5% from the level of GDP, we see substantial room for a cyclical rebound as immunity levels rise and most households learn to live with the virus. Although clearly above consensus, our Q3 and Q4 forecasts of 10% and 6% annualized are not spectacular relative to other international reopening experiences. This is because we expect a continued drag from Covid caution as well as other headwinds, some cyclical and some more structural. On the cyclical side, fiscal policy is set to tighten if the domestic economy rebounds, and Chinas pandemic-related export boom should fade as global demand for tech, housing, and Covid-related products slows further. On the structural side, we see the contraction of the property sector and US chip export restrictions as multi-year drags. We estimate that the ongoing slide of the property sector will subtract around -1½pp from growth next year as it continues to delever and face demographic headwinds (Exhibit 19). 16 November 2022 16

Source: Haver Analytics, Wind, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research We recently also estimated that the new US restrictions on exports of advanced chips (and the equipment and software to produce them) to China will subtract about ¼pp from China growth next year and 1.7% from the 2026 level of GDP, assuming US policymakers are serious about implementation. This reflects reduced production in China of both chips and goods using advanced chips, such as smartphones and computers. The relatively muted rebound in aggregate demand—coupled with the relatively limited rise in inflation during reopening in other Asian economies—also drives our benign forecast for 2023 inflation and monetary policy. Specifically, we expect core CPI to pick up only slightly from 0.7% to 1.2% next year, and the policy rate to stay flat at just 2%. Although we do see a sharper reopening boost in 2023H2 and 2024H1 than other forecasters, our long-run China views remain structurally below consensus (Exhibit 20). We estimate that much of the slowdown in actual China growth in recent years corresponds to a slowdown in potential growth to only 4.2% in 2023. We estimate that trend growth will slow further to just above 3% over the next decade on weakness in both demographics and productivity, and the long slide in the property market. 16 November 2022 17

Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst Pockets of Resilience in EM Early Hikers A number of economies in Latin America as well as Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) started hiking rates well before everyone else. Among the nine EM early hikers, the policy rate has increased by an average of over 800bp (Exhibit 21, left panel) while our 1 GS Financial Conditions Index (FCI) has tightened by an average of 450bp. Where are these economies headed and what can we learn from their experience for the broader global outlook? While no early hiker has clearly achieved a soft landing yet, activity has generally held up better than expected. A majority of early hikers are probably still expanding, based on GDP growth, PMIs, and labor market indicators. In particular, unemployment rates remain low in all economies, although they have edged up in several economies 2 that elevated job openings, reopening, and (Exhibit 21, right panel). We have found strong private sector balance sheets—again unique characteristics of this different cycle—help explain this resilience. Exhibit 21: The Policy Rate Has Increased by 800bp Since March 2021 for the Average EM Early Hiker, but Unemployment Remains Low Basis points Change in the Policy Rate Since March 2021 Basis points Percent UnemploymentRate in Average EM Early Hiker Percent 1000 1000 10 10 900 Average EM Early Hiker 900 800 US 800 9 9 700 700 600 600 8 8 500 500 400 400 7 7 300 300 200 200 6 6 100 100 0 0 5 5 Mar-21 Jul-21 Nov-21 Mar-22 Jul-22 Nov-22 Jul-19 Jan-20 Jul-20 Jan-21 Jul-21 Jan-22 Jul-22 Note: EM early hikers are Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Peru, Poland, and Romania. Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Encouragingly, sequential core inflation and wage growth have begun to moderate across most early hikers, although they remain very high. The moderation in core inflation is most notable in Brazil, where we expect rate cuts to start in 2023Q2 and growth to pick up back to a potential-like pace of 2% in the second half of the year (Exhibit 22, left panel). In contrast, the CEE economies are in a more difficult position. This reflects CEEs exposure to the surge in European gas prices, as well as continued high, broad, and in the cases of Hungary and Poland still-rising inflation. We therefore expect the Czech and Polish central banks to resume their rate hike campaigns before long (Exhibit 22, 1 We define an “early hiker” as a country under our coverage that began to increase the policy rate by October 2021 with a cumulative increase in the first six months of at least 100bp. 2 Our classification suggests that Chile is likely in a mild recession, while the Czech Republic and Poland are close calls. 16 November 2022 19

Dashed lines indicate GS forecasts. The aggregate policy rate for Latin America also excludes Ecuador. Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Overall, the resilience of activity in several EM early hikers so far supports our view that the current high-inflation period does not need to end in deep recession. Some Progress, But Still an Uncertain World The key economic question for 2023 is whether central banks will be able to bring down inflation to more acceptable levels without a recession, or at least without a deep recession. We are reasonably optimistic, but there are substantial risks to our view. One risk is that inflation pressures simply remain pervasive enough that central banks have no choice but to keep tightening aggressively. If so, a recession might become unavoidable, not just in Europe but also in the US. The recent news flow has reduced this risk slightly in the US, as the labor market continues to adjust and inflation has begun to slow. But the picture is not uniform. Central banks in Europe and those EM economies where inflation is still increasing may be forced into further tightening in an environment of exchange rate depreciation and rising inflation expectations. The other main risk is that underlying inflation does come down, but central banks are late in recognizing the improvement because they are too focused on lagging indicators of inflation such as CPI shelter inflation. In the US, we have recently become a little less concerned about this risk as well. Fed officials have made it clear that they are not exclusively focused on the CPI rent numbers but also on more leading indicators such as asking rents on new leases, which have slowed sharply in recent months. Moreover, many central banks have either already slowed their hiking pace or signaled that they will do so soon. This reduces the risk of overtightening as it will allow for more time to assess the impact of higher rates on the economy. Beyond the core inflation dynamic, we remain concerned about political and geopolitical 16 November 2022 20
Goldman Sachs Global Economics Analyst shocks, which could affect the global economy via higher uncertainty, tighter financial conditions, or negative effects on commodity supply. Some of these risks have diminished slightly as well. The Italian, Brazilian, and US midterm elections have come and gone without major market disruptions. Spreads on Italian government debt have diminished, Brazil may be headed toward a soft landing, and there is even a possibility that the US debt limit—arguably the biggest potential source of market disruption emanating from DC in 2023—will be resolved in the “lame-duck” session of Congress between now and year-end 2022. Moreover, the latest meeting between Presidents Biden and Xi promises to defuse at least some of the tensions between the US and China, which might also help to achieve a negotiated solution to the Russia-Ukraine war. But there are still plenty of risks that could return us to the exceptionally volatile environment of the first half of 2022. So far, a settlement in the Russia-Ukraine war does not seem close at hand, and the impact of the price cap on Russian oil is uncertain. The political instability in the Middle East—while far from a new feature of the geopolitical order—also has the potential to deal another blow to energy markets at a time when the supply-demand balance is already precarious. Thus, our cautiously optimistic global economic outlook remains fraught with substantial risks. 16 November 2022 21
