Members commenced their discussion of international economic developments by noting that the information on global inflation had been a little more encouraging over the prior month. Headline inflation rates had declined, driven by a fall in oil prices, while core inflation had continued to ease. Goods prices had declined in some countries in preceding months. However, inflation in the services sector had declined only gradually, reflecting still-tight labour markets, and housing inflation remained strong in a number of countries. Central banks generally expected inflation to return to their targets in late 2024 or 2025. Members observed that output growth in several advanced economies had slowed noticeably in response to tighter monetary policy and cost-of-living pressures, particularly in Europe. In the United States, output growth had held up better than expected, helped by resilient consumption. Labour markets remained tight, but conditions had clearly eased in response to the slowing in economic activity. Job vacancies had fallen and unemployment rates, while still very low, had increased over preceding months, including in the United States. The pace of wages growth remained above levels considered consistent with central banks’ inflation targets for some economies, but they had generally moderated in response to the gradual easing in labour market conditions and inflation. As a result, core inflation was expected to continue to moderate. Turning to developments in China, members observed that the latest indicators of activity had generally been positive, and growth in retail sales and industrial production in October had remained strong. Activity had been supported by the continued recovery in services consumption after the pandemic, along with a range of supportive fiscal policy measures.

Real estate investment had continued to decline because of weak demand and liquidity constraints facing property developers.
