Aga|nst a backdrop of wor|dw|de recess|on, |nternat|ona|

he prem|um segment of the |nternat|ona| car markets

scrappage programme Cash for C|unkers, wh|ch re-

ln Cermany, by contrast, demand for cars |ncreased year-

transform a market co||apse at the beg|nn|ng of the year
|nto a sma|| pos|t|ve growth rate. ln lta|y and the Un|ted

W|th the he|p of a range of state-funded measures, the

new|y emerg|ng econom|es, the automob||e markets |n
Eraz|| and lnd|a a|so recorded s|ng|e-f|gure growth rates
thanks to state-funded measures. Ey contrast, the boom
exper|enced by the Puss|an automob||e market |n recent

International motorcycle markets remain weak

Nat|ona| econom|c st|mu|us programmes, |n|t|ated to

emerg|ng econom|es, Cermany and the USA have a|so
succeeded |n overcom|ng the recess|on. ther Luropean
countr|es, w|th the except|on of Spa|n, have a|so begun
to recover.
A|though centra| banks have supp||ed |arge amounts of
