Revised official data this week showed that the economy contracted by 0.3 percent in the first quarter, a bigger fall than the earlier -0.2 percent estimate. After the first estimate was released, Weale said it strengthened the case for more Bank asset purchases - though he did not vote for more at May's Monetary Policy Committee meeting. ...
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Investors will grapple next week with major U.S. economic reports and the looming possibility of a Greek exit from the euro zone, which is likely to keep dragging on equities for weeks to come.

As Greece creaks under its untenable debt and a shrinking economy, the possibility that it could stop using the euro is becoming increasingly likely.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Canadian economy probably expanded at a significantly slower rate in the first quarter than the Bank of Canada had predicted in January, and in fact its spare capacity may have risen, a Reuters survey of analysts showed on Friday. The median forecast of an annualized growth rate of 1.8 percent compared with the central bank's 2.5 percent forecast and matched the lukewarm fourth quarter rate. The Bank of Canada has estimated that the growth in economic capacity rises by 2 percent a year, so any economic growth below that rate means a wider output gap. ...
