5% Globally; 10.5% in Asia/Pacific and 1.2% in North America
The "define a recovery" debate grows more tedious with repetition.
What is clear is that a disconnected Asia/Pacific is on a firm upward trend.
Europe is hesitant and is held back by a miserable UK performance.
North America and the USA are showing slight positive growth largely because the 2009 comparison base was so negative.
Africa and, especially, the Middle East have been less affected than other regions; both are showing double digit growth.
Latin America is more fragile as the early airport returns for January confirm.
