have become gloomier in the last few months about economic propspects for 1979 says the Conference Board in Canada In its April survey of 18 major forecasts released today the board discovered the group had lowered its expected rate of economic growth to three per cent from the 33 per cent an ticipated last October It also revised its expected in flation rate for the year to 82 per cent from 76 per cent pre dicted five months ago Paul Fenton the boards na tional forecasting economist explained the apparent deterio ration in the economic outlook as fallout from last years dramatic drop in the value of the dollar During the 12 months ending Dec 31 the dol lar dropped in value to 839 cents US from January 1978 value of9l cents US Fenton says It is natural for an economy approaching the latter stages of an ad justment to the depreciation of its currency to exhibit some pockets of strength and some of weakness in fact that is what appears to be happening in the Canadian economy at the present time One encouraging change in the economists predictions was that as group their average unemployment forecast for the year dropped to 84 per cent from the 89 per cent in the boards last survey Their forecast for the 1979 surplus in merchandise trade balance with the rest of the world has remained unchanged since October at $38 billion The 1978 surplus was $346 bil lion The major concern of most forecasters was that new infla tion might develop because of high wage settlements and large price increases This would have debilitating effect on the economy in general and on Canadas trade prospects par ticular Fenton said second worry was that an anticipatecd slowdown in the United States economy later this year will prevent Canada from selling as much there are exporters hope The forecasters noted however that export in dUStries particularly manufac turing and forestry have ex perienced attractive markets and high profits since the dollar began to drop in value last spr ing They predicted this would lead to new spending on machinery and equipment which would improve invest ment and job prospects Killer admits to 50 murders PHNOM PENH Reuter Sao Hem is
