Morgan Stanley is predicting a "slow but sustainable" economic recovery in
the US, and forecasts 2.6% GDP growth by next year.

At its Global Economic Forum, the investment bank says it has increased its
estimate for real growth in the second half of 2009 to 2.75%, from 1.25% a
month ago.

The bank, which based its new estimate on US economic data, says the
recovery may be bumpy but estimates US growth could reach 3.25% - and real
GDP growth 2.6% - in 2010.

Morgan Stanley has identified three factors it says will drive a
sustainable, long-term recovery.

It cites the improvement in financial conditions, saying it is driving
recovery in the credit market, and says the effects of fiscal stimulus are
also beginning to emerge.

Lastly, it says reduced inventory liquidation is beginning to contribute to
growth.
