RIO DE JANEIRO, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) predicts that Brazil's economy will contract 0.5 percent in 2015 Cheap Jeff Schlupp Jersey , according to a report released on Wednesday.
The figure, presented in an economic update compiled by the Paris-based agency, represents a downward adjustment of its earlier November forecast, which projected 1.5-percent growth for the South American giant.

The country's government has admitted that the economy may come to a recession, but has issued no figure.

The 20-year-old Liverpool forward has decided to shelve ongoing contract talks until the end of the season. He says he wants to concentrate on Liverpool finishing as high up the table as they possibly can and securing Champions League soccer for next season.
What seems to be a level-headed decision in this world of baby Bentleys and boot deals is being spun into a ruse to earn more money. The latest from the tabloid rumor merchants is that "it is understood that even if Liverpool offer 180 Cheap Daniel Amartey Jersey ,000 pounds [$265,000] a week he will not sign."
