(AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) The US recession will end this year, but fragile financial markets and sapped consumer wealth will keep the pace of recovery sluggish, an influential Paris-based economic prognosticator said today. The OECD—Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development—predicted that the US economy will shrink by 2.8% this year and grow by just 0.9% in 2010. The OECD also said that the housing market slump "may be approaching an end" and that the supply of unsold homes is declining.
