Low was optimistic that the financial crisis of 2007-2008 would not be particularly harmful to the economy, stating "The turmoil in financial markets hasn"t as yet really federal through as much as it might into the real economy." He predicted a general slowdown of the economy in 2011, but denied that his view was indicative of a recession, stating that "You may call it a slowdown, but I would say it’s a return to the normal trend." He remained pessimistic in 2013, when asked about the World Trade Organization"s trade forecast for the year, noting the trade growth to Gross Domestic Product ratio had been 1:1 instead of a traditionally expected 2:1, but added "we would expect to see that relationship re-establish itself.".
