We can handle economic challenges - Rudd
Slowing economic prompting fears of a recession
Budget took into account economic slow-down

The Federal Government is in a strong position to steer Australia through what are difficult economic times, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says.

Recent economic data has shown the economy is slowing, prompting speculation about the chances of a recession.

Figures released last week showed growth in retail spending in June was at its weakest in six years, hampered by the highest interest rates in 12 years and record petrol prices.

Mr Rudd today said it was clear that growth had slowed, adding that the economic slow-down had been forecast in the Federal Government`s budget papers.

But, he said, the Government was well placed to deal with the challenges confronting the economy.

"We believe that we have a strong economic course of action to take Australia through these difficult global economic times," Mr Rudd told the Nine Network.

Mr Rudd said the Government`s ability to deal with the prospect of a slowing economy was anchored in a $22 billion budget surplus.

"The nation needs a clear direction," he said.

"That clear direction has to be based on responsible economic management and responsible economic management remains anchored in a $22 billion budget surplus - a buffer for the future."
