Roubini says U.S. economy may dip again next year

Nouriel Roubini, the famously glum economist who predicted the financial crisis, said that while the recession in the United States may well be over at the end of the year, another dip was still possible next year.

"I still expect that economic growth in the U.S. is going to be negative through Q4, and that we'll see positive growth in Q1," Roubini told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the Seoul Digital Forum.

"The U.S. recession is going to be U-shaped, lasting roughly 24 months," he added. "Compared to the current consensus that says we are practically at the end of the recession ... my view is: no, it's going to last another six to nine months before it's over."
