IMF On Global Growth

The S&P has risen more than 7% this year and is up more than 15% from its low in mid-October

The global flows of goods and capital had leveled off after the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, and a surge in trade restrictions seen in subsequent years

At a time when the world is faced with continued economic slowdown and social distress, the international community counts a lot on India's leadership of G-20, IMF MD said

The IMF has not minced any words when it comes to fiscal policy. It has always advocated tight control over the political inclination to spend now and let someone else worry about the future

sia's economy is likely to suffer zero growth this year for the first time in 60 years, the IMF said in a report on the Asia-Pacific region

Noting that a turning point is yet to be reached, the IMF said it was slightly revising downwards the growth outlook for the global economy.

The IMF said its latest World Economic Outlook projections show 2019 GDP growth at 3.0%, down from 3.2% in a July forecast, largely due to increasing fallout from global trade friction

Research shows the impact of the trade conflict is widespread and countries must be ready to respond in unison with cash infusions, Kristalina Georgieva said in her first speech as MD of IMF

In several key economies, growth is being supported by policies that seem unsustainable over the long term

The IMF, in its latest World Economic Outlook, kept its global growth forecasts for both 2018 and 2019 unchanged at 3.9 per cent

IMF panel warned that the global growth is at risk of faltering in coming years given uncomfortably low inflation & rising geopolitical risks
