So predicted the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its <strong>World Economic Outlook<\/strong> on Tuesday (31).<\/p>\n<p>The Fund projects that global growth will fall from an estimated 3.4% in 2022 to 2.9% in 2023, then rise to 3.1% in 2024. The forecast is higher than predicted in the last IMF survey but below the historical average of 3.8%. Global inflation is expected to fall from 8.8% in 2022 to 6.6% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, still above pre-pandemic levels of about 3.5%.<\/p>\n<p>The agency said that the rise in central bank rates to fight inflation and <strong>Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine<\/strong> continue to weigh on economic activity. According to the IMF, the rapid spread of <strong>COVID-19 in China<\/strong> dampened growth last year, but the recent reopening has paved the way for a faster-than-expected recovery.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, the Fund said adverse risks have moderated since the October 2022 World Economic Forum. According to the agency, a stronger boost from pent-up demand in numerous economies or a faster fall in inflation are plausible.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, severe health outcomes in China could hold back the recovery, and the war could tighten global financing costs, thus worsening debt distress. The Fund envisions that financial markets could also suddenly reprice in response to adverse inflation news, while further geopolitical fragmentation could hamper economic progress.<\/p>\n<p>The IMF said that in most economies, amid the <strong>cost-of-living crisis<\/strong>, the priority remains achieving sustained disinflation. The Fund suggested the deployment of tools to strengthen debt restructuring frameworks and the acceleration of COVID-19 vaccinations in China to safeguard the world recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The agency added in its report that it believes that <strong>fiscal support<\/strong> should be better targeted at those most affected by elevated food and energy prices, and broad-based fiscal relief measures should be withdrawn. According to the IMF, stronger <strong>multilateral cooperation<\/strong> is essential to preserve the gains from the rules-based multilateral system and to mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-324080\">\u00a9CNSPhoto\/Imaginechina\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Price increases are expected to alleviate in 2023, but global growth is also projected to fall, according to the World Economic Outlook.
