Deep dives

Mixed outlook with resilience and weak growth

The IMF presents a mixed outlook for the global economy. On one hand, there is resilience with tight labor markets, decreased inflation, and a stable financial system. On the other hand, there are concerns about weak growth in the medium term, with projected growth below the long-term average. Inflation remains a challenge, particularly in services. The world also faces geopolitical risks, such as conflicts in the Middle East and high oil prices. Policymakers need to carefully monitor these factors.
