The world is intricately interconnected through trade, finance, and technology. What happens in one corner of the globe can send ripples across borders, affecting economies near and far. It serves as a panoramic view, offering a nuanced understanding of the prevailing economic conditions, potential risks, and emerging opportunities. At the heart of the report, are key macroeconomic indicators, including GDP growth rates, inflation, and unemployment.

    Solution

    Recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released its World Economic Outlook (WEO) Update, which has marginally improved the forecast for global growth in 2023. The global growth, which was estimated at 3.4% in 2022, is now projected to fall to 2.9% in 2023 before rising to 3.1% in 2024. The IMF effectively rules out a global recession. Negative growth in global GDP (Gross Domestic Product) or global GDP per capita—which often happens when there is a global recession—is not expected. Instead, it expects global growth to bottom out in 2023 before starting to gather speed in 2024.
