IMF sees `disappointing' global growth ahead

Global economic growth will be disappointing next year and the outlook for the medium term has also deteriorated, the head of the International Monetary Fund said in a guest article for German newspaper Handelsblatt published yesterday.

"All of that means global growth will be disappointing and uneven in 2016," IMF managing director Christine Lagarde said, noting that mid-term prospects had also weakened as low productivity, aging populations and the effects of the global financial crisis dampened growth.

In October the IMF forecast the world economy would grow by 3.6 percent in 2016.

Lagarde warned that rising US interest rates and a stronger US dollar could lead to companies defaulting on their payments and this may "infect" lenders and states.

"Most highly- developed economies except the US and possibly Britain will continue to need loose monetary policy," said Lagarde, as she warned of forex risks.

IMF warning of `severe' Brexit damage

The International Monetary Fund said the global economy faces wide-ranging threats from weak growth and rising protectionism, warning of possible "severe" damage should Britain quit the European Union.

It cut its global forecast for the third straight quarter yesterday, saying economic activity has been "too slow for too long" and called for immediate action by the world's economic powers to shore up growth.

It said intensifying financial and political risks around the world, from volatile financial markets to the Syria conflict to global warming, had left the economy "increasingly fragile" and vulnerable to a turn toward recession.

It said it was concerned over "fraying" unity in the EU under pressure from the migration crisis and the "Brexit" possibility.

Seeing a fall in global trade and investment, the IMF cut its forecast for world growth this year to a sluggish 3.2 percent, down 0.2 percentage points from its January outlook, and down from the 3.8 percent pace expected last July.

That reflects a glummer view of growth in both developed and emerging economies, with the forecasts for Japan, Russia, and Nigeria all pared back sharply. Most leading economies, including the United States, saw their growth projections cut back by 0.2 percentage points.

Only the pictures in China and developing eastern Europe were better. But at a slightly upgraded pace of 6.5 percent growth, China was still on track for a significant slowdown from last year which has sparked steep falls in global commodity prices, battering exporters.
