    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.
