    Read the below passage and attempt the following questions (Q no 1 to 4). In the ever-evolving tapestry of the global economy, policymakers, businesses, and investors rely on a compass that provides insights into the prevailing economic winds and potential storms. A report that is published regularly, serves as an indispensable guide for nations worldwide. Without explicitly naming the report, let's delve into its importance and the role it plays in shaping economic strategies on a global scale. 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. These metrics serve as barometers, providing a snapshot of a country's economic health and its trajectory. Policymakers use this information to fine-tune fiscal and monetary policies, ensuring stability and sustainable growth. In an era of globalization, understanding global trade dynamics is paramount. It examines trends in international trade, identifies emerging patterns, and assesses the impact of geopolitical factors. Nations can adjust their trade policies in response to these insights, fostering a more resilient and adaptable economic environment.

    B 1.3% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2.1% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The baseline forecast is for growth to fall from 3.4 percent in 2022 to 2.8 percent in 2023, before settling at 3.0 percent in 2024. Advanced economies are expected to see an especially pronounced growth slowdown, from 2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.3 percent in 2023. In a plausible alternative scenario with further financial sector stress, global growth declines to about 2.5 percent in 2023 with advanced economy growth falling below 1 percent. Global headline inflation in the baseline is set to fall from 8.7 percent in 2022 to 7.0 percent in 2023 on the back of lower commodity prices but underlying (core) inflation is likely to decline more slowly. Inflation’s return to target is unlikely before 2025 in most cases.
