From xm.com|Apr 20, 2024The steering committee for both International Monetary Fund and the World Bank on Saturday emphasized the need for broader accountability as the institutions implemented reforms to help countries grapple with climate change and other shocks.

From forexlive.com|Apr 19, 2024The IMF European regional report is out and says: • Soft landing for European economies is in reach but not assured - • High-debt European economies should consolidate fiscal policy faster than currently envisaged • Monetary policy in advanced Europe needs to match unfolding conditions, easing neither too fast nor too slow • Central banks in the rest of Europe will need to maintain tight policy for longer to fully reel in inflation • Trying to fix competitiveness problems through a subsidy race with trading partners will do more harm ...
From ecb.europa.eu|Apr 19, 2024Since our last meeting in October, the global growth outlook has improved somewhat, reflecting revised growth prospects across both advanced and emerging market economies. The disinflationary process has continued amid falling energy prices, the normalisation of supply conditions and tight monetary policy. While the global economy has weathered the tightening of monetary policy well, growth prospects remain subpar by historical standards. Risks to the global outlook are broadly balanced for both economic activity and inflation, though rising geopolitical tensions pose an upside risk to inflation and a downside risk to growth. post: ECB'S PRESIDENT LAGARDE: THE DISINFLATION PROCESS IN THE EURO AREA HAS CONTINUED. post: ECB’s Lagarde: if Inflation Criteria Met, It Would Be Appropriate to Reduce the Current Level of MonPol Restriction ECB’s Lagarde: at the Same Time, the Governing Council is Not Pre-Committing to a Particular Rate Path post: ECB'S PRESIDENT LAGARDE: IF THE INFLATION CRITERIA IS MET, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO REDUCE THE CURRENT LEVEL OF MONETARY POLICY RESTRICTIONS.
From imf.org|Apr 19, 2024The Middle East and North Africa and the Caucasus and Central Asia regions are positively impacted by the resilience of the global economy. Lower global commodity prices and vigilant policy responses have helped ease inflation in most countries. However, uncertainty and risks have risen amid ongoing conflicts, shipping disruptions, and reduced oil production. This is leading to an uneven recovery across the Middle East and Central Asia, with growth rates varying this year. Policymakers need to ensure economic stability and debt ...
From imf.org|Apr 17, 2024The global economic and financial outlook has improved in the last six months. Inflation has fallen, financial conditions have eased, and risks to the outlook are balanced. However, many countries continue to struggle with high public debt and fiscal deficits amid new challenges from high real interest rates and dimming medium-term growth prospects. Our latest Fiscal Monitor calls for governments to avoid slippages and focus more on rebuilding buffers and safeguarding fiscal sustainability over the medium term. Fiscal policy shifted ...

From home.treasury.gov|Apr 17, 2024Thank you for being here today. Before highlighting priorities for this week, I want to address the unprecedented attack on Israel this past weekend by Iran and its proxies. Treasury will not hesitate to work with our allies to use our sanctions authority to continue disrupting the Iranian regime’s malign and destabilizing activity. Let me now turn to the global economic outlook, which remains resilient. Global growth has consistently exceeded the predictions of many forecasters and the IMF projects it will continue at 3.2 percent ...
From imf.org|Apr 17, 2024A sense of optimism has pervaded financial markets in recent months, amid investor confidence that the fight against inflation is entering its “last mile” and that central banks will ease monetary policy in the coming months. Stock markets around the world have risen substantially this year. Corporate and sovereign borrowing spreads have narrowed.
