Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - World economic outlook : growth slowdown, precarious recovery

Publication: Washington, DC : Fondo Monetario Internacional, 2019Physical description: 216 p.Series: (World economic and financial surveys)Notes: Sumario: One year ago economic activity was accelerating in almost all regions of the world and the global economy was projected to grow at 3.9 percent in 2018 and 2019. One year later, much has changed: the escalation of USChina trade tensions, macroeconomic stress in Argentina and Turkey, disruptions to the auto sector in Germany, tighter credit policies in China, and financial tightening alongside the normalization of monetary policy in the larger advanced economies have all contributed to a significantly weakened global expansion, especially in the second half of 2018. With this weakness expected to persist into the first half of 2019, the World Economic Outlook (WEO) projects a decline in growth in 2019 for 70 percent of the global economy. Global growth, which peaked at close to 4 percent in 2017, softened to 3.6 percent in 2018, and is projected to decline further to 3.3 percent in 2019. Although a 3.3 percent global expansion is still reasonable, the outlook for many countries is very challenging, with considerable uncertainties in the short term, especially as advanced economy growth rates converge toward their modest long-term potential.Related records: Traducido bajo el título: Perspectivas de la economía mundial : desaceleración del crecimiento, precaria recuperaciónMateria / lugar / evento: Desarrollo económico Finanzas internacionales Perspectivas económicas Datos macroeconómicos Indicadores económicos Crecimiento económico Estadísticas Otros autores: Fondo Monetario Internacional
