What's inside?
Changes and challenges remain as the worldâs economies enter a new phase.
Recommendation
With the global financial meltdown in the rear view mirror, the worldâs economies are traveling in new directions. Once battered by crisis, advanced economies are showing modest growth and good potential, while the formerly buoyant emerging nations are butting against structural and cyclical economic problems. Both camps must deal with high and chronic unemployment with its social, political and fiscal ramifications. Pending unknowns â like the impact of the anticipated end of the US Federal Reserveâs easing and a slowdown in Chinaâs growth â create significant new risks. Teams of researchers and analysts from the International Monetary Fund tracked the worldâs economies to assess their conditions and make some informed projections about 2014 and beyond. getAbstract sees the IMFâs comprehensive approach and reasoned analysis about the state of the global economy as required reading for bankers, business executives and economists.
