Recommendation

In a thorough analysis of the global economy, analysts at the International Monetary Fund examine a world on the edge of recovery. As dust clears from the financial crisis, they describe the new landscape. Their diagnoses are excellent, but only time will tell if their prescriptions for fiscal consolidation and structural reform are on the money. The IMF’s influence is so broad and pervasive that its opinions alone can move markets. Thus, understanding tomorrow’s pivotal issues may depend on knowing what the IMF says today. getAbstract recommends this thorough report on how the IMF sees the world to policy makers, business leaders, academics and students.

Take-Aways

  • The global economy continues to struggle under the legacy of the 2008 financial crisis.
  • The end of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing and the resulting higher interest rates could derail the already anemic recovery. Markets may be underpricing risk.
  • Low inflation plagues many advanced nations, particularly in the euro zone. In China, a real estate correction threatens short-term growth.
