IMF: "Growth slows global economy"
The International Monetary Fund has sent a 'warning' to the world about global growth. Several large economies show a slowdown caused by various factors. The IMF warns of a sudden turnaround on the stock markets.
Do we have to prepare for harsh times? It is not that bad for the time being, but the International Monetary Fund warns us that the global financial conditions are being smashed. If the situation deteriorates at a rapid pace, only then investors should really start to worry.
"A worsening of theses developments, or faster-than-anticipated monetary policy tightening in advanced economies, increasing the risk of sudden reversal in global risk appetite.
The report of the International Monetary Fund is published annually and provides investors and investors with an overview of recent economic developments, risks and prospects. This is the first annual report in more than 5 years that is less positive than its predecessor, which is getting used to for the financial markets."
Factors
Therefore, various factors play an important role in the detriment of the global economy. There is the trade war between the United States of America and China, the interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve, the concerns about oil prices and the 'sale' of the emerging markets.
"Although we are still enjoying a high level of growth, that growth is plateauing."
However, we must not panic, said IMF director in the Middle East and Central Asia Jihah Azour. Economic growth is still present and we are not falling into a recession. The growth pattern now shows a plateau rather than a solid upward trend.
