Global economic growth slows in 2023-2024
The growth of the world economy is slowing down in 2023 and will decline further next year, with a slowdown affecting developed countries more and emerging countries less. In its World Economic Outlook presented at the annual meeting in Marrakech, the Fund expects global GDP to grow by 3% from 3.5% in 2022 to reach +2.9% in 2024 (the previous estimate was +3%) . Among the causes of the slowdown, the report indicates the war in Ukraine, the growing fragmentation of the economy and some more cyclical ones such as the anti-inflation monetary tightening, the withdrawal of public aid and extreme climate events.
