WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Global economic growth will remain “resilient” in 2024 after a stronger-than-expected 2023, the International Monetary Fund said on Thursday, but work was needed to boost global growth rates above an anemic 3 percent range for the near term.
IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack told a regular news briefing that the global economy appeared headed for a “soft landing” with inflation subsiding and labor markets resilient, but low-income countries could still fall further behind. The IMF is expected to release an update to its economic forecasts later this month.
