Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Quick Glance: Brazil Moves to Relax Fiscal Targets Set a Year Ago

The leftist administration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wants more flexibility on budget surplus goals

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s government is seeking to loosen its own budget targets as investor concerns rise about the risk of fiscal slippage in Latin America’s largest economy

Ministers intend to balance the budget next year, replacing the previous goal for income to exceed outgoings by 0.5 per cent of gross domestic product

Analysts warn that the current deficit targets are unrealistic and likely to be tweaked, prompting investors to express concerns about Brazil’s economic approach under Lula

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

US deficit poses ‘significant risks’ to global economy, warns IMF: Fund also cites concerns over fiscal ‘imbalances’ in UK, China and Italy

Quick Glance: IMF Warns of Fiscal Deficits in US and China

The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.

Concerns were also raised about Chinese government debt, with the country projected to have a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025, more than double the average for other emerging markets.

In addition to the US and China, the fund named two more countries that “critically need to take policy action to address fundamental imbalances between spending and revenues”.

The IMF noted that “large and sudden increases” in US borrowing costs typically lead to surges in government bond yields globally and exchange rate turbulence in emerging markets and developing economies.
