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.

Netanyahu too ‘busy’ to talk to Sunak after RAF helped repel Iranian attack: Israeli leader faces domestic pressure to rebuff international calls for restraint

Quick Glance: Netanyahu's Busy Schedule Hinders Communication with Sunak Post-RAF Assistance Against Iranian Attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet managed to engage in a conversation with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak following the assistance provided by Royal Air Force warplanes in defending the Jewish state from an Iranian aerial assault.

Efforts are still underway to arrange a discussion between the two leaders, as Netanyahu is under significant domestic pressure to reject calls from the UK, the US, and the EU for restraint after Iran's attack.

Sunak stated in the House of Commons on Monday that the UK is urgently collaborating with allies to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed, mentioning that he will communicate with Netanyahu 'shortly'.

With Netanyahu's right-wing coalition partners pushing for substantial retaliation against Iran, Israel's western allies are advocating for caution and restraint to prevent a regional conflict.

Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say

An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.

The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.

The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.

It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.
