The global economy is losing momentum, hamstrung by the pandemic, while rising inflation gives governments and central banks less room to maneuver, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday.
This weakness is partially offset by stronger near-term prospects for commodity-exporting, emerging-market economies.The IMF now sees global growth of 5.9% this year — down one-tenth of a percent from July — and then slowing to 4.9% growth in 2022. The IMF now sees consumer inflation in rich countries rising by 2.8% this year — up four-tenths from July — and 2.3% in 2022.The IMF predicted “amid high uncertainty” that headline inflation will return to pre-pandemic levels by mid-2022. There are upside risks to this forecast for the United States and the U.K., the agency warned.
