IMF Downgraded Global Growth Outlook due to Trade Tensions

IMF Downgraded Global Growth Outlook due to Trade Tensions

The International Monetary Fund (or IMF) cut its estimates for global growth for this year and for 2019, citing trade tensions between the US and its trading partners. It now estimates the global growth will come in at 3.7% in 2018 as compared to its previous estimate of 3.9%. The “World Economic Outlook” report is published twice a year, in April and October.
