IMF World Outlook

 

The International Monetary Fund’s executive board has decided to keep Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in her leadership position after allegations of data manipulation from her time at the World Bank.

In the meantime, she’s taking a high-profile role in annual meetings this week.

On Tuesday, in its World Economic Outlook, the IMF trimmed its 2021 global growth forecast to 5.9 percent and left a 2022 forecast unchanged at just under five percent.
