The most recent IMF World Economic Outlook, titled “Steady but Slow: Resilience Amid Divergence,” provides projections for the global economy. It anticipates a 3.2% growth rate for 2024 and 2025, with advanced economies experiencing a slight increase and emerging markets facing a mild deceleration. Additionally, global inflation is expected to steadily decrease. Alessia De Stefano's segment focuses on the impact of recent restrictive monetary policies on housing markets, with a focus on their varying effects across nations. Nan Li's chapter discusses the enduring deceleration in global medium-term growth since the 2008 financial crisis, analyzing factors like changing demographics and private investment. Andrea Presbitero's contribution highlights the increasing importance of G20 emerging markets and offers policy suggestions for their integration into the global economy. This includes strategies to counterbalance a slowdown in China.
