At a Glance…: The world economy

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2020

Abstract

  • The world economy is expected to grow by 3.0 per cent in 2015, unchanged from our August forecast, and by 3.4 per cent in 2016, marginally weaker than projected last time. Growth in emerging market economies has weakened further; recoveries have remained hesitant in the advanced economies.

  • The projected pickup in global growth next year will be supported by accommodative monetary policies and lower oil prices. Growth should strengthen further in 2017 as recoveries take hold in some key emerging markets. But considerable risks remain.

  • We expect the US Federal Reserve to lead the turn in official interest rates in December, with the Bank of England following next February.
