2) IMF 2022 / 2023 Global Outlook
- Key Drivers – Global fight against inflation, Russia’s war in Ukraine, Resurgence of COVID-19 in China
- Domestic Economic Strength – Stronger-than-expected private consumption, Greater-than-anticipated fiscal support, Spending increased through savings as economies reopened, Business investment rose to meet demand
- Supply Side – Easing bottlenecks & declining transportation costs reduced pressures on input prices, Energy markets have adjusted faster than expected
- 2022 Q4 – Growth faded in in all major economies except United States.
- COVID-19 Deepens Slowdown in China – Economy slowed in Q4, Outbreaks in Beijing & densely populated areas, Renewed lockdown, Full-reopening in Jan 2023, Real estate contracts, Developer restructuring, Downward pressure on housing prices
Economy Upside Risks
- Pent-up demand boost – Fueled by the stock of excess private savings from the pandemic fiscal support, Boost to consumption such as services & tourism, Pent-up demand could fuel stronger rebound in China
- Faster disinflation – Easing labor market pressures in some advanced economies due to falling vacancies could cool wage inflation without increasing unemployment, Sharp fall in the prices of goods as consumers shift back to services could further push down inflation, could imply a “softer” landing with less monetary tightening.
Economy Downside Risks
- China’s recovery stalling – Still-low population immunity levels & insufficient hospital capacity, Real estate market remains a major source of vulnerability, Spillovers to the rest of the world would operate primarily through lower demand and potentially renewed supply chain problems
- War in Ukraine escalating – Major source of vulnerability, particularly for Europe & lower-income countries. Gas prices for Europe as China demand picks up, With elevated food and fuel prices, social unrest may increase
- Debt distress – High debt levels from the pandemic, lower growth, and higher borrowing costs exacerbates the vulnerability of economies, especially those with significant near-term dollar financing needs. 15% of low-income countries are estimated to be in debt distress, with an additional 45% at high risk of debt distress and about 25% of emerging market economies also at high risk.
- Inflation persisting – Labor market tightness could translate into stronger-than-expected wage growth, Higher-than-expected oil, gas, & food prices from the war in Ukraine, Faster rebound in China’s growth could again raise headline inflation and pass through into underlying inflation. Such developments require an even tighter monetary policy.
- Sudden financial market repricing – Unfavourable inflation data releases could trigger sudden repricing of assets and increase volatility in financial markets. Such movements could strain liquidity and the functioning of critical markets, with ripple effects on the real economy
- Geopolitical fragmentation – War in Ukraine and the related international sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end hostilities are splitting the world economy into blocs and reinforcing earlier geopolitical tensions, such as US-China trade dispute.
IMF Policy Priorities
- Securing global disinflation – To achieve a sustained reduction in inflation toward target levels
- Containing the reemergence of COVID-19 – Coordinated efforts to boost vaccination & medicine access in countries where coverage remains low, Global push toward sequencing and sharing data
- Ensuring financial stability – Macro-prudential tools can be used to tackle pockets of elevated financial sector vulnerabilities)
- Restoring debt sustainability – Lower growth & higher borrowing costs have raised public debt ratios
- Supporting the vulnerable – Surge in global energy and food prices triggered a cost-of-living crisis
- Reinforcing supply – Supply-side policies could address the key structural factors impeding growth, Push for investment along the supply chain of green energy technologies would bolster energy security and help advance progress on the green transition
- Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation – Limit the risks stemming from geopolitical fragmentation to ensure cooperation. More info below
Urgent Actions to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation Needed
- Restraining the pandemic
- Addressing debt distress
- Strengthening global trade
- Using the global financial safety net
Speeding the green transition
