IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas presented the financial agency’s latest global growth projections and key policy recommendations in Washington DC.
The announcement comes amid concerns over high inflation rates and slow global growth.
The IMF has predicted that global growth will be “around 3 percent” per year for the next five years, according to IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva.

In a speech in Washington DC, Ms Georgieva highlighted that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and its disruption of the supply of oil and other materials, was to blame for slow economic growth.
