The International Monetary Fund has scaled back its forecast for global economic growth in 2016 from 3.1 per cent to three per cent. The global economy is now forecast to expand by 3.4 per cent in 2017, compared with previous expectations of 3.5 per cent growth. The UK’s vote to leave the European Union contributed to the decision to downgrade the growth forecasts, while the IMF adds that a range of geopolitical risks could also affect global growth.
