IMF States They Will Refresh Their Global Forecast in July but Notes That Risks and Uncertainty Are Still High 🚨📉
IMF On Inflation: Damper on Inflation Due to Weak Demand and Lower Energy Rates, Indicating Ongoing Drop Amid Country Differences.
IMF reports that inflation is expected to continue declining due to cooling demand and falling energy prices, though the pace will vary across countries.
The International Monetary Fund’s latest World Economic Outlook update projects global output will expand 2.8% in 2025 before edging up to 3.0% in 2026, signaling a modest acceleration in activity over the two-year horizon. Headline inflation is expected to continue easing, slowing to 4.3% next year and 3.6% in 2026 as weaker demand and lower energy costs take hold, although the IMF notes the disinflation path will differ across economies. The Fund said it plans to refresh the forecasts in July and cautioned that risks and uncertainty surrounding the outlook remain high.
