The International Monetary Fund cut its global growth forecast for 2021 on Tuesday, citing supply chain disruptions and pandemic-related health concerns.
In the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) World Economic Outlook report, released Tuesday, the IMF’s economists share anticipations for global economic growth measuring 5.9% in 2021, a downgrade from their 6% projection in July.
The downgrade comes as supply chain disruptions in advanced economies worsen and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerates in emerging markets, according to the report. The IMF predicts global economic growth of 4.9% in 2022.
