IMF: Global economy to grow by 3.6%

The global economy is strengthening but faces threats from super-low inflation and outflows of capital from emerging economies, the International Monetary Fund warned.

The lending organisation expects the global economy to grow 3.6% this year and 3.9% in 2015, up from 3% last year. Those figures are just one-tenth of a percentage point below the IMF’s previous forecasts in January.
