Going downhill
Article Abstract:
The IMF is more optimistic than many economists about the prospects for world growth, and recently forecast global GDP growth of 2.6% in 2001 and 3.5% in 2002. This has been revised following the Sep 11, 2001, attacks on the US, but the IMF still does not think the world will slip into recession.

Looking beyond Europe's crisis
Article Abstract:
The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) 1992 'World Economic Outlook' predicts an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for industrialized nations of 2.9% for 1993. Despite the rosy IMF forecast, many economists fear that the European exchange-rate mechanism crisis will inhibit growth.

Still whistling in the gloom
Article Abstract:
The International Monetary Fund's economic forecasts have not been very accurate. Last year the IMF predicted a 1.3% growth rate for industrial economies, and the rate was only 0.8%. Developing countries did much better than its prediction. This year's predictions are analyzed.
