- World Economic Outlook, published in April, highlights that economic activity was surprisingly resilient during the global disinflation of 2022-23. Growth in employment and incomes held steady despite monetary tightening in major economies to restore price stability. However, the medium-term outlook remains weak, raising concerns about prospects for middle- and lower-income countries to close the income gap with richer countries. The IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific hosted a seminar with the lead authors of the report to discuss these issues. Rui Mano presented on global economic prospects and shared insights from thematic analysis on monetary policy transmission and housing and mortgages markets. Diaa Noureldin presented on the dimming global growth prospects and what it would take to revive medium-term growth.
