IMF World economic outlook 07 10 2014

  • IMF say geopolitical risks have worsened
  • Sees lower potential growth in advanced economies
  • Sees increased risk of financial market correction as markets under prices risk
  • Says there’s a 30% chance of the Eurozone falling into deflation and 40% risk of heading back into recession
  • IMF’s Blanchard says that there’s a risk EZ growth could stall (could???) and falling into deflation becoming the major issue confronting the world economy

Funny how 5 minutes after posting about Germany they become one of the countries with the biggest cut in growth.
