The World Bank Warns Of A Global Recession In 2023
Economie Fri, 16 Sep 2022 10:46 AM Follow-up / National News Center The World Bank has warned that the world may be on its way to a global recession as central banks around the world raise interest rates simultaneously to combat persistent inflation.
The bank stated in a new study that “the world’s three largest economies – the United States, China and the eurozone – are slowing sharply, and that even a moderate hit to the global economy over the next year could push it into recession.”
He added that “the global economy is now going through its most severe slowdown in the wake of the recovery that followed the recession in 1970 and that consumer confidence has already fallen more sharply than in the period leading up to previous global recessions.”
“Global growth is slowing sharply, and there is the potential for a further slowdown as more countries enter a recession,” World Bank President David Malpass said, expressing concern that these trends will continue, with serious consequences for emerging markets and developing economies. .
The bank stated that “simultaneous increases in interest rates globally and related policy measures are likely to continue in the coming year, but they may not be sufficient to return inflation to levels that it was before the Covid-19 pandemic.”
To drive inflation down, central banks may need to raise interest rates by an additional 2 percentage points, on top of the 2 percentage point increase already achieved above the 2021 average.
But the bank said that “an increase of this size, coupled with financial market pressures, would slow global GDP growth to 0.5% in 2023, or cause a contraction of 0.4% in per capita terms, which would meet the terms of the technical definition of a global recession. .
“Policy makers should shift their focus from reducing consumption to boosting production, including efforts to create additional investment and increase productivity,” Malpass said.
The bank said that “previous recessions have shown the risks of allowing inflation to remain high for a long time while growth is weak, noting that the economic recession in 1982 caused more than 40 debt crises.” https://nnciraq.com/152049/
