The latest report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) published on Monday revealed that the probability of global growth in 2023 falling below 2% is far more likely than previous estimations suggested. 

"Overall, the estimated probability of global growth in 2023 falling below 2.0 percent- an outcome that has occurred on only five occasions since 1970 (in 1973, 1981, 1982, 2009, and 2020)––is now about 25 percent: more than double the normal probability," the IMF said in its World Economic Outlook Report.

The report further noted that chances for the world economy to return to a pace consistent with economic growth that occurred prior to the shocks of 2022 are increasingly elusive.

The agency has historically been responsible for impoverishing already in-debt economies across the world, including Tunisia and Pakistan. 

On March 26, IMF director Kristalina Georgieva said that China is expected to contribute significantly to global economic development, making up approximately one-third of it in 2023.

The "strong rebound" in the Chinese economy, according to Georgieva, is significant for the entire world.

Georgieva emphasized that China's recovery provides a welcome boost to the global economy, noting that, according to an IMF study, an increase in China's GDP growth of one percentage point results in average growth of three percentage points in other Asian nations.
