Its just a routine report. But its coming out tonight, so I just figured some people may want to learn what they can from it.

With a global recession I'll be curious to see how they try to spin it.


IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve, the UN, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission (and Bank for International Settlements, BIS) are all money-hungry murderous organizations that will stop at nothing to further their agendas. Just had to throw that in there

IMF is yet another Rothschild based entity. Don't expect to hear anything of truth or real value.

So the numbers are looking good for growth in the eastern and developing nations. Some of the middle east nations are stagnating or declining, thats likely due to war and such. The developed economies of Europe have a lower percentage, but are doing a bit better than North America, which had its forecast revised down a bit. Japan has some forward momentum, but IMO, this could be due to increased defense production seeing how they have been quite accommodating with standing their ground against North Korea and China.

Overall the global economy is set for a 3.5% growth this year, and 3.5% or 2018. Not quite at the pre-crisis levels, but an establishing pattern of growth is establishing itself. Perhaps that is what war and destruction of countries is for. Once a state is demolished to the ground, the only way forward is up, or growth. Unfortunately those who will be doing the building will be from our Eastern rivals, which is likely why their growth forecasts are so much higher than ours.

I'll copy and paste some of the more raw numbers they got down below. I will highlight some of the categories expanded upon in the report here, but you need to visit the page to get the full context.

World Economic Outlook Update, July 2017
The Global Economy Maintains Momentum - The cyclical recovery continues. Growth outturns in the first quarter of 2017 were higher than the April WEO forecasts in large emerging and developing economies such as Brazil, China, and Mexico, and in several advanced economies including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. High-frequency indicators for the second quarter provide signs of continued strengthening of global activity. Specifically, growth in global trade and industrial production remained well above 2015–16 rates despite retreating from the very strong pace registered in late 2016 and early 2017. Purchasing managers’ indices (PMIs) signal sustained strength ahead in manufacturing and services.
Please review report for a summary of the following categories:

• Commodities and inflation
  
• Bond and equity markets
  
• Exchange rates and capital flows
  
• Advanced economies
  
• Emerging and developing economies
  
• Policies
  
• Risks
  

Global Growth Forecast to Pick up in 2017 and 2018 - Global growth for 2016 is now estimated at 3.2 percent, slightly stronger than the April 2017 forecast, primarily reflecting much higher growth in Iran and stronger activity in India following national accounts revisions. Economic activity in both advanced economies and emerging and developing economies is forecast to accelerate in 2017, to 2 percent and 4.6 percent respectively, with global growth projected to be 3.5 percent, unchanged from the April forecast. The growth forecast for 2018 is 1.9 percent for advanced economies, 0.1 percentage point below the April 2017 WEO, and 4.8 percent for emerging and developing economies, the same as in the spring. The 2018 global growth forecast is unchanged at 3.6 percent. The revisions reflect primarily the macroeconomic implications of changes in policy assumptions for the world’s two largest economies, the United States and China, as discussed below.
