United States: The global economy
will expand faster next year while still facing challenges, such as low
productivity, high income inequality and low inflation, China's Xinhua news
agency reported, citing a senior official with the International Monetary Fund
(IMF), on Monday.
"The most recent IMF forecast,
issued in July, projected global growth at 3.5 per cent this year and 3.6 per
cent in 2018...the fund will issue its next World Economic Outlook in a week,
and there is every reason to see these trends continuing," said Zhang Tao,
deputy managing director of the IMF, at an annual meeting of the National
Association for Business Economics.
Zhang said the IMF's emergency
lending has declined as countries have found their financial footing again as
the impact of the global crisis fades.
However, he warned of the challenges
the global economy is still facing, such as low productivity growth, income
polarisation in some advanced economies, and low inflation.
"Innovation has reshaped labor
and product markets. However, this disruptive change has taken place without an
apparent increase in productivity," said Zhang.
Low productivity growth has also
contributed to the rise of income inequality in advanced economies, because it
has become more difficult to raise living standards due to low productivity,
according to the official.
Another challenge facing the global
economy is low inflation linked to the low level of wage growth, said Zhang.
He attributed low wage growth to
structural forecasts, such as weak productivity growth, aging population and
the increasing consolidation of companies.
"Achieving stronger growth will
require the right combination of policies, especially to reinforce labor and
capital markets," said Zhang. He called for a range of reforms to improve
efficiency and competitiveness of the global economy.
