IMF offers bleak appraisal
of stalled world economy
Forecast: U.S.,
Europe causing
economic concerns
worldwide
TOKYO (AP) - Plagued by
uncertainty and fresh setbacks,
the world economy has weakened
further and will grow more
slowly over the next year, the
International Monetary Fund
says in its latest forecast.
Advanced economies
are risking recession, the
internationallendingorganization
said in a quarterly update of its
World Economic Outlook, and
the malaise is spreading to more
dynamic emerging economies
such as China.
The IMF forecasts that the
world economy will expand 3.3
percent this year, down from the
estimate of 3.5 percent growth
it issued in July. Its forecast for
growth in 2013 is 3.6 percent,
down from 3.9 percent three
months ago and 4.1 percent in
April.
Underpinning that bleaker
scenario are the assumptions
that Europe will continue to
ease monetary policy and that
the U.S. will avert a crushing
blow to growth by fending off a
so-called "fiscal cliff" that could
result from a failure to reach a
compromise on its budget law
and tax cuts.
Conditions could worsen if the
United States doesn't deal with
its budget crisis soon, the IMF
said.
"Downside risks have
increased and are considerable,"
the fund said. It said its forecasts
arebased"oncriticalpolicyaction
in the euro area and the United
States, and it is very difficult to
estimate the probability that this
action will materialize."
The IMF has urged the U.S.
to raise the ceiling on the level
of debt the government can
issue, which is capped by law.
In August 2011, a battle between
the Obama administration and
Congress over raising the. limit
wasn't resolved until the U.S.
almost defaulted on its debt.
Global efforts to ease credit
and increase the amount of
money available for lending are
helping, but appear to be yielding
diminishing returns, as are
fiscal stimulus policies, the IMF
warned.
"Because uncertainty is high,
confidence is low, and financial
sectors are weak, the significant
fiscal achievements have been
accompanied by disappointing
growth or recessions," it said.
Among other things, it says
governments need to do more to
relieve the burden of household
debt that is constraining
spending power and thus
crippling demand.
While large corporations
pay record low rates for credit,
households and small companies
struggle to obtain bank loans, it
said.
Fortifying domestic demand
is all the more crucial given
weakening trade trends. The
IMF forecasts that growth in
world trade volume will slump
to 3.2 percent this year from 5.8
percent last year and 12.6 percent
in 2010.
"Low growth and uncertainty
in advanced economies are
affecting emerging market
and developing economies
through both trade and financial
channels, adding to homegrown
weaknesses," the IMF's chief
economist, Olivier Blanchard,
said ina statement.
Still, the IMF raised the
U.S. growth forecast slightly,
to 2.2 percent this year from 2
percent in July. For 2013, though,
it expects U.S. growth of 2.1
percent, down from 2.3 percent.
Among the 17 nations that
use the euro, low growth in the
major "core economies," such
as Germany and France, will be
offset by outright contractions in
the smaller economies, leading
real gross domestic product to
fall by about 0.4 percent in 2012,
the IMF said.
It forecasts growth in the
euro area will stay flat in the first
half of 2013 and tick up to about 1
percent in the second half of the
year, the IMF said.
The report was released
just ahead of the World Bank-
IMF annual meeting, which is
being held in Tokyo this week.
The gathering of some 10,000
bankers, executives and officials
will likely refocus attention on
Japan's failure to escape its own
economic slump two decades
after its own financial implosion
in the early 1990s.
The IMF said it expects
growth in Japan to hit 2.2
percent this year but to slacken
further as reconstruction from
the March 2011 disasters winds
down, falling to 1.2 percent in
2013.
Japan, whose population is
both shrinking and aging faster
than elsewhere, is confronting
problems of high debt and
stagnation, it said.
As usual, the bright spots
are developing economies that
were less affected by the global.
financial crisis, where rising
employment and strong demand
will help support growth, the
IMF said.
China's economy will likely
expand 7.8 percent this year,
down from July's 8 percent
forecast, though a pickup
in construction projects is
expected to spur growth late
in the year. India's economy
will grow 4.9 percent, down
from 6.1 percent. And Brazil's
growth will be only 1.5 percent,
compared to 2.5 percent.
The IMF advised policymakers
to devise stronger medium-term
fiscal and structural reforms
to shore up confidence in the
growth potential of the advanced
economies.
Only then, will investor
confidence in markets and public
debt be restored.
"Unless governments spell
out how they intend to effect
the necessary adjustment over
the medium term, a cloud of
uncertainty will continue to
hang over the international
economy, with downside risks
for output and employment in
the short term," it said.
