IMF: Global economic recovery 'weakening'
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned again of
a weakening global economic recovery despite government efforts to stimulate
growth.
The global economy is likely to grow at a slower rate
than previously forecast over the next two years, the organisation said in its
latest report.
It said it now expected the eurozone to remain in
recession in 2013, having previously predicted growth.
The IMF said continued problems in the eurozone were
weighing on the global economy.
"The euro area continues to pose a large downside
risk to the global outlook," the IMF report said.
The eurozone's economy is now forecast to shrink by 0.1%
this year. Just three months ago the IMF had forecast 0.2% growth.
