WORLD BANK: Global Economy’s Expected to Slow Sharply in 2023

Investing.com — The global economy will slow this year as high inflation keeps alive the risk of a recession, according to the latest assessment by the World Bank.

Global growth is forecast to slow to 1.7% this year, after estimating last June that it would grow at a 3% rate in 2023.

The lower rate, if it comes to pass, would make this year among the weakest years for growth in three decades, ranking third worst after only the financial crisis in 2009 and the downturn in 2020 at the start of the pandemic.

The downturn was expected to be widespread. The 2023 forecast is revised down for 95% of advanced economies and 70% of emerging market and developing economies, the World Bank said.
