Emerging markets and developing economies are expected to grow by 3.7% this year, 0.1 percentage points higher than the previous forecast; It will grow by 3.7% next year, 0.2 percentage points lower than the previous forecast. IMF President Georgieva previously said that even if the economy achieves positive growth, people will feel that they have experienced an economic recession because of the shrinking real income and rising prices.

More energy and food price shocks may cause inflation to last longer. A tightening of the global financing environment may lead to widespread debt difficulties in emerging markets. (Liu Xinshe)
