IMF growth refers to the growth of the global economy as forecasted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) . The IMF works to achieve sustainable growth and prosperity for all of its 190 member countries by supporting economic policies that promote financial stability and monetary cooperation, which are essential to increase productivity, job creation, and economic well-being. The IMF releases a World Economic Outlook (WEO) report twice a year, which presents IMF staff economists analyses of global economic developments during the near and medium term. The report includes forecasts for global growth, which is expected to moderate from 5.9% in 2021 to 4.4% in 2022. The IMF also keeps a regular policy dialogue with the governments of its member countries to assess economic conditions and recommend policies that enable sustainable growth.
