IMF erwartet Wachstumsrückgang
-->RANKFURT, Aug 22 (Reuters) -
The International Monetary Fund in
its World Economic Outlook cut its
growth forecasts for most major
global economies, a newspaper
reported on Thursday.
Germany's Handelsblatt said the
Fund cut its growth outlook for the
U.S. economy for this year by 0.1
percentage point to 2.2 percent
and by 0.8 percentage point to 2.6
percent for 2003.
Handelsblatt said the figures were based on a copy of the IMF's World
Economic Outlook which is due to be released late in September.
The IMF kept its outlook for the global economy unchanged at 2.8
percent growth this year, but lowered the outlook for 2003 by 0.3
percentage point to 3.7 percent.
It also lowered the outlook for the euro zone economy for this year to
1.1 percent and 2.5 percent for next year, but raised the outlook for
Japan this year by 0.5 percentage point to a 0.5 percent contraction.
