Global growth will fall sharply

To achieve this result, the IMF takes into account many factors, such as rising global inflation, global supply difficulties, supply disruptions, and the war in Ukraine. Based on these factors, the organization has compiled an overall worrying finding: global growth is expected to fall from 6% in 2021 to 3.2% in 2022 and 2.7% in 2023.

As a reminder, GDP is an economic indicator that is used as a reference for measuring the production of a country’s wealth because it includes the value of all goods and services produced in the past year.
