THERE is a growing danger that global economic growth will continuing slowing to "stalling speed", the International Monetary Fund warned on Tuesday in its latest World Economic Outlook (WEO), citing an array of economic and geo-political grounds for increased concern.

"Global growth continues, but at an increasingly disappointing pace that leaves the world economy more exposed to negative risks," said the IMF in the latest issue of its quarterly flagship report. Growth, it said, "has been too slow for too long".
