Expect underwhelming spring meetings in Washington
Mixed and tepid global growth outlook amid irksome tectonic forces
THE world’s finance ministers and central bank governors will descend on Washington, DC this week for the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.

The IMF’s World Economic Outlook should maintain a 3 per cent purchasing power parity-weighted global growth handle.
