Available for over a year

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has given a brighter outlook in its latest report, predicting that inflation will slow and European economies had shown more resilience. The agency says the abandonment by China of its zero-Covid policy has paved the way for a faster-than-expected recovery for most countries. Growth is now expected to be 2.9%.
