World Business Report

Available for over a year

The International Monetary Fund has upgraded its forecast for the global economy in 2023. We look at the new figures and why the institution is feeling more positive about the world’s economic recovery - while warning about remaining threats. Also in the programme, we hear about the economic impact of the wildfires in Greece and the new road being built in Paraguay to rival with the Panama Canal.
