IMF says global economy beginning to recover

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The International Monetary Fund expects inflation to decline and growth to remain steady in 2024 thanks to resilience in the US and increased fiscal support in China. We hear more about the institution's latest update on its World Economic Outlook. Farmers across Europe have taken to the streets in the last year for different reasons, with the latest protests happening in France. But could there be a common factor in the unrest that is spreading across the European farming industry? We find out. And a two-year stalemate in the government of Northern Ireland has come to an end. It had been caused by a disagreement over Brexit rules. We look at the consequences this will have on the economy.
