Some global perspectives
The world economy is anticipating inflation and recession. The developed countries are particularly worried about it.

To tame inflation, central banks of the world have been increasing policy rates.
On October 25, 2023 the United Nations released a report titled 'United Nations World Economic Situation and prospects 2023'. The report mentions that in 2022 the world average GDP growth rate was 3%. But it may come down to 1.9% in 2023, the lowest in several decades. The report also stated that it may go up to 2.7% in 2024 - depending on favourable conditions.
