The Only Guarantee in Life Is Change

Excerpted from Dr. Joanna Massey’s upcoming book “You Raised Them, Now You Have to Live with Them in the Workplace: How Millennials and Gen Z Are Changing the Way We Work.” Benjamin Franklin famously said that there are only two things that are certain in life—death and taxes.

Illuminating Dark Corners of the Global Economy

By Gita Bhatt, Editor-In-Chief of Finance & Development Magazine and the Acting Chief of Policy Communications at the IMF This issue of Finance & Development reminds me of a Sufi parable. A woman sees a mystic searching for something outside his door. “What have you lost?” she asks. “My key,” he responds. So they both kneel down to look for it. “Where exactly did you drop it?” she asks after a few minutes. “In my house,” he replies. “Then why...

September 2019 FX Outlook

Three forces are shaping the investment climate.  The US-China trade conflict escalates at the start of September as both will raise tariffs on each other's goods and are threatening another round in mid-December (US 25% tariffs on $250 of Chinese imports will increase to 30% on October 1).  Some third parties may benefit from the re-casting of supply chains, but the first impact is understood to weaken growth impulses.  That is aggravating the slowdown already evident in several large economies...

Sluggish Global Growth Calls for Supportive Policies

In our July update of the World Economic Outlook we are revising downward our projection for global growth to 3.2 percent in 2019 and 3.5 percent in 2020. While this is a modest revision of 0.1 percentage points for both years relative to our projections in April, it comes on top of previous significant downward revisions. The revision for 2019 reflects negative surprises for growth in emerging market and developing economies that offset positive surprises in some advanced economies. Growth...
