The health of the global economy continues to improve, said the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which however urged not to "relax" because recovery "three speed" that is taking place, with the emerging head and the area euro in the caboose, can be "dangerous".
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington today filed its report "Global Economic Prospects", which predicts that the global economy will grow by 3.3% this year and 4% in 2014, and keeps the eurozone as the main brake on growth.
"We've gone from a two-speed recovery to a three-speed recovery," he told a press conference the IMF's chief economist, Olivier Blanchard, who placed the emerging frontline, followed by the United States in a distant second and the euro area in the caboose.
A recovery of this type "is dangerous," said Blanchard, who insisted that it is time to "relax".
The study presented today welcomes the past six months in advanced countries have disabled two of the greatest short-term threat to the global economy: the possible breakup of the euro zone and a strong U.S. fiscal contraction.
The eurozone will contract by 0.3% this year, with medium-term challenges as "fiscal adjustment fatigue, insufficient institutional reforms and a prolonged stagnation."
France will close this year in recession, with a decline of gross domestic product (GDP) of 0.1% (compared to 0.3% growth forecast in January), and Italy sharpen its contraction in 2013 to 1.5% ( from the 1.1% forecast three months ago).
Germany, European locomotive, see revised slightly upwards its growth in 2013, 0.5% forecast in January to 0.6% today, the only increase in the Fund's forecasts for euro zone country.
Meanwhile, the Spanish economy will fall by 1.6% in 2013, with unemployment at 27% and will grow in 2014 by 0.7%.
The Fund said "progress" in the process of fiscal consolidation in Spain, but urged to "do more" precise and specific plans for 2014 "because it is not an option to adjust."
As for the United States, the agency downgraded tenth, to 1.9%, its growth forecast for 2013 and warned that the continuing political disagreements over the debt ceiling could lead to an increase in premium country risk.
Yet the IMF said that the U.S. recovery is "quite strong" and "will be stronger with time."
The economies of Latin America and the Caribbean, meanwhile, maintained its upward trajectory through robust external demand and despite global risks, predicted the Fund, which says the region will grow by 3.4% this year and will reach to 3 , 9% in 2014.
Brazil will grow this year by half a point less than expected in January, with an increase of 3% (up from 0.9% in 2012), and its improvement will boost the entire region.
Peru and Chile "have continued doing well" and are growing close to their maximum potential, according to the director of the IMF's Research Department Thomas Helbling.
All Andean countries, with the exception of Venezuela, will grow to levels above 4% this year.
On the other hand, the Asian economy will grow by 5.7% in 2013 due to the strengthening of external demand and strong domestic consumption, especially in China, according to the IMF, claiming the continent bank management oversight and credit.
The Fund also reiterated its call to a pace of fiscal adjustment "balanced" and warned of the high debt of some advanced economies like the U.S., France, Japan and Spain.
Despite progress in reducing fiscal deficits in recent years, these countries still have much work ahead to achieve fiscal balance, the IMF said in its report on "Fiscal Control".
For its part, the IMF managing director Christine Lagarde said today that the real heroes of the severe economic crisis that erupted in 2008 are not heads of state finance ministers and central bankers but.
"Who have been heroes since the crisis began," asked Lagarde to start a two-day seminar on macroeconomic policies at the headquarters of the Fund and in the framework of the joint spring meeting with the World Bank held This Week in Washington
"I recognize some in this room," said the head of the Fund, who insisted that "the heroes are not the heads of state and finance ministers," but the heads of the central banks around the world.
The meeting is attended, among others, the governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, the head of the central bank of Israel, Stanley Fischer and the Bank of Mexico Governor Agustin Carstens.
