IMF forecasts medium-term risks to global economy, says further easing is not the solution GlobeBusiness

The IMF said that global growth would have been 0.5 percentage point lower without last year’s actions, the largest combined number of policy rate cuts in advanced and emerging-market economies since the 2008 global financial crisis.

Default rates had already increased in the U.S. high-yield market, and in Chinese on- and offshore corporate bond markets, albeit from low levels, they said, adding that emerging-market debt was also trading at distress levels in some specific cases. While the synchronized easing of monetary policy last year helped contain downside risks, policy-makers should now look to deploy other policy tools, such as the counter-cyclical capital buffer, to “keep rising vulnerabilities from putting growth at risk in the medium term,” they wrote.
