IMF forecasts inflation could remain high until 2025, affecting global growth

Description

During its annual Spring Meeting in Washington, the International Monetary Fund has revised its forecasts upward to 7 percent for global inflation this year and 4.9 percent in 2024. Those figures, above the target rate of 2 percent, will be contributing factors in slowing down growth, including for developing economies. Also in the show, Switzerland holds parliamentary hearings to review the takeover of embattled bank Credit Suisse by its rival UBS. Plus, Chile passes a law to gradually reduce the working week to 40 hours.
