IMF slashes global growth estimate on slowing US, China

Description

The IMF downgrades its forecast for global economic growth this year, citing the impact of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, which contributed to a slowdown in the United States and China. World GDP is forecast to expand 4.4 percent this year, half a point lower than its previous estimate released in October, says IMF First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath. SOUNDBITE
