OECD cuts forecast for global growth to 3.2%

Description

The OECD cuts its forecast for the world economy, urging governments to resolve their trade disputes as the latest flare-up in the China-US trade war threatens to crimp global growth. Governments "must act urgently to reinvigorate growth that benefits all," the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development says as it pared back its forecast for global growth to 3.2 percent this year from 3.3 percent earlier.
