As for the global economy? The IMF sees global growth at 3.9% in 2018 and 2019<\/strong>, a 20 bps improvement from its October 2017 forecast.

Several other emerging markets will also do better this year than previous projections, including Brazil, Mexico, and European EMs. \u201cThe aggregate gains for this country group are, however, weighed down by sharp downward revisions for a few countries in the grip of civil strife, notably Libya, Venezuela, and Yemen.\u201d<\/p>\n
