India's Strong Economy Continues to Lead Global Growth

August 8, 2018--India's economy is picking up and growth prospects look bright-partly thanks to the implementation of recent policies, such as the nationwide goods and services tax. As one of the world's fastest-growing economies-accounting for about 15 percent of global growth-India's economy has helped to lift millions out of poverty.

But to sustain rapid growth and raise incomes for the country's 1.3 billion people, India will need to build on the success of its reforms, the IMF said in its annual assessment of the Indian economy.

IMF Staff Country Reports-Singapore: 2018 Article IV Consultation

July 27, 2018--Summary:
Singapore's economy is on a strong cyclical upswing. Economic growth has recovered to a three-year high, led by externally-oriented sectors that benefitted from the synchronized global expansion. Economic momentum is becoming more broad-based, helping to reduce the labor market slack.

Growth is expected at or above the potential rate in the near term, increasingly supported by domestic demand. Inflation is subdued but expected to rise modestly. The current account surplus, as a share of GDP, has remained large. Risks to the near-term outlook are broadly balanced and come mainly from external sources. Over the medium term, the structural transformation aimed to prepare Singapore for challenges from technological changes globally and population aging at home should help support higher productivity.
