OECD Economic Outlook-Confronting the Crisis

November 22, 2022--The global economy is facing mounting challenges amidst the largest energy market shock since the 1970s and the cost-of-living crisis for many households from rising inflation pressures.

The OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2022 Issue 2 highlights the unusually imbalanced and fragile outlook, the significant downside risks associated with energy market developments and rising financial vulnerabilities as interest rates are raised, and the associated policy challenges. Well-designed and timely policy actions are required to maintain economic stability, enhance energy security and strengthen the prospects for future growth.

Energy security, enhanced data and voluntary carbon markets will all feed into actioning financial strategies discussed at COP27.

Investors and financial institutions need to find the opportunities and navigate the risks a complex energy transition and changing world presents.

Underlying this was concern that the ambition to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is at risk.

How Blended Finance Can Support Climate Transition in Emerging and Developing Economies

November 15, 2022--Innovative instruments and equity finance are needed to enhance risk-sharing through public-private partnerships and maximize the impact of scarce public funds
Emerging market and developing economies account for two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions, and many are highly vulnerable to climate hazards.

These economies will need significant financing in coming years to reduce emissions and adapt to the physical effects of climate change.

Many also have high debt and constrained budgets because of the pandemic and face higher government borrowing costs amid rising interest rates around the world, making it especially difficult for public finance to meet pressing climate financing needs.

These factors mean mobilizing private capital on a large scale will be key to achieving their climate objectives.

IMF-Aging Is the Real Population Bomb

November 15, 2022--Population aging is the top global demographic trend; the pandemic can teach us how to prepare for it
Total world population passed the 8 billion milestone on November 15, 2022.

The progression from 7 to 8 billion people took a mere 12 years, conjuring up long-standing fears associated with rapid population growth, including food shortages, rampant unemployment, the depletion of natural resources, and unchecked environmental degradation.

But the most formidable demographic challenge facing the world is no longer rapid population growth, but population aging. Thoughtful preparedness-combining behavioral changes, investment in human capital and infrastructure, policy and institutional reforms, and technological innovations-can enable countries to meet the challenge and take advantage of the opportunities presented by demographic change.

WTO report shows G20 trade restrictions increasing amidst economic challenges

November 14, 2022--November 14, 2022-In a context of economic uncertainty exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the food security crisis, G20 economies between mid-May and mid-October 2022 introduced export restrictions at an increased pace, particularly on food and fertilizer, according to the 28th WTO Trade Monitoring Report on G20 trade measures issued on 14 November.

WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala called on G20 countries, and all WTO members, to refrain from adopting new trade-restrictive measures that can further contribute to a worsening of the global economic outlook.

While some trade-restrictive measures have been lifted by G20 countries, the report indicates that the trend has been going in the wrong direction. Export restrictions contribute to shortages, price volatility, and uncertainty.

Slowing Global Economic Growth is Increasingly Evident, High-Frequency Data Show

November 13, 2022--While there are multiple headwinds weighing on growth, further policy tightening is expected amid the need to bring down elevated inflation
Global economic growth prospects are confronting a unique mix of headwinds, including from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, interest rate increases to contain inflation, and lingering pandemic effects such as China's lockdowns and disruptions in supply chains.

In turn, our latest World Economic Outlook, released last month, lowered our global growth forecast for next year to 2.7 percent, and we expect countries accounting for more than one third of global output to contract during part of this year or next. Moreover, as we discuss in our latest report prepared for the Group of Twenty, recent high-frequency indicators confirm that the outlook is gloomier.

Investors pump record sums into leveraged ETFs

November 13, 2022--The bullish bets, equivalent to more than 5% of all ETF purchases, mean losses were magnified
Investors have poured record sums into high-risk leveraged funds this year in spite of the collapse in financial markets.

The funds, designed to magnify any market gains, also deepen any losses if asset prices fall, meaning many investors are likely to have been left badly out of pocket as stock markets have tumbled this year.
