IMF Update on Global Prospects and Policy Challenges
Recent indicators point to stronger underlying activity in several advanced economies while key emerging economies have slowed. The impulse to global growth is expected to come mainly from the United States in the near term.
Against this background, financial conditions are generally tighter and market pressures have become acute for some emerging economies. Emerging economies were hardest hit following Fed "tapering" remarks and disappointing news about their growth. More recently, market pressures have been concentrated in certain emerging economies with important vulnerabilities. Both push and pull factors appear at work with respect to capital flow reversals and continued heightened market volatility for some—driven by changing expectations of monetary tightening in advanced economies and weaker fundamentals locally in key emerging economies.
