IMF head: Growth prospects rising but dangers remain Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), says that while prospects for global growth have improved since January, uneven progress in fighting the coronavirus pandemic could jeopardise the economic gains. Noting that the IMF’s updated economic forecast will next week show the global economy growing at a faster pace than the 5.5% gain projected at the start of the year, she said this has been driven by a $1.9trn US rescue package and rising confidence from increased vaccinations in many advanced economies. However, Ms Georgieva warned that economic prospects are "diverging dangerously" and called on major central banks to “carefully communicate their policy plans to prevent excess financial volatility at home and abroad."
