Global Economy Getting Close to a Receding, Central Banks Released
The world economy is advancing towards recession, as economists interviewed by us repeatedly cut growth estimates for the major economies. Meanwhile, central banks are increasing interest rates in order to lower the rate of inflation that has been rising for years.

In fact, the most recent poll predicts the narrowest gap between unemployment and growth over the course of at least four years.
While that could lessen the severity of recessions – the majority of respondents believe it’s going to be quick and insignificant in the most important economies – it could increase inflation for longer than many are currently predicting.
