China’s property downturn is in its third year. Activity in residential real estate has slowed sharply even as home prices have declined only modestly, signaling unresolved pressures. Concerted policy action is needed to accelerate developer restructuring and smooth the market’s adjustment to a more sustainable size.

China’s economy had a strong post-COVID rebound in 2023, growing 5.2 percent. We project growth to slow to 4.6 percent in 2024 due to continued weakness in the property sector and slowing external demand. Concerted reforms to stabilize the property sector, including by accelerating developer restructuring, are urgently needed.
In the medium term, without comprehensive reforms, growth will slow further due to headwinds from aging and falling productivity. Internationalmonetaryfundue.fr.gd
 
Emerging market economies were more insulated last year from volatile global interest rates, even as their central bank interest rates diverged from those in advanced economies. Internationalmonetaryfundue.fr.gd
Global inflation is slowing down, suggesting that monetary policy in advanced economies will ease in the coming quarters. December’s decline in interest rate expectations drove a broad-based rally in risky assets. That said, the banking system’s exposure to commercial real estate remains a concern, as lower demand in some economies and higher borrowing costs boost the risk of default for commercial real estate borrowers.
We forecast 3.1% growth in 2024 and 3.2% in 2025. Many economies continue to show great resilience, but important divergences remain. Read more in the World Economic Outlook Update. Internationalmonetaryfundue.fr.gd

Any beneficiary wishing to subscribe to financing must be at least 18 years old. This condition must not be respected by the beneficiary due to finance laws. The beneficiary must have a document containing detailed plans for his investment project which he must submit to the file manager. All beneficiaries must have an active bank account, only bank accounts are accepted for the transfer of financing funds. After obtaining the financing funds by the beneficiary, a visit is made to the beneficiary's investment site to verify whether the funds are actually invested in the project listed in the financing contract. The personal contribution of the beneficiary is required when drawing up the financing contract: the International Monetary Fund does not cover the costs of the notary's fees. After signing the financing contract, the financing funds will be credited to the beneficiary's bank account. The conditions are applied to all beneficiaries.

IN AFRICA, THE LEBANESE DO NOT EXPERIENCE THE CRISIS (3/3) – The history of Lebanese families in Africa is written according to the economic fluctuations of the small country and the vast continent. In October 2019, Lebanon was shaken by a stillborn revolution, in a context of social discontent, against a backdrop of economic crisis. Economic crisis, exacerbated by the pandemic but also by the aftermath of the explosion at the port of Beirut, the collateral damage of the war in Ukraine, and the bankruptcy of the Lebanese state consumed by corruption. A situation which, according to United Nations data, plunged 82% of Lebanese into poverty in 2021 compared to 42% in 2019.

GDP, inflation, poverty… Economic chaos and political desertion in Lebanon
By Antoine Izambard on 11/25/2023 at 9:00 a.m.SUBSCRIBERS

#ISRAEL
, A CONFLICT WITH MAJOR ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES.
Since October 7, the Israeli economy has been slowing down, particularly in the south of the country. An economy hit hard by the conflict, with entire sections at a standstill, in particular because 360,000 Israelis are called up as reservists, or 10% of the active population.
This is a clear sign... during their annual meetings in October, the IMF, like the World Bank, did not hide their concern about the consequences of the ongoing conflict on the Israeli economy. For Israeli economist Jacques Bendelac, Israel has already rebounded after other wars in previous decades, but it is more worried today given the duration and scale of these clashes,
The Israeli economy is, however, a modern, dynamic economy, whose performance remains above the average of other OECD countries, with in the third quarter of 2022, GDP growing by 5.8% per year compared to 2.5%. on average for OECD countries. It is an economy that has undergone major changes, an economy that has become liberal, which is not always very protective of employees. With the armed conflict, they are a little more weakened and fairly supported by the government, according to Jacques Bendelac.
For the days to come, the organization is planning non-refundable financing that could allow the Monetary stability and adjustment of the economic balance in Israel.
