The International Monetary Fund
(IMF) said Monday that it has hiked up its growth forecasts for
Italy.
The fund said it expects Italian GDP to increase by 1.3% this
year, 0.5 of a percentage point more than it predicted in April.
It sees GDP growth of 1% in 2018, 0.2 of a point more than
the previous forecast.
The IMF also revised up its growth forecasts for the eurozone
as a whole, by 0.2 of a point to 1.9% this year and by 0.1 to
1.7% in 2018.
It said the world economy will grow 1% in 2018, but cut its
GDP forecasts for the United States for both this year and next.
