IMF says global economy slowly recovers

(ANSA) - New York, September 30 - The global economic recovery is continuing but substantial weakness remains in several major economies with inflation too low in the eurozone, the International Monetary Fund said in its World Economic Outlook Tuesday. This means "it is the right time to invest in infrastructure" which creates economic activity and jobs while producing essential structures, said the IMF. "Infrastructure spending pays for itself if done properly (and can increase productivity)", said the agency.
